Hi daem0n,
we checked the download links and we found no problem.
They work just fine.
Could you be more specific to which links you are referring to?

Hello, I believe I found a regression that explains why my 1060s were running slower on newest versions.
Two of my cards have poor thermal performance and run hot. I have noticed that on one of my rigs MiniZ runs the hot cards in a different algorithm configuration (the vram usage is higher and the wattage is lower). However, in the other of my rigs, it runs the wrong card in this "hot mode".
If I am correct in understanding how MiniZ works, on this rig my hot card is getting thermally limited by the drivers (and running unoptimally) while simultaniously a cool card is getting limited by MiniZ, running unnecessarily low wattage.
Hope this helps

Hi 1ncehost,
sorry for the late reply.
Thank you for letting us know.
miniZ requires 2.7Gb of memory to run at full speed, but on Windows the cards may run sub-optimally (specially the 3Gb cards, which are close to the limit value) because the OS drivers consume more memory. If this happens miniZ runs a different mode (usually mode 2 for GTX 1060 3GB). This problem should not happen in Linux.
Cheers
For your reference, I am running Ubuntu 18.04 systems with CUDA 10.
Hi 1ncehost,
Thank you for the feedback.
Check the new version v1.0j! Check also cuda 8.0 variant.
If you can, do let us know if the new v1.0j resolves the problem.
Cheers

Hi everyone,
Thanks everyone for all your support and feedback!
There is a new miniZ miner version v1.0j!
* Speed improvement up to ~4%, depending on GPU.
* Current/average power added to console and log/output file.
* Current/average total power added to console and log/output file.
* Added accepted share efficiency per GPU, expressed as a percentage (Accepted Shares/Total Shares * 100)
* Added --shares-detail option to show accepted/rejected shares per GPU, instead of accepted share efficiency.
* Added --log-delay option to define the time to wait (in seconds) before starting periodic writes to the log/output file.
* Added --log-period option to define the time interval (in seconds) between periodic writes to the log/output file.
* Added --f11 option for small tuning. (see Usage page)
* Windows Cuda 10.0 version (excluded Cuda 9.2).
* Bug fixes.
Hive OS support @ https://miniz.ch/2018/11/29/hive-os-support/
Like the previous version, we added support for RTX 20xx GPUs. If you happen to try miniZ on these GPUs, give us feedback so that we can keep improving the miner.
Use Cuda 10.0 versions with the RTX GPUs. Other GPUs should perform better with Cuda 8.0 versions.
For more information, download, and support check the website: https://miniz.ch/

Happy mining!

Heads up,
I couldnt get this Miner to successfully run my 6x1070 rig.
Turns out that the 16gb Virtual memory i had set on Windows was not enough.
Bumped it up to 18gb (18432) and it was able to start mining.
It actually seemed like it wasnt going to run, and eventually fired up.
I think i need to bump up to at least 20gb virtual mem, but do not have that available on this rig.
Im going to hook up another SSD and set the virtual mem to it instead.
I had the same issue trying to run another miner (BEAM).
even though i have 8gb ram and all 6 GPUs have 8gb, the virtual memory was not enough on my system to run it.
(A 60gb ssd in windows does not hold up over time)
hope this helps someone.

thank you for sharing your findings with everyone.
Indeed page file needs to be set to high values. To be on the safe side, the best is to set it approximately to the sum of all GPUs memories.
Others have also shared some thoughts/experiences on this matter. See:

will you be creating a windows cuda 10 version?
Hi alucard20724,we can add that if it is really necessary. Why would you need a windows cuda 10 version for?
Cheers
I/s refers to iterations per second. This is roughly half the Sol/s (1 Sol/s = 0.5 I/s), since each equihash iteration/run generates aproximately, on average, 2 solutions. This value can vary but the most probable values range ~0-4 (but can be more). This is why I/s generally stabilizes faster than the Sol/s value, and the latter should always be compared after a few hours.

Hi MiniZ,
Your miner is closing with an error, any idea where can I check what kind of error is happening?
I tried to use it on 2 1050 Ti cards and it is always closing after 20-30 mins. I updated the system to a last driver - no success. I used 9.2 and 8 versions - same problem.
Also if I set --intensity 80 (any intensity) the miners stuck like this:
Thank you!
P.S. This is how it stuck:

thanks for reporting this.
Does this problem happen only when using the intensity?
To rule out a possible bug with intensity option we suggest to run miniZ without setting this option. Let us know how did it go.
We also suggest you to use the nocolor option (v1.0i++), for a cleaner console output. v1.0h does not have the nocolor option implemented.
However, you can use another console. We tried ConEmu terminal emulator and it worked fine. There are others available, which should also work OK.

I have GTX 1060s running at half power and stock clocks. H was the fastest build on them. "I" ran about 5% slower and i++ ran slower still. The time sample size for i and i++ could be small enough to not be meaningful (I didn't run I for long), but the sample size between H and I++ was meaningful. H was considerably faster than I++.
That is interesting, one of my card in a RIG is 1060 3 Gb and "I++" is faster than "H" (I tried H cause I have non stop closing of the program with no error message in about 20 mins - 1 hour).

Hi 1ncehost, supervitek,
Thanks for reporting this. That is interesting. We tested on a 1060 3Gb, v1.0i++ (https://miniz.ch/features/) is significantly faster than v1.0h (https://miniz.ch/2018/11/30/my-sol-s/).
There is some variability since these values depend on brand, temperature, stock/OC settings...
We are working on a new version that should be faster than both v1.0h and v1.0h
Cheers
