I will look their new Github repo and compare the checksums.

Awesome Miner uses the official PhoenixMiner 5.5c ZIP-file as a base. Then we add their two "nvrtc" libraries to the ZIP-file to ensure our users doesn't have to ensure all dependencies manually. For this reason, all files like PhoenixMiner.exe are identical to the official PhoenixMiner release. The ZIP-file is however a bit larger as it also includes two more dependency libraries (resulting in a different checksum for the entire ZIP-file).

Update: I've verified the files on the new PhoenixMiner Github page:
https://github.com/PhoenixMinerDevTeam/PhoenixMiner/releases/
All matches their official release 5.5c they made in January, also included in Awesome Miner.

There are no plans to block PhoenixMiner in Awesome Miner. If someone want to use another mining software, please feel free to do so.

Based on the PhoenixMiner thread here on BitcoinTalk it sounds more and more like Nicehash overreacted.

I'm getting a number of questions about this right now. The only fact we have right now is that the PhoenixMiner account on the download site Mega has been disabled. That could be for any reason. Claymore Miner has also been removed from Mega for example.

Other than that it's difficult to get confirmed information on what happened here. Someone (Nicehash team claiming it's the Phoenix Miner developer, but I don't know if that is confirmed) posted another download link to Phoenix Miner that contained different files. I don't have any first hand information so I honestly don't know.

If you would ask me to speculate, there are at least two possibilities here:

1) It was the actual PhoenixMiner developer that posted the link and the new mining software could contain some virus (very unlikely)

2) Someone pretending to be the PhoenixMiner developer and posted a link to the new mining software that for sure contains virus. Nicehash might have thought it was the official developer and (over)reacted.

I can also point out that I receive e-mail messages every month where someone ask me to include "Gminer 3.0", "Phoenix Miner 6.1" or "Claymore Miner 20.0" or similar, where they provide a link to the download. I never click on any of those as it's obvious what they are trying to do here.

Update: More and more points to scenario #2 above. PhoenixMiner hasn't been compromised. Nicehash overreacted.

With the classic license concept, this is how it works. Each mining instance is counted, even if you run two of them on the same computer. There are no plans to change this so there are not really any solutions except upgrading.

With the more recent license subscriptions we have, any number of mining instances can be added to a computer and it's still only counted as one license.

Hi.

Thanks for the feedback. I did push an update for Gminer on Linux yesterday.

Yes, can you please verify on v8.3.2?

Awesome Miner version 8.3.2

 ASIC mining
  - LED flash for Antminer Z15
 GPU mining
  - Improved reading of AMD GPU information display on Linux
 Features
  - Improved performance when executing commands on a large number of miners
  - Added new predefined rule to make it easier to detect and reboot miners not hashing correctly
 User interface
  - The Profit Profile Properties dialog can be resized to better display all GPU clocking configuration
  - Use blue color in the heat map to illustrate miners with minus degree temperature
  - The page titles of the web interface will include the name of the selected page, group or miner
 Mining software
  - SrbMiner-Multi 0.6.9
 Corrections
  - Correction to Nicehash region when using the Excavator mining software
  - Removed pools (not intended for the profit switcher) from the profit switcher configuration

Thanks for all great suggestions. They are noted.

It was added to this Profit Switching list by mistake, it wasn't intended to be included in this list and I will remove it in the next release. The idea is to simply detect if you are mining on this pool and it would provide the profitability. I will also make a correction to this feature in the next release.

Thanks for the suggestion. Although I agree that it can make sense if you have a really distributed mining setup, I don't think it's that common among users to have their miners spread out across large areas.

Awesome Miner version 8.3.1

 GPU mining
  - Easier to both apply and save the overclocking for a specific miner
  - Allow lower voltage to be set for AMD 5000-series on Linux
  - Added additional coin images
 Features
  - A Remote Proxy (used for large scale mining operations) can be configured to act as a web proxy
 Integration
  - Nicehash pool regions updated. NOTE: If you use Nicehash mining, please ensure the closest region is selected in the Options dialog, Profit switching section, after the upgrade.
 Mining software
  - SrbMiner Multi 0.6.8
 Corrections
  - Correction to display of Nicehash balance for external addresses
  - Correction to log rotation of Remote Agent and Remote Proxy
  - Correction to Remote Proxy automatic miner discovery based on the IP range syntax
  - Correction to a profit switching scenario if a miner recently was converted from a Managed Miner to a Managed Profit Miner

Welcome back and thanks for the nice feedback!

Vega should be able to do at least 40 MH/s although I've not been running any Vega GPUs myself recently. There are a number of mining software (Phoenix Miner, ...) that can mine Ethereum. Have you tested with several of them already and still get this result?

Thanks for the nice feedback. We updated the main web site only hours after the release. In case the old logo was loaded from a cache, please try to press CTRL+F5 to force a refresh. For the cloud web we will soon make the same update.

Hi,

I would recommend you to reboot once, remove the downloaded MSI-file, then download it again and give it another try. There are no recent changes to the installer so there is something else preventing it from running successfully.

Please select "Unspecified Ethereum" as coin for the pool. If it still isn't working, can you please send me the API report for this miner via PM (toolbar: Tools -> API Report). Thanks!

Awesome Miner version 8.3

 User interface
  - New Awesome Miner logo
 Features
  - Open ASIC miner configuration page via the Awesome Miner web interface
  - Heat map boxes in web interface will automatically resize to a bit smaller size for larger heatmaps
 Integration
  - Display of revenue when mining on HiveOn pool
 Mining software
  - Gminer 2.45
  - XmRig 6.9

Thanks for your request. It's currently not supported but I have this on our list of features we are planning to implement.

With the next release you can simply add it as a pool in the Options dialog, Pools section.

The next release of Awesome Miner will automatically display the correct profitability of this pool. Just make sure the coin (in the Properties of the pool) is set to "Unspecified Ethereum" after you upgrade.
