Failure State Undetected

[emily-pesce]

I had a failure where something crashed (I am guessing one of the GPUs) and ethminer started finding stale/incorrect nonces. Although I had the MinerLamp logging truncated to exclude the MH/s output, I am guessing all logging except for the "Solution Found" line stopped. Thus, I think MinerLamp failed to notice the crash and didn't restart.

Brainstorming: two ways to detect:

1. if no hash rate printed for X seconds then fail, or
2. if multiple "Solution found" printed without corresponding stratum message (accepted or stale) then fail

System is 7x RX470.

Running ethminer 0.12.0.dev1

Hey.
Too bad you checked "display only share info"... should have been nice to have the complete output.
Anyway, I will try to do something on this behaviour.

Hi Michael,

It should be fixed in the last commit.
There is a new thread waiting for any hash rate.. if the delay is expired the ethminer process is restarted.
