Hey there, I decided to remove the display of anything related to that. Let me explain why. x16r uses 16 hash functions randomized by the previous block. Whenever you submit a valid share it is because your miner received that hash function order, went through all 16 hash functions, got an output, and checked that output against the server/blockchain to confirm it was valid. Each hash function alone (skein, keccak, sha512, simd, etc) is executed in a very brief time (a few seconds at most, tenths of a second at the lower end). To display which hash function the miner is "currently" on would require printing at least 16 lines in between each accepted share. That is simply to much (in my opinion not extremely important) information to display on the console. Also considering that printing those lines every share is not computationally "free" I have decided I do not want it in my main build.

With that being said it is not an issue for me to compile a custom version for you with the line that displays the single character versions of the hash order.

"0123456789ABCDEF"

For example ^.


I didn't know it is that short of time of each hash function. In that case, it is best to not show them.
Thanks for the explanation.
