Hey Rigel,

T-Rex has a great option: "--keep-gpu-busy". Means, he continue the mining even with no internet connection.

Especially in the winter months that option keeps the GPUs warm and not freezing to death, it's a great safety feature just for the case. Is it possible to get that same option for your miner? Thats the only reason using T-Rex over Rigel.

(And maybe also add ProgPowZ to mine ZANO, would be awesome)

Thanks!

Freezing to death? Colder = better = less power consumption

Some of my rigs running in a room with a negative temperature for years and nothing died because of cold temperature. I don´t why people think hardware die in cold environments. You know about LN2 cooling for CPU or GPU in extreme benchmarks? You know that this parts running at -50C or more negative temperatures and the hardware is fine.

Easy too cold doesn´t exist for pc parts -> the only problem can be condensation formation, but never happend to me.

So keep busy was stupid at T-Rex miner times and is still stupid.
