24.8 has been available for 26 days already. Is this package still being maintained?

Edit: I contacted the current maintainer via his Gmail email and kindly asked him to update or orphan the package.

After the Github page 404'd they now host the binary on their own website according to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4432704.1520

0.20.3 is available like:

0.20.3 should be available. An update would be appreciated, and thanks for packaging in the first place.

Didn't realize there was guidelines for package descriptions @Hendrikto, thanks for pointing those out! Description updated :)

Hey, thanks for packaging this :)

I have an improvement request:

The package description does not follow the conventions, specifically:

  • "recommended to be 80 characters or less"
  • "should not include the package name"
  • does not end with a full stop

May I suggest "Cryptocurrency miner for NVIDIA hardware, supporting a variety of algorithms"?

Also, just as a note to the users: Since T-Rex is distributed as a binary, and source code is not even available, it is highly recommended to run this in an isolated environment.
