Hey. There is an error. I tried to run 6 cards RX550 2Gb. With intensity 12 all cards are launched. But the result is noticeably lower than on GG. At an intensity of 13, only 5 cards are mined. The result is close to GG. 6th can not mine. Launched in 2 threads. On gg I get 495-500 h / s

you need to fix graft or add option to choose cryptonight / cryptonight v7 manually...graft gets false detected as v7(on castxmr /xmr stak too)

No problem, a fix is coming, thanks for reporting !

Edit: fixed in V1.1

Let me quote this for you from the first post :

POW V7 ready (means new Monero algo will work)


Cryptonight: Monero, Electroneum, Sumokoin, Karbowanec, Bytecoin, Turtlecoin, Dero and others.
Cryptonight Lite: Aeon

Supports Nicehash & SSL/TLS encrypted connections

Does it support nicehash?
or is it going to be implemented after they upgrade to v7?

Tips:

) If you are having issues that the miner sometimes 'just stops and crashes' use the SRB-Restarter tool, it will auto restart the miner in this case

) If you get a "Error CL_MEM_OBJECT_ALLOCATION_FAILURE when calling clEnqueueNDRangeKernel" error, increase virtual memory.

) If you get something like "Warning: threadx hashing speed is 0 (x)", that probably means you need to lower your intensity. Auto intensity is not magical always, sorry.

) If you have hashrate fluctuations on some algo, try increasing your swap file even more (example 12x560 4g rig needs 90gb swap on heavy)

) Use enableduplicategpuid parameter to use different settings for threads on same gpu :

1.Put --enableduplicategpuid in start.bat at the end of line ( SRBMiner-CN.exe --config config-normalv7.txt --pools pools-normalv7.txt  --enableduplicategpuid )
2.Set gpu threads in config-normalv7.txt :

Code:
{
"cryptonight_type" : "normalv7",
"intensity" : 0,
"double_threads" : true,
"gpu_conf" :
[
{
 "id" : 0,
 "intensity" : 122,
 "worksize" : 8,
 "threads" : 1
},
{
 "id" : 0,
 "intensity" : 124,
 "worksize" : 8,
 "threads" : 1
}
]
}


What was done here?  When using 2 threads , the best value for intensity is 123. By enabling the usage of duplicate gpu id, you make 2 separate threads for 1 gpu, but one has value 123-1, the other 123+1.
This method can be used on any GPU, you just need to experiment with the intensities.

) If you want to use Claymore's Manager with SRBMiner, there is a tool for this made by RuMiner, check it out HERE

) If your main concern is power usage, try using a higher value for WORKSIZE. Your hashrate will probably be lower, so experiment to find a value that suits your hashes/watt expectation.
For example you can get -10W on turtle algo on vegas if you use a worksize of 32 , and not 16, but hashrate will be only decreased by ~400hs.

DevFee:
- DevFee is very low, it's only ~ 0.85% (both in normal mode and in algo switching mode)
- Using the same algo as user for devfee mining, so there is no difference in algo settings, power usage, etc..



Extra:
- Guided setup mode for basic configuration
- Watchdog that monitors your GPU threads, if they stop hashing for a few minutes, miner restarts itself
- Hash monitor, if 5 minute average hash falls under the value you define, miner restarts itself
- Startup monitor, if miner can't init GPU's and start mining in a defined time, restarts itself or runs a user defined script
- Monitoring of GPU temperature, and if a critical temperature is reached, that particular GPU is turned off until it cools down
- Set system shutdown temperature, to protect your GPU's from overheating
- Restart (disable/enable) Vega gpu's before mining for maximum performance
- API for rig monitoring
- Web based GUI interface for miner statistics
- Set compute mode and disable crossfire on all cards
- Benchmark every algo locally without connecting to a pool
- Auto switch to new algo on coin fork
- Slow GPU start, so your PSU's wont get overloaded at once



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO AUTO SWITCH ALGO ON COIN FORK
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To use the auto switch on fork option do this :

Example for Monero fork from V8 to V4

start.bat
SRBMiner-CN.exe --enablecoinforking --config Config\config-normalv8.txt --pools pools.txt

Explained :
1. Start mining with normalv8 algo, that is the algo Monero uses pre V4 fork
2. Add --enablecoinforking parameter so miner knows you want to use the built-in (predefined) fork informations
3. When pool sends a job for the new algo, miner will auto switch to the new algo,if you have it defined in algos.txt (and you do by defaultif you haven't removed it)

Note that this will work only if i knew about the fork and added the needed info in the miner.

