Mining stops when 2nd node is down

Question

Setup: two nodes on the same host
Chain params: requires peers is false and mining diversity is 0.
    "mining-diversity" : 0.00000000,
    "mining-requires-peers" : false,

I confirmed the other node appears on the peer info list of each node and both nodes have permissions to mine. When both nodes are running, i see blocks being mined at the rate of one every 15 seconds. When i stop one of the nodes (say the 2nd node), i see the 1st node stops mining. I see the following messages in the log file.

Thank you for reporting this.

We've already fixed it and the fix will appear in alpha 23.

In the meantime you can set small non-zero value to mining-diversity:

mining-diversity = 0.000001
