How to mine Beam (BEAM)?

From version miniZ v1.6v you can mine the new Beam algorithm – BeamHash III (144,5-siphash) – a new algorithm introduced for Beam mining in the Beam hard fork at block height 777777, on 28 June 2020.

Below, we list a few examples to get you mining Beam with miniZ.

You should check each pool page since the pool may define more than one server and port number.

Normally, you do not need to write --pers Beam-PoW, --par=beam3, or  --par=144,5s  in the command line. However, this depends on the pool.

For more information about miniZ command line arguments, please refer to Usage page.

Happy BEAM mining!

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!
