ProgPOW Cuda about swarm

[MaynardMiner]

Nvidia users are reporting an NVRTC error as well. I am investigating.

[MaynardMiner]

I believe the version now contained in 2.0.5 is not free from errors, and was compiled correctly.

Please post if you have issues, will leave open for a bit.

Proposed fix did not work.

I will try to compile a 9.2 version, by their exact specifications, rather then trying to inject Cuda-10.0 toolkit, and see if that gives better success for users.

It has been determined, and pointed out in discord that the issue with ProgPOW miner in linux, is that it does not dlopen() NVRTC.

This means that in order to use ProgPOW, you must compile miner natively on rig.

HiveOS has a version that is compiled to their OS, but if you updated drivers- You broke the shared links.

I created the following script for users. I will not give support on its use:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

cd
