Hello I was not able to get miniz working with nicehash. Here is the error I receive:

[ERROR  ] Socket Operation now in progress:connect
gethostbyname: Success
[WARNING] Cannot connect to stratum+tcp pool, reconnect in 60 seconds!

Here are my launch options:
miniZ --url mybtcaddress@stratum+tcp://zhash.usa.nicehash.com:3369 --pers auto

Also tried some other pers options and region servers with the same results.

Hi 1ncehost,
    Try:

Code:

 miniZ --url mybtcaddress@zhash.usa.nicehash.com:3369 

;-)

Cheers

Good day good day, miniZ. I've been happily running v1.2m on 144_5 for weeks now and have seen all the updates come along without any mention of speed upgrades for 144_5. Any reason I should upgrade as I see these upgrades have been targeted to other algos…. Thanks again for the good work.

Hi BigHarryArmsi,
Good to know that 1.2m is running stable for you.
For the 144,5 (1.3n release) there is no improvement in performance.
The 1.3n release has been updated regularly with some fixes, and additional improvements that could affect all algos but if it is running smooth for you it should be OK.
Cheers

just switched to 1.3n5 and found a decrease of 40w across the rig with no drop is hashrate. amazeballs!

Very interesting.  I upgraded also and actually saw zero drop in wattage on my 8-card rig.  I know, I know, it's because i'm using Win10!      Which version did you switch from?

dunno been afk a couple of days and it was running on mmpOS.

Finally! miniZ has been added to HiveOS.

Hi  2h4u and miniZ community,
this is great news.
Thanks for your support.

Hi miniZ dev.

Been running 1.3n5 version for a few days, and it happens that miner just crashed without error after a 1 day of mining, last time it was after 1 day and 6 hours.

Same settings for all cards.

[MineOrDie]

I get very high LA on lower PL. On 70 it's normal, but on 60 it's above 6 again.
Can you look into it?

[MineOrDie]

Let's hope they are working on some new optimizations.

[FFI2013]

I tried mining beam on nicehash with 1060 3gb on hiveos and get couldn't allocate 2940 of memory but have no issues with miner I would like to run miniz seems like the rates are better

[Divinity666]

How do I make miner restart after gpu failure? It simply exits and thats it

Scroll few pages back, I had a same problem.

[miniZ]

3n4 much more stable than 3n5

Hi ltxminer,
    Regarding the GPU errors, both versions should have similar stability, but the tolerance to the OC settings may change.
Did you get more GPU errors, or something else?
Cheers

Hi hogwash.89m,
Thanks for reporting this. If miniZ exits without any error message it could
be related to some unusual connection problem with the pool, we are going to have a look.

Hi MineOrDie,
We tried to improve the LA in the last version, we are not sure if we can make it much better but we will look into it again.
When you decrease the PL the nvidia driver gets more overloaded and the CPU usage goes up (you can check that it is the nvidia driver eating the CPU, not miniZ).
Yes we are working on optimisations ;-)

Hi FFI2013,
miniZ should work fine on HiveOS with your card, but 3GB memory is very tight for our solver.
As MineOrDie suggests, you can look in our thread around here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4767892.msg50829052#msg50829052
If you don't manage to solve the problem, feel free to ask for more help.
Thanks for trying miniZ!
Cheers.
