@Lolliedieb
I'm wondering if it would be relatively easy to add other Equihash variants to the miner, specifically 192,7 for Zero coin
Right now we have just one miner option, OptiminerZero (and OptiminerEquihash, which is linux only)

Could you look into it?

Lets get this one more stable first xD
I don't know how well the algo will work for other Equihash parameters. Especially the 192/7 consumes a lot of memory and lolMiner currently profits a lot from lots of memory any ways. Of cause I could give a try.
But one thing is certain: unless I find a golden way to get it more stable I would never do a ZCash (200 / 9) version for Windows, because that would cause extreme fud due to miner not stable xD

PC does not go to sleep when lolminer is running. It is troublesome to turn off the monitor every time.
Is there an option to turn off this feature?

Well I can allow it to shut off monitor but was not sure if this is a good idea - because Windows going to power save is not good for mining performance Grin

Never the less - doing a switch to turn it of is not so hard. I will include one in next version.

You need to increase the value of the virtual memory file. The total memory capacity of all video cards plus the amount of RAM memory

Is this true?

On my ubuntu 17.10 machine with 32GB physical memory I just have a 16GB swap partition and have a GTX1060 3GB plus on-board Quadro M1200 4GB so going by your reckoning I should set swap size to be 40GB ?

I'll try adding another swap file sized 24GB and see if there is any difference in performance.

Depends on the Video driver. On Nvidia this is done automatically I gues, AMD handles things differently. If your miner runs without crashes, then you are fine.
