Notes:
- Limited testing has been done. Please report any bugs.

- Use --help command line for more info.

- Algos supported are Jackpot, Quark, Scrypt and SHA256.

- New Timer Mode feature (windows only)
  This times in seconds minutes how long it takes to reach x shares submitted.
  Only Good shares are counted.
  Use --timer 10 for example to time 10 submitted shares (or blocks found solo mining)
  If x shares is reached a message colored Purple will show the time elapsed.
  When the amount of shares is reached the timer is turned off and does nothing.
 
- New Benchmark Mode feature.
  Use Command-Line --benchmark to run the hashing test.
  This will test out your hashing speed and report back a summary on intervals.
  Benchmarking is done in offline mode no connection to pools or daemons needed.
  Example: minerd -t 6 --benchmark
 
- Color coding is as follows.
  Red = Error
  Green = Normal Share.
  Cyan = Fastest submitted Share.
  Purple = Special messages.
  Blue = New Block info.
 
- Default color mode is Bright.
  Use --color normal for normal colors
  Use --color bright for bright colors
  Use --color none for no colors (text will be grey)
  Or use -w instead of --color
  The Command-Line is only needed to set dull colors or none.
 
- Scantime command line bug fix mod notes.
  The option has never worked on ANY cpu miner and i fixed it.
  The only cicumstances it would ever have any effect is when solo mining.
  I fixed this last year and checked numerous github repo's
  and every single cpu miner mod and cudaminer mod suffered from the same bug.
  what this means is that if you set --scantime on a Pool it does nothing at all.
  Teh code clearly shows how teh scan time command line option is only used
  when Long Polling or Stratum is NOT found and it then has ALWAYS defaulted to 60
  60 is a hard coded value on every cpu miner and cudaminer version i have ever seen.
  #define LP_SCANTIME   60 is written in cpuminer.c in all repo's
 
  So it's working now have fun and experiment with it
