Is anyone else seeing high CPU usage? I have 70% + being used on a quad core, for example. Mining BeamAlgoII

Can't post an image as I apparently still do not have enough cred Cool

On the bright side, the latest version has been completely stable for me and I see maybe 1 rejected share every few days. Great work!

In some rigs, this problem occurs with the latest version of the Nvidia driver. Try rolling back the driver version to an older one.

Hi everyone,
Thank you for your feedback!

You can find miniZ v1.5q6 here.
We made improvements to address some of the issues you have reported.

In brief:
* Performance improvement for 192,7. (Up to 4% on RTX)
* Added --jobtimeout, --retries, --retrydelay for (re)connection customization.
* Added --cleanjobs for miner to only accept clean jobs.
* Better connection handling.
* Bug fixes.

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

Happy mining!

Great job on the perf improvement on 192,7 for both RTX and GTX. I run some RTX 2060 Super and a couple GTX 1660 Ti and the + 4% is real.

This is some serious work you've done here. Kudos!!

PS: didn't see the info about this release on your Twitter

Hi crypt_fr,
Thanks for the feedback!
You are right, we've just posted a Tweet

Cheers

no http or socket api interface , we can't get miner speed, shares, rejected... etc.

Hi cnminer,
How are you trying to connect?

Example (Linux):

Code:

curl --silent rig2:20000 -X '{"id":"0", "method":"getstat"}'

Let us know if you managed to get it work.

If you see high CPU usage, go back to 430.86. Seems a bug in the newest driver.

I tried to update some 7 and 13 GPU rigs and all got instant 100% CPU load with that crap driver. Back to 430.86 and everything is fine again.

Hi joseph32,
thank you for the information, this may be relevant for others!

I guess nicehash fixed their shit, I havent seen another worker error in a while.
I see 40-50% cpu usage on G4400 dual core for 6 1080tis. 70% seems high on a quad core if on all cores

Hi fr4nkthetank,
Thanks you for the feedback!
Good that it works now, did it happen again?

Hi $@X,
thank you for letting us know.
Are you experiencing higher CPU usage in the latest version, when compared to the previous one? Is it happening only with Beam algorithm?
We expected this to be solved already.
Did you noticed a difference with latest driver, as suggested by joseph32?
We keep looking into this.
Cheers

yeah thats pretty much my .bat file setup. I've increased the timeout value a bit (it was 1), see if that helps ill let you know

I put a gpu on nicehash since they still owe me a little coin from the hack a while ago, and got "worker not authorized". Miniz tries to restart the gpus and connection but gets stuck. If I manually close miniz and restart it, it connects. A workaround could be to have miniz shut down when it receives that error so the goto loop in the .bat file could restart the miniz ? If you need I could post a screenshot, i remember getting this error back in the early days of Zcash

Yes, its very annoying these days. Here is the error:

Problem is, in AwesomeMiner I cant catch that error fast enough because Miniz still prints the last Hashrate over the API. So it looks like hashing, but without new accepted shares.

Hi joseph32,
thanks for reporting this.
We will investigate this in AwesomeMiner.
For the next version we will also make sure the miner reports zero hashrate, or a different value, for AwesomeMiner to understand what happened.
Cheers

Hi fr4nkthetank,
thanks for the feedback.

miniZ should exit when that message happens. We will have a look.

Is your .bat file similar to this? :

Code:

:loop
miniZ.exe --url=YourWallet.worker@server:port --log --extra
timeout /t 5
goto loop

Well, I guess --jobtimeout=600(2x default) has finally solved my problems on 2miners pool. I'm mining with v1.5q6 for almost 24hours now and cards never went into idle so far.
