New MiniZ v1.5t3: Download Nvidia CUDA GPU miner for Windows

A new version of miniZ 1.5t3 for Equihash-based algorithms has been released, providing improved performance for Equihash 125.4 (ZelHash) used by ZEL and Equihash 150.5.3 (BeamHashII) used for mining BEAM.

Support for Equihash 125.4 (ZEL) is significantly improved for various GPUs – up to ~ 11% (1660 Ti) and ~ 8% (RTX 2070).
Equihash 150.5.3 (BEAM) support brings significant improvements of up to ~ 3-4% for the GTX 1660 Ti, RTX 2070, and minor for other GPUs.
The new version also improves the handling of pool connections.
The recently added —ocX option to automatically configure the best kernel for your GPU and OC settings (currently only for 125.4 and 150.5.3).

Please note miners are often marked as malware by antivirus programs. This is not so, they are marked simply because they are cryptocurrency miners. If you do not trust the software, do not use it!

Changelog: 
+ 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. (At the moment for 125,4 and 150,5,3 only) 
+ Added @algo@, @date@, @version@, @user@, and @host@ macros to log file name. + Write for ex. --logfile @algo@@date@@version@.log in the command line. Improved stability. 

^*  For stock settings. These may vary with OC settings. For example the RTX 2070 in ECOs improved >4% for Beam.

Usage miniZ miner

For updated information, check out a specific topic on the FAQ page. (Usage & FAQ).

To run miniZ Equihash miner on Linux: open a console window and enter:

 	
./miniZ --url=username@server:port

On Windows: run the CMD shell (CMD.exe) and type:

miniZ.exe --url=username@server:port

username – On Windows: start the CMD shell (CMD.exe) and type: Replace the username with your username in the pool. Usually this is the address of your wallet, depending on the pool.
server:port – port at the pool address and port number. Ex. mine BTG in
- 2miners: --url=walletaddress.worker@btg.2miners.com:4040
- Ex. to mine BTG in suprnova: --url=username.worker@btg.suprnova.cc:8866

More about the parameters:

./miniZ --help
./miniZ -h

Examples

To mine BTG with all GPUs, in btgpool:

./miniZ --url=GdkQGJmbdvx2UBRhomUAXwdUbKJySXzubo.worker@eu.btgpool.pro:3857

To mine BTG with GPU 0 and 2, in 2miners, port 4040:

./miniZ -cd 0 2 --url=GdkQGJmbdvx2UBRhomUAXwdUbKJySXzubo.worker@btg.2miners.com:4040

Same as previous, but specifying a second pool+user+port:

 	
./miniZ -cd 0 2 --url=GdkQGJmbdvx2UBRhomUAXwdUbKJySXzubo.worker@btg.2miners.com:4040 --url=myuser.worker@btg.suprnova.cc:8866

To mine BTCZ with GPU 0, 1 and 2, in equipool, with SSL, worker worker:

 	
./miniZ -cd 0 1 2 --url=ssl://YourWalletAddress.worker@mine-btcz-euro.equipool.1ds.us:50066

Same as previous but with alternative command line arguments:

./miniZ -cd 0 1 2 --user YourWalletAddress.worker --server ssl://mine-btcz-euro.equipool.1ds.us --port 50066

To mine BTCZ in 2miners, port 2020, and BTG in suprnova, port 8817, with GPU 0 and 2:

To mine BTCZ in 2miners, port 2020, and BTG in suprnova, port 8817, with GPU 0 and 2:

To mine MNX with GPU 2, choosing two pools – solopool, port 2020, and minexpool, port 3333:

Console output

Since it is important to have feedback while using miniZ, some information (speed, GPU temperature …) will be displayed in the console window.

First, you will see a heading listing the values of the command line parameters. Although miniZ will warn you of common errors, it would be nice to confirm that everything is correct.
