I am using Windows and my console output is a mess.
When you run miniZ, you have various arguments available that enable you to customize your console output and get the information about what is going on with your mining.
The use of colors makes it easier for the user to check the information (check here to see how it looks like). However, if you are not using Windows 10, it is likely that the console output gets all cluttered and unreadable.
The easiest solution is to use the --nocolor
argument when running miniZ. This will help clean up the console. The downside is that you get rid of colors too.
If you like to have a more colorful output, you should know that you can install another console on Windows. We tried ConEmu terminal emulator and it worked fine. (Helper videos can be found on Youtube, example) There are others available, which should also work OK.
Happy mining!
