Hey Doktor - any plans to support the new Masari algorithm (CN-Fast)?

See https://medium.com/@officialmasari/masari-launches-cn-fast-8d6a535a263f for details.

Any hashrate increase? Like for 1.5.8. when you didn´t say anything and my vegas hashed like 200 more per rig, what a nice surprise 

So you getting about 2200h now or more?

yeah dok im sticking to 1.5.8 my vegas got higher output compared to 1.5.9. https://www.reddit.com/r/havenprotocol/comments/8ohw6t/haven_v3_hardfork_coming_in_2_weeks/ - haven is also forking.

thanks for forking infos guys, srb is prepared for stellitev4, the other two ill have to check them out.

V1.5.9

- Added "max_difficulty" parameter in pools, if reached miner will reconnect to pool
- Better logging on miner crash
- Kernels are now built in Cache directory
- Probably fixed situation when miner crashes on pool switch
- Fixed .srb file creation on every miner run
- Hopefully reduced nicehash duplicate share errors
- Changed the way devfee pools are used

+ Now you can define a "max_difficulty" for every pool you have in pools config. Sometimes it happens that pool sends abnormally high difficulty, and miner can't find a share for a long time. In this case, by setting "max_difficulty", when ever pool difficulty is higher than the value you set, miner disconnects and reconnects to the pool.

+ There is now a Cache directory where the miner creates cached versions of OpenCL kernels

+ Some reported miner crash after multiple pool disconnect/reconnects , not able to log in etc.. I hope i found the cause of it and fixed it

+ Learned from the previous big mistake with devfee pools hardcoded in the miner, now miner gets the list of devfee pools from http://srbminer.com, so please allow/don't block it on your firewall

Cool stuff, dok. Starting to move to 1.5.9 now, 5 left remaining  .

EDIT:
All 8 rigs now running with 1.5.9, and looking good.

Thanks, dok!

1.5.8 shouldnt be faster than 1.5.9, cause nothing was changed that could impact speed. Placebo

unbelievable but true. my RX 550 2gb at 1.5.8 gave out stably 6590 hashes at setting 26/8/2, and on 1.5.9 neither as more than 6510 hashes

in this case, everything is not stable, or the cards do not start all at once, but only after a couple of reboots and after that in a couple of hours all the same 0 the hashes are shown and the reboot is going on. But on the other hand, the speed on version 1.5.8 strongly diverged by the indications on the pool, and 1.5.9 shows approximately equal values with the pool. So we stay on 1.5.9 I think 6500 with 13 RX 550 cards is a good result, the main thing is that there would be stability.
Thank you for the miner.

wow many thanks dok, will try now mining on nicehash with max_difficulty.

ok, and report is it working like it should
You can define max_difficulty for every pool like :

{"pool" : "lotsofcoinspool1", "wallet" : "", "password" : "x", "max_difficulty" : 150000},
{"pool" : "lotsofcoinspool2", "wallet" : "", "password" : "x", "max_difficulty" : 400000}

yes I already define max_difficulty, will monitoring for a while.
just to let you know I can confirm hash rate drop after reconnecting to pool for RX Vega.

Reconnecting due to high diff work perfectly.

Bro, in my case, after reconnecting, the hashrate was drop. But after waiting a few minutes, it's back normal.
May be you were too quick to observe?

Apologies, I misread..I got really excited but it's still better I suppose. Will try it out this weekend

Hashrate drop after pool change (disconnect/connect) is normal, but the hash should stabilize back. The problem is if it won't go back at all.
But i am curious is this somethings specific to 18.5.2 drivers ?

I thought there were my personal suspects, but checked again after reading this and yes, 1.5.8 is a little bit faster.
1.5.9:     "hashrate_total_30min": 7738
I've terminated it and run 1.5.8 with same configs:     "hashrate_total_30min": 7746,
maybe new nicehash features add a tiny lag to a mining process?

this is it?

HR * 40 is normal dif? 12000*40 = 480000 and limit 1100000 is to high or ??

and your port NH is 3364? my nH work on 3363 ...

pool setting should be correct, the order doesn't matter.
port 3364 for cn-heavy and port 3363 for cn-v7.
mine 9500 h/s and I put max diff 800000 base on my observation.
