Download miniZ v1.6v5 (Fast Nvidia Equihash Miner)

miniZ is a fast and friendly Equihash <144,5> BeamHash III <150,5,3> <125,4> <192,7> <210,9> <150,5> <96,5> Cuda miner.

  * Supports mining all Equihash <144,5> (BTG, BTCZ, XSG, LTZ, BZE), <150,5> (GRIMM), BeamHash III, <150,5,3> (Beam), <192,7> (ZER, SAFE, GENX, VDL, ZERC, ANON), <125,4> (ZEL), <210,9> (AION) and <96,5> (MNX) cryptocurrencies.
  * miniZ is compiled for Linux and Windows.
  * Requires minimum 2GB GPUs. Ex. GTX 1050 2GB.
  * Cool console output and telemetry monitoring.
  * Supports most mining pools.
  * Developer fee is set to 2%.

For the Ampere architectures (RTX 30 series) you need to use Cuda 11.1 versions.

In version – miniZ v1.5u – we have stopped Cuda 8 support. If you use older miniZ versions: for Turing architectures (16xx series and RTX) you need to use Cuda 10.0 versions.

miniZ v1.6w2
* 192,7 major improvements: ~2-11% depending on GPU. Turing GPUs, and 1050 Ti, have the largest improvements.
* Reduced invalid shares on 192,7.
* Added 2GB kernel for 192,7 (Linux/Windows7).
* Added 3GB kernel for 192,7 (Windows 10).
* Added 2GB kernel for 144,5s (beamhash3) (Windows7).
* Added experimental support for Ampere GPUs. (Use Cuda 11.1 version.)

When adjusting your GPUs OC settings do not forget to check if your GPU supports oc1/oc2. It may boost your performance a little.
–oc1/oc2 may have changed for some GPUs and algos in the new version.

From miniZ v1.5u –ocX option can be used in all algorithms, for automatic tunning of the best kernel for your GPU.
