Hi! Thanks for the new release!
I am still not able to get the --quit-disconnect to work. When the stratum disconnects, miniZ just hangs.
I also tried to use the --jobtimeout=10 to see if it will help force a disconnect and terminate in case the pool isn't disconnecting. (...)
Hi guytechie, Thanks a lot for the feedback! The --quit disconnect was not working if the pool was down right from the beginning. When the pool is down and we start miniZ it can take a bit longer to log a warning/error message. It was hanging a bit longer trying to resolve the connection, and then was giving an error message. Could this be what it was happening? Otherwise it was working well here. We added a version (v1.7x4 here) with improvement for the --quit-disconnect option that allows the pool to disconnect at the beginning. Could you try it out and see if it resolves the issue? Cheers, miniZ It is working now! Thanks!

I stated too early. It works as far as disconnecting correctly, but it would start giving stale shares after a while (zpool.ca on 192,7). Not sure why. Happens in Windows and Linux both using latest drivers. Not OC'd.

Other pools, e.g. NiceHash are working with miniZ GPU is a GTX 1660 Super 6GB Hi UselessGuru, Thank you for your message! For now you need to add stratum1 to the url, in the command line: --url=stratum1://YourWallet.Worker@prohashing.com:3339 In the next release this will not be necessary anymore. Cheers, miniZ

Hi guytechie, The stales might be related to ocx, we will investigate. For now, if you know in advance what is the best mode, it is best to just add it to the command line using --mode. Thank you for the feedback! Cheers, miniZ

Hi,
we need (or is there already?) a way to specify the workername, especially important for Ethash and all ProgPow algorithms. MiniZ seems to always use the current machine name and add it to the username. This works for some, but not for all pools.

Update: Nevermind, they seem to be stale shares invalid job I'd. But it still stays 100% and green.

Hi rainbowminer, We are not sure we understand your question. You can specify the worker name. Generically the command line is, for example: miniZ.exe --url=YourWallet.Workername@PoolServer:PortNumber --log --extra Does this help? You can find more specific examples in out FAQ page. Cheers, miniZ

Update: Nevermind, they seem to be stale shares invalid job I'd. But it still stays 100% and green. Hi guytechie, Regarding the oc options, it is best to clarify that the ocx option runs a few available miniZ kernels and chooses the one that performs best. Then --oc1 or --oc2 (not ocx1 or ocx2!) will set a specific kernel mode for the GPU, these kernels were found to perform best under certain oc settings. It may work for you, but if you feel that it is not optimal for your settings you can run ocx. Regarding the stale share issue, could you paste here your command line? Are you running miniZ with --cleanjobs option? If you are getting too many stale shares we need to check it out. Thanks! Cheers, miniZ

It is better with --cleanjobs and stales=99. However, it doesn't report the hashrate on zpool's dashboard for some weird reason.

Generically the command line is, for example: miniZ.exe --url=YourWallet.Workername@PoolServer:PortNumber --log --extra Does this help? You can find more specific examples in out FAQ page. Cheers, miniZ The problem is, if I have a wallet with "." or an email address. This happens for MiningRigRentals, for example. We need <username>.<mrrrigid> as wallet there. Another case is, if you need to use an eMail address for auth to a pool. miniZ seems to think, the Workername starts after the first "." it finds. So, either, you allow using url-encoded characters, or you use everything after the last dot, or you come back to separate username / workername parameters.

Hi guytechie, It is better not to use --cleanjobs. It works on very few pools and with the last version of miniZ there is no benefit in using it. It can cause high number of invalid shares. We will remove this option on the next version. Could you try again without this option and let us know if the issue is solved? We are not able to reproduce the same problem. Thanks! Cheers, miniZ

Hi miniZ,
i have slower speeds on my testcard GTX970 mining beamhash3. At version 1.6v3 i get up to 9 hashes, but all newer versions i only get around 4 - 5 hash. I run --ocX several times, but it stands on 4 -5 hash.

Hi guytechie, Indeed it looks better, but it would be necessary a long term statistic to understand if the number of stale jobs falls within an acceptable range of values. We suggest you to run miniZ with --show-shares to show submitted/stale/rejected shares. We'll continue to investigate this. (You're mining to zpool.ca right?) Thank your for the update! Cheers, miniZ

Hi sxemini, Thanks for letting us know. We may have changed the kernel without realising that it was affecting those GPUs. Could you let us know which kernel was miniZ running with your GPU, with version 1.6v3, when you got 9 hash? You can use --show-mode to see this information in the log output. Cheers, miniZ
