Interesting, that seems similar to what Bulletdodger means. Okay so it seems that Claymore's miner still has this problem? I could give it a try. Not sure about the dev fee block though, I don't know how cryptocurrencies work internally, but I can surely monitor GPU usage, logfiles and processes, I could give this a try and report back, thanks!

As I've seen sometimes this solution does not work, which is in fact one of the reasons why I made this app for another friend who was using a zac miner or something like that. I think it was quoted in another post, which I'll quote here:

I can improve it as well with GPU usage monitoring instead of process monitoring, that's why I posted this here in order to get feedback and make an useful tool for all

I have a 1060 with me, what do I need to try that Zec miner and monitor GPU usage to make it another feature? If you can guide me, I'll improve the app so you will be able to use it too

Also, I can make it monitor a logfile or something if the miner has one, this way I can look for key strings (disconnections as you say, maybe?) and act accordingly.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hello! thanks for your feedback! .

I see, well, since I haven't used much mining apps (other than simple tests, haha) I wasn't aware of that.

Thanks for the heads up, I can do that I guess, do you know what miner app I can use to test and develop that feature?

Hello all!

Long-time lurker, first-poster here!. First of all, a small introduction: I've been interested in the cryptocurrency world since it began at around $50 a BTC (lol!) however, I never had the possibility to get any (country issues ) and now I'm living somewhere else and electricity is expensive so mining isn't an option. However, I do have a lot of development experience and a few friends who can mine, and they have been looking for an app that can keep their miner apps alive. Somehow, it seems that the processes sometimes crash (usually experimental/beta software?) and they need to reboot them every now and then.

So, due to this need and one of my friend's suggestion to post it here (I do have a few debts to pay and I'm really short on money, this new place is expensive as heck and I can't move yet) I figured I could make a full-fledged app since it seems to be a common need. I'm not sure if this should be posted in here or in the BTC forum, as I said I'm not a miner so I don't know if the altcoins apps are stable. If mods consider this should be moved elsewhere, feel free to do so!

Now without further ado, here's the github repo for the app I made (includes documentation and how to use!):

https://github.com/darkguy2008/kyma

You can download binary and source code versions from there!

As a sidenote, I've been reading a lot lately that some scurvy rats have been including malware in their source code (which I highly disapprove, that's pretty low man...), however I'm being transparent and honest here. The code is around less than 300-lines long combined and it's written in C# so it's easy to read and figure out what it does.

Basically, it checks every N seconds for a process .exe name and if it doesn't exist, it waits N seconds before it runs a specific .exe/.bat/etc. file (which hopefully starts the miner) again. I've noticed miner apps always have a .bat file which you run to start up the .exe with some parameters, so I think you'll be familiarized with the process as this app is made to be run the same way.

I'm thinking I could improve this app and make a GUI or something, maybe to monitor more than one process and/or provide other advanced options, but I'd like to know if it's useful first, before I spend a lot of time working in something that might not have enough interest. If there's a lot of interest, I can make a Linux-version using the Mono framework, which is easy to install in any platform nowadays, even OSX (but, who mines with a mac? is that even profitable? lol )

I'm not sure if I can post wallet addresses here, so if you want to donate and help me a bit, you can find them in the GitHub link.

Thanks and happy mining!
