While attempting to convert my older Maxwell (2GB) rig from zcash to btg, i’m getting a segfault with miniZ:

Hi,
thank you for leaving feedback.
I is a bit late here but could you try the following and report back? We’ll try to get you and answer asap.
1. Run nvidia-smi.
2. Could you run miniZ with each que GPU separately? Or, at least separately for the GTX 750 Ti, and GTX 960?
./miniZ --url [email protected]:8866 --cuda-devices 0then
./miniZ --url [email protected]:8866 --cuda-devices 2and report if you get the same error?
Although nvidia-ml doesn’t seem to be your main problem, it still needs to be solved.
Thank you. Cheers.
I got the same error, but perhaps is related to internet connection ?
All the streams in others computers stoped when recibe this error in the mining machine.
All connected in the same network.
Hi Barto,
from what you describe, it seems that the connection to the internet (or the pool) was lost.
Was this solved? If not, could you paste here the error log?
Thanks.
Cheers
My 3060TI getting only 49mh on MINIZ miner. It used to get 60mh when i used other miners. The driver i am using is 470.05 so that i can get extra mh on my V1 3060.
The oc settings are same as it was before. How can i get 60mh again with my 3060TI?
I have a V1 nerf 3060 but my pcie x16 slot is broke
what is the best way to get maximum amount of hashrarte while running it in riser?
Sorry for posting here but I did’nt find the box to add new request.In a console on Linux, I ran : ./miniZ -cd 0 -u t1fTbtisXs2kcDphM7yKDK5TKXFgt5rggRS.xafo1 -l eu-flux.fluxpools.net –port=7011 -p minpayout=80 –par=125,4 –pers=ZelProofI have obtained : [ERROR ] GPU[0] miniZ requires at least 2406MB to run, but only has 1501MB.[WARNING] miniZ<125,4>[-1:0:00.0:1501]: Not selecting GPU#0[0] GeForce GT 640Please help me
Hi THOMAS,
To mine flux you need a GPU that has more than ~2.5MB of available memory.
Geforce GT640 is only 2GB. It seems that you may be using the GPU for display so there is only ~1.5MB of available memory. With your GPU you will be able to mine AION.
Cheers
Hi, I want to set the fan speed to 100 on all my rigs. Iam using Awesome miner software which have all miner include miniz mineri when i use other miner i set –fan 100 and fan run 1t 100% but ther are no option to in miniz miner to do it or may be i dont know, how to do it in miniz miner?
Hi Olavsen,
There is no way to do it at the moment.
Also, it will not be implemented in the next release.
But we’ll see what we can do for other future release.
Cheers

Hi Ashburry,
To mine with your 3060 Ti you will need to use the latest miniZ version (at least v1.8y3).
Try the beta version v1.8y4rc2. You can download it here.
thank you for using miniZ.
Cheers

No more no progress
Hi PARTS, do you have enough memory available for those 13 GPUs? You can try to increase the pagefile and see if it helps. Also, can you run the miniZ with less GPUs? This may help understand what is happening.
Thank you for the feedback.
Cheers
Bonjour, j’ai le même problème mais j’ai que une 2080 ti. Je lance miniZ et ça écrit sélection gpu et aucun progrès non plus
Hi Thib,
Sorry for taking a bit to answer.
This seems to be an error with nvml dll file.
You can try update the NVIDIA driver and check if this resolves the issue.
Let us know if this helps.
Cheers
ps: We’ll work on a solution for this issue, in the next version.
Hi there!
Is there a ‘proper’ API available? Preferrably Ccminer compatible 🙂
Thanks
UG
Hi UselessGuru,
Thanks for your message. We have some kind of “standard” json api, which is fully compatible with the EWBF miner.
Example (Linux):
curl --silent rig2:20000 -X '{"id":"0", "method":"getstat"}'returns:

Heya, I was trying to access the api and just querying the base address/port returns the html text, not a json or json-like output. Is there another endpoint I should be using?
Nevermind, got it working now.
Hi Bathmat,
great that you managed to get it working.
Let us know it you need anything else.
Cheers
Thank you!
Could you give me an example for PowerShell (I am a Windows guy)?
I googled to no avail…
Hi UselessGuru,
you can try this PowerShell script
$server = "localhost"
$port = 20000
$Message = '{"id":"0", "method":"getstat"}'
$Client = $Null
$Client = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient $server, $port
$Writer = New-Object System.IO.StreamWriter $Client.GetStream()
$Reader = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader $Client.GetStream()
$client.SendTimeout = 10000
$client.ReceiveTimeout = 10000
$Writer.AutoFlush = $true
$Writer.WriteLine($Message)
$Request = $Reader.ReadLine()
$Data = $Request | ConvertFrom-Json
Write-Host $Data
Write-Host $Data.result
Returns:
@{id=0; method=getstat; error=; start_time=1546129190; current_server=zhash.eu.nicehash.com:3369; server_latency=73.8; available_servers=-2; server_status=1; result=System.Object[]}@{gpuid=0; cudaid=0; busid=busid; name=GeForce GTX 1060 3GB; gpu_status=2; solver=-1; temperature=71; gpu_fan_speed=43; gpu_power_usage=117.2; gpu_clock_core_max=1771; gpu_clock_memory=3802; speed_sps=33.1; accepted_shares=66; rejected_shares=1; start_time=1546129190}
Cheers
Thank you – works like a charm!
I’ve added you miner to MultiPoolMiner (www.multipoolminer.io)
Thanks! That is great.
Good luck with your nice project!
Keep getting cuda devices not found error. What am I doing wrong:
Here is a copy of my .sh file. I am running Bionic Beaver Ubuntu:
!bin/bash
./miniZ –url [email protected]:4040 –log –gpu-line 0 1 2 3 4
Hi Mathew,
it seems you are missing the option that is required to specify the devices
-cdor--cuda-devices(before the device(s) number). Try the following:!bin/bash./miniZ --url [email protected]:4040 --log --gpu-line -cd 0 1 2 3 4
For other usage information and examples check https://miniz.ch/usage/
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers
Thank you, that fixed the original problem, awesome, but now the miner fires up and begins to mine but then hangs/freezes/crashes whatever term you prefer and I have to kill power and restart.
Using assorted nvidia cards, eleven of them, 1070, 1070ti and 1080. Updated drivers to 410 cuda version 10.0
Thanks again. Any help greatly appreciated!
Matteo
Hi Matteo,
we are sorry about this.
On a first approach this may be related with the OC settings of the cards, if you did some OC. If so, do you have this issue with stock settings too?
If the previous does not apply, could you let us know if the problem also exists with v1.0h? Maybe this can help us figure out what’s going on.
Cheers
Hello miniZ,
Yes, I run an OC script before I start the miner, should I not do that?
I am now traveling for the week but feel free to communicate any other ideas. I really like your miniZ Miner from what I can see and am excited to give it a try.
Thank you for your help, greatly appreciated
Okay, so I tried without running the OC script and it still froze up.
Any other thoughts on what could be causing the problem?
Thank You for any help, greatly appreciated….
Hi Matthew,
Thank you for the feedback!
We’ve just released a new miniZ version v1.0j.
Try this new version, and let us know how did it go.
Try also cuda 8.0 variant.
Cheers
This is just insane why this miner continues to freeze.
Can we please communicate via email?
Hi Matthew,
we are sorry about the persistent freeze.
We have just contacted you.
Cheers
Im having this issue as well with the newest bata miniz and my 3060 ….
hi,
i got error on running miniz miner

Hi Leo,
maybe you need to update the NVIDIA driver.
Which miniZ and Cuda version are you using? And which OS and NVIDIA driver version?
Could you paste here the output of nvidia-smi?
Cheers
Hi
the version of miniz : miniZ_v1.2m_cuda10_win-x64

Please reply my on my email. i dont get any notification here
thanks.
Hi Leo,
we have just sent you an email.
Thanks for reaching us and reporting the information.
For your driver (388.59) you must use miniZ Cuda 8 version. Alternatively, to be able to use Cuda 10 version, you need to update your driver to the latest version (>=418 recommended).
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers
Telemetry doesn’t work.
My command line is:
miniZ.exe –oc2 –par=192_7 –pers auto -a 192.168.1.201:42000 –server [Server] –port [Port] –user [User] –pass [Password]
Miner works like charm, but when I open browser (Google Chrome) and type “192.168.1.201:42000” or “http://localhost:42000”, none of those works.
Chrome only shows “This site can’t be reached” message after try to Connecting for a while.
Hi MiningTaken,
You are right,
-ais not working as documented. We will fix this for the next version.Try
-a 42000or--telemetry 192.168.1.201:42000(or--telemetry 42000)Cheers
hi my miniz work well but i hav note any accept share from suprnova pool :(((
Hi hoomanleo,
miniZ should work very well with Suprnova. It could be that, in your case, the algo or the personalisation string are note well specified.
Could you post here your command line?
Cheers
miniZ.exe –url [email protected]:8866 –log –extra
(edited) Hi hoomanleo,
Thanks for providing your command line.
We have just tested your command line:
miniZ.exe --url [email protected]:8866 --log --extraand it works! (Just in case, check for the double dash
--instead of-)Let us know if you manage to solve the issue.
Cheers,
miniZ
hi the problem solved but after 1 day mining or less the mining stop and get this error
CCMINER HAS STOPED WORKING
aproblem caused the program to stop working correctly
windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available
ccminer is incorrect miniz.exe has stopped working
and the last command line is warning parse response failed
can i use task scheduler for this error?
Hi hoomaleo,
This could be related to your OCs, but could you provide the console output (or the logfile) just before the crash?
Try also the new miniZ v1.3n3 that has a few fixes and should be more stable.
Let us know if this helped.
Cheers
hi i use miniz ver 1.3n4 but i have no share with green star
Hi hoomanleo,
could you provide here some details such as:
1. your command line,
2. the beginning of console output, including when the miner detects GPUs. (Or logfile output).
Thank you!
Cheers
hi
miniZ.exe –url [email protected]:8866 –log –extra
this command line already work well whit ver 1.3n3
but from yesterday till now this version and version 1.3n4 dos not have share imean green star near fan speed
aftre header listing show up after 5 minutes mining start but without green star our share
and after 20 min say with red color can not connect to any mining pool
Hi hoomanleo,
we’ve tested your line and we had good shares. You seem to be unable to connect to suprnova. This may be something temporary. Are you still experiencing this? If so, we suggest you to try another pool and see if it persists.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers
i test with funakooshi miner and it work well
but miniz!!!!!!! 2 weeks works good and then error cannot connect to any mininig pool :(((
Hi hoomanleo,
we have just answered to your other messages.
It seems that it lost connection to suprnova and could not reconnect again. Does it work if you restart miniZ?
Cheers
no i restart miniz many times and chek everything but dos not work

Hi hoomanleo,
we are sorry about this. It looks like it lost connection to the mining pool and could not reconnect again.
If you define a different pool, or if you define a second mining pool, does the problem persist?
You can define a second pool like this:
miniZ.exe --url [email protected]:8866 --url [email protected]:PortNumber --log --extraCould you confirm which miniZ version you are using? (You can also check this by running miniZ.exe –version)
Thanks.
Cheers
i use 3 different pool and non of them dosnot work
and i already use ver1.2m ver 1.3n3 ver 1.3n4
but 2 weeks earlier my rigs work well with ver 1.3n.3
suddenly every rigs getting error that cannot connect to any pool
tnx for your replying
Hi hoomanleo,
at the moment we do not fully understand the problem you are experiencing.
It seems to be related to poor network connectivity, but we will investigate further and we will try to reproduce some scenarios.
Cheers
hi
when i push telemetry on GUI launcher chrome can not open page
and say localhost refused to connect.
Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
i disable fire wall already and nothimg change
maybe this is my connection problem????????
Hi hoomanleo,
It looks like that telemetry could not bind the 20000 port.
You can run resmon command on Windows, to check if the port is being used.
Go to tab : “Network”->”Listening Ports”, and check which process is using 20000 port, in “Port” column.
You can follow the instructions on this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4767892.msg50204311#msg50204311
Let us know if this helped.
Cheers
This miner works fine but terminates every 1-2 hours. I wonder if that’s when it mines for fee. There appears to be no logfile? NV drivers 419.17 cuda 10 win10.
Hi Brian997,
we have improved stability and these problems should be solved in the next version (will be out very soon).
Regarding the logfile, if you run miniZ with
--log, which creates a miniZ.log file, does it work?Cheers
I ran with –log below is output after 26 minutes it crashed. The script forces restart, but the ramping up time is a little slow. The miner is 1-2% faster than gminer, but it crashes and ramps up to peak slower than gminer. I have been using same overclaock settings for about 6 months. FYI below…pasted log at time of crash.

Hi brian997,
Thanks for the feedback and for reporting the errors.
The ramp up you refer may be an artifact of the mean. We use a 3 minute exponential moving average for “instant” calculations to remove noise, providing a value easy to read.
By examining the log file, it looks like some memory addresses are messed up due to the overclock settings. To some extent the miner can try to recover and eventually produce a bad share instead of crashing. We have just released a new version of miniZ, that will try harder to deal with your issues, but there are no guarantees 🙂
Keep in mind that different miners require different overclock settings for best efficiency. You can check our suggested overclock for best efficiency on our website https://miniz.ch/1927-2/. If you are using MSI Afterburner on Windows, remember to divide our suggested memory overclock settings by a factor of two.
Also be try the
--oc1/--oc2for best performance.Cheers,
miniZ
Hi Dev,
I set “–telemetry 0.0.0.0:42000” and it only works at the rig’s local computer.
What should I put to “–telemetry” if I want to monitor it from other computer in the same LAN ?
I had tried “–telemetry 192.168.1.201:42000”, but it doesn’t work out.
Thank you.
Hi MiningTaken,
At the moment miniZ always binds the telemetry to 0.0.0.0, so there is no need to add your ip address.
Something like –telemetry 42000 would work.
If you can connect locally but not from other computer on the same LAN it may be due firewall settings… did you check this?
Cheers
Again having trouble starting miner on 3 gb cards … 3n5 version,3n3 version all the same …
All startet after a restart of mining OS …
Hi Darko,
Thanks for reporting this.
It seems that your OS is using more memory on the GPUs.
Our 3GB implementation is a bit tight so if there are other applications running on the card (like vga adapter, for example) it may not fit.
We’ll see what we can do about it.
Cheers
I’m on mmpos, on hive it started ok
Must admitt that gminer starts with no problems …
Can mini-z just exit if api port is in use?
Mini-z just do nothing on linux platform.
Hi P,
On Linux, when the port is in use, miniZ gives a warning and moves to the next availabe port. Are you using Linux?
Could you clarify “just do nothing”? Do you mean that miniZ does not start mining?
Could you paste here your command line?
Could you run
./miniz -ciand paste here the output?Thanks.
Cheers
Is there any way to detect mining errors and auto restart miner? miniZ isn’t as stable as it should be
esolve’ line 5880;[Bc;b49c65 6 ‘the launch timed out and was terminated’ in func ‘eq_64B4a
Hi Max,
this error seems to be related to your OC settings.
If this doesn’t happen too often you can restart the miner by defining a loop.
Are you using Windows OS? You can create a bat file like this (do not forget to customize your wallet address, worker name, server and port number):
:loopminiZ.exe [email protected]:port --log --extra
timeout /t 5
goto loop
Cheers
I’ve tried this but it does not restart when this error happens.
OS settings are exactly the same on different computers, but I get error only on one of them.
Hi Max,
if the program cannot exit, the nvidia driver must have crashed.
We suggest that you try to adjust the OC settings for that computer, to check if still crashes. Different computers (different power supply, different motherboard…) may require some OC settings adjustment.
Let us know if adjusting the OCs helps.
Cheers
Every time I go to run the batch file it instantly closes. I added a pause in there and it shows it’s not recognizing the GPUs even though all my other miners do.
It says “0 CUDA devices found” but my other software recognizes them.
Hi Jay,
It looks like the NVIDIA driver that you are using is not compatible with the miniZ CUDA version you are using.
Did you try both miniZ Cuda 8 and miniZ Cuda 10?
Which NVIDIA driver version are you using? And which GPUs?
Cheers
So CUDA 8 is recognizing the GPUs but I instantly get an error that I have a GPU “out of memory”
Hi Jay,
Could you paste here your command line?
What are you mining and whith which GPUs?
Cheers
I am using 1060s and 1070s. I got miniz to work on my other miner cannot get it to work on this one though.
Hi Jay,
it is likely that one of your 1060 3GB (?) does not have enough memory available to mine. What are you mining? What OS are you using?
Could you paste here your command line?
Cheers
I’m having trouble mining Beam on Leaf pool, they want an email address to send notifications if the miner goes down. The format is “beam_address.worker/[email protected]” When I include that in the command line, it parses the server address incorrectly and includes “email.com” into the server address. Any way around this? I would like to be notified by the pool if the miner goes down.
Hi Jeff,
miniZ will not parse the url correctly because of the @ symbol. In this case you have to use the alternative syntax.
miniZ --server=ssl://beam-eu.leafpool.com:3333 --user=beam_address.worker/[email protected]It should work fine like this, let us know how it goes.
Cheers
Awesome, that worked. thank you.
Great! 🙂
I have a GTX 780 with 3072 MB of ram and miniz wont load the GPU, it loads the other 1050ti’s just fine. I used the command line to load one GPU at a time.
Hi Matt,
we will need to know what is the error miniZ is writing to the console output (or log file). Probably this is a memory problem but we need to know.
Could you paste here the error?
Cheers
Number of CUDA devices found: 3

Waiting for 0 seconds, press a key to continue …
Hi Matt,
it seems you are trying to run 150,5 algorithm, on Windows 10. The 3GB GPUs cannot run 150,5 on Windows 10.
It is possible on Windows 7, but you have to run with
--mode=3option.Windows does not allow miniZ to use all GPU memory. On Linux this limitation does not exist and miniZ will run at full speed.
Beam will introduce a few changes in the algo, we will try to look at this in the future. Maybe we can shrink it a bit more so that it can fit also on Windows 10. (No guarantees though).
Cheers
Hey , u wrote that at algo 192_7 GPUs 1063 worked , but it seems didnt. It wrote that needed 2.7 gb video by Windows.
Sorry just saw the previous comment, so i understand i have the same problem… Thanks a lot.
Hi Jarek,
no problem. Indeed 3GB is a bit tight for this algorithm and mining 192,7 is not possible on Windows 10 since it does not allow miniZ to use all GPU memory.
We will check it out and see if it is worth making this work.
Cheers
The first time using miniZ on ARWthe worker does now show on the pool, it appears to be hashing, but doesn’t show in the worker list on icemining.ca. If I reconnect after that, its fine (GMiner and others work fine on the first connection)
./miniZ –par 192,7 –pers ZcashPoW –server eu.icemining.ca –port 3890 –user WALLET.MINR-11
Any ideas?
actually please disregard, its working now
Every time i try using miniz on hiveos (150,50,3) after about a minute of hashing I get a very high rate of invalids. I’ve tried using OC settings and stock settings with the same results.
I’m using the latest version of miniz
Hi Terence,
Does this happen also after that? Or is it only at start up?
Also, could you let us know what is your GPU? And to which pool are you connecting?
Are you using the beta v1.5q4?
Thanks!
Cheers
It happens all the time. I have all NVIDIA with mixture of GTX and RTX.

Hi Terence,
thanks a lot for the information.
We think to have found the cause of this.
We are doing some further checking at the moment and will release a fix soon.
Cheers
Got the update and works good now.
Thanks
Hi, on my rigs (RTX 2070,RTX2080S) miniz show information about shares, speed and etc so slowly,(on beamv2)
I updated/back drivers nvidia 430-436 versions. Back to default clocks on cards, but it doesn’t help.
I mine on nicehash, with gminer for example everything working fine.
Used miniz 1.5q2-q6. Could you check?
Also, I see that CPU load is very high 99-100%
Hi Alex,
thank you for letting us know.
We’ll look into this. It may be slow because of CPU usage. Which miniZ version are you using?
Does this happen only with beamv2?
Cheers
Using last versions 1.5q2-q6. Right, Problems with miniz on BeamV2 algo.
I tested Zhash 144,5 and it working fine.
Hi Alex,
sorry for taking a bit longer than usual to respond.
Thank you for the information. We would like to share some information that another miner shared with us and might help the cpu high usage, in the case you are using the latest nvidia driver. When he went back to 430.86 it solved the cpu issue.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
I back old driver and now all working fine!
thanks for support! wish u best
Hi Alex,
Good that it worked for you.
Thanks for the feedback!
Cheers
Hi, I’m running a little bit of an unusual config. 24GB system memory, windows 10 running from USB key, no swap file.
You seem to be attempting to malloc 2GB RAM per GPU, which has a hidden requirement in windows that there be 2x the asked-for memory available. So your ~12GB actual usage balloons into slightly more than the amount of RAM I have, which means I can’t start.
I confirmed all this by limiting to 5 CUDA devices (works), and adding physical RAM (works).
Do you have a workaround? Either to make windows not do this, or to use slightly less RAM?

Hi john7797,
you have 6 1070 GPUs, 8GB each, for this you will need more memory that what you have at the moment. Depending on the algorithm you are using the miner needs to allocate 1.7-4.2 GB memory on each GPU, there is not much we can do about this. Additionally, Windows allocates a bit more for its functioning…we cannot do anything about this either. For windows you’ll need to increase your virtual memory, you have a tight fit there.
We can only suggest you to try to use Linux OS, since it is less demanding on memory. It will solve your problem.
We noticed that you want to mine Beam in Nicehash. It seems that you specified the algorithm as 150,5. However, Beam made a few changes to its algorithm, if you specify the algorithm you need to write
--par=150,5,3. If you do not specify the algorithm it should work too. You can always confirm this with miniZ, it shows the information in the console/logfile output. For Beam you should read: Algo: EQ[150,5,3].Cheers
It looks like miniZ_gui.exe (version 1.5r, Windows x64 Cuda 10) has Trojan:Win32/Tiggre!plock
How can this happen?
Hi Carl Zhou,
thanks for your message.
It is best to always confirm if the file SHA256 is the one indicated on the website. If the SHA256 is correct then miniZ_gui.exe should be fine. This is is a false positive, and only part of the engines detect it.
This kind of problem is annoying, but not new. In our case this is due to the function frombase64string that we use to encode our .ico images appearing on GUI. Also from the fact that there is someone/rule (always the same person/company) that keeps marking miniZ_gui as suspicious, as it can be seen in virustotal.com.
We are working on an alternative to that function so we will figure out a way to solve this soon. 🙂
To exclude a file from Defender (if this is your case), you need to open the Windows security window.
Then go to “Virus and threat protection settings” under the “Virus & threat protection” tab. And in “Exclusions” you can add or remove exclusions.
We hope this information is helpful to you.
Thanks for using miniZ.
Cheers
Hey guys, huge fan of your miner!
I have an issue mining the coin $EXCC. The coin is already a big deal with over $1,000,000 in revenue / day, and looks to be getting bigger. Problem is, apparently according to their team, since the coins is hybrid PoW and PoS, it can’t just be mined by any regular Equihash 144,5 miners, but needs to be coded specially – so supposedly LOL miner is the only one that will work with this coin.
Is there any way you could make miniZ mine this coin? Your miner is the FASTEST and hands down the BEST equihash miner there is….
Here’s a link to their website – https://excc.co
Thanks!
Hi Dovi,
thanks for reaching us and for the suggestion.
At the moment we are working on improvements for the current supported algorithms.
We had a look at it before and end up putting it aside. It was not obvious what we need to do to support EXCC (stratum, header size…), we did not find this information.
We’ll try again soon and see what we can do about it. 🙂
Cheers
你好。你解决了问题吗？
Hi HWND,
miniZ does not support EXCC mining.
We’ll have a look againg and see what we can do.
Cheers
hi guys! thank you for your work. two questions i’ve got:
1. when i access telemetry page, no colored gauge meters appears down the screen
2. not the subject of this teme, but if i’m here, why not. could you please flush STDOUT each time you print the log string on console, something like –boff as EWBF miner does: “–boff disable output buffering”
**i run latest miniZ_v1.5r_cuda10_linux-x64 on ubuntu server 16.04, watching telemetry with Google Chrome 78.0.3904.97 on ubuntu 16.04 workstation
Thank you so much, wish you luck and stay the best!!
Hi fvgenn,
thank you for your message, and for your preference!
On the next version miniZ will flush STDOUT every line.
Regarding telemetry, it would be great if you can use another browser. We tested it on falkon and firefox, and it works.
We will see if we can fix this in the future. Sorry but this has low priority at the moment 🙂
Happy mining!
Cheers
Hello.
I am running miniZ 1.5s with the Nicehash Miner v1.9.2.17
miniZ is the only miner I am running, there is no profit/algo switching. The algo is EQ 150,5,3
The miner keeps restarting (or crashing and re-opening) randomly. Sometimes it does this after just a few minutes (~3-5mins) and sometimes after ~20-30 minutes.
I can’t find any error messages/logs on windows Event viewer related to this problem.
All software and drivers are up to date.
Windows 10 Pro
i5-4670, 16gigs DDR3 mem
GTX 1080 on nvidia 441.08 drivers.
Any idea what is causing this or how to fix this?
Hi Sleobo,
Are you applying some OC to your GPUs?
From what you describe it looks that this might be related to OC settings, seems that is causing some instability.
If this is the case try to adjust them a bit and check if it gets better.
Let us know how it goes. 🙂
Thanks for using miniZ!
Cheers
I do run my cards OC’ed. But I’ve also tried this with stock clocks and even underclocked. Doesn’t matter, the behavior continues. Temps are ok (around 60C). I have tried PL between 60 and 100, no change.
I did download the 1.5s as a stand-alone and tried it. It doesn’t crash or restart so the problem must be with the Nicehash miner and not with miniZ.
Sorry to have bothered with this as the problem is somewhere else than miniZ, but I hope this small tidbit might help anyone else having similar problem.
Hi Sleobo,
It is no bother at all, as you wrote the information can be useful for someone else. 🙂
Also, it is definitely good to know that it is not a miniZ problem. Maybe a bug with miniZ integration into Nicehash miner.
Thanks a lot for the feedback and happy mining!
Cheers
Hi,
getting “segmentation fault (core dumped)” randomly, when starting MiniZ v1.5s on Ubuntu 19. When this occurs, I tried launching with one GPU without success. Only Reboot seems to fix this issue. I tried launching GMiner which works normally on such occurrence (never had this issue with any other miner). RIG has 9 GPUs, 1070s 1080s and 1070TIs. I even created 50GB SWAP, and tried different driver versions. What could be the issue?
Thanks
Hi The MIner,
could you paste here the program output just before this crash occurs?
Which algo are you mining?
Thanks!
Cheers
hi
I use miniz to mine beam and the program use 100% of cpu although should just use gpu.
os: win10 x64
gpu:nvidia 1070
driver:441.66
Hi Bahram,
thank you for your message.
Does this happen everytime you start the miner?
Does this happen when mining other algorithms?
Could you paste here the output of
miniZ.exe -ci?Cheers
Same thing happened to me when I updated drivers.
Roll back your driver to 441.41 until it’s patched.
Hi CryptoSifu,
thanks a lot for the information!
Cheers
MiniZ 1.5s keeps restarting on me.
Running x1 1070. Log doesn’t report any error. It just stops and restarts.
Happening about once every 10-15 mins.
I have —log enabled in command line.
Any ideas?
Hi Crypto Sifu,
could you paste here the program output a little bit before the restart occurs?
Which algo are you mining?
This might not be related but just in case: do you you OC your GPUs? If so does this also happens when no OCs are applied?
Thanks!
Cheers
I have setup a AION pool (private) but miniZ keeps crashing when connecting to the pool using this command: miniz.exe –user [wallet_addr].worker –server 192.168.x.x –port 3333 –log –extra –pers AION0PoW
any help?
Hi theislander,
try adding

Hi Audrius,
you can mine 144,5 algorithm using miniZ by downloading the miner from our Download page.
If you need further help with setting up and using miniZ you can check “Windows mining with miniZ step-by-step“.
Also, in the FAQ and Usage pages you can find additional information regarding miniZ usage.
However, the problem you are facing seems to be related to your user/wallet, it does not look like a correct wallet address.
We hope this helps and feel free to let us know if you need further help with miniZ miner. 🙂 … not with gminer 🙁
Cheers
Hola buenas noches, quiero aprender a configurar para minar Grimm ya descargue MiniZ GUI Launcher v1.5 no se como configurarlo
Hola Cristian Chasoy,
puedes ver el tutorial aquí. (en ingles)
Es un ejemplo para BTG pero puede adaptarlo para Grimm.
For example to mine Grimm/minar Grimm:
Si quieres minar en Ravepool – https://grimm.ravepool.com/
Server: grimm-us.ravepool.com Port: 3333
Si quieres minar en Sunpool – https://grimm.sunpool.top/
Server: grimm.sunpool.top Port: 3333 (or 3334)
Para más información, visite la página de instrucciones y FAQs (en ingles).
Si hace falta puede contactarnos.
Saludos

Hi, I have used MiniZ for about two weeks now, successfully, with no problems. Today, it cut off and now I am unable to even run my bat file (even though yesterday it worked fine). I have not changed or tinkered with anything, except restarting my computer a few times to see if it helps (it didn’t). any suggestions?
Thanks
Hi Crypto,
Thank you for contacting us, sorry for taking a bit longer to reply.
Also sorry about this.
Do you get to see the miniZ header ************ miniZ v1.5t3 ************ ?
Could you paste here your bat file? It looks that maybe something got broken with the file…
Thanks!
Cheers
Windows defender flagged miniz.exe as a virus. Need to go in defender and remove from quarantine and allow for the restore of the miniz.exe.. prob should do the same for the minizgui if you use it..

Hi Bluebird, and Crypto,
It is true that Windows Defender sometimes wrongly flags some software, in this case you need to allow it manually.
It is best to always confirm if the file SHA256 is the one indicated on the website. If the SHA256 is correct then miniZ should be fine. However, we will investigate this further.
Thank you for your contribute to the forum.

Hello-
Why is there high latency using Miniz in hiveos when submitting shares, using 192,7.. gminer has latency of 53ms, same website, same config miniz has a latency of 500-600ms.. resulting in stale shares. Miniz in the win10 environment (5 rigs) is 53ms to same website and config. All 4 rigs with hiveos report 500-600ms..
Hi Bluebird,
You may be using the latest miniZ version? We are taking care of this.
Do you also experience this issue with miniz v1.5t2?
Thank you for your feedback.
Cheers
hello, can we use miniZ with a personal block header and nonce, such as block header is 32 byte and nonce is 32 byte?
Hi yellow,
At the moment miniZ does not support that feature. But, it is something to think about in the future.
For which algo were you thinking of adding this? We do not see (yet) how we could implement this in the miner, command-line-wise. Do you have any ideas you care to share?
Thank you for the suggestion!
Cheers
For equihash. there are a lot of public chains choose equihash as pow algorithm, but a lot of them can’t change the input of equihash （they keep input same with zcash witch 140 bytes header with nonce）because a lot of miners only support this input，i found out that miniz is the fatest miner of equihash, so i expect miniz can support general input of equihash， it will be a great help for public chains to define their own block header
Hi yellow,
Thank you for your suggestions.
We have to think about this more carefully (we’ve been a bit busy with Beam’s fork).
It seems interesting 🙂 and we will see if this is doable in the near future.
Cheers
Running miniZ on my old pc just fine. I built a new pc running Windows 10, installed the newest nvidia drivers for my cards and whenever I try to start miniZ it is giving me the “The application was unable to start correctly” accompanied by an error code (0xc000007b). I have tried everything I can find on that error. installed .net framework, update windows, update drivers and still can’t get it to work. Any ideas?
Hi Magoo,
Did you install Windows 64 bits? miniZ requires the 64bit version.
Have you tried other miners? Do they work?
Cheers
Hello,
I do have windows 64bit pro version installed. I’m using gminer just fine but would like to use miniZ. Is there anything that could of not been installed on this fresh install of windows that might be causing miniZ to not run?
Hi Magoo,
“and whenever I try to start miniZ it is giving me the “The application was unable to start correctly” accompanied by an error code (0xc000007b). ”
The only error you get is what you mentioned? miniZ doesn’t print/log any information at all?
Maybe let’s start by asking you about the command line. Could you paste it here?
Together we must be able to find the issue 🙂
Cheers
Good news I got it to work. I installed
Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 from Microsoft and
Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2015 – 2019 from Microsoft
Plus I increased my windows virtual memory initial to match the 6 cards i’m using. Not sure which one of those items fixed it as I did them all at the same time but I’m happy now lol.
Hi Magoo,
Great that you managed to get it to work!
Thank you for the feedback. This information might be useful for others too. 🙂
Cheers
There is a bug in the new v1.6v3 when mining on Nicehash. The miner seems to alter the selected algorithm from “–par=144,5s” to “150,5,3” causing 100% rejected shares on Nicehash:
This is the commandline:
miniZ.exe –telemetry 33000 -cd 0 1 4 –server beamv3.eu.nicehash.com –port 3387 –user 3M73gP6x55C7nws3ie7UwCHpy5tDDVLwHN.GTX1660TIs –pass x –pers Beam-PoW –gpu-line –extra –latency –nocolor –par=144,5s
.. for some rigs it switches to “150,5,3” at the very beginning.
Hi rainbowminer,
We tested your command line and it is working well.
We have an idea about what can be happening: can you confirm that you wrote the ‘s’ in
--par=144,5s? It seems that you may have copied/wrote without the ‘s’.However, if we use
--par=144,5instead of--par=144,5swe have the same output as you have.You can also use
--par=beam3that may be more user friendly.Let us know if this helped.
Thank you for the feedback. We’ll try to make miniZ ‘smarter’ in the next version to help avoid this issues. 🙂
Cheers
ps: We saw your message @ bitcointalk forum, and replied there too.
miniZ v1.6v3:
“Algo equihash125 has closed with Exit Code: -1073741819 Attempting restart in 5 seconds…” error, after running several minutes with “–ocX” option.
Command line: MiniZ.exe –ocX –cleanjobs –par=125_4 –smart-pers –telemetry=42000 –latency –extra –server [Server] –port [Port] –user [User] –pass [Password]
FYI.: With “–oc2”, it runs smoothly.
Hi MiningTaken,
In stock settings usually
--ocXdoes ok. However, when we modify core/memory clocks it can happen that one (or more) of the kernels become unstable. Depends a bit on the settings. Sometimes it happens on one specific kernel (mode). Do you see this? Does it always exits on the same mode?If it persists try to adjust your OCs. Or, if you observe that it seems specific to one mode, then you can try and do it manually.
You can test a specific mode using
--mode. Ex.--mode 0, runs mode 0 on all GPUs.--oc2runs a specific mode (per GPU). It is good to know that that one is stable.In any case, we will have a closer look. Which GPU(s) are you using?
We are trying to improve ocX versatility.
Thanks for the feedback!
Cheers
I’m using v1.6v3 – I run Equihash 125_4. I’ve used previous versions and I’m fairly familiar with your miner. It’s the best I’ve used. However, this version –ocx causes the miner to close whereas the last version did not. I run 2x 1080ti and 1x 1080 with current drivers. I don’t get any codes and the system remains stable, the miner just stops and closes. Once I remove –ocx the miner runs like a champ.
I’d be happy to provide any further information if it’s needed. Just let me know specifics of what else I can provide.
Keep up the great work!
Hi AZ Ronin,
Thank you for your message.
We did not manage to reproduce this behavior.
It is odd that you do not get any error. We’ll investigate.
Could you paste here the start of the log (with the GPUs information)? Could you also paste the log when the miner closes?
We’re making some structural modifications so we expect this to be resolved in the next version.
Cheers
Hello, I’m using miniZ v.1.6v3_cuda10 with RTX 2070 super, Windows10. Mining Beam Coins (BeamHash III).
Why the software only boost the card until [email protected]? Getting 23.5 Sol/s. I know the card can go up to [email protected] on gaming, no manual OC.
Also if I increase the memory clock +650MHz, nothing changes, same result 23.5 Sol/s.
Temps 45C / 113F.
Nvidia drivers v.451.48.
Thank You,
Greetings.
Hi Paul,
miniZ does nothing to the GPUs clocks. It is the driver that manages core clock even when you make manual adjustments to the oc settings.
Possibly performance is limited by core clock, so an increase in memory clock may not help.
Be aware that GPU utilization during gaming is quite different from mining.
At the moment, the only thing we see that we could help is by working for better GPU optimization, by making miniZ better.
So, in the next version you may be able to see better results. 🙂
Cheers
Hi,
It looks like some times a [fee server] share is erroneously reported as a regular share (even when the –all-shares option is not selected).
Specifically it reports the last share found on the last connection to the [fee server] as belonging to the pool server when it is not, it is really a share found while connected to the fee server and not the pool.
This is very noticiable when solo mining.
Please fix on next version.
Many thanks!
Hi Miner,
You are right, this may happen ocasionally. The default output is 10 sec and the stars appear when a switch to the fee-pool, or user-pool, occur in those 10 sec.
We understand your issue, specially in solo mining.
We believe that we managed to fix this. It should be OK in the next version.
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Cheers

Hi Nathan,
Sadly miniZ does not support ZEC algorithm, usually referred as Equihash (without reference to parameters). ZEC usually is mined with asic miner as GPUs are not efficient in this case. This is why miniZ is indicating that you are not submitting good shares to the pool (hence the 0.00%).
miniZ is a Equihash Cuda miner that you can use with your NVIDIA GPUs, and supports most Equihash algorithm variants:
* 144,5 (Zhash)
* 125,4 (ZelHash)
* 150,5,3 (BeamHash II)
* 144,5s (BeamHash III)
* 150,5
* 192,7 (Equihash Heavy)
* 96,5
* 210,9
For example, Equihash 144,5 is appropriate to mine Bitcoin Gold (BTG), BitcoinZ (BTCZ), SnowGem (XSG), and a few other coins.
Hope this helps.
In any case, thank you for your preference. 🙂
Cheers
Thanks so much for the response. All the best!

GTX 970&1050TI
and my computer reboot …howa can i fix that
Hi jim,
We suspect that this is OC related. It looks like that the driver crashed.
If you applying OC to your GPUs you can try to adjust them a little to see if it solves the issue.
You may like to know that we are finalising a new version with improvements for equihash 150,5 algorithm. It should be out in about 24h. 🙂
Cheers
Hi, I’m getting the same error for my MSI 2080 Ti. Miner was working well for couple of days. I unplugged one of gpus and when tried to start mining again with one less, one of graphic cards occurred such error. I have reset OC and runned “stock” no OC setup. This didn’t help. Also Upgraded hive OS. It is working fine under ETH Phoenix miner on another board. Changed riser, cables etc. Can someone support, please?
Hi Jakub,

Hi Saba,
It looks like you are missing the nvidia library nvml.dll.
It could be misplaced, or during driver instalation the antivirus got rid of it.
You’ll need to find/download the file and add it to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\, or to miniZ folder (should work too).
You can try to reinstall the driver, possibly this would be enough to solve the issue.
Let us know if this helped.
Cheers

Hi Achillian,
For the Ampere architectures (RTX 30 series) you need to use Cuda 11.1 versions, and have installed:
* NVIDIA 455.23 driver or later, for version compiled with cuda 11.1 (Linux).
* NVIDIA 456.38 driver or later, for version compiled with cuda 11.1 (Windows).
Just in case: it seems that in some cases miniZ is not loading the best kernel (for Beam mining) so hashrate is lower than expected. If this happens try using
--mode=6. We will try to further optimise Beam for your GPU.Let us know this helped to solve the issue.
Thank you for using miniZ!
Cheers
Hi i keep getting a message cannot load device code on a 680gtx. just wondering if you may be able to help.
Hi Shannon Haslam,
miniZ is not compliled for _sm3X architectures (Kepler), so you will not be able to use it with your GTX680.
To include architectures below _sm35 we would need to make major modifications to the program, so that it would be able to run on those GPUs.
We believe that your GPU is sm30, could you please confirm this by running miniZ with -ci program?:
miniZ.exe -ci
Could you also tell us which algo where you trying to run?
Thank you for your feedback!
Cheers
I ran the script as you suggested and it is sm30.
Simple answer its not supported anymore due to its age. Fair enough. It suck when you have old hardware around that has no use anymore.
My wattage isn’t showing on the command prompt.
Its a GTX 980 and it was fine before but when i went to another miner and came back to this one it didn’t show up anymore.
Hi Cristian,
We suspect that it may be related to the driver, and a reboot may solve it.
Could you try this and let us know if it helped?
Thank you for using miniZ.
Cheers
Hello
When working with the –cleanjobs parameter, after launching and several shares in the working pool, it switches to the fee.server server for more than 10 minutes (after that it is deleted). Without this parameter, the transition to fee.server within 1% and return to the working pool.
thank you
Hi Andy,
Sorry for taking longer than ususal to reply.
--cleanjobsshould be used with care, not all pools support it. In fact most pools do not support this option.After the first job there are no more clean jobs. This can cause high number of stale shares, and pool may disconnect after a while.
We are not aware of any beam pool that support
--cleanjobs, so it is better not use this option 🙂Cheers

Hi SenatorB,
Thank you for the feedback.
Could you try running mniniZ with other kernels? You can use
--mode=n, n={6,11,12,13}.We’ll try to have a closer look at this issue. Also, maybe we’ll be able to optimise miniZ for these GPUs.
Cheers

Hello,
i am a Nicehash user.
Everytime MiniZ had a new version, i downloaded it and pasted directly into the folder in Nicehash structure (overwriting the old version with new one…).
It was an unofficial solution for faster using the new versions, ofc 🙂 this way is known and used widely ofc…
When NH reported new version inside the program, i clicked it, and used the new version “officialy”
But since release 1.7x i got an error after starting mining, that “there is no pool selected”.
The only way is to create BAT and mine directly (with using NH address). But its not a “comfort solution”, because NH doesnt know about it and dont change the algos to more profitable ones…
Please fix it… or please give us this new version (1.7x) through the “update” button inside NH 🙂
thank you very much 🙂
Hi Meek,
We are not sure we fully understand the issue. This seems an error given by Nicehash.
Are you able to tell what is the command that Nicehash generates to launch miniZ?
Maybe we’ll be able to understand this and help you set up the miner.
Cheers

It looks that there is something using the GPU. Could it be that you updated the nvidia driver?
Which algo are you trying to mine? And which operating system?
Could you paste here the miniZ log output, the start of the log?

Hi Lucas,
Thank you for the information.
Unfortunately the 2GB GPUs cannot mine beam3 in Windows 10.
We managed to shrink the kernel enough to run on Windows 7 and Linux. Windows 10 only allows using ~82% of the GPU memory.
You should be able to run 144,5 210,9 and 96,5.
(With Linux and Windows 7 you would be able to also mine 125,4 192,7 and 144,5s (beam3) 🙂
Cheers
I downloaded the miniZ program for use on my windows 10, but I got this error message: VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found!

Thank you
Hi Hay,
Thank you for your message.
miniZ doesn’t seem to be able to find the file. You can try to locate the file in your system and copy it into miniZ folder.
You can find various suggestions on how to fix this. Example here.
However, unless you need it for something else, maybe the best is to find the file and place it next to miniZ. You can download it here.
Let us know if this helped.
Cheers,

Hi Hay,
No problem 🙂
To know the GPU number order you can run in the terminal
miniZ.exe -ciThis will list the available GPUs.
You can see the number right next to #. If you only have one GPU the number will be 0.
Then you can run miniZ adding
-cd n(n is the GPU number) to the command line.Something like this should work:
miniZ.exe [email protected]:3032 -cd n --log --extraDo not forget to add your wallet, worker, and GPU number.

Hi Hay,
The architecture of your GPU is Fermi, which is not supported by miniZ.
We first thought that it was Kepler, the next architecrure after Fermi… sorry about that.
In any case that GPU would have a very very low hashrate.

Hi there.
When I start mining with my GTX 1660 (Windows 10) below messages apear, and that’s it.(Ended without further messages)
But I can see the log file “miniZ.log” that contains the missing messages flow after the broken “Temp. limit: [90?”
I guess the reason why miniZ does not show further is that the ascii code for “degree” celsious is not properly shown.
What do you think of that, and is there any soloution?

Hi miniFriend,

Could you try running miniZ with
--nocolor, and let us know if this solves the issue?This can help understand if it is related to ‘degree’ character.
Cheers
Thanks for your wonderful support, mimiZ!
I did try your recommendation and found it worked!
But I do prefer to have multiple colors instead of singular one.
SO I DID FIND a final solution!
Above situation occurs only in Command Prompt, so I changed to the ConEmu in order to see the difference.(your snippet in the consol output section gives me a hint)
And finally ComEmu works well with distinguishable colors, even though it still has a broken degree symbol.
Anyhow many thanks for your great support and kindness. Have a great day. Cheers.
Hi miniFriend,
Good that you managed to get it working. It looks like it was related to colors. Are you using Windows 10?
We will investigate the issue anyawy.
Thank you for your message!
Cheers
Yes exactly, I am using it on Windows 10 🙂
FYI, I found one more point.
I have two rigs with windows 10 and only one has this broken symbol.
(Another one does not have broken degree symbol at all)
Even if both of them are the same Windows 10, they are slightly different version, since they had been built at different time. So I guess the different font settings of regional locale make this problem.(Yes it’d set up exactly the same, but Windows has different settings inside) The reason why I do think in this way is that not only miniZ has a broken part, but other programs with un-unicode based code has a similar problem.
Many thanks!.

Hi abdhia,
You need to specify your wallet address. The wallet of the coin you want to mine.
Also, you need to choose a mining pool.
For example, to mine Bitcoin Gold with WoolyPooly pool you need to run:

hello guys i am using gtx 1060 3gb miniz miner from nicehash version v1.6x the problem is the miner suddenly restart after 10 minutes sometimes after 20 minutes?? is there any solution to it?

Have you tried the latest version, v1.7×3? If so, do you get the same behavior?
Thanks.
Cheers
Team,
Performance is amazing GTX 1660Ti.
The DOS window does not show any shares. I thought it was not working but via localhost it shows shares.
Does the column after Sol/s should be the # shares? Always zero in the DOS window.
https://imgur.com/a/kaGjThp
Hi CryptoMarketSpy,
To show shares you can use
--show-sharesoption that shows submitted shares/stale/rejected shares.Or
--extrathat gives also other information.You can see further details about miniZ command line options here https://miniz.ch/usage/#command-line-arguments
We notice that you do not have power information (you’re getting zeros).
This could be related to your driver, better to update to a more recent driver.

The behavior you describe is not normal. We are trying to reproduce it but so far we’ve been unable to understand what can be causing this.
If you could tell us what error you get with the miner. Are you able to see this?
Just another question, are you overclocking your GPUs? If this is the case, this could be causing some instability. Try to adjust the OC values.
To exclude that the issue is related to the nvidia driver, it is good to update it to a recent version.
We hope that some of this tips may help.
We are preparing a new release, we’ll do our best to understand this issue.
Cheers
nicehash 1.6x bug in nicehash sudden restart after 10 minutes
plzz implement nicehash 1.7×3 in nicehash soon
Hi saya jay,
Thank you for your feedback.
We’ll do our best to try to reproduce and resolve the issue soon.

Hello,
I started mining yesterday with miniZ and can’t mine!
the mining works for a while, then I receive “WARNING: Bad Share: Invalid Solution” errors which prevents me from validating my mining (see photo, the green curve goes up and then goes down again for no reason). But this error also means that nothing is displayed in the software …
Do you have an idea please?
I mine FLux (Equihash 125.4) with an RTX 3080
Hi Guillaume,
We were unable to reproduce your issue.
We have a few bad shares but for the rest it works fine.
In any case were having a look at 125,4 mining with the RTX 30XX series.
Thank you for the feedback.
Cheers
Hello,
Thank you anyway .. 🙁 If you ever want to see the errors and my mining curve, the photo did not fit in the previous message.
Thank you for the answer
https://ibb.co/sVRnp6D
Hi Guillaume,
Thank you for the screenshot.
We see that you do not use any option to log more details. To track better the information and statistics of you can use
--show-sharesoption that shows submitted shares/stale/rejected shares.Or
--extrathat gives also other information.Do use all the features we make avaiable (see here). These are valuable because they provide information about your rigs’ performance, but also because the information/data allow us to help when an issue occurs.
For the moment it does not seem that you have too many rejected shares, but it is good to keep track of them and see if it improves with more statistics (with time).
We continue to investigate this.
Cheers

Hi caniala,
Sorry, the default kernel for the RTX 3060 is not working.
For the moment you need to tell miniZ to run kernel 6 in that GPU.
To achieve this you need to add
--mode0 6to your command line.Thank you for the feedback.
Cheers
Hi caniala,
Great!
Thanks for letting us know.

Bonjour,
J’ai une RTX 3080 et lorsque je lance le minage j’ai cette erreur :
[ERROR ] Socket[-1] No error:connect
[WARNING] Cannot connect to eu-flux.fluxpools.net pool, reconnect in ~60s!
J’ai il me semble bien configuré mes fichiers, j’ai essayé de désactiver mon anti-virus, mettre une exception au dossier, redémarrer mon PC, mais toujours la même erreur…
Pouvez-vous m’aider SVP 🙂
Hi Baron,
Maybe you need to specify the Personalisation String? Or the algorithm.
Zel coin changed to Flux and miniZ is not able to start the algorithm automatically when mining with some pools.
This will be corrected in the next release.
We did not test with RTX 3080, but it is working for us.
If this is the issue you’ll need to add
--par 125,4or--pers ZelProofto the command line.Your command line should look similar to this:
miniZ.exe [email protected]:7011 --log --extra --pers ZelProofLet us know if this helped.
Cheers
Bonjour,
Oui maintenant avec cette ligne de commande tout fonctionne bien.
miniZ.exe –[email protected]:7011 –log –extra –pers ZelProof –par 125,4 -p minpayout=80
Merci beaucoup,
Cordialement
Hi Baron,
Great.
Thanks for letting us know!

Hello,
I started to mine ZCL with the last version of miniz and it looks like I don’t get a lot of green stars.
Does that mean that the share without a green star are not valid ?
Thanks
Hi Johnjohn,
A few yellow, or even red, stars is normal. But if you are getting too much (> 1% for example) then something is off.
To show shares you can use
--show-sharesoption that shows submitted shares/stale/rejected shares.Or
--extrathat gives also other information.After running the miner with
--show-sharesyou can see the log (in console of file). If you want to let us know how many shares green/yellow/red we’ll help to understand the issue.Could you tell us also to which pool are you mining?
Thanks for the feedback.
Cheers
I am getting this error only, please tell how to fix this:

Hi Daniel Jones,
Sorry for this.
Could you use version 1.6v3 (or v4)? And let us know if it works?
It seems that the kernel for that GPU got broken.
We’ll fix this for the next release.
Thank you for the feedback!
Cheers
I am having the same issue with a GTX 1650 and can confirm that 1.6v3 does not seem to resolve the issue.
Hi Levi Elliott,
Thank you for reporting this.
We corrected the kernel for these GPUs, with the next version it should work well.
The new version will be out soon (hopefully within a week).
Cheers
hello team 🙂
when i put your 4 files (ver 1.7×3 and 1.7×4) to the BIN directory (Nicehash structure) and start to mine, there is an error “no pool selected”
with older 1.6x it starts normally…
thank you for good work 🙂
Meek
Hi Meek,
This issue will be resolved in the next version.
For the moment you need to use version v1.6x.
To use the lastest version, try to append the port number to the name of the pool.
For example, for Zhash, zhash.LOCATION.nicehash.com:3369 instead of zhash.LOCATION.nicehash.com.
Thanks for the feedback.
Cheers
Hi all, I started mining BZE yesterday but I don’t see any transactions in my wallet yet. Is it possible that I am doing something wrong?
Hi P,
Usually the pool defines a minimum treshold that you need to achieve before a transaction is made for your wallet. Could this be the issue? Try to check with the pool what is their minimum threshold for BZE.
Are you mining with equihub.pro? We see that they have this information at their website: “Starting with 15.08.2020 – BZE payments will be paid only ~once every 2-3 days.”
If you confirmed that is not related to the threshold (or pool rules for payments), then could you paste here your command line? And paste here miniZ what miniZ is logging to the console?
Cheers
intensify setting doesnt work
Hi auer,
In general, the response of the intensity function depends on the algorithm. It really needs to be adjusted for each system. However, we’ll try to improve this function in next release.
Could you let us know what algorithm are you trying to mine with intensity?
Cheers
Bad share: Incorrect pool nonce
Hi zzcrypto,
Thank you for your feedback!
This can be a stale share. If it doesn’t happen often it is normal, and is not a problem.
Could you let us know which algo are you mining? And which pool? We’ll have a look at it.
Cheers
Hi,
I have a problem that I cant manage the memory clock of my gpu. I can increase it on msi afterburner but when I start mining with miniz (125.4) my memory clock doesnt take the increase and stay at the same level. Maybe you could help me to understand why ?
Thank you by advance
Hi Yann,
Thanks for your message.
We understand that the performance stays the same? With 125,4 we noticed that increasing the Core clock, and sometimes decreasing Memory clock, helps increase performace.
This seems to work better when we are limiting power to a lower level. We have some of our settings here: https://miniz.ch/1254-2/. However, we haven’t tried with your GPU. Maybe it will work for your settings.
Let us know if you managed to boost a little your GPU performance.
Cheers
Downloaded miniZ_v1.7x3_win-x64.zip, Hash not even close to expected. Please look into this.
Hi Vlad,
Thank you for the feedback!
Which algorithm are you mining? And which GPUs are you using?
We’ll have a look at this.
Cheers
Hi, I downloaded the miniz_v1.7xx3_win-x64, but every time I hit start the application it says fails.
Hi william,
Thank you for your message.
Could you give us some more details?
Could you paste here the error you are getting when the miner fails to start?
In any case, is it this error: VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found! ?
If so, miniZ doesn’t seem to be able to find the file. You can try to locate the file in your system and copy it into miniZ folder.
You can find various suggestions on how to fix this. Example here.
However, unless you need it for something else, maybe the best is to find the file and place it next to miniZ. You can download it here.
Let us know if this helped.
Cheers

Hi, im getting the error message in zminer.exe after running the .bat, says: error loading zcode, any idea what i could do? I have latest driver, cuda 10 installed, worked with other miner, im on Windows 10. Thanks!
Hi Artra,
Do you mean in miniZ miner? (miniZ.exe?)
That error means that there is no kernel function that suports your GPU architecture.
Could you let us know which GPU are you using? And which algorithm are you mining?
Thanks for using miniZ.
Cheers
How do I start mining on ubuntu live usb (using persistent storage)_
Hi Ivan,
Sorry for the late reply.
To start miniZ from a live usb, you’ll only need to install the driver. But the easiest is to find a distro that already inclued the Nvidia drivers.
You may try HiveOS, it is a live distribution for mining. It is based on Linux so you can just open a terminal and run your commands there without using any of the cool functionality the OS provides.
Atlernatively, you’ll need to install it. Maybe this will be of help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence.
Cheers
Hi miniz team,
I am noob in mining but successfully used miniz to mine flux on win10 in the last few days. I’ve decided to try it on Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS. The usage of Ubuntu is new for me (I have however run successfully ethminer with tuto). the GPU is GTX1660 super 6GB.
I had trouble to make miniz mine on fluxpool. I finally make it “work” with version 1.6w2 cuda 10. However my hashrate stay 0 I/s, 0 sol/s.
Do you have any idea how to solve it? I have to admit that I am not 100% sure that I properly intalled miniz on ubuntu (dependencies?) and can’t find a tuto for noob like me.
.\miniz –url=*****@us-flux.fluxpools.net:7001 -p minpayout=10 –par=125,4 –pers=ZelProof –log –extra
Thanks for your help.
Hi Xtremeaktes,
Thank you for your message.
We are not sure we fully understand the issue. We understand that you managed to run miniZ with Windows, and the GTX 1660 super was working well. And with Linux the miner shows 0 I/s? Is this it?
Could you paste here the log output of miniZ?
Could you try the latest version and let us know if it resolves the issue?
The following command line should work well. You can run this on the console:
./miniZ [email protected]:7001 -p minpayout=10 --log --extraLet us know how it goes.
Cheers
Hi thanks for following up. Yes you are correct (win ok, linux not ok with miniz but ok with ethminer).
I’ve tried first the 1.7×3 with other issues (socket connection) I will try the 1.8y2 (new version-Your team roxx!!)

I’ve found the solution, my ISP is blocking mining pool. Using a VPN solve the issue and I am now successfully mining with miniz on fluxpool with ubuntu 20.04. Thanks a lot for your great job!!
Hi Xtremeaktes,
Thank you for letting us know, we were having a hard time trying to reproduce the issue.
Good that you managed to get it running.
Happy mining!

You will not be able to mine Beam with 2GB GPU, on Windows 10.
Have you tried to mine 210,9 – Aion? It is a lighter algorithm, and most likely a good option for your GPU on Windows 10. 144,5 algorithm should also work well.

If you cannot downgrade the driver, the best you can get will be ~35MH/s.
If you are making 32MH/s, we think it is still possible to optimise a bit more.
Try to adust a bit your PL (~100W for the 3060), and OCs.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers
Hello,
I am tring my zotac 3060 to work on HIVE OS, but miner does not start generating DAG file?
Nvidia Driver 460.39
Hive OS [email protected]
Miner: miniz
Version: 1.8y4
Hi Meelis,
Sorry for a late answer. Did you manage to solve this?
This is strange. Possibly the driver is not able to detect the GPU. In this case you may need to install a recent driver.
Could you share a screenshot of miniZ console, with the output?
Cheers
Hello, I am troubling to use miniZ as a miner.
I am on HiveOS and I am trying to mine RVN with flypool but kawpow is not showing up as an algorithim as the picture attached shows.
What can I do?
Hi Nuno,
Thanks for your message and letting us know that this is happening.
Sorry, we are a bit delayed with our feedback.
Did you managed to resolve this issue? Have you contacted HiveOS for help?
If you’re still having problem with this, could you attach the picture again? We were not able to see it.
Cheers
After I click the start button, CMD prompts (error socket write error2) (write: no error) Can you help me, sir，
I am a novice
Hi leeky,
Thank you for your message.
Could you paste here your command line? Maybe the pool url is not well specified, and this can cause a problem with the connection to the pool.
Cheers
Good morning! I have 7 rigs out of 3060 mostly gigabytes of gaiming, 5 rigs of 8 cards, one 9 and one 12 cards, those that do not sleep up to 9 cards, all the normal operating time is more than 10 days, but a rig of 12 cards (also has settings -dax fix and-tune=37, I tried core from 1000-1600 and mem from 1800-2400 ———- constantly arrives rejektnye balls what to do HELP!!! thank you) the best result was attached to the screen all other variations of the settings come in many more rejects
Hi staffcuk,
Thank you for your message.
We were not able to see your screenshots. Could you send/attach them again?
Which pool are you using?
Are all shares rejected? Or just a few of them? Could you paste here the command line you are using for that rig?
Cheers

Hi Michael Medaglia,
Thank you for your message.
It seems that 1140 port is unavailable. Try to use a different port number for Telemetry.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers
RTX 2070S x 5.
Latest stable via awesomeminer.
Any equihash algo, the miner starts reading devices, then crashes. If you restart the miner a few times, it will suddenly work.
I’ve had this issue for a few releases now.
Hi Bob,
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry for the late response to your question.
We’re unable to reproduce the issue. Have you tried to increase pagefile?
Does this only happen with equihash algos?
Could you try running miniZ directly in the console, and see if you get the same behavior?
Do you remember which version may have introduced this issue?
Cheers
Hi, I’m using miniz with nicehash. It shows miniZ v1.6x. It was running fine for 5 mintues but then it started restarting after every few minutes. I tried all OC and normal settings to default but it’s not stopping restarting.
Hi Amit Jain,
Have you managed to resolve this issue?
If you are still facing this problem, it is better to contact Nicehash directly.
Thank you for letting us know.
Cheers
Have 2 3060s running miniz v 1.8y4rc1. On HiveOS After running for a few minutes speed goes down to about 22 MH and error comes up “searching for lock” Then rig crashes.
GPU 0 = 1450 absolute clock 2500 mem 40MH (53 degrees)
GPU 1 = 1200 absolute clock 2400 mem 35MH (65 degrees)
GPU1 gets hot if I raise clock. (Over 65 degrees) I will need to replace the pads.
any thoughts ?
Hi Robin,
Are you still experiencing issues with your GPU1?
Your PL may need to be lowered to ~100W.
Let us know if this was of any help.
Cheers
I’m having an issue where minz starts the stops almost instantly without an error.
The rainbowminer dev seems to think it’s due to miniz terminating if CPU usage is too high. Please can you advise a fix for this?
Hi Ash,

Hey there,
Everytime I try downloading the miniZ zip file, the download gives me a network issue. Is any other way of downloading this file?

Hi dapovoa,
Thank you for the feedback.
The option
--nonvmlis used to disable GPU monitoring. In this case, it shows that message, and disables the report of GPU data status (fan, temperature, power…).If you want to have this information it is better not to use
--nonvml.Cheers
@miniZ but .so library is for building or linux usage, windows use .dll
Your web page theme is not working as normal! The reply button breaks the input for the text box, plus this area doesn’t have any container.
Could you consider on your next release adding an new argument option that allow the miner to output a small information in terminal? A good example (sorry to mention this here) is from trexminer (–quiet). This is very important for small screens!
Hi dapovoa,
Thanks for the feedback.
The message about .so library still shows on Windows. Just ignore it, we’ll have a look.
It seems that the theme may not work properly with all browsers. We have plans to change the messaging system in the future.
Regarding the ‘small screens’ log. How small is your screen (lines and columns)? Have you tried
--coolui? Let us know if this works for you.In any case we’ll consider to add an option for minimal output.
Cheers
Hello,
i use –mode 80 on RTX3060 but don’t get over 18 MH’s.
On one try we where able to get over 30 MHS
Where is my mistake:
./miniZ –url=wallet.worker@eu1.ethermine.org:4444 –mode=80 –mt-auto
Hi joher,
You can download version v1.8y4rc2 here.
With this version you can also use
--tuneoption. Check FAQ page for more information (Optimisation section).If possible try lower PL a bit more. Usually it helps to maintain stability.
Cheers

This doesn’t seem to be a miniZ error, it looks that there is something wrong with HiveOS script.
Have you tried to contact them?

Hi，miniz，how to overclock in the new version? 3060 and 3080Ti
Hi Zhijie,
We share some of our testing settings here: https://miniz.ch/2021/10/06/miniz-v1-8y4rc2-beta-version-is-out/
Also, have a look at what we wrote about
--tune. You may need to adjust a bit the i and/or d values.For example, with the 3080 Ti it may be better to decrease d value to 54 or 55. For usage examples see FAQ.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers

We see that you had wrongly defined the algorithm. Flux is 125,4 and not 144,5. 🙂
You would need to add
--par=125,4.You can omit
--par, miniZ will ‘guess’ the correct algorithm.Cheers
Hi !I use the version of miniZ 1.8y4rc2 and when i start to mining, i have this message:Excluding GPU#0 Nvidia GeForce GT710Number of CUDA [8.0] devices found :0No devices selected, exitingI am a newbie in this univers
Hi Descendre,
The GT710 is Kepler architecture. You will need to explicitly instruct miniZ to mine with that GPU.
It should work if you add
-cd 0to your command line. (If your GT710 is not #0 you need to add the correct order number (#n) of the GPU)Be aware that the GPU has at most 2GB available, so you will not be able to use it to mine all the algos.
Let us know if this helps.

Check if you are running miniZ in the right folder, where the file is located.
Also check if the antivirus have deleted, or put miniZ.exe file into quarantine.
Let us know how it goes.

Hi Raymond,
Could you paste here your command line?
It seems that miniZ is not running on port 20000, or did not manage to bind to that port.
The port might be in use by another program, or maybe you defined a different port number?
Also, it could be the firewall blocking the access.

Hello, i have a trouble running miniz on my 3060 lhr. When i start mining the lhr bypass works great, the hashrate is fine, but after 1-2 hours of mining the miner starts “searching locks” every 10 seconds, so the hashrate dies. I don’t use any advanced settings, i tried to type in different –tune values (from -4 to 5) but it doesn’t seem to make any difference and works just the same as without any –tune setting. What should i do to prevent this? Thanks in advance.
Hi Doggy,
It seems that after some time the miner is not able to get rid of the lock anymore.
Which miniZ version are you using?
Did you lower the power limit to ~100 W? Usually, this helps stability.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers
[FATAL ] GPU[0]: CUDA error 77 ‘an illegal memory access was encountered’ in line 1326 I am using miniZ v1.8y3 on HiveOS v [email protected] I keep getting this illegal memory error.

No matter what I try it continues to show this error.
Hi Eli,
Thank you for the feedback.
This error should be related to OCs. To be able to see if it is OC related, you can run the miner in stock settings (no OCs) and see if you also get the same error.
What algo are you trying to mine?
We are not sure you are applying the settings correctly.
It seems that you are using our suggestions for equihash algorithm, the ECO 70 (for ~70% of power).
For example, in our 1080 70% will be 135 W. We calculate for 70% of the power that the GPU uses in stock settings, this can vary slightly with different models.
If you are mining ETH the OCs will be different from equihash. These will need to be adjusted.
Let us know if this was of any help.
Cheers

Hi Thony18,
It looks like this is related to OCs. Have you tried to adjust the settings?
The OC suggestions we make for ETH are not applicable to Equihash algorithms.
For Flux we share some of our OCs here. Possible, for your 2080 Super the settings will be similar to the settings we used for the 2080 Ti.
Let us know if this helps.
Cheers
is there a memory tweak command for GPU 1080 1080Ti
Hi XCaLiBvR,
If you are mining ETH, you can add
--mt-autoto your command line.This will work only in Linux and you’ll need to use sudo.
Cheers
Hi, I am using Python code to tune my GPU overclocking settings while reading the current hashrate using the API (http://localhost:20000/getstat) with ‘requests’ Python module. Problem with miniz is that there seems to be only the 3hours average hashrate available via the API. Could you add also the 1min average available in the API stats. Or, is it already available somehow?
Hi TP,
Thank you for your message.
We realized that we didn’t documented a couple of options that are available for some time.
We already added here: https://miniz.ch/usage/#command-line-arguments
--avg0=[period]Short term average period (in seconds). Default is 180 seconds.--avg1=[period]Long term average period (in seconds). Default is 10800 seconds.If you use
--avg1=60it should do what you want.Cheers
hi, link from file is possible?
Hi eltrollo,
Do you mean for downloading?
You can also find miniZ here https://github.com/miniZ-miner/miniZ/releases.

Hi. I use Nvidia 3960, driver 460.39 on Hiveos with Miniz 1.8y4rc1 and with 5 pcs of GPU I get 204 Mh what is ok. But problem is in invalid shares which are to mach compare with other miners (egzample Lolminer). My question is how to get rid this invalid shares.
Sorry, GPU is Nvidia 3060
Hi. I am using miniz 1.8y4rc1 with GPU Nvidia 3060, driver 460.39. But I have to much invalid shares when I compare with otther miners.
The queastion is how to get rid of that invalid shares.
Hi Zdenko,
Sorry to hear about invalid shares.
Have you tried the more recent version v1.8y4rc2?
This version has a few modifications that may help with this issue.
Let us know if it helps.
Cheers

Hi MrJake,
Are you using
--nonvmlin the command line? This disables GPU monitoring.If not, try adding

Hi Xris,
The error is not OC related.
This looks that you may not have enough ram/pagefile.
Could you try to increase pagefile and try again?
You can see here how to check the pagefile size and how to manage it.
Let us know if this helps. Thank you for using miniZ.

Thank you,I am running but now my RTX 2080 ti does not come up with any sols when it is mining.
Nevermind all good, thank you for the help and amazing software !
Just added a card to my rig (GTX 1060 6GB) it’s starts to mine and about 10-15min if I run hive shell I see this message “GPU0 driver error 999 ‘unknown error’ in line 123” And shuts down and the whole rig isn’t mining. Slot 0, GPU0 wored just fine before the new card was insert. Have tested to update drivers and lower OC, nothing works. What is the problem?
Hi Erik,
Thank you for your message.
To exclude OC related issues, the best is to run in stock settings all GPUs.
However, this could also be related to the power supply. Since you added a new GPU, maybe your power supply is working on the limit (?).
It can happen that adjusting your OCs and PL may lower the load on your power supply.
Let us know if this helps.
Cheers
[FATAL] GPU[0]: CUDA error 77 ‘an illegal memory access was encountered’ in line 1326
To whom it may concern,I receive below error when running the miniZ on 1660ti GPU: [FATAL] GPU[0]: CUDA error 77 ‘an illegal memory access was encountered’ in line 1326
Hi fariborz,
This message is usually related to OCs.
The best way to exclude OC related issue is to run the miner with stock settings.
Try to adjust your OCs a little and check again if this resolves the issue.
Thank you for your message.
Cheers
I am trying to download miniZ to a new linux machine, and I wget the file from my Google Drive and then tar xvf. I chmod the file to execute, but when I run it, it thinks its and HTML file. How can I easily wget the latest miniZ and then run it?Sorry, linux isn’t my strong area 🙂
Hi Mastermind,
You can download from our website (or from github if it will be easier for you).
wget https://github.com/miniZ-miner/miniZ/releases/download/v1.8y4rc2/miniZ_v1.8y4rc2_linux-x64.tar.gzThe following should work:
cd /tmp; wget https://github.com/miniZ-miner/miniZ/releases/download/v1.8y4rc2/miniZ_v1.8y4rc2_linux-x64.tar.gz; tar -xf /tmp/miniZ_v1.8y4rc2_linux-x64.tar.gz miner stop; mv /hive/miners/miniz/1.8y4/miniZ /hive/miners/miniz/1.8y4/miniZ.bak; cp /tmp/miniZ /hive/miners/miniz/1.8y4/miniZ; miner startCheers

I want to use an earlier version due to what i think is a corrupt beta version on my HiveOS. I selected the version v1.8y3. I ended up with the same error. How do I know the selected version is being used? Can I delete the beta verion? Thanks,
Hi Michael McCarthy,
Why do you say the version on HiveOS is corrupt?
Could you paste here the miner log?
To know which version is running, you can have a look at the miner log.
It prints out the version that it is running.

Dear miniZ team,I’ve been testing miniZ on Flux successfully, and would like to use it from now on instead of my current T-Rex miner for ETH.However, I do use a powershell script (not written by myself) that I use to shut down mining when doing other things with my GPU, and would like to find an equivalent command for miniZ.For T-Rex, the command is http://localhost:4067/control?command=shutdownFor Awesome Miner, the command is http://localhost:17790/api/miners/1?action=stopWould you have a similar command that I could use to shut down miniZ?Also, could you please confirm the process name of miniZ so I can also edit that part of the powershell script please?Thank you very much for your assistance.pop
Hi pop,
You cannot stop miniZ from miner Telemetry.
However, on Awesome miner the same command should work.
On Windows the process name is miniZ.exe.

Thank you for your feedback
Dadz
Hi Dadz,
miniZ doesn’t support an option
--minpayout. What exactly were you aiming for with this?Could it be that you wanted to write
--pass minpayout=100? This will work for some pools.Let us know if this helps.
Cheers
I have high rejects rate (accepted 85%) on 3060s
I use latest version of Hiveos and MiniZ.
Settings: -150 2700 120
What can be a problem?
Hi 3060 high rejects,
Thank you for your message.
Which version are you using? Also, with which pool are you mining?
Just one more thing, are you using
--dag-fix?When getting many invalid, and are overclocking, it may be usefull to use the option
--dag-fix. It helps check for DAG consistency. Try adding this to your command line and let us know if it helps.In any case we’ll have a look.

Hi mongo,
Thanks for your message.
Instead of using
--mode0 6, it is best to use--mode 6or--mode 17.You can check which performs better.
This will apply kernel mode 6 (or 17) to all GPUs.
Let us know if this helps.

Thank you for your message, and all the information.
Try adding

I’m using MiniZ through NiceHash, there are a couple of problems that I am experiencing, GPU: 1060 3GB1/ the miner keeps restarting every 5 mins or so, no apparent reason for it (temps are below 65)2/ the hash is only third of the benchmark & the first line always has 3x the hash of the rest of the lines, 30 Sol/s then it’s stuck at 10 Sol/s, while it’s stuck the temperature is 28-30 & the memory clock is less than 1/4 the maximum
Hi Mysini,
This seems to be OC related.
Are you applying OCs? If this is the case could you adjust the values a little and check if this helps.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers
Dear miniZ,
I am using my laptop which has Intel built-in Graphics card + Nvidia GEForce MX230. I am using miniZ-1.8y via prohashing.com service.
Q1: Configuring the MX230 GPU and understanding the telemetry.
I fiddle along and manage to connect miniZ+Nvidia GEForce MX230 to the service.
As I look at the Command Line prompt, I see some of these:
I see [WARNING] Bad share: Equihash solution is using incorrect parameters < what does this mean? What should I do?
Temp. limit: [90 C] < How can I reduce it to lower temperature?
Q3: Only see MX230 but Built-in Intel UHD Graphics not shown
How to make the intel UHD Graphics card appear and make use of it?
Hope you can help. Thanks!
Ethan
Hi Ethan,
Thank you for your message.
Q1: The “Bad share” message should be related to algo settings. What are you trying to mine? It seems that the miner is trying to mine the wrong algo.
Regarding the temperature limit, you can set a value using
--templimit=[Temperature value].Q3: At the moment miniZ does not support intel graphics, but even if it did the performance would be very low.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers

Been mining with same version of miniZ, same algo,and same hardware for the last couple of months. Had a power supply issue, and decided it is a good time to do fresh OS install, bios flash and some cleanup. After fresh OS and verything seemingly ready, had the first unexpected error, which i found related to Microsoft Visual C++ version, a DLL file missing when trying to run miniZ. Installed a newer version and miniZ started. But after a few hours shut down unexpectedly. This happened another couple of times and was the reason for me to activate logging. You can see the console output above. When the issue occurs, PC keeps running normally, no GPUs have crashed or lost settings in Afterburner, just miniZ is closed and not restarted.Can you please point me a direction for solving this issue? Please. :)Cheers,glvnne
Hi glvnne,
Thank you for your message and the log information.
This seems an OC issue. Could you try to adjust your OCs (clocks and/or PL)?
It can happen that after the updates, (also the driver?) the same OCs you were using before are pushing the GPUs to the limit.
Let us know if this resolved the issue.
Cheers
hello, i have the following probem or issueCannot read health status! (is libnvidia-ml.so installed?): No such file or directoryNumber of CUDA[8.0] devices found: 1where can i check to see if its installed?thankstom
Hi tom pauli,
Have you tried to update the driver?
You can try to update the driver, possibly this would be enough to solve the issue.
If this doesn’t work maybe you are missing the nvidia library
nvml.dll.It could be misplaced, or during driver instalation the antivirus got rid of it.
You’ll need to find/download the file and add it to
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\, or to miniZ folder (should work too).You can also have a look at another message (with a bit more information) we posted here
Let us know if this helped.
Cheers
ps: If you added
--nonvmlto your command line then do not use it.The option
--nonvmlis used to disable GPU monitoring. In this case, it shows that message, and disables the report of GPU data status (fan, temperature, power…).************ miniZ v1.8y4rc2 ************

It looks that the miner tried to launch the kernel but couldn’t allocate memory.
This might be related to pagefile. Could you increase pagefile, and check again?

Hi bobcat,
We’ve answered in your previous post here.
There are two issues, one is with the pool address that you write with the
--urloption. (You cannot write the https://)The second, is that you need to pay attention to the information that each pool gives for ssl mining.
Many times there is a specific address and/or specific port number for ssl mining.
We had a look at woolypooly pool and european address (with .eu.) does not support ssl.
If you want to use the european server address (not ssl), your command line should be as follows:
.\miniZ.exe --url=0xa03881cc[email protected]pool.eu.woolypooly.com:33333To mine to the ssl port, your command line should be:
.\miniZ.exe --url=ssl://0xa03881cc[email protected]pool.woolypooly.com:33333Let us know if this helps. Do let us know if something is still not clear.

okay so ive had alot of trouble recently with flux mining. my rig wouldent detect all 3 gpus. or it would but wouldent mine flux with all 3.
eventually i got all 3 cards working and mining on flux for about 3 days straight until one of the cards suddenly dropped to 0°- 0-sol/s 0-wat
i closed the miner and got a bluescreen saying tdr value
restart and got them all mining again for about 3 hours and the same thing happens. all stats drop to 0 but only on 1 card
so after 1 of my cards stopped mining and 2 kept mining at the same speeds and all was normal for them. i decided to reinstall windows incase of viruses or anything. now only 2 cards are mining and 1 is at normal stats and 1 card is like 5sol/s 190wat/s
i just dont understand how mining can be so dam frustrating. i updated bios flashed bios. clears cmos. changed pci slots. cleaned pci slots. changed speeds driver uninstaller and reinstalled fresh drivers and still doesnt mine propperly
any help is appreciated
Hi TSchkape,
Sorry to hear that you are having such a frustrating experience.
Which GPUs are you using?
Also, could you share your OCs, the core and memory clock values?
(Have you tried to mine with stock settings?)
Maybe you could also check if the power supply is running well, and delivering enough power for all your GPUs. If the issue is related to power, you can lower PL a bit and see if it helps.
Let’s see if we can help.
Cheers

My concern is the 1660Super I’ve underclocked, overclocked, no clocked even shut Afterburner off,
and the only setting that changes Sols/s is changing the power limit. If I raise it any higher the card
quickly goes above 70 C. It from what I’ve read should get around 31-32 Sols/s. My 1660ti is a bit low
but it’s connected to my monitor. I’m running 32GB RAM with a page file setting of 26624 MB of
virtual memory. What do you think might be the cause of this one card being so low? I get 32-33 MH/s
with it on the NB and Excavator miner running the Daggerhashimoto Algo. Think maybe it’s a defective card?
I’ve only had it a couple of months or less. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Hotrod,
Thank you for your message, and all the information.

Hi,Recently while im minning with my 2gpus on miniZ on windows i start to get a lot of blue screen with the erro video tdr failure, after read a lot about the subject i try every troubleshooting and in the end i just change the miner software and it seems to be stable while im using computer or when im off of it.Do you have any idea why miniZ start to crash like that ? i cant even shutdown the miner, right away put it to blue screen when i try to shutdown the miner. Any ideas ?
Hi,Im having some issues on MiniZ miner software, is there any place where i can have some support to try to understand what can be causing the probelms that im having ?
Hi João Bruno,
Thanks a lot for contacting us.
Have you tried to adjust the OCs a little? It seems that this could be the issue.
The OCs may not work across different miners, since the algorithm implementation may differ a little.
We do not know which GPUs are you using, you could have a look at some of the OCs we share and see if it helps.
(Ex for Flux https://miniz.ch/1254-2/).

Hello miko,
Thank you for your message.
Sorry, but we are not sure we understand your issue.
Maybe it is best to increase a bit the temperature limit, try to increase to 75º (a little more is also OK). You just need to write the number. Also, Celsius are the default unit so no need to add
-–tempunits=C.If you only want to mine with GPU 2, you can write
-cd 2.To mine with all 3 GPUs:

Hi viewer,
Thank you for your message.
This issue really seems to be OC related. The GPU (or more than one) is crashing causing also the driver loses access to the card.
You need to adjust the OCs for the GPUs. Maybe it is just one that is causing this.
You could also check if your power supply is running well, and delivering enough power to your system.
Let us know how it goes.

When sending the API monitoring request very shortly after launching the Miniz miner process – Miniz is crashing about 50% of the time. {“id”:”0″, “method”:”getstat”} If you wait a few seconds before sending this request for the first time, it always works fine. It looks like Miniz miner is sensitive to processing this request at some point during initialization (the first 1 or 2 seconds).

Could you let us know if the machines where you want to run miniZ have internet access?
If your mining computers do not have internet access, you may need to run a proxy somewhere in a node with access to both networks.
Cheers
Hi,Telemetry is not always on (Firefox or Chrome). Sometimes i have to restart miniZ 2 or 3 times before telemetry kick-on. Also if telemetry is off is that mean i also lost the pool for that same amount of time ?It is worst when i launch the task from windows task scheduler. when i use the user SYSTEM its rarely working, when i use other user it’s 50% success like when i start the task manually. Everything is launch as admin rights. and miniZ.exe is set as admin in property. The firewall have port 20000 open and miniZ.exe was added to the white list of the firewall and the same for the anti-virus. My bat file have a taskkill /f /im “miniZ.exe” /T, then a timeout 5 then it start the miniz line.for the telemetry usage i used -a 20000 or –telemetry 20000 or –telemetry=10.0.0.87:20000 all those 3 methods are equivalently intermittent working.My best workaround for now is using a repeating command in my bat file
taskkill miniz, timeout 5, start miniz, timeout 5, taskkill miniz,
timeout 5 and finally start miniz….my chances that telemetry kick-on are better.😀
Hi Steve Lapointe,
Thank you for letting us know.
We’ll think about it, and see if we can improve this.

Hello! I ran miniz with 1 nvidia card and 1 amd card and see that miniz does not support opencl. Is that true or it is just I do not know how to turn it on
Hi caubexinhtrai,
At the moment miniZ does not support AMD GPUs.
However, an AMD version will be introduced in the next version.
We will release first the support for 125,4 algorithm.
Cheers
Every time I try to start my bat file it automatically closes. This is a new mining rig setup, I’m running windows 10 pro 64 bit, all the updates installed. I downloaded the newest stable version of miniz.I have the latest NVDIA driver for my Geforce GTX 1080ti 11gb – driver version 512.15
Hi G,
Thank you for your message.
We understand that you do not see any error message?
We are not sure what can be causing this behavior. However, we suspect that it may be related to a missing a dll file – VCRUNTIME140.dll.
If so, this happens because miniZ is not able to find the file. You can try to locate the file in your system and copy it into miniZ folder.
You can find various suggestions on how to fix this. Example here.
However, unless you need it for something else, maybe the best is to find the file and place it next to miniZ. You can download it here.
Let us know if this helped.
Cheers

Hi there Mini Z, I’m running a single Nvidia RTX 2080 super on my personal PC, and I found out that Mini-Z will run perfectly fine and stable as long as the temps are below 70 degrees. When it goes above 70 degrees, Mini-Z will crash after a few mins, even though the temp limit was set to 80 degrees in afterburner ( I assume it’s 90 degrees in Mini-Z since that’s what was displayed on launch ). Is this normal?CUDA Driver API error = 0702 from <125,4>, line 1279
Hi CryptoChoy,
It seems that the GPU heats up a little, try to adjust a bit your OC settings. Maybe you can start by lowering PL a little.
This should help.
You can also adjust the temperature limit by adding the
--templimit=[Temperature value]option to your command line. It will define the temperature limit at which mining will suspend for one minute. The temperature control will suspend mining as a safety measure, however as a regular operation control it is best to adjust the OCs.Let us know if this helps.
Cheers
Hi again, I have changed the OC settings and I managed to run miniZ for 5 days without issues. I took the card out for some dust cleaning and now when I put the card back and try to run miniZ again it crashes after few iterations with the same error. This is definitely not due to thermals or OC settings as I’ve successfully ran the same configuration for 5 days straight previously. May I know what might be the cause for this and what are the recommended solutions? Seems a bit odd to me. CUDA Driver API error = 0702 from <125,4>, line 1279
Hi CryptoChoy,
Thank you for your message.
This message often relates to OCs. You may need to adjust the settings a little.
But, the best way to discard other issues is to run the card in stock settings to see if the error persists.
Also, you may also need to check your power supply. It may be causing system instability if becoming faulty.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers
Hey Guys,I’m just trying MiniZ for the first time ever.How do I display the share found difficulty? or is that not an option?
Hi Sebastian,
If you run miniZ with

Cheers
Downloaded miniZ and Bat. there is no bat for flux. where do I edit and run this miner? I have been running 2miners but want the parallel assets. I cant run any of the bats. I edited zel hoping it would work with my wallet, password and region but I could not even start that to even receive a “fail”.
Hi chsmurphy,
We’ll have a look at this for the next release.
You can also create your own .bat file. For this you need to create a new text file, and when giving it a name do not forget to set the .bat extension. Then you can paste there a command line with other miner options (ex. add
--show-persto show personalisation string). Or add extra functionalities (ex. auto restart the miner).Here you can find how to create a batch file, there is an example for BTG mining.
For the moment, if you mine with woolypooly (for example) you can run the miner by creating a bat file (will make the miner restart) as follows.
Do not forget to customize your wallet address, worker name, server and port number:
:loopminiZ.exe [email protected]:3092 --log --extra
timeout /t 5
goto loop
Let us know if this helps.

Hello,I’m mining with HiveOS / MiniZ on Flux.But MiniZ doesn’t work with a 1650S.I’ve this message :
Hi Zampini,
Is miniZ starting with kernel mode 6? It should work…
You can try adding –mode 11 to your command line. (This will apply mode 11 to all your GPUs.
To apply to only this GPU use –modeN 11 (N is the GPU number).
In the case you have a screen attached to your GPU, it may not have much memory availble for mining.
If you see that mode 11 is also not good for the GPU, try adding –mode 18 instead.
Let us know if this helps. We’re trying to understand the issue.

I'm new to mining, but I had a doubt about it, the percentage went from 100% to 92% what does that mean?Hi roberto,
Are you using Windows 10?
That GPU has only 3GB. Windows 10 leaves much less memory available so we had to create a special kernel for flux mining on 3GB GPUs.
If you leave it for longer time that percentage may improve a bit, however flux mining with 3GB+Win10 will always have a bit more rejects or stale shares.
If you use Windows 7, or Linux OS, it should work much better.

Hi Zane,
This looks like an hardware issue.
We’ve experienced something similar in one of our rigs. Changing the gpu order helped.
The best is removing GPU one by one to find out which is causing problems.
In any case, is this specific to one algorithm? Or is more generic?
Cheers
I tried changing the GPU order, still crashed.It’s working on other Algorithms so I believe it’s just the zelhash algoThanks for your reply,still trying to figure it out
Each day some of my miniZ miners stop and close themselves for no apparent reason. When will a watchdog be added to reduce down time? TIA
Hi Aurum,
You can run miniZ from a bat script with a loop.
For example on Windows you can create a bat file with content as follows:
:loopminiZ.exe [email protected]:port --log --extra
timeout /t 5

Hi,The telemetry access is not always working. Sometimes i need to restart miniz 4-5 times before i can see it on firefox or chrome or edge on my pc or also if i access them from my phone inside or outside the network. I tried disabling the firewall and add an exception to the port 20000 but same results. I tried the following -a 20000, –telemetry 20000 or
--telemetry 10.0.0.87:20000 same bug. I even tried to combine both -a 20000 and--telemetry 10.0.0.87:20000 at the same time in my bat files with no luck. Telemetry is intermittent. i don't know if there is a king of port usage reset that i can add to my bat file as a workaround. Also if the telemetry is not reachable is that mean that the miner performance itself is affected ?ThanksHi Steve,

miner performance is not affected with this.
Possibly that port is being used by another program.

Could you paste here the output of

Hi there, sorry I took so long to reply.My PSU fried my motherboard or it was the other way around so I had to replace both.I went back a to an older version and now have console and telemetry output, however still no temp and watt.Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for a great miner.
Hi Jose,
Sorry to hear about your PSU/motherboard.
It is likely that you had to reinstall the driver…
If not you could try to update the driver, and maybe this would be enough to solve the issue.
If this doesn’t work, and you’re using Windows:
Maybe you are missing the nvidia library
nvml.dll.It could be misplaced, or during driver instalation the antivirus got rid of it.
You’ll need to find/download the file and add it to
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\, or to miniZ folder (should work too).You can also have a look at another message (with a bit more information) we posted here
If you’re using Linux:
Can you find the libnvidia-ml.so file?
To know if you have libnvidia-ml.so you can search by running the command ‘locate libnvidia-ml.so’
Maybe is not properly installed (could help reinstall the nvidia driver). Or, you may need to add it to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Let us know if this helped you get the temp and watt back.
Cheers
ps: If you added
--nonvmlto your command line then do not use it.The option
--nonvmlis used to disable GPU monitoring. In this case, it disables the report of GPU data status (fan, temperature, power…).Hi there. I started to have some other problems like BSOD so i tried different things. I finally installed a very old driver,2018, from Nvidia and every thing is back to normal. Thanks so much for your suggestions, it shows you care about the users. I use miniz to mine everything I can with my old GTX 1060 GPUs.
Hi Jose,
Thanks for the feedback, and for your kind words.
It’s great to know that you managed to find a way to resolve the issue.
We’re also using an older driver (470.86, Linux) on one of our rigs, that is working well with even older GPUs. On Windows, maybe 473.xx driver could also work?
On the other hand, if its working OK, maybe you can let it be as it is, for now. 🙂

Hello, I installed the new version of miniZ (1.9) but when I run the bat file the window automatically closes. It’s happened on both of my workers. I also tried to launch using the GUI, the window opens but the miner doesn’t launch/start, it stays on a loop trying to connect.
My workers are a gtx 1050ti on windows 10 and a gtx 1070 on windows 11 both running on miniZ version 1.8z3.
Also, I’ve been getting an error code on my 1070, it says [ERROR] Socket write error2 and the next line prints: write : No error . After that I get a couple of invalid shares and continues working.
Any fixes or recommendations?
Thank you!
Hi Andy X,

Hi Justin R,
Thank you for letting us know.
We’ll have a look at this.

I’m trying to setup miniZ to mine but I keep getting this error code. I’m sure I have correctly input the pool address.I’m using the latest version of miniZ (miniZ_v1.9z2_win-x64)[FATAL ] Unknown command line option
:2033Just for more information. I am running 3060 ti and 3070’s in the rig and they’re running 512.15 drivers.
Hi Youssef,
Could you paste here your command line?
Check if you have a space before the ‘:2033’.
Cheers

Thanks for using miniZ.
Which GPU are you using?
Could you also paste here the output of running
miniZ.exe -ciCheers
I’m using NVIDIA RTX 2080 SUPER.

Thanks for the feedback.
Sorry we didn’t specify well the command.
We asked to run
miniZ.exe -ci(just the -ci option), with no other mining options 🙂But it’s OK, it looks that the miner is trying to launch the kernel but cannot allocate memory.
This might be related to pagefile. Could you increase pagefile, and check again?
You can see here how to check the pagefile size and how to manage it.
Let us know if this helps.
Cheers
VCRUNTIME140.dll was not found, keep getting this error on startup. I have updated the driver for the RTX 3070, and tried multiple versions of miniz. No luck today.
Hi Travis,
Thank you for your message.
It seems that miniZ is not able to find the dll file.
You can try to locate the file in your system and copy it into miniZ folder.
You can find various suggestions on how to fix this. Example here.
However, unless you need it for something else, maybe the best is to find the file and place it next to miniZ. You can download it here.
Let us know if this helped.
Cheers
Miniz does not show any power/eff stats? I tried using 1.8z3 and 1.9z2, both have the same issues but mining works. Other mining software all works well on the same cards. Please help.

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the feedback.
This will be working well in the next release.
Cheers
Hi. The console sends me an error concerning the setting of the fans. The driver version is not compatible. Perhaps it would be wise in the error message to indicate which version is compatible… 😉
Hi Pika28,
We’ve just answered to your other message.
Regarding fan control, we may be able to make it work for older drivers, on Windows.
For the moment it will work with more recent drivers like the 516(Windows).
Thanks for your message.
Cheers
Hi,I have 10 1080ti GPU. My Rig work fine with T-Rex for mining RVN.When i try to mine FLUX with MiniZ my Rig reboot after check all GPU or some times the Rig reboot just some seconds after check GPU.This is my commande line : sudo ./miniZ –url=ssl://####### –par=125,4 –pers=ZelProof –power=180 –nvidia –logfile=log09 –extra Thank you for your help
Hi,When i launch Miniz (1.9z2 on Ubuntu 20.04) on my rig (10 x 1080ti), the rig reboot after GPU list. No OC, just 100% fan speed set.However my 10 1080ti work perfectly with other Miner.This is my commande line : sudo ./miniz –url=ssl://[email protected]:xxxx –part=125,4 –pers=ZelProof –power=180 –nvidia –log –extraI try without POWER option but the result is the same.If anyone have some tips or solution… Thank you.
It try to set power option to 210 and i have the following error :GPU[4]: Driver error 999 ‘unknow error’ in line 178I have Nvidia 515.65 and Cuda 11.70Thank you
Hi MrAlgo,
We answered on bitcoinalk forum too.
Could you test the new version v1.9z3 and see if the issue persists?
Could you check if your power supply is enough for the system power demands?
If you try running miniZ with just a couple of GPUs does it work?
Also, have you tried mining RVN with miniZ? How does it perorm?
It is good to check the OCs, equihash might need different settings.
Let us know how it goes!
Cheers
Hi MrAlgo,
You can try also lower power a bit. 🙂
Cheers
Hi,I’m using MiniZ 19z2 and one of my rigs keeps having this error:/hive/miners/miniz/h-run.sh: line 20: 6299 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ./miniZ $(< {MINER_NAME}.conf) –logfile $MINER_LOG_BASENAME.log –telemetry 127.0.0.1:${MINER_API_PORT} –gpu-lineminiz exited (exitcode=139), waiting to cooldown a bitThe miner reboots several times a day, can someone tel me why?Thanks
HI,My MiniZ 1.9z2 keeps restarting with this error miniz “exited (exitcode=139), waiting to cooldown a bit”Any clues?
Hi João Ferreira,
Thank you for the feedback. We had a look at this and this should be Ok with the new version v1.9z3.
Could you try the new version and check if the issue disapears?
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers
Hi. Just wondering if miniZ works for Exchangecoin (EXCC) on pool.excc.co I just use the default format, but I get an error. LOLminer works fine using that command listed on the pool.
Hi Leigh C Chao,
Thank you for your message.
miniZ doesn’t work with Exchangecoin (EXCC).
We may support it in the future.
Cheers
in my setups miniz has problems with rigs with 11 cards or more on zelhash and zhash. ethash is fine. i havent tested where the ‘changeover’ point is. 8 card rigs are fine.im running SMOS. what happens is the miner crashes with ‘ Driver error 999 ‘unknown error’ one to two times per hour all day. again, ethash is fine.
Hi someguy,
This should e related to OCs.
Usually the OCs for Equihash algorihms are dfferent from the OCs for Ethash algos.
Try to adjust them. We share a few settings for some GPUs, we want to update the ables for other pus. Maybe these will help you.
Flux: https://miniz.ch/1254-2/
Zhash: https://miniz.ch/1445-2/
Thanks!
Cheers

Hi Alex,
What are you trying to mine?
Is it EXCC? miniZ does not support EXCC mining.
Cheers
Hi Nguyen Minh,
We’ll have a look at this.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Cheers
guys, Error 999 with no OC at all. please correct it
Hi MF,
Thank you for the feedback.
Which algo is this?
This is an unspecific error. Does this happen often?
Cheers
I’m getting vcruntime140.dll error when trying to run the bat file. Am I missing software or a extension?
I found the solution in another reply. Thank you
Hi Daniel,
Great. Let us know if you need further help.
Thanks.

v1.9z4 won’t switch back from mining dev fee. after 24hr+ uptime.
Hi Divinity666, everyone,
Thank you for your feedback.
We’ve been carefully looking into this, and finaly found the culprit.
When the user pool falls during the fee time (or right before start mining to the fee), mining can get stuck with the fee.
This seems to happen only in this situation, this is why we were not able to find it before.
We are deeply sorry about this, as you can imagine this is also very unconfortable for us.
For now, you can disconnect from the internet for about 3 minutes and reconnect again. This should bring the miner back to the user.
Once more, we would like to thank you for the feedback, which is precious for us. This way we can know about uncommon issues like this one, and improve the miner.
We’re working to fix this asap!!
Cheers
ps: we’re also answering to your message on the website.

Hi MC,
Thanks for your feedback.
Try adding
--nvmlto your command line, this will disable gpu monitoring by miniZ, but will help us to track the issue. Which GPUs do you have?Please update to version v1.9z5b. Version v1.95b should run more stable, includes a few fixes. Also corrects a nasty bug.
Let us know how it goes.
Cheers
Hello since z5 or the newest z5b Miniz not start code OpenCL KERNEL1 : CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES Z4 is OK
Hi flacdo,
If you have an RX570 try to force kernel 20 to that GPU. This is done by using the option
--mode 20(to apply kernel 20 to all GPUs) or--modeX 20(where X is the number of the GPU in question).Cheers, miniZ
Thank you ! Fast support ! 🙂 I tried it but now GPU0 CANNOT START IN KERNEL 20 and in all mode 20 some cards cannot use it
Hi flacdo,
Thanks for the feedback.
You can only apply the kernel 20 to polaris GPUS.
Look at this example for the output of the commad .\miniZ.exe -ci :
PS C:\> .\miniZ.exe -ciNumber of miniZ CUDA>=[8.0] using driver CUDA[11.60] devices found: 3
#0 Zotac GeForce RTX 3060 | SM version: 8.6 | SM count: 28 | cores: 3584 | Memory: 9.988GB | BusID: 0000:04:00.0
#1 Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070 Ti | SM version: 8.6 | SM count: 48 | cores: 6144 | Memory: 6.529GB | BusID: 0000:09:00.0

#3 AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT | gfx1031 | SM count: 20 | cores: 0 | Memory: 11.984GB | BusID: 0000:03:00.0

#5 Radeon RX 570 Series | Ellesmere | SM count: 36 | cores: 0 | Memory: 4.000GB | BusID: 0000:0a:00.0
#6 Radeon RX 580 Series | Ellesmere | SM count: 36 | cores: 0 | Memory: 4.000GB | BusID: 0000:0a:00.0
In this case if the RX 570 needs kernel 20, it is needed to add
--mode5 20This way the other cards would load their default kernels.
Cheers,
miniZ
So good MiniZ ! i just selected the wrong gpu. Thank you for your help and your work ! Long life for miniZ !
Good Day,Does MiniZ have an API to pause and resume the miner, if so please could you share an example?Apologies if this has already been asked and answered?Thanks
Hi HashHashHash,
miniZ doesn’t have this option.
We’ll think about it.
Thanks for the suggestion
Cheers
There is still an issue with miner loosing pool, only now it’s not showing it got stuck in dev fee – its shows as if it’s mining regularly. Got it on two rigs already.

upd. ok, sorry, it seems it was server’s api issue!
Hi Divinity666,
Thanks for the feedback!