CONFIG.TXT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


You can use these options :
Note: use all lowercase characters

"cryptonight_type" : algo name or alias (algo name is between [] on the algo list beneath)
"double_threads" : true or false, set it to true for best performance
"fragments" : 0,1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128. It can boost your hashrate if you find the right value for your GPU.
"giveup_limit" : number, how many times to try connecting to a pool before switching to next pool from pools.txt
"heavy_mode" : 1,2 or 3. Method for doing calculations on heavy algos (Heavy, Haven, Swap, Italo, BitTube). Default is 3.
"intensity" : 0-1600, if set to 0 miner will try to find best settings for every video card
"main_pool_reconnect" : number - seconds (minimum is 3 minutes or 180 sec), how often to try to reconnect back to the main pool. Default is 10 minutes.
"min_rig_speed" : number - in H/S, it defines the minimum rig hashing speed we want to maintain. If average hashing speed is less than this, miner restarts.
"min_rig_speed_duration" : number - in seconds (minimum is 30 sec), defines the time period to check average hashing speed, used with 'min_rig_speed' parameter
"off_temperature" : temperature in C, when to turn off GPU if it reaches this value. After value - 15, the GPU is turned on again automatically
"old_mode" : true or false, create kernels with the old method, useful probably only on Vegas with algos that have a scratchpad <= 1MB (default is false)
"reboot_script_gpu_watchdog" : filename to a batch file in miner directory, if set it turns off built in miner reset procedure on gpu failure, and instead runs this script
"reboot_script_min_rig_speed" : filename to a batch file in miner directory, if set it turns off built in miner reset procedure on min_rig_speed trigger, and instead runs this script
"retry_time" : number - seconds, how much to wait before trying to reconnect to a pool
"shutdown_temperature" : number between 0-100, if this temperature is reached, miner will shutdown system (ADL must be enabled)
"target_temperature" : number between 0-99, miner will try to maintain this temperature on all found video cards (ADL must be enabled, works only on cards supporting OverdriveN)
"thread_delay" : 1-1000, delay to maintain between same gpu threads (default is 319)
"timeout" : number - seconds, when is a connection to a pool treated as timed out
"tweak_profile" : number 0-10 , applies tweaks to the GPU that can increase hashrate. 0 - not using any tweaks, 10 - max tweaking. If you add L after the number it will use the low settings (ex. "4L")
"worksize" : 1-256, if set, every video card will use this worksize, if not set, using auto detected value



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manual GPU setup (advanced)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To manually set up video cards, you must create a "gpu_conf" array in the config.txt file.

Example :

Code:
"gpu_conf" :
[
{ "id" : 0, "intensity" : 0 , "worksize" : 16, "threads" : 2},
{ "id" : 1, "intensity" : 0 , "worksize" : 16, "threads" : 2},
{ "id" : 2, "intensity" : 60, "worksize" : 8 , "threads" : 2},
{ "id" : 3, "intensity" : 55, "worksize" : 8 , "threads" : 2}
]


Additional parameters:

"adl_type" : 1 or 2 , 1 - USE OVERDRIVEN , 2 - USE OVERDRIVE 5. Default is 1 if not set. Option 2 (Overdrive 5) is suitable for older cards
"fragments" : 0,1,2,4,8,16,32,64 or 128. It can boost your hashrate if you find the right value for your GPU
"heavy_mode" : 1,2 or 3. Method for doing calculations on heavy algos (Heavy, Haven, Swap, Italo, BitTube). Default is 3.
"off_temperature" : temperature in C, when to turn off GPU if it reaches this value. After value - 15, the GPU is turned on again automatically
"old_mode" : true or false, creates kernel with the old method, useful probably only on Vegas with algos that have a scratchpad <= 1MB (default is false)
"persistent_memory" : true or false, if set miner will try to allocate extra memory for the video card, if it is available. CAUTION, MINER CAN BECOME UNSTABLE AND CRASH if using this option
"target_fan_speed" : 0-6000, if set miner will try to set the video card fan speed to this speed. Setting is in RPM (rounds per minute) (ADL must be enabled)
"target_temperature" : 0-99, if set miner will try to maintain this temperature for this particular video card. If option 'target_temperature' on top of config.txt is set, this option WILL BE IGNORED. (ADL must be enabled, works only on cards supporting OverdriveN)
"thread_delay" : 1-1000, delay to maintain between same gpu threads (default is 319)
"tweak_profile" : number 0-10 , applies tweaks to the GPU that can increase hashrate. 0 - not using any tweaks, 10 - max tweaking. If you add L after the number it will use the low settings (ex. "4L")

