Re: [ANN] Bminer: a fast Equihash miner for CUDA GPUs (5.5.0)
please, do something about permanent "updating" at the start of miner.
[INFO] [2018-03-15T23:11:01+06:00] Checking updates
[WARN] [2018-03-15T23:11:31+06:00] Failed to read from the network: Get : net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)
and so on.
bminer.me and bminercontents.com are unreachable because of provider block or something similar - downloading somewhere.
i suppose that is the key to the problem!
its a problem because when "updating" finished, mining simply could not start with probable error. you waiting 5+ minutes - then an error. and starting over with config changes.
thank you!

We will address this issue in next time. For example, shorten the wait time and retry time.
Sometimes computer is freezing for 5-6 minutes while "updation", and if its a reboot - loosing control over the situation - should wait of "update" finish.
Please, fix it - best variant is 1 try for upto 5 seconds of timeout
Btw, on computer having normal access to bminer.me the update process finishes instantly and do not change bminer.exe with new version.
