Time is running fast and coding never stops.
Although its only a small update, I would like to share
lolMiner-mnx 0.31 with you
For those who do not want all the info whats new, here are just the download links:

Click me (v0.31) Awesome work once again Mr Lollie!
However, with my little setup I have found that with my Nvidia GTX 1060 v0.31 with "--optim=OFF" works better/faster than v0.3 and v0.22
(I think since writing this you have made another fix, I will re-test)
For this card (slightly overclocked) the average speeds for each version are:
v0.22 - 11200 sol/s
v0.3 - 11300 sol/s
v0.31 - 12500 sol/s
And now with v0.31 if I try to run it against my Intel CPU I see one core get very busy but not much else (in benchmark mode):
./lolMiner-mnx_v031 --platform 1 --device 1 --optim OFF --use-alt-mine-thread

Welcome to lolMiner-mnx v0.31
This software is only meant for pool mining
with the Equihash 96/5 algorithm (MARS)
For usage instructions add -h to the commandline.

Using expert parameter "--use-alt-mine-thread". Be aware on possible consequences on CPU load and miner stability.
Multi GPU support will be deactivated.

Also, the stdout from lolMiner (all versions) when piped into a file is regarded by my Linux host to be a data file, because I think of a control-@ null character...?
$ ./lolMiner-mnx_v031 --platform 0 --device 0 --optim OFF > test.log 2>&1

Using device with id 0 (GeForce GTX 1060 3GB^@)This is only a bit annoying when wanting to use text search tools such as grep on the log files, which I can fixup using the strings util.
$ grep Average test.log
Binary file test.log matches
$ strings test.log | grep Average
