V1.6.0
+ As some have issues with miner 'just waiting some time' on startup, i added more logging option so we can catch where it hangs, and i can possibly fix that

ok, now i know its
not the new devfee method that is problematic.
But i would suggest to try now a previous version that you know was working good.
Nothing was changed in the new version in the GPU's initialisation process (this is where it hangs), so my guess is something at your side is causing this.
Comparing his log with mine:
[2018-06-09 13:52:22] CryptonightV7 mode enabled
[2018-06-09 13:53:46] DevFee pool SET
[2018-06-09 13:53:46] DevFee address SET
I don't have the "DevFee pools loaded", maybe is this what is slowing down my startup.
well then your firewall is probably blocking srbminer.com domain, and it cant get the devfee pools from online. add an exception to your firewall for the srbminer.com domain.
I think this too
I set firewall to allow all (Firewall says is disabled)
Added an entry to srbminer expressly allowing port 80
Also added srbminer.com to trusted sites
But no changes
I'm preparing a usb stick with W10 to test this & the self close after the 4th retry when using max_difficulty
I have results...
First of all, I'm using Server 2008 what is about the same than W7
I completely removed my firewall & now:
[2018-06-13 05:04:02] CryptonightV7 mode enabled
[2018-06-13 05:04:44] DevFee pools loaded
[2018-06-13 05:04:44] DevFee pool SET
[2018-06-13 05:04:44] DevFee address SET
[2018-06-13 05:04:44] Starting init of mining threads
Devfee pools are loaded but still taking too long to start, about 42 seconds what is best than previous 78 sec.
This does not happens in W10
Also the self shutdown of SRBminer after 4th reconnect only happens in Server not in W10
The good part of Server is that with the RX 580 4GB I can set intensity to 61 in V7 while in W10 I can only set 59 loosing some H/s
