Re: miniZ, a new fast and friendly Equihash <144,5> Cuda miner.
Just wanted to give you a update on this post and to correct a error in it. I indicated that it worked with a 348.111 driver.
I have now corrected that post to show it is the 384.111 driver that it works with.
When I posted, it was late for me and I was pretty tired at the moment.
My sincere apologies for taking so long in recognizing the error.
I just discovered it now as I was viewing your website looking to see what version Cuda you are compiled with and noticed the 348.111 statement.
I sincerely hope this error has not caused you or anyone any difficulties. From what I can see here, no one has mentioned anything about it and it is very unlikely anyone would be using a driver that old for mining anyway.

Hi Overdrive5, thank you for letting us know! As you wrote "no one has mentioned anything about it and it is very unlikely anyone would be using a driver that old for mining", so we do not think that caused any trouble.
We corrected both the website (https://miniz.ch/features-miniz-equihash-1445-miner/) and the post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4767892.msg43081625#msg43081625)
So what version Cuda are you compiling with?
I am in the process of compiling/testing both 390.87 & 410.73 drivers and I now am seeing a slight Sol rate increase between a competitor's cuda 8.0 and cuda 9.1 versions.
So I wanted to let you know that if you are compiling with cuda 8.0, you may want to offer a cuda 9.1 or higher version as well.
This may be a piece of the puzzle in improving your Sol rate even further.
Hope this Helps

Windows release is compiled with Cuda 9.1 already.
Linux version is compiled with Cuda 8.0. We've tried Cuda 9.1 but did not see much difference, so for sake of compatibility with older systems we will keep Cuda 8.0. But, if we see that it is holding us back we'll change, of course. Thanks for the tip!
We keep working on improvements. It is likely we'll be able to release an even better miniZ soon.
