Hi jgonzi, 18-Terahash,
We'll keep improving miniZ
Thanks a lot for the feedback, it is very much appreciated!

Hi
How can Intensity options be used to gradually change GPU load
I was digging AION with rTX2060
Using -i=99 GPU load was only 26% hashing only 48SOL
I want the GPU to load around 85%, how to write the code

Hi sihuoyu,
It looks that you’re using the option well.
We’ll have a look. It seems that the intensity option is not optimised for AION. It should be fixed in the next version.

At the moment, you can try a less optimised kernel that may free some GPU resources.
We’re not sure this will work but it is worth to try. Use --mode=[0-9], and do not use -i option now.

Currently we are also working on improvements for 210,9. 🙂

Thanks for using miniZ!
Cheers

Thank you for your reply.
Use --mode= GPU load is still 100%.
I need to get the GPU load down to around 85%.
Please update and fix the -i option as soon as possible.
I have tens of millions of Internet cafe computers to mine.
Must ensure that it does not affect the gaming experience.

Hi sihuoyu,
If you need to mine 210,9 we’ll see if we can provide a fix for this very soon. The intensity option seems to work much better in other algos.

Could you let us know which OS and which CUDA version are you using?
Cheers
ps: We've also answered to your message on miniZ website.

[miniZ]

cuda version 8.0-11.0 has
So it’s best to use version 8.0 and support all graphics cards
Try not to overclocked too much, so as not to affect the game experience

Hi sihuoyu,

You can find miniZ v1.6w3 with a fix for intensity option, for 210,9. Download here: https://miniz.ch/download-beta/
Let us know if it is working for you, we make this available as beta because it was not deeply tested.

For RTX 20XX and GTX 16XX you’ll need to use Cuda 10 version.

Cuda 11 will only be necessary for RTX 30XX series.

Cuda 8 is no longer supported but we updated the files too. Soon we’ll stop updating these. It is best to move to CUDA 10.

Hope this helps. 🙂
Cheers

Graphics cards of 2070, 1660, 950 and below still need improvement
I can Mining with CUDA8.0 version on RTX2070, RTX2060, GTX1660, so can I not use cuda10.0?
How much is the Developer fee for miniZv1.6w3?

Hi sihuoyu,

Thank you for the feedback.

It is best to use Cuda 10 for all. You will only need to have Nvidia driver version >=411.31.
See Table 2 @ https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html

We are not sure to have properly understand your statement. RTX 20XX and GTX 16XX GPUs need Cuda10 (they are Turing-based GPUs).
“CUDA 10.0 adds support for the Turing architecture (compute_75 and sm_75).” (in Release notes: https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/archive/10.0/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html).
You can also read some information @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_(microarchitecture)

The best is to make sure you update the driver to >=411.31 version and use miniZ Cuda 10, even for the GTX 950/750 this should be the best.
In any case we’ll have a look at this issue and work on improvements of intensity option for the next version.

We are not sure how can we help further at the moment, let us know if you have any other suggestions.
Cheers
ps: dev. fee is 2% of mining time.

I’m sorry. My English is terrible
I am the batch deployment to the Internet bar machine, some Internet Bar’s graphics card is quite poor, for example GTX750, GTX950 and so on.
Can the -- CDE Code exclude graphics card models such as -- CDEG = tx 750, GTX 950.
Can the miniZ exclude graphics cards with less than 3G VRAM

Hi sihuoyu,
We've also answered to you message on our website.

No worries, we will manage to understand each other. 🙂

In linux you could run something like:

Code:

export cards=$(./miniZ -ci |grep -E '1050|1070' | grep -E -o '#[0-9]+'|tr -d '#') && ./miniZ --logauto2 --url=0xa074dd01441a2618296591e0d5fb69603624e8aa0251decec9f81c7f050a84c.2080Ti@cluster.aionpool.tech:3333 --extra --show-solratio --localtime=13 --extradetail -cde $cards && echo $cards

This will run miniZ excluding 1050 and 1070.
Will you be able to translate the previous linux command to windows batch?

At the moment we have all our computers in linux. If you find it hard, we’ll return to help later in the day.

Let us know how it goes.
Cheers

Hi somaton, grillsum,
Thank you for your feedback.

It looks that miniZ did not load the best kernel for the RTX 30XX, when mining Beam.

Please try running with --mode=6.

We will try to further optimise Beam for your GPUs soon.

Let us know if this helped solving the issue.
Cheers

hi
I am ashamed, I don’t know how to convert windows batch
I'd like to exclude graphics CARDS below 1050.
Only 1050 and higher graphics CARDS can mining
Please help me write a Windows code
Thank you very much

Hi sihuoyu,
No need to be embarassed.

We managed to add an option -cden to miniZ v1.6w4 version. You can find it as Beta version here.
Our tests were OK, but it may require a bit more testing. So, all the feedback is welcome.

You can use -cden to exclude GPUs by name. If you do not know the GPU label/name use -ci to list all the GPUs.

Examples:
 1. Exclude GTX 1050:
    -cden=1050  or -cden='GTX 1050'
 2. Exclude GTX 750 and GTX 950 and GTX 1050:  
    -cden=750,950,1050
 3. Exclude GTX 1050 Ti and GTX 1070:
    -cden=1050,1070 or -cden='GTX 1050','GTX 1070'
 4. Exclude all GTX:
    -cden=GTX
 5. Exclude RTX 2070:
    -cden=2070
 6. Exclude all Ti  
    -cden=Ti


Hope this will help!

Let us know how it goes.
Cheers

The personalisation string is GrimmPOW (with 'O' and not 'o').
Could this be the issue?

Hi UselessGuru,

miniZ v1.6w4 is only to be used with RTX 30XX.

You'll need to use v1.6w2, for now.

Next version, v1.6x, will support all GPUs.

Thank you for the feedback.
