Version 0.8.4

[guydavis]

Greetings! Machinaris v0.8.4 is now available. Changes include:

• Scaling-Down: Optional mode where wallets are synced daily, not run 24/7. Saves ~35% memory so smaller farmers can farm more blockchains concurrently on the same machine. See Wallets page, top-right Settings.
• Scaling-Up: Improved plot tracking efficiency for multi-PB sized farms. Thanks @grobalt!
• Warnings for duplicated, invalid, or key-less plots. See Farming page.
• Update: Flax to v0.1.10, Cactus to v1.5.2, Chia to v1.6.0
• Security: Disable Setup page's mnemonic import field autocomplete from caching value in your local browser. Thanks @Baatezu!
• Fixes: Better handling of farmed block logging for certain blockchains like Apple & BPX, Alerts from Chia 1.5.1 for added coins missing due to blockchain logging changes. Improved Smartctl response processing. Thanks @Gnomuz!

Is there any documentation on where to set "scaling-down"?

Yes, please see the Wiki. On the Wallets page, click the Settings button (gear icon) top-right.

Choose 'Daily' then monitor over the next few days. On a background thread, each blockchain wallet will be synced at a random hour thru the day, limiting the number of blockchain wallets running concurrently, which lowers the peak memory usage of multiple blockchain fullnodes on a single machine. Hope this helps!
