Just d/l the miner and it up and runs right off but where is the config file?? Maybe I am blind but the miner says "no pool specified" obviously because I haven't set up a config file and don't see one in the zip or the miner file? Thanks. The speeds look terrific in comparison to Gminer so I would really like to make this work. Thanks again

Hi BigHarryArmsi,

thank you for the feedback.
There is no config file. On Windows, you can create a .bat file to launch miniZ with your personalised settings.

On Windows it is something like this, for BitcoinZ and 2miners pool:

 miniZ.exe --url YourAddress.WorkerName@btcz.2miners.com:2020 --log --gpu-line --extra

You can also run miniZ by just writing the same line on the command shell. Do not forget to modify it to meet your needs.

For more examples you can check here https://miniz.ch/usage/
Also, we created a few posts for most of the supported coins. Check here https://miniz.ch/category/usage/

We hope these tips will work for you.
Feel free to ask for further help, if needed.

Cheers

I'm sorry. Please forgive my ignorance. I don't see where this information is supposed to go? Easy enough to input the correct info but where does this information go?
Do I delete this >>>SHA256 (miniZ.exe) = e35ea131810e49dcdfb4e14e557616b83362fa58310691916d0e4fd666863ef3<< and then rewrite the whole corrected line?
Also, at Equipool there is a password to control payout. where would I add that? Thank you again and please forgive my ignorance.

Hi BigHarryArmsi,
no problem at all, we are here to help.

Just ignore the sha256 file. We created a .zip file containing some .bat files that you can modify.
SnowGem, ANON and BitcoinZ examples are for equipool. These may be the most useful for you to start.

You can find it here https://miniz.ch/download/  or direct link here
Let us know if it worked for you.

Cheers

miniZ.exe --pers=BitcoinZ --url t1h7WGHNLx8hY97UerETfDPVfVj9QqNM94d.n3 --mine-btcz-na.equipool.1ds.us:50063 --log --extra --pass minpayout=4000

[miniZ]

Hi BigHarryArmsi,

Try:

Code:

miniZ.exe -cd 3 --pers=BitcoinZ --url t1h7WGHNLx8hY97UerETfDPVfVj9QqNM94d.n3@mine-btcz-na.equipool.1ds.us:50063 --log --extra --pass minpayout=4000

Also make sure that the .bat file is in the same folder as miniZ.exe.

Cheers!

Thanks for the miner guys, but "intensity" are still not working after 3 new versions! Can you fix it, please???

Hi supervitek,
thanks for the message.

The intensity option works, however it is true that it can be improved. We will certainly work on this for the next version.
For the moment you can try --intensity=10 and you will see that the miner will run slower.

If this is not what you expect, can you clarify what you mean by "not working"?  

Cheers

Not working means not working =)

It stuck like this as soon as I add a intensity option:

https://i.ibb.co/R4CLxt6/download.png

So after that nothing happens, mining is not starting.

P.S. Lol! It started after 2 mins with 0 sol/s =) So it is ... working?! =)))

P.S.S. I changed intensity for 85 and still 0 sol/s... Sad...

Hi supervitek,

You are right! It is not working in Windows, sorry about this.
We already fixed this, it will be fine in the next version! (coming soon)

It works in Linux, but it will also run better in the next version.

Again, sorry about this but thanks a lot for the feedback!
Cheers!

ps: Good that you sent a screenshot. When asking for support it is good to provide some details such as miner version and OS (Windows or Linux). GPU and pool can be relevant too.  

[BigHarryArmsi]

Also make sure that the .bat file is in the same folder as miniZ.exe.

Cheers!

yes thank you again but not getting it done. sorry

yes thank you again but not getting it done. sorry

Hi BigHarryArmsi,

just noticed that I wrote -cd 3 in the last message. Just delete that, maybe this is the problem now. (This was selecting GPU 3)
Sorry about this!!

** Edit ** Just in case you are doing something else. Once you have the bat file you will only have to doubleclick on it (the bat file) to run miniZ.  


Should be like this:

Code:

miniZ.exe --pers=BitcoinZ --url t1h7WGHNLx8hY97UerETfDPVfVj9QqNM94d.n3@mine-btcz-na.equipool.1ds.us:50063 --log --extra --pass minpayout=4000

If it does not work, can you let us know some more details? How are you trying to run it? In the command shell? What is the error message?

