Just updated to v2.1 and still running like a dream  wish I could help test some of the other features but I run the miner in a fairly vanilla state just due to the cards I use hahaha. |

Linux support would be amazing. I've got a rig or 2 I'd like to try that on before Eth mining dies. It's already lookinggrim as it is with EIP 1559 and miners threatening a 51% attack haha.
Anyway, yeah you've for sure achieved your goal with Nvidia cards. I'm just simply stunned that the miner is still outperforming PhoenixMiner 5.5c. Granted the difference in speed is miniscule, 122.55 compared to 122.28 but that's amazing to me haha.
As for you fixing the NVML issue that was certainly a QOL update for me. I was tired of having to go find the NVML driver wherever Nvidia put it and then moving that dll to where the miner was expecting it to be. The fact it just knows now made setup very simple.
I could never get -strap working when I tried back when it was first implemented with my cards but I use all Nvidia cards and all Win 10 machines, no AMD.
2 x 1070's
1 x 1080 (With ETH Pill)
1 x 1080 Ti (with ETH Pill)
I've since added 2 3090's to my collection but haven't tried strap with them as I understood for Nvidia it was only 10xx cards supported.
I guess the only cards I could even try -strap with would be the 1070's. I bet it's useless with the 1080 and 1080 Ti given I use Ethlargement Pill for them.

Just reporting back with hashrates.
GPU's are 2 x EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3090's.
Both are capable of roughly 122.5 MH/s using roughly 350-360 watts. I can probably get that lower but haven't been able to do much tinkering yet. It's been a really hot week where I live in Australia and my memory has been getting thermal throttled on the 1st card after it hits 110c. Once we get some cooler weather I should be able to mine at a steady 122+ MH/s but for now even at night, the primary card gets thermal throttled and I can't be bothered replacing the pads, I'll save that for if I decide to watercool them haha.
If I force P0 power state they'll do 125+ MH/s but crash after an hour or so.
The miner is performing as it used to before it died. I'm very pleased with the results. Phoenix Miner is just as good to be fair but I love that I'm able to go back to Claymore with all my config and .bat files I kept saved in case one day he miraculously came back haha.

Let me guess, the card in question is EVGA or Gigabyte and the second one is another brand? Most likely thermal throttling is the case, 3080\3090 are known for that, these 2 brands being the worst (in that case only LOL). Note: it's not the core temp that you see in afterburner, it's memory temp, you'd need utility called HWinFO64 to see it. Download it, take a look at your memory jusction temp sensor reading and you'll most likely see 110-112 degrees Celsius. Common fix is to change thermal pads to good quality ones with 12-17 W/mk (I use these, https://cdn.alzashop.com/ImgW.ashx?fd=f4&cd=CB131w1&i=1.jpg) and do everything possible to improve the ventilation. Both cards are EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3090's. Not using Afterburner but EVGA's Precision X1 instead. 60c is way too low for thermal throttling when I have the temp target set at 91c lol. Did you carefully read what I wrote? Did you download the utility and check your memory junction temperatures? You are still talking about your core temperature which has nothing to do with the issue. My bad, forgot about that. I just used GPU-Z instead as I don't have hwinfo installed on this PC atm and yeah the memory temps are getting seriously high, 110c peak. I've been debating watercooling these cards anyway so perhaps this is a good excuse to get the air coolers off and replace those pads in the process. EDIT. So I just checked the 2nd card and realised it's not that far behind the first one, sitting at 108c on it's memory yet it's still performing way better. |

Hi, hoping for some help with 1 of my 3090's I use for mining. Using v5.5c.
The problem I'm having is as soon as it hits around 60c temp, the performance drastically goes down. For some reason the card stops pulling the usual ~350 watts and only draws ~270 watts after 60c ish temperature is hit. I have a 2nd 3090 which pulls much higher, has no monitors plugged into it and draws around 400 watts. That card will happily go up to 66-67c temps and remains at the 400 watts draw. I'm really scratching my head with the first 3090. It hurts watching it's hshrate go from 120mh to 90mh just because the temp climbs from 56c to 60c lol. Meanwhile the 2nd card doesn't seem to care about temperature and will chug away doing 122mh with 400 watts.
If you need any extra information such as logs, OC settings etc then please let me know and I can provide them.
Yes, a log will be helpful, but first make sure you add the command-line option -hstats 2 to see the actual clocks, and the reason for throttling (we assume that there is throttling involved), and because 60C is too low for temperature-related throttling, it is probably power-related but we need the log for more information. If the card is throttling because of the power limit, you can increase it with this option -powlim +20,0 (the 0 is to leave the power limit of the second card at default value as it doesn't have throttling issues). Hi Phoenix, thanks for the response. I've added in the command line options you suggested and ran the miner for a couple minutes. Sadly the -powlim argument didn't really help. I wasn't sure what the most convenient way of sharing the log would be so I just went ahead and threw it in a pastebin. You can see that here: https://pastebin.com/q780sgsLThe exact cards are EVGA 3090 FTW Ultra's and I'm using EVGA's Precision X1 overclocking software. The OC settings I'm running are the same for each card and they are as follows. GPU: -400 Mem: +1200 Power and Temp target slider is maxed at 119% for power and 91c for temp. The fans are also all set to 100%. |

