Time is running fast and coding never stops.

Although its only a small update, I would like to share lolMiner-mnx 0.31 with you

For those who do not want all the info whats new, here are just the download links:

Linux 64: Click me (v0.31)
Windows 64:   Click me (v0.31)

But why to download that without need? Well, this is new:

Fixed a bug in the Stratum Interface causing segfaults when receiving new jobs
This did not occur very often and most likely when the miner connected, but well - it happens from time to time and after some searching I found out why. But it seems I will have to do a new json interface for 0.4 - what fixes the segfault is rather a dirty fix and it only covers approx 80% of the possible reasons. Will try to come back with something better.

Introduced a new parameter "--optim"
This takes the two values OFF and STD (default). Setting the parameter to OFF will turn back some optimizations done for 0.3 that cause some lower end or older GPUs to run slower. So this kind of brings back the optimization level of 0.22 if you liked that more. Mid and high end cards will mine faster with this parameter not set (or the default STD), but also consume more energy. So the value OFF is also an option for those running into thermal problems.

If will extent the parameter in future for vendor specific optimizations. Lets see.

Introduced a new parameter "--use-compact-accept-msg"
This will replace the "Submitting Share / Share Accepted" message pair by * symbols attached to the 5 seconds statistics. This automatically activates --use-compact-short-stat, so we now have the following options for lolMiner-mnx to look like:

So, pick what you like most
(Edit: you may see some speed differences between cards ... well the card 0 in this example running into heat problems rather soon and throttles - just that you know)




Did you try the new --exit-on-zero parameter of 0.3? That should close the miner after at most two minutes after the first 0 sols was detected and the scripts provided with the miner (.bat file in Windows, .sh in Linux) should be able to restart it. Does this work for you? If you want a quicker restart you can set the long stats interval shorter.
