2 copies of ccminer_nanashi get launched when mining on a single card #732

I updated to 1.7.5.5 today and since the update Lyra2Rev2 has been spawning 2 copies of ccminer_nanashi instead of just 1. I get no performance benefit from this, and my client only realizes half the profitability of the algorithm because of it. I do, however, see the correct (overall) hash rate reflected on the website. This may not be a bug, but it's certainly a strange change that wasn't mentioned in the patch notes. I am using a GTX 1080 to mine, if that matters.

I retract half my issue. I do actually see about a 10-20% performance gain from two miners instead of one. Also, when I push 'stop', CCminer_nanashi continues to mine, and restarts if I kill the process, even though I am not idle and have pushed the 'stop' button.

Go to Settings / Advanced. Set "Miner Start Delay" to 2000 and "Switch Minimum Fixed" to 900. Then Save settings, close NiceHash Miner and reboot your PC. Try starting NHM once again (to make sure that Lyra2REv2 will be started, enable only Lyra2REv2 under Benchmark / Algorithms).

Good call. Increasing Miner Restart Delay (there is no Miner Start Delay) to 2000 from 500 (the default, I think; I don't remember changing it) fixed the issue.
