It's the same for me. Still 8+ LA on HiveOS.

Hi MineOrDie,
are you using version 1.3n or v1.3n+?
Cheers

After a reboot it's fixed. I'm on the + version.
Also, can you help me set it up for mining BEAM on 3GB cards because I get "out of memory" errors all the time on Hive OS?

Hi MineOrDie,
good to know that is OK now.
Which NVIDIA driver are you using?
If you run with just one GPU does it work?
Cheers

Latest 1.3n+ still suffer from miner offline in pool just like the previous version. Whatever changes on this version doesn't fix the dreaded offline. Mining on algo 150.5.

Hi ARTRN,
We are sorry about that...
We really want to get rid of that issue, but it is very hard to replicate.
On which pool were you mining?
Thanks.
Cheers

Im also having the same issue as above where the miner is mining locally but shows offline in the pool while mining beam on sunpool.top. Ill try and help any way that i can just let me know how

Hi BIOLERUP4LIFE,
Which OS are you using? And NVIDIA driver?
We made a few modifications and can compile a version for testing. Since you offered your help
Thanks.
Cheers

Im on win10 and using nvidia driver 425.31 although i just noticed today that there is a new driver. So i haven't tried it yet. Hard to catch it when it happens as it has only happened 3 times on 2 separate rigs. Twice on one and once on the other.

Hi BIOLERUP4LIFE,
You can download a testing version (win10, Cuda 10) v1.3n++ here.
Let us know if the problem persists with this one.
Thanks a lot!

I doubt it's the pool. Mining on pool.btc.com. It happened randomly.
Cheers.

Hi BIOLERUP4LIFE, ARTRN,
Thanks. Yes it does not seem to be pool related.
Did you notice an increase in cpu load when it happened?
Cheers

i had a thought on it.. is it at all possible that the devfee might be slightly buggy and sticking - I can't think any other reason why the miner would continue but would go offline from specified pool?

Hi rgsnedds,
It does not seem to be related. This was one of the first things we checked.
It seems to be related whith some changes we introduced with the new algo.
We keep digging.
Thanks.
Cheers

no worries thanks for the response on it. it was the only thing i could think of but if it had been the case then it would have stuck on the 4minute initiation of the devfee, not after 5 hrs . good luck finding the issue.

1. Ok done it. As far as I know, Hive guys already added miniZ to their miners repo and I was told they'll make it public next week.
2. It happens every run. HiveOS, 418.43 drivers, beam 150,5 on the nicehash. The rest of miners I use (gminer/t-rex/ethminer) giving me LA 2-3, tops. Log and LA as follows:

At the top of the top (pun intended) are miniZ and kworker.

Thanks for the info! It is good to know
This has been fixed in the new miniZ version v1.3n+. 
You will need to update your flightsheet: https://miniz.ch/2019/04/26/hive-os-support-6/

Please check it out and let us know how it goes.

Yay! LA is good now.

With 1.3n+ I also have a problem that my worker just disappear from the pool but it keeps hashing on my rig. I will try 1.3++ now.
Also on Windows 10, 6x GTX1060 6GB and a G3930 CPU with version 1.3n+ is still 100% CPU usage.

EDIT: With 1.3++ my LA on Hive OS rig is 5,6+ again.

[impynick]

MiniZ is faster on my 1070s vs Gminer; however Gminer is faster on my 1080ti.

I noticed f11=1 (stock setting I think) is the best one with oc2. I’ve teied “2” and “3”3 and “0” for f11 values and it’s slower on these other values

[ARTRN]

FYI, v1.3n++ still have the same 'losing miner' on pool. Cheers.

Hi ARTRN,
Thanks a lot for your quick feedback.
It looks like you can replicate faster the problem than we do!

Now, we know what it is (the communication with the pool gets into some weird state and the miner
was getting stuck trying to recover). We fixed it, but it still requires testing...
This stage will be much faster with some extra help

The miniZ v1.3n++ testing version (Win 10, Cuda10) was updated. You can download from our Download page https://miniz.ch/download/
We did not change the version name, so check you have the right build with miniZ.exe --version
It should be Apr 28 2019 12:28:20

We think we got this one. Testing it still.

Hi MineOrDie,
Thanks for keeping us posted.
We did not update the Hive OS package yet.
We are currently testing and looking into it. (we think we got the offline issue already)

Hi impynick,
Thanks for reporting this.
Could you share your hashrate and OC values for those GPUs?

miniZ - I have this latest version running on my 3 rigs right now. The CPU utilization is a little better on my two Celeron rigs (74% and 89% instead of 100%).  I'll let you know how it goes.

[sharmanov]

Hi everyone,

Again, tanks a lot for your feedback!

There is a new miniZ version v1.3n+ for you to download.

 * Reduced CPU usage to background levels.
 * Better invalid share detection.
 * Ignore pers auto for 150,5.
 * Fixing issues with worker going offline.
 

I and 2 of my mining buddies can confirm the 1.3n+ did not resolve the "OFFLINE WORKER" issue as it is still happening. I really hope you guys get to the bottom of that issue soon. Thanks

Just fired up the new version now. Ill let you know how it goes. it was consistently failing every 6-10 hours. If you don't mind me asking what did you find going on?

Hi sharmanov, BIOLERUP4LIFE,
Thanks for all the feedback.

We think we got it  now, sometimes (not often) the communication with the pool gets into some weird state and the miner
was getting stuck in a loop trying to recover. We fixed it, but it still requires testing...

For now, we made available a miniZ v1.3n++ testing version (Win 10, Cuda10).
You can download from our Download page https://miniz.ch/download/

To check if you have the right build run miniZ.exe --version

Well I added one more + to the link, and it downloaded something that is apparently the ++ version, so yeah...

v1.3n+ and v1.3n++ (beta build, Apr 28 2019 12:28:20) CUDA 10 versions doesn't work on sparkpool, see picture above.
Sparkpool is displaying that there are too many rejected shares, but it's not reporting it back to miner, so in miner it looks good, but on poolside >95% of shares are rejected (or stales).

Then I left it to mine on leafpool and it keeps mining fine for more than 8 hours.
Only thing I noticed is that at some point it hits 100% CPU usage and stays like that, I need to investigate this more.

CPU: Celeron G3930 (@2.90 GHzm 2C/2T)
RAM: 4 GB
Virtual Mem.: 64 GB
GPUs: 1x 1080ti MSI Gaming
         5x 1080  inno3d twin X2

OS: Windows Server 2016 (version 1607, OS Build 14393.2273)
Nvidia driver: 419.17 (CUDA 10.10)

MSI Afterburner (for OC): 4.6.0   -> noting this as it can be cause of 100% CPU usage, because on 1080ti fanspeed readings in miniZ console becomes 0%, maybe there are conflict between querying Nvidia-SMI stats from miner and Afterburner, idk.

Hi, miniZ v1.3n++ testing version (Win 10, Cuda10) Apr 28 2019 12:28:20 so far so good.
It's been running close to 4 hours without fail.
Cheers.