Thanks.
Cheers

You are welcome! You know the miner is still crushing often so I had to use "Restart on crash" program to monitor it crashes and restart it. Even with that I still prefer your miner because the hash rate ave very good compare to others. Other miners are not crashing on the same algo and on different algos as well, so it is not the system/drivers/videocard issue. )

Hi supervitek,

We would like to understand what is causing the crashes.
Can you give us some more details?
1. Do you get any error message? If you have a logfile or can send a screenshot it can be helpful.
2. Do you run miniZ in one 1060 3GB? Or does it crash with other GPUs as well?

Thanks!

Hi BigHarryArmsi,
let's see if we can help a bit more.

First, check if you have this (and only this) line in the bat file. As you see in the screenshot https://i.ibb.co/dL2cWy9/help.png (top window)

Code:

miniZ.exe --pers=BitcoinZ --url t1h7WGHNLx8hY97UerETfDPVfVj9QqNM94d.n3@mine-btcz-na.equipool.1ds.us:50063 --log --extra --pass minpayout=4000

Please check that no '>>' are in there in the begining of the line. If you have the '>>' there, just delete them and save.
Then try again.

Second, check you have a folder with the two files: miniZ.exe and miniZ_btcz.bat. As you see in the same screenshot (bottom window)

Finally, doubleclick on miniZ_btcz.bat.

Tell us what happens now.

Cheers

** edit ** Too open the bat on notepad, just right click on the file and chose 'Edit' from the menu.

FYI - Been Testing this out on a gtx 1660 ti.  Using specifically a MSI Gaming X 1660 ti on windows 10 to equipool (zelcash).
Getting a solid 41 sols on only 85 watts, or 43 on 96 watts.
Just thought i would share results.

Thanks

Hi thereal35,
we really appreciate your report on gtx 1660 ti. 
It's good to have some numbers for that GPU.

Hi MadOptiX,

It seems that you are using Windows Cuda 10 version, right?

Looks that you need to increase the pagefile by 16-20GB (maybe more...)
For example, you can see how to manage this here.

Your problem seems to be similar to this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4767892.msg49140611#msg49140611 (from thereal 35), but with way more GPU

Let us know if this worked.
Cheers

[MadOptiX]

8gb RAM, 90112Mb pagefile SSD, Cuda10.0 driver - 417.01, coin algo - 144.5
If mining only 18gpu - NO problem, set disable any 2card(-cde) from 20 card
>18 gpu - error

Hi MadOptiX,

seems that ~90GB is not enough. You will need to increase a bit more. (Try ~100 it might work)
Windows reserves more memory than what is effectively required by the miner.

Keep us posted.

Yes, and thank you again for offering to help. After a very long nap I decided to give this another go, miniZ. The (>>) you see were just arrows to point to what I have in my .bat file. The question no one seems to be able to answer for me is how do I get this .bat into the exe file?? I have a notepad here with the correct .bat file on it and need to put it into a folder with the .exe but no one can tell me how to do that. I created a new "folder' (yippee) now how do I put this .bat file into it and where do I get the miniZ.exe? Sorry to take so much of your time but the downloads were too minimal for an ignorant old fk like me. update... so I now have the .bat file in the new folder but where does the .exe come from?
final update... well praise God! with the help of my loving Filipina wife we figured out how to get this done. Hashing ~4% over Gminer on a 5x6gb 1060 + one 1080 rig. Now to tune it and put it to work on the other 4 machines. Thank you for your patience.
update... any way to add an auto restart to this file? thank you!

Hi BigHarryArmsi,

it's great that you managed to get such lovely help and got miniZ running! 

Just to see if we understand exactly what you want, can you specify better what you mean by 'auto restart'?
Do you mean a restart of the miner when it exits/crashes? In this case you can change the bat file to:

Code:

:loop
miniZ.exe --pers=BitcoinZ --url t1h7WGHNLx8hY97UerETfDPVfVj9QqNM94d.n3@mine-btcz-na.equipool.1ds.us:50063 --log --extra --pass minpayout=4000
timeout /t 5
goto loop
