Bug fixes and stability improvements
⚙️ minerstat for Windows (v6.3.3)
Changes since v6.3.2 version:
- Updated hardware monitoring libs for better support for AMD temps/fans.
- GUI showing backend version and indicating mismatch (Re-installation is required in case of such issue).
- Improvements with System compatibility and Virtual memory checks.
- Improvements for Windows 10 region/time data/currency formats where reported number formats were not the same as expected.

We are introducing a new service to minerstat: Outage compensation.
For every full-hour that your workers are not mining due to unexpected power failure or flood, or even when you are carrying out scheduled maintenance activities, minerstat will partially compensate your offline subscription time with minerstat Credits.
Service is automatic and therefore no further action is required from your end as all added workers on paid (and customers') accounts are eligible for the compensation.

Added Security exposure check for ports 22 (SSH) and 4200 (Web console), so you can check if you rig or a device on your public IP is reachable remotely or not.
Note: msOS is highly protected system out of the box. Security check was added as an extra layer for your confirmation that your device on the IP is not reachable from the outside.

Improved generation of unique SSH keys to further strengthen rigs' privacy and security.
New command mpass to change the default login password. As firewall is enabled by default, this is really optional. Keep in mind that if you change the password, you will be asked for it each time you log in to the local console, SSH, and SFTP.
Note: Unique SSH keys are part of our codebase since 2019; msOS is also by default blocking all incoming connections from outside of your network. This improvement is another layer of security that will help miners that forgot to disable DMZ (or wish to keep it enabled) or if their NAT is not enabled. You may notice changed fingerprint on SSH logins, but that is expected and normal after this update.
