Hi everyone,
A new miniZ version v2.5e2 is out with added support for NVIDIA RTX50XX GPUs.

New version is broken for NVIDIA:

What is the '-weakssl' parameter for the second algorithm? '-dweakssl'? I can not find it documented anywhere.

Thank you!

You can read it on the first page of channel. Right at the beginning.


Nope. Or I am blind.

'-weakssl2' is for the failover pool2

I am lookin for the parameter for the secondary algorithm.

Payouts in BTC

Some remarks about BTC payouts:

How come that automatic payouts can be configured anywhere from 0.0025-5000000 BTC, but Minimum Cashout is 0.0031 BTC?

The minimum 0.0006 BTC transaction fee ist just insane given the current BTC value (~USD 28.5).
Any plans to reduce this to a reasonable amount?

  • Added HTTP headers to json api.

How do I access stat information using the API in v1.8y3?

For older versions I could use (PowerShell based on https://miniz.ch/2018/07/28/trouble-running-miniz/#comment-138):

Code:
        $Request = '{ "id":"0", "method":"getstat" }'
        $Timeout = 5
        $Response = ""
        $Port = 4004

        Try {
            $Response = Invoke-TcpRequest "localhost" -Port $Port -Request $Request -Timeout $Timeout -ErrorAction Stop
            $Data = $Response | ConvertFrom-Json -ErrorAction Stop
        }
        Catch {
            Return $null
        }


All I get now is:

Code:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK



Hi UselessGuru,

Thank you for the feedback.

We added the headers to be more compatible, if the request is http then the answer should also be http.

Try this modification inside your Try {} response code:

Code:
Try {
  $Response = Invoke-TcpRequest "localhost" -Port $Port -Request $Request -Timeout $Timeout -ReadToEnd 1 -ErrorAction Stop
  $Data = $Response.Substring($Response.IndexOf("{")) | ConvertFrom-Json -ErrorAction Stop
}

Let us know if this solved your issue.
Cheers,
miniZ


$Response = Invoke-TcpRequest "localhost" -Port $Port -Request $Request -Timeout $Timeout -ReadToEnd 1 -ErrorAction Stop

gives me

Code:
Invoke-TcpRequest: A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'ReadToEnd'.

I am using PowerShell 7.2-rc5

Please explain. OTP no longer being accepted, or are you unable to genereate OTP token (cause you lost the deive & backup codes)?

In my case MPH no longer accepts my OTPs. Error 'Invalid OTP. 8 attempts remaining. Sync OTP device's time if it's not correct. If you used valid OTP code just before, please wait few seconds and input next OTP code.'

Hi everybody

Any of you have noticed some change in hashrate/consumption with this new beta version?

Also, I would like to ask if someone is using dual mining eth+xvg and could tell me if it is profitable versus ethereum only. I have a rig with mixed 3070 and 3060ti's.

Thanks!!


>>  if someone is using dual mining eth+xvg

Not possible afaik. Readme says:


PhoenixMiner also supports **ETCHash** for mining ETC, **Ubqhash** for
mining UBQ, **ProgPOW** for mining BCI, and **dual mining**
Ethash/ETCHash/Ubqhash with **Blake2s**.



Ethash/ETCHash/Ubqhash with **Blake2s**.

afaik for mining xvg coin it uses the blake2s algo, so ethash + blake2s should be possible?

>> afaik for mining xvg coin it uses the blake2s algo, so ethash + blake2s should be possible?
Nope. Veriblock (VBK) does not use Blake2s. It uses vBlake2.

Does anyone have the Powercolor Red Devil 5700XT using Phoenix 5.5c?
What drivers to use, and what config in Afterburner are the best?

From the last two weeks i got a lot errors in AMD drivers, and the miner closes.

Im with 1880 Memory clock, 1350 core clock and 750w.
I've test with 1860, 1375 and 800w and happens the same.
With drivers 20.12.1, but i test 20.9.1 also and the same problem.

What shoud i do better to resolve this problem?


>>Im with 1880 Memory clock, 1350 core clock and 750w.

1880 mem clock seems way too much, I cannot belive that this worked in the first place,
I cannot go over 1832. Driver version does not matter.
