Tari Release v0.8.4

This release adds the stand alone SHA3 miner tari_mining_node to the installers. Some stability fixes were added to prevent store and forward message floods.

Binaries are available here

Tari Mining Node

To mine with the tari_mining_node, you’ll need to start a tari_base_node and a tari_console_wallet with GRPC enabled (both are enabled by default). The mining node mines at least 50% faster than the previous miner included in the base node. You can specify the number of threads to mine by changing the num_mining_threads under the [mining_node] section of the config.
