The new version v16.0.3 seems to have a problem. Bminer crashes on all my rigs, mining Cuckaroo29m

The prior version v16.0.2 runs perfect, with the same configuration.

Still crashing on boot.
I tried to install the latest vcredist and now I have a crash error with vcruntime140.dll. Copied it in the bminer folder => Same error.

crash on C31

It seems that dev is not interested in C31 algo. To bad.

When will you be adding SNI-compliance to the miner so we can use it on the Pexa Pool Platform?

It seems that dev is not interested in C31 algo. To bad.

Well, then you need to look for another bminer that will support C31 algo

gminer does and it's very stable (and fast)

Same here, never been able to run it for the past few months

I am unable to use bminer on windows for any algo, I get this error:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer difference

To whoever it may concern(bminer devs):
Did extensive 48hr test comparing your miner(may it be called Miner1) with another popular grin miner(may it be called Miner2).
Hardware used: 10 NVIDIA GTX 1070 8Gb 125 core offset, 900 memory offset, 112W powerlimit - OS linux based.
Pool used: Grinmint
Miner1 reported 9.25g/s, average accepted hashrate was ~8g/s
Miner2 reported 8.74g/s, average accepted hashrate was ~8.3g/s

Stale shares were in ordinary rate of <2%, same latency to pool.
Even with slightly higher devfee and slightly lower hashrate, Miner2 performed better poolside.
There is definitely something not working correctly in Miner1 solver. Bminer developers can feel free contact me via PM to perform tests or share results.
