Can confirm the sighting of the LUX 4.0.1.1 being used by the pools.
When will this be released to the public?

sgminer -k phi -o stratum+tcp://pool.bsod.pw:2016 -w 256 -I 21 -u xxxxxxxxxxx.xxxx -p c=LIZ --gpu-platform 1


Which parameters do I need to make this algo work with AMD, I have SGMiner 5.6.1-elbandi as a miner.  I am lost.

If you have that issue with beta release try to use alpha instead https://github.com/216k155/lux/releases

Your main issue is not the c=LIZ (which is just going to be ignored by the pool), but the wrong port. Where did you get the 2016 port from? Luxcoin on BSOD is 6667.

I was using the alpha before that and didn't have this problem. Then switched to beta and the wallet started crashing on exit. I've just tried switching back to alpha (replaced the 4 files from the archive) and now alpha is crashing too.
Could you tell me where the wallet saves its settings exactly? When I first start the wallet it asks me where to store the blockchain and the wallet file. I chose the same folder where lux-qt.exe is (instead of the default appdata folder), and this choice seems to be saved somewhere else on the computer, cause even when I delete everything from the wallet folder and copy freshly downloaded wallet executables back to this folder — the new wallet doesn't ask me where to save the blockchain anymore, it just saves it wherever I chose in the previous wallet. Which means that this choice is saved somewhere else on the PC. But where?

I don't have the Lux folder in Roaming. When you first start the Lux wallet it asks you where to save the blockchain and wallet files. By default it's the Roaming folder, but I'm not using it, I usually choose the same folder where qt is (cause it seems simpler to me to manage the files this way when updating/backuping/moving wallets/etc). But here's the thing. When I started using 4.0.0 it asked me this question on the first start, and I chose the same folder where qt is. When I decided to update to 4.0.1 (deleting all the files except the wallet.dat from the qt-wallet folder) it didn't ask me that question anymore, it just started to download the new blockchain into the same folder (which is d:\wallets\lux in my case). How did it know where to download the blockchain to this time? It looks like qt-wallet saves the user choice (folder where to store blockchain/wallet.dat/lux.conf/etc) somewhere else on the computer, the windows registry maybe? I just want to know where exactly.

Do you have your 5 Lux in your wallet?

Here is my .bat file
sgminer.exe  -d 0,1,2 --algorithm phi -g 2 --gpu-platform 0 --intensity 18 --worksize 128 --temp-target 62 -o stratum+tcp://pool.bsod.pw:6667 -u your wallet -p c=LUX -L log_3.txt