TWEAKING PROFILES [VEGA56/64/FE/VII] & [RX 550/560, RX 470/480/570/580/590]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have VEGA56/64/FE/VII cards i recommend using the 'tweak_profile' parameter because it can significantly (up to 15%) increase your hashrate almost on every algorithm!
For RX series cards, the 'tweak_profile' option can bring some extra hash for your modded GPU.
It can be used on stock bios GPU's too, but the performance will be far from the performance of a modded bios.

Please read these VERY IMPORTANT things:

1. Miner must run with administrator privileges [right click on SRBMiner-CN.exe->properties->compatibility-> check 'Run this program as an administrator' option-> click OK button
2. Be patient, it takes some time to find optimal settings for your gpu/rig. Always test 1 card at a time.
3. If you start getting invalid shares or compute errors, that means the profile is too much for that gpu, so lower it. Or decrease your memory frequency.


To use in config file, use the "tweak_profile" parameter on top of config so the same profile is used for all cards, or in gpu_conf to set a different profile for every card.
Not every gpu can handle the same profile, so you need to find the right one for every gpu.

Tweak levels :

0 - no change, uses your original settings
1 - light tweak
2
3
4
10 - max tweak

Every profile has also weaker (low) settings. To use the low profile, add L after the profile number.
If using gpu setup in cmd it would look like this for example: --cgputweakprofile 3,4,4L,5L
If using config file, you must surround the value with quotation marks if you want to use the L profile. Example : "5L"


The simplest mode to apply a tweak profile is by using + or - on your keyboard while the miner is running.
Please note that if you get gpus 0 hash after this, it does not necessarily mean it can't handle that profile.
Try to assign the profile to the gpu with one of the methods described under.


Example for cmdline setup [4 gpu]:
Gpu 0 uses profile 3
Gpu 1 uses low profile 4
Gpu 2 uses low profile 4
Gpu 3 uses profile 5

Code:
SRBMiner-CN.exe --ccryptonighttype normalv4 --cgpuid 0,1,2,3 --cgpuintensity 112,112,111,110 --cgpuworksize 16,16,16,16 --cgputhreads 2,2,2,2 --cgputweakprofile 3,4L,4L,5 --cpool xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14444 --cwallet 4A5hJyu2FvuM2azexYssHW2odrNCNWVqLLmzCowrA57xGJLNufXfzVgcMpAy3YWpzZSAPALhVH4Ed7xo6RZYyw2bUtbm12g.donation


Same example as above, using config file setup:

Code:
{
"cryptonight_type" : "normalv4",
"intensity" : 0,
"double_threads" : true,
"gpu_conf" :
[
{
 "id" : 0,
 "intensity" : 112,
 "worksize" : 16,
 "threads" : 2,
 "tweak_profile" : 3
},
{
 "id" : 1,
 "intensity" : 112,
 "worksize" : 16,
 "threads" : 2,
 "tweak_profile" : "4L"
},
{
 "id" : 2,
 "intensity" : 111,
 "worksize" : 16,
 "threads" : 2,
 "tweak_profile" : "4L"
},
{
 "id" : 3,
 "intensity" : 110,
 "worksize" : 16,
 "threads" : 2,
 "tweak_profile" : 5
}
]
}


Here are some numbers from my Vega56 with Hynix memory, just pushed mem up to 940mhs and P7 to 925mV.

Applied only "tweak_profile" : 10 to every config, nothing else changed in config.

