Mining NEOXA on HiveOS with 3GB cards

The key to the success in mining NEOXA on HiveOS is knowing pool parameters that can be stratum+tcp://minenice.newpool.pw:1120, for example:

Handling messages from Binance Websocket streams

User Data Stream

To subscribe I query listen key:

POST /api/v3/userDataStream

connect to websocket wss://stream.binance.com:9443/stream and send the listen key with the following message :

{
    "id": 1,
    "method": "SUBSCRIBE",
    "params": [
        "<my listen key>"
    ]
}

When Binance accepts the subscription it sends:

{
    "id": 1,
    "result": null
}

Using std::future as a coroutine in C++20

In C++20 it is possible to do this:

std::future<int> compute(as_coroutine) {
  int a = co_await std::async([] { return 6; });
  int b = co_await std::async([] { return 7; });
  co_return a * b;
}
 
std::future<void> fail(as_coroutine) {
  throw std::runtime_error("bleah");
  co_return;
}
 
int main() {
  std::cout << compute({}).get() << '\n';
 
  try {
    fail({}).get();
  } catch (const std::runtime_error &e) {
    std::cout << "error: " << e.what() << '\n';
  }
}

Switching to a different thread with async/await in C#

The code below switches to a different thread when the execution of Main() is resumed at line 11:

internal class Program
{
    static async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            HttpClient client = new HttpClient();

            Console.WriteLine($"Thread: {Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId}");
                
            HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync("https://developernote.com/");

            Console.WriteLine($"Thread: {Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId}");

            response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

            string responseBody = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

            Console.WriteLine($"Thread: {Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId}");

            Console.WriteLine(responseBody);
        }
        catch (HttpRequestException e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nException Caught!");

            Console.WriteLine($"Thread: {Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId}");

            Console.WriteLine($"Message: {e.Message}");
        }
    }

Building QT 6.3.0 for Windows with OpenSSL and C++20

Now QT doesn’t like backslashes in configure.bat parameters. Also I updated vcvarsall.bat path and added -c++std c++20: and tried static build with -static option:

Dramatically annoying crash at std::thread and std::mutex destructors on Android

It is a long story that started here about 2 years ago. My first understanding was that it is a QT bug that was not fixed within this 2 years, of course (as a rule or usually), but a couple weeks ago I noticed that a similar crash happens on Samsung Galaxy devices:
