Whoever is capable of compiling own sgminer, please test this version:
https://github.com/bitbandi/sgminer/It contains two fixes:
- idlebug fix
- support for extranonce subscription - no more reconnects when switching orders -> your hashrate on NiceHash will be higher
I tried your fixed version, and after ~8 hours it started acting up.
Then, I added in 'phzi's pool->idle = true; fix as well into the code - and it still started screwing up after a while.
I don't think the idle bug is fixed.
I am fairly sure the idle bug is fixed, but I have heard the extranonce stuff seems possibly unstable.
If you're using the bitbandi/sgminer code, then the included fix is a bit different -
https://github.com/bitbandi/sgminer/commit/77545de0e8b0d0a6e57cf518920de5e6b818e290 . You won't want to be using pool->idle = true; AND this commit. Closing the stratum connection like in that commit causes pool->stratum_active = pool->stratum_notify = false (but does not affect pool->idle). I can't say if this works, as I haven't tested it myself. But, from my read thru of the code, the program flow will be quite different then my patch, and I was marking the pool idle instead of suspending stratum for a reason.