Before tweak / After tweak ~ increase in percents

v4:  1854 / 2128 ~ 15%
upx2:  60400 / 71200 ~ 18%
haven: 1800 / 2000 ~ 11%
turtle: 15630 / 18440 ~ 18%
mox: 3845 / 4525 ~ 17%
fast2: 3604 / 4111 ~ 14%
conceal: 3726 / 4065 ~9%
litev7: 4386 / 4965 ~13%
xcash: 958 / 1106 ~15%


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POOLS.TXT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Example:

{
"pools" :
[
   {"pool" : "pool_1_address", "wallet" : "pool_1_wallet", "password" : "x"},
   {"pool" : "pool_2_address", "wallet" : "pool_2_wallet", "password" : "x"},
   {"pool" : "pool_3_address", "wallet" : "pool_3_wallet", "password" : "x"}
]
}

Pool on first position is the MAIN pool, others are counted as FAILOVER pools.

Additional parameters:

"worker" : worker name, not every pool supports this
"nicehash" : true or false, set this to true if you are using Nicehash
"keepalive" : true or false, not every pool supports this
"pool_use_tls": true or false, if true miner will use SSL/TLS to connect to pool
"job_timeout" : number in seconds, if no job is received for this period, miner will reconnect to the pool (Default is off)
"max_difficulty" : number, if pool difficulty is above this value miner will reconnect to the pool
"cryptonight_type" : if defined, and --usealgoswitching is used, it indicates the algo for the pool.


A short explanation of "cryptonight_type" and how to use it :

{
"pools" :
[
   {"pool" : "pool_1_address", "wallet" : "pool_1_wallet", "password" : "x", "cryptonight_type" : "haven"},
   {"pool" : "pool_2_address", "wallet" : "pool_2_wallet", "password" : "x", "cryptonight_type" : "normalv4"},
   {"pool" : "pool_3_address", "wallet" : "pool_3_wallet", "password" : "x", "cryptonight_type" : "heavy"},
   {"pool" : "pool_4_address", "wallet" : "pool_4_wallet", "password" : "x", "cryptonight_type" : "fast"}
]
}

Set the algo used on the pool with the "cryptonight_type" parameter.
Set the --usealgoswitching parameter in start.bat

If needed, miner will re-init with the pool algo before switching to the pool.
For example if you are mining on pool_1 using haven algo, and you manually switch to the next pool, miner will re-init with normalv4 algo before connecting to pool_2.
Also if there are connection errors to pool_1, and miner automatically switches to the next pool, if the algos of pools aren't the same, miner will re-init with the defined cryptonight_type for pool_2.

IMPORTANT: Do not set 'cryptonight_type' parameter for pools if you are using a proxy for coin switching, or a pool with algo switching capabilities! (example Monero Ocean)



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
START.BAT

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to access GUI HTTP statistics page?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First you must enable API, by using the --apienable parameter in start.bat
Set your rig (computer) name with --apirigname myrigname also in start.bat

After you have started the miner, you can access the stats page in your browser :
http://127.0.0.1:21555/stats

There are also three other parameters that can help you to restart miner, reboot or shutdown your machine remotely :

--apirigrestarturl
This should be a unique string, which accessed in browser results in a computer restart. Miner needs to have admin privileges.

--apirigshutdownurl
This should be a unique string, which accessed in browser results in a computer shutdown. Miner needs to have admin privileges.

--apiminerrestarturl
This should be a unique string, which accessed in browser restart SRBMiner.



Example start.bat:
SRBMiner-CN.exe --config Config\config-normalv4.txt --pools Pools\pools-normalv4.txt --apienable --apirigrestarturl 12345fff --apirigshutdownurl 54321fff --apiminerrestarturl restart_my_srb

Visiting this url restarts your machine:
http://127.0.0.1:21555/12345fff

Visiting this url turns off your machine:
http://127.0.0.1:21555/54321fff

Visiting this url restarts SRBMiner:
http://127.0.0.1:21555/restart_my_srb


Of course if you are going to 'open' this HTTP interface to the world, you better use complex urls so nobody can guess them easilly and turn off your rig Smiley



To setup your video cards in cmd line :

These settings override the settings in config.txt, so you can't use both/mixed styles.
First list devices (--listdevices or --listdevicesreordered if you are going to use --gpureorder), then you know the GPU id's and can set them up easy.