Yeah it really sucks what has been going on with all of that. If you're interested in learning about what happened, it's all on the PhoenixMiner thread from page 406 onwards. Phoenix put out an official response that you can read in one of the later pages. I've been keeping up with it since the whole drama started haha. The TLDR is NiceHash are back to their shady garbage and PhoenixMiner has not been hacked at all. Just a pure FUD campaign on behalf of NiceHash in an attempt to get people to switch to them in my opinion. Anyway, thanks for uploading to github!  I'll be trying out your mod and posting any issues I encounter but hopefully it'll be pure smooth sailing Absolute legend. |

I only just learnt about this mod to Claymore after it was deleted from mega nz. Is there no other place I can download it from officially? I loved Claymore and used it since around May 2017. Ever since it stopped working because of DAG I switch to PhoenixMiner which is nice but if I could go back to Claymore I would love that. Would be nice to support the mod developer with the devfee pointing to him now as well |

I see. It's from phoenixminer.org, had no idea it wasn't actually his. From memory I downloaded mine from this thread but I no longer have the zip archives sadly, just the contents of them. I can't compare it with phoenix from NiceHash as my NiceHash only has up to 5.4c, not 5.5c.
Ok, no problem. We're looking if anyone can provide latest phoenix that nicehash distributed in their package, so we can compare if they were even distributing a valid version or a virus. Wish I could help. My NiceHash is a bit older and has 5.4c, the plugin refuses to update as well otherwise I'd be happy to share the 5.5c from NiceHash compared with my 5.5c. All I know is the NiceHash 5.4c and the 5.4c from this thread do match. |

EDIT 2. I just checked the download page of the PhoenixMiner website and the SHA1 listed there for the 5.5c download for Windows matches the SHA1 I get in cmd of the .exe file.
C:\Users\Renkyz>CertUtil -hashfile C:\Users\Renkyz\Desktop\PhoenixMiner_5.5c\PhoenixMiner.exe
SHA1 hash of C:\Users\Renkyz\Desktop\PhoenixMiner_5.5c\PhoenixMiner.exe:
11428c3bdf728860fd057c411a95b14e13f05dbc
CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.
What did you compare? Phoenix from nicehash and phoenix from "his" website? Phoenix doesn't have a website. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg55731982#msg55731982I see. It's from phoenixminer.org, had no idea it wasn't actually his. From memory I downloaded mine from this thread but I no longer have the zip archives sadly, just the contents of them. I can't compare it with phoenix from NiceHash as my NiceHash only has up to 5.4c, not 5.5c. I still have my 5.4c downloaded from here and the SHA1 does indeed match the one from my NiceHash directory. But I have no idea how relevant that is given 5.5c is the latest. |

What would be helpful is a shasum of the phoenixminer binary. I am using 5.5c downloaded from this thread a while ago, with the right checksum. This is the linux version. My Phoenix miner binary has:
user@miner$ sha256sum PhoenixMiner
6de6285d944981576862c960dfa917bbd4f72c5fac45f0b2880c560c89f12e81 PhoenixMiner
Just verified on a hiveos install and the checksum is the same for the binary there.
If somebody could do the same for Windows (non-nicehash binary, but 'official' download) we have something to compare the nicehash binaries to. Just an idea
I have the windows version but sadly deleted the zip after I extracted it and all I have is the folder from inside it. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this so is it still possible to get the sha sum? If so please let me know and I can share it. EDIT. Nevermind, I just found out rather easily after a basic google haha. Here's the cmd results: C:\Users\Renkyz>CertUtil -hashfile C:\Users\Renkyz\Desktop\PhoenixMiner_5.5c\PhoenixMiner.exe SHA256 SHA256 hash of C:\Users\Renkyz\Desktop\PhoenixMiner_5.5c\PhoenixMiner.exe: 599393e258d8ba7b8f8633e20c651868258827d3a43a4d0712125bc487eabf92 CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully. I hope that's what you needed. Although I'm guessing not as it's not the zip archive itself but rather the actual miner exe. EDIT 2. I just checked the download page of the PhoenixMiner website and the SHA1 listed there for the 5.5c download for Windows matches the SHA1 I get in cmd of the .exe file. C:\Users\Renkyz>CertUtil -hashfile C:\Users\Renkyz\Desktop\PhoenixMiner_5.5c\PhoenixMiner.exe SHA1 hash of C:\Users\Renkyz\Desktop\PhoenixMiner_5.5c\PhoenixMiner.exe: 11428c3bdf728860fd057c411a95b14e13f05dbc CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully. |

I trust it's basic common sense for everyone to avoid these fake PhoenixMiner 5.5d posts like the plague, you know the ones that keep being posted and then removed super quick.

Anybody got Nicehash installed? Can you please ZIP the entire directory: C:\Users\<Your User>\AppData\Local\Programs\NiceHashMiner Or just the miner if you can find it, and upload to MEGA, https://filebin.net or somewhere? Let's find out what the hell NH did and what checksums they matched. I'll also put the miner through some malware sandboxes. Hi, created an account just to respond to this haha. Not sure how helpful it will be but I have a NiceHash installation I last used in January this year just to compare it with mining Ethereum directly myself. It has up to PhoenixMiner 5.4c only. If this is useful to you then let me know and I can try send it to you. |
