Will the BeamHashII miner support auto-switching to new algo at pre-defined block height on pools that will also support the auto-switch?

Hi garak,

in principle yes, we will work on it.

We should have done that for ZEL.

Cheers

ZEL? Or BEAM? I was referring to BEAM...

Hi garak,

in principle yes, we will work on autoswitch for Beam new algo.

Hi miniZ.
It looks like the SSL certificate on the web site miniz.ch has expired today.

Is it possible to make miniz able to mine zelcash with 1060 3Gb cards in windows 10?
All my mining rigs running win 10...
Thank you for your great work.

GTX 1060 3GB mining BEAM = Problem

[FATAL ] CUDA: failed to alloc 2924 MB for main data

Segmentation fault.

I tested it on Gminer 1.49 and it worked.

miniZ is the best miner, if you can fix the bug, thank you.

Hi everyone,

ZelCash will undergo a mandatory network upgrade - Kamiooka - @ block 372 500, estimated: 3rd july 2019. More info here.
Check the block height: https://explorer.zel.cash/

miniZ just released version v1.4o that supports the new algo 125,4 - ZelHash. You need to update miniZ to get ready to mine ZEL!

Download here.

Also, to mine 125,4 you need to add --par=125,4 to your command line.
miniZ will not switch automatically for the new algo. You will need to restart the miner. Be sure to add --par=125,4 to your command line!

Command line example, for Windows:

Code:

miniZ.exe --par-125,4 --url [email protected]:50053 --log --extra

For additional information check our Usage or FAQ pages.

In case you need any help, please leave us a message.

Happy mining!

Hi garak,
We just tested (one more time

) mining beam with the RTX270 and it works fine for us.
Are you using the miniZ compiled for cuda 10?
You can check the version like this:

Code:

miniz@rig2:/tmp$ ./miniZ --version
************ miniZ v1.4o ************
miniZ v1.4o @ cuda v10.0, Jun 30 2019 18:50:12

If you are using miniZ compiled for cuda 10, could you show us the beginning of the program output?

Cheers

My bad! Had cuda 8 by mistake!

Sorry to waste your time.

Thank you.

Hi garak,
no problem at all.
Glad that you made it work.
We may reorder the download table. It seems that it can be confusing.

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for your support!

miniZ version v1.4o is out! You can find new miniZ v1.4o v1.4o here.

Main new features are:
* Added support for 125,4 (ZelCash).
* Added support for 210,9 (Aion). (Testing!)

Equihash 125,4:
* GTX 1050 Ti 4GB ~ 12 Sol/s
* GTX 1060 3GB ~ 20.3 Sol/s
* GTX 1070 Ti 8GB ~ 39.3 Sol/s
* GTX 1080 8GB ~ 40.0 Sol/s
* GTX 1080 Ti 11GB ~ 54.2 Sol/s
* RTX 2070 8GB ~ 44.8 Sol/s

Equihash 210,9 (Testing):
* GTX 1050 2GB ~ 72.2 Sol/s
* GTX 1050 Ti 4GB ~ 79.7 Sol/s
* GTX 1060 3GB ~ 134.1 Sol/s
* GTX 1070 Ti 8GB ~ 210.7 Sol/s
* GTX 1080 8GB ~ 229.5 Sol/s
* RTX 2070 8GB ~ 254.8 Sol/s

Keep in mind that 210,9 (Aion) is still not fully tested and optimized. We will keep working on it.

For the next release we will
* work on the support for the new Beam algo/fork;
* revise all the currently supported algos to see if we can add some improvements;

* start looking at VDS support.

Happy mining!

Just upgraded from 1.3n5 to 1.4o... Mining BEAM with GTX and RTX cards. Mining does not start on the RTX 2070 cards now with the new version. Can anyone replicate?

Hi garak,
Are you using Cuda 10 version? RTX require Cuda 10.
If you are, which OS are you using?
Cheers

Does 150,5 works on 1060 3gb?

I have 1063x12 rig, it does the 150,5 flawlessy.
Solutions: 1) check that your integrated graphics is turned on 2) or swap your gpu0 to the larger VRAM one.

Thanks, yes this was the problem but as they were remotely located i cant change the bios, i just excluded gpu0 from the miner. Is it possible devs to fix this and to work with no igpu?

Hi zorvalth,
as 2h4u suggested, 3GB memory is tight for our solver. When there are other programs using GPU memory, it can happen that there is no sufficient memory available for miniZ to run 150,5 on 3GB.

In this case you can add --mode0 3 to your command line. This will run GPU 0 in mode 3 (change 0 to n, being n the GPU that is having memory problem). The GPU will run a bit slower than the others but it should work.
You can try first with --mode0 10, it may not work but it is worth to try.

Let us know if this helps.
Cheers

ps: thanks 2h4u for your help!

Thnak you both! mode0 10 didnt work but mode0 3 worked just fine. There is about 13-15% hash lost on first card but thats not a problem.

What does mode do? I dont see it in the website?

Hi zorvalth,
Great that you managed to get it running.
mode option tunes the algo for the GPU memory and model. It is only useful on special cases. We may improve it in the future and add it to the website.
Cheers