Parameters:

--ccryptonighttype value (algo to use)
--cgpuid value (gpu id, comma separated values, use --listdevices to see available)
--cgpuintensity value (gpu intensity, comma separated values)
--cgputhreads value (number of gpu threads, comma separated values)
--cgpuworksize value (gpu worksize, comma separated values)
--cgpufragments value(can be 0,1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128, comma separated values)
--cgpuheavymode value (mode for heavy algos (1, 2, 3), comma separated values)
--cgputhreaddelay value (delay to maintain between same gpu threads, 1 - 1000, comma separated values)
--cgputargettemperature value (gpu temperature, comma separated values)
--cgputargetfanspeed value (gpu fan speed in RPM, comma separated values)
--cgpuofftemperature value (gpu turn off temperature, comma separated values)
--cgpuadltype value (gpu adl to use (1 or 2), comma separated values)
--cgpuoldmode value (old kernel creation mode - true or false, comma separated values)
--cgputweakprofile value(number from 0-10, where 0 means don't use tweaking)



To setup your main pool in cmd line :

If set here, this will be the MAIN pool, you can also add more pools in pools.txt config file.

Parameters:

--cworker value (worker name or rig id - pool must support it)
--cpool url:port (pool address:port without stratum prefix)
--cwallet address (user wallet address)
--cpassword value (pool password)
--ctls value (use SSL/TLS, true or false)
--cnicehash value (force nicehash, true or false)
--cjobtimeout value (number in seconds, if no job is received for this period, miner will reconnect to the pool)
--cmaxdifficulty value (number, if pool difficulty is above this value miner will reconnect to the pool)
--ckeepalive value (true or false, not every pool supports this)


Examples:

Use all GPU's with auto settings, and mine monero on nanopool :
Code:
SRBMiner-CN.exe --ccryptonighttype normalv4 --cpool xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14444 --cwallet 4A5hJyu2FvuM2azexYssHW2odrNCNWVqLLmzCowrA57xGJLNufXfzVgcMpAy3YWpzZSAPALhVH4Ed7xo6RZYyw2bUtbm12g.donation

Use 1 GPU with id 0 , intensity 120, 2 threads on algo cryptonight r on nanopool:
Code:
SRBMiner-CN.exe --ccryptonighttype normalv4 --cgpuid 0 --cgpuintensity 112 --cgpuworksize 16 --cgputhreads 2 --cpool xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14444 --cwallet 4A5hJyu2FvuM2azexYssHW2odrNCNWVqLLmzCowrA57xGJLNufXfzVgcMpAy3YWpzZSAPALhVH4Ed7xo6RZYyw2bUtbm12g.donation

ALGO SWITCHING MODE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are 2 types of algo switching supported :

Proxy or pool controlled

This means the mining pool or proxy (software between your miner and the pool) decides what algo should be mined.
For example Monero Ocean pools support auto algo switching based on profitability. You can read everything about it on their FAQ page.

You can also use software which allows you to change the mining algorithm with a simple mouse click. One example is Hesido's Cryptonote Proxy tool.


Manually controlled

In this mode the user sets the algorithm (cryptonight_type) for every pool he has in pools.txt.
When manually changing pools (by pressing 'o' or 'p'), miner will automatically re-init with the algo he set in pools.txt for that particular pool.
This also means you can set failover pools using any of the supported algorithms.


To use the algo switching mode (--usealgoswitching parameter in .bat) with pool controlled method the pool must support the XMRig Proxy Stratum protocol extensions(https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-proxy/blob/master/doc/STRATUM_EXT.md)


Steps that are common for both switching types:

1.] You can edit the file 'algos.txt', which contains entries for every algo you want the pool to send you jobs for (if using pool controlled switching).
If you are using the manually controlled algo switching, setting up this file is important because of the various configurations that every algo has.
The 'hashrate' parameter in this case isn't used.

You need to edit the 'hashrate' value if using pool controlled switching, and 'startup_script' if you are going to use it. (you can read what it is for under this text)
Also if you want, you can fully customize configs for every algo. You can find them in the 'Config' folder.


