Hi fistsofgod,
--latency is still working.
Could you paste here your command line so that we can try to see what is going on?
Thanks for reaching us!
Cheers

not sure what was wrong but it is now working

[fistsofgod]

I'm mining some beamhashII and sometimes the miner just stops and restarts (i have it in a loop) and no message why it stopped

Hi fistsofgod,
we are sorry about this.
Does this only happen when mining Beam?

To which pool are you mining and which GPUs are you using?
Probably not related, are you using telemetry?

We will investigate and try to reproduce this.
Thanks!
Cheers

was mining Atomis @ icemining, not sure if telem was on or not, was on 1070, 2070, 1080ti.

Hi fistsofgod,
thanks a lot for the information.
Could you also paste here a little bit of the log just before the crash?

Hi miniZ
I hope that you and yours are well this restrictive time and that you are keeping busy (if in lockdown)

I have a small issue similar to the user above, will DM you, if I may.

thanks.

Hi rgsnedds,

Thank you for your message. We hope you and yours are well too.

We have been preparing a new miniZ version with modifications that may deal with what you and fistsofgod have been experiencing.
However, do let us know if you continue to have this problem with the new version.

We expect it to be out by the end of this week.

Cheers

fantastic news. will watch out for this.

I have trouble using SSL configuration your miner on awesome miner.... can u tell me what command? every pool using SSL I cant configure on awesome miner...
Thanks

Hi ayiphelmy,

When you enter the Pool connection URL add ssl:// to the begining.

Examples
ssl://beam-us.leafpool.com:3333
ssl://btg.2miners.com:14040

Let us know if this helped.

Thank you for posting this question, this may be usefull for other miners too!

Hi everyone,

We hope you are all doing well.

Sorry for the long silence.

We have been working on the new release and are currenlty making final testing.
Hopefully it will be out within two days.

That's great.
Will you add Kawpow algo?

Hi styleshifter,
thank you for your interest!
Kawpow is not Equihash but we may consider it in the future.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your patience! A new version miniZ v1.5t3 is out!  

* 125,4 (ZEL): major improvements for various GPUs. Up to ~11% (1660 Ti) and ~8% (RTX 2070).
* 150,5,3 (BEAM): major improvements up to ~3-4% for GTX 1660 Ti, RTX 2070. Minor for other GPUs.
* Better pool connection handling.
* Added --ocX option for automatic tunning of the best kernel for your GPU and OC settings. (125,4 and 150,5,3 only)
* Added macros to log file name:  @algo@, @date@, @version@, @user@, and @host@.
   Write for ex. --logfile @algo@@date@@version@.log in the command line.
* Improved stability.

Download miniZ v1.5t3 here.

Few notes:
  * When adjusting your GPUs OC settings check if your GPU supports oc1/oc2 (FAQ ). It may boost your performance a little.
    --oc1/oc2 changed for some GPUs, for 125,4 (ZEL) and 150,5,3 (BEAM) in the new version.
     In this new release we added an option for automatic tunning of the best kernel for your GPU: --ocX option. At the moment for ZEL and Beam only.
     For updated and more detailed information read the specific topic on FAQ page.

  * On Download page you can find Cuda 10 and Cuda 8 versions (Linux and Windows).
     For Turing architectures (16xx series and RTX) you need to use Cuda 10.0 versions.
    * We are considering to drop Cuda 8 support in future versions. *

For additional information check our Usage or FAQ pages.
Let us know how it goes!

Happy mining!

Got this with 1.5t3, but only once, what that means? no crashes, no any other messages.

[ERROR  ] Socket write error2.
write: No error

[impynick]

150,5 optimizations (OC kernels?) would be cool

Hi somaton,
Thank you for your question.
The error you report is more like a warning. It seems there was a problem communicating with the pool.
If there are no crashes or other warnings that means the miner managed to proceed with no further problems.
We left this warning because it may help in some cases, for debugging.
There is nothing to worry about.
Cheers

150,5 optimizations (OC kernels?) would be cool  

Hi impynick,
150,5 already has oc1 implemented. Have you tried it already? It tends to improve performance when power is limited, but it depends on OC settings and GPU.
You can see which GPUs support oc1 in "Argument options for tuning performance and efficiency: --oc1, --oc2, and --ocX" FAQ page.
However, in the future we will work on further improving this feature for 150,5.
Thank you for the feedback!
Cheers
