Thanks for the feedback on the V1.4, I will try to figure it , at least in not stuck in a loop of "retry after" and now exits, I hope to fix if soon, sry for that but it looks like ccminer not working very stable with 2 pools as mentioned above.
Regarding hide-diff and -q, it's just saves unneeded processes(CPU load) of calculation the diff of share and displaying log per GPU, this is why I made the -q to work after 180 sec so you could start mining and see the stats that all GPU's working OK and then it will enter the Quiet mode.
I can't say anything on stability for 1.3 vs 1.4, but on 1.4 it is really finicky when it decides to crash. Spent too much time trying to push the max clocks on cards and it seems stable for an hour but then crashes later. The terminating workio threads for me was a pool issue, for either 1.3 or 1.4.
