Glaciem Miner v1.1.18

Pool mining reliability — major fix

Fixes a bug where mining to the pool could silently stop earning. Found
blocks were submitted through the same queue as ordinary shares; under normal
share volume that queue could back up, so a found block landed too late and got
orphaned (no reward), while shares piled up and came back as stale job.

  • Full-block solutions are now submitted immediately, ahead of shares — a
    found block is never delayed into an orphan.
  • The share-submit queue is bounded, so it can't back up under load or
    network latency.
  • The miner self-heals if it ever drifts onto a stale job, instead of
    getting stuck mining dead work until you restart it.

This release covers macOS, Windows, and Android. Linux (AppImage/Flatpak)
follows shortly.

Server-side pool improvements (already live, no action needed)

  • Stable per-block job IDs (no more stale-job storms at block boundaries).
  • Lower share difficulty for submit-pipeline headroom (earnings-neutral).
  • Honest block stats on the pool page.
