Release 4.0

[revoxhere]

Hello Duino miners!

Woah, it's the biggest update we've had this year probably. Most importantly you can now use the universal ESP code and benefit from the new reward system (when using the newest version). The PC and AVR Miners have also been updated to fix some of the bugs and provide more user friendly experience. Please note that I'll probably be still adjusting the earnings in the upcoming days, but I don't plan on making any major changes. Only the Arduino code didn't receive any changes, so you don't have to reflash your boards this time. And last but not least, happy new year! 🎉 🎆

This is a major release - you should update. Nodes may stop accepting old miner versions in a few weeks.

cuando actualice solo una placa de mi minero a la version 3.9, dejo de funcionar todo el minero y quedo el esp32 con la version 3.9 en pantalla , trabado sin funcionar, con el esp32 desconectado inclusive.

Thats weird I have tried to update my miners to 4.0 with no luck but 5 out 22 miners of mine are still running on 3.5 and the others running on 3.9 and not one on 4.0. just thought I would tell what my miners are doing thanks for your info.