Short explanation of parameters in algos.txt:

+ "config" expects a filename to a config file where you set up everything for a specific algo (config-normalv4.txt is for CNV4 as you can guess).
So on every new algo switch SRBMiner will initialize settings specific for that algo.

+ "hashrate" is a parameter where you should write the total hashrate of your rig (in H/S) for that specific algo (you can easily find it out by running a benchmark for example).
This field is used by the pool in calculating what is the most profitable algo for you to mine.

+ "startup_script" can be used to run a script (batch file) before miner starts.
You can for example set clocks, voltages, etc. specific to that algo

You can easily benchmark the hashrates by running benchmark-algos.bat or by typing this into a command prompt:

Code:
SRBMiner-CN.exe --benchmarkalgos

Notice: Tweaking parameters can not be used in benchmarking mode!

This process will take a few minutes, and when finished it will create a file benchmark_results.txt with the hashrate for every algo you benchmarked.
Now you need to take and copy-paste those values into algos.txt under the right algorithm section.
The benchmarking procedure should be used only if using pool controlled algo switching.


2.] There is a 'pools-algoswitch.txt' file where i predefined a few pools on Monero Ocean (algo switching pool), where i put my donation address as an example wallet,
so you should change this wallett address to your own.

If you are using the manually controlled pool switching, then you would define your own pools here.
You just need to add one new parameter (cryptonight_type) to each pool entry.

Here is an example how 'pools-algoswitch.txt' could look like:

{
"pools" :
[
{"pool" : "pool_1_address", "wallet" : "pool_1_wallet", "password" : "x", "cryptonight_type" : "haven"},
{"pool" : "pool_2_address", "wallet" : "pool_2_wallet", "password" : "x", "cryptonight_type" : "normalv4"},
{"pool" : "pool_3_address", "wallet" : "pool_3_wallet", "password" : "x", "cryptonight_type" : "heavy"},
{"pool" : "pool_4_address", "wallet" : "pool_4_wallet", "password" : "x", "cryptonight_type" : "fast"}
]
}

Now that you have algos.txt and pools-algoswitch.txt set up, start the miner by running start-algo-switching.bat

If you are using the pool controlled algo switching, DON'T set cryptonight_type for that pool, because you could get into an endless loop of algo switching Smiley

NOTICE:
If 'tweak_profile' is not specified it defaults to 0 after algo switch, so make sure you set it in every config file where you want to use it!

TIPS:

There are two algo switching modes available : with or without miner restart.

The 'miner restart' mode is recommended for Vega video cards, because they tend to drop mining speed on algo switching sometimes.
Using the 'miner restart mode' with the --resetvega parameter you are ensuring always maximum mining speeds.

Example:

Code:
SRBMiner-CN.exe --config Config\config-normalv4.txt --pools pools-algoswitch.txt --usealgoswitching --resetmineronalgoswitch --resetvega

SRB-RESTARTER
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SRB-Restarter is a tool that monitors the main SRBMiner process, and if it's not running for some reason (like an app crash for example), it will run the script you specify (restart miner).

Only 3 parameters :

--interval value_in_seconds [def. is 10]
Specifies how often to check is the SRBMiner process running

--instance number
Use it if you run multiple SRBMiner instances on the same machine, example is below
You must use the following file naming :
SRBMiner-CN-n.exe where n is the instance number

--run filename [name of .bat file to run]
Name of .bat you want to run if SRBMiner process in not running


Note:
Miner is considered 'not running' after 2 checks!

Examples:

1.
SRB-Restarter.exe
[This will set interval to 10 seconds, and start.bat if SRBMiner process is not running. It will monitor for a process named SRBMiner-CN.exe]

2.
SRB-Restarter.exe --interval 5 --run turtle-coin.bat
[This will set interval to 5 seconds and run turtle-coin.bat if SRBMiner process is not running. It will monitor for a process named SRBMiner-CN.exe]

3.
SRB-Restarter.exe --interval 30 --run start-heavy.bat --instance 1
[This will set interval to 30 seconds and run start-heavy.bat if SRBMiner process is not running. It will monitor for a process named SRBMiner-CN-1.exe]
