EXTRANONCE SUBSCRIBE (#XNSUB) --

The acronym "#XNSUB" is used to tell some mining software to use extanonce subscribe code, as in "algo.usa.nicehash.com:1234/#xnsub".  Yes, your miner may have worked on nicehash since verssion four (v4).  However, getting it to compile and run on my own Lubuntu 14.04 rig was not so simple.  I am grateful that krnlx provided both a binary, and code, that simply went together immediately.

The nasty red "X" that appears in the extranonce subscribe column of the NiceHash stats (statistics) page is bothersome.  Your miner does mine on several different pools as-is.  I left some dust at about three.  NiceHash pays in BitCoin (BTC), and the perservering wallet problems  for Zcash (ZEC) are not in play there.  All my nVidia cards are currently minning CryptoNight  (XMR) or Zcash (ZEC) on NiceHash at the moment, and the BTC payout offsets the recurring ZEC wallet problems encounterred by my Linux AMD ZEC rigs.

Thank you for your coding efforts.  Please keep up the good work!         --scryptr

Ok I added xnsub support:
