Mining Algorithm
miniZ supports Equihash <125,4>, <144,5>, <144,5s>, <150,5>, <150,5,3>, <192,7>,<210,9>, and <96,5> mining:

However, support for other Equihash algos (other set values for the parameters n,k) is expected to follow. This might take some time though.

GPUs
Although miniZ was not tested on all available GPUs, it is expected to run on all Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, and Turing architectures. If experiencing any trouble with any of these GPUs, do leave your comment here for support.
miniZ Equihash 144,5 and 96,5 requires almost 2GB memory to work, but because Windows driver always uses a lot of GPU memory, the 2GB GPUs may run slower on Windows than on Linux.
Similarly, Equihash 150,5 runs slower on Windows than on Linux for 3GB GPUs. On Windows, 150,5 is not suported for <3GB GPUs.
miniZ Equihash 192,7 requires 2.7GB memory to work. On Windows, 192,7 is not suported for <=3GB GPUs.
