Fantastic. Are you able to confirm phoenixminer.org? Is it legit? It was hosting on OneDrive last week. That is where I downloaded from because the link in this thread was dead.
I checked the shasum from the four executables and .dll that you posted just recently and they are the same.
I'm paranoid because people in this thread said it was not legit. Why is there not more warnings about that site? I'm about ready to wipe my PC and never mine in windows again; only through booting Hive from USB
No, he has said many times that this is not his site.
I also downloaded from there because BitcoinTalk often does not open in my country.
There shasum are always the same as here. (of the exe, dll, EIO and IOMap64 files)
So...It's actually the same, but it comes with a lot of pools bats premade. You just gotta change the wallet addresses and the .config with the ones you want if your main pool is failing to connect. It's a secure site, but it's best to download from GitHub now.
Thanks for the info! Apologies if redundant, I am somewhat new and didn't have time to read all 414 pages
Just trying to mine directly and get rid of Nicehash on my windows PC as it kept crashing. Already switched my 2 rigs to Hive.So then why are people badmouthing phoenixminer.org and spreading rumors if the checksums always match up?
The site is somewhat deceptive with the domain name and that they don't disclose they aren't affiliated, except in very fine print I just found (didn't notice before DL). So I am concerned about their motive. But if checksums match up I should be good I hope (already ran it).
At the first page is now a github link , download 5.5c version from there to be sure.
Avoid all the new posts from other people that have usually only 1 post and that post links for 5.5c or even 5.5d (who is 100% fake).
It is really simple people, use common sense and TRUST ONLY LINKS FROM THE FIRST PAGE!!
For sure. I am able to access them now. To be safe, I am going to delete the phoenixminer.org files and start over. I figured out what they are doing - They have a pre-filled out epools.txt file with their own Ethereum Classic wallets. So I am guessing if you set Phoenix up incorrectly or it loses connection to your pool it will jump to these and start mining for them. I checked my files and this is indeed the case. Screw those guys. We should think of something to get rid of these scammers.
At least the checksums are good so I know I don't have virus or keylogger or something installed and I also lucked out and didn't mine to their address because I used a HiveOn batch file and verified in the display pool it was connected to and I received all my ETH.
THANKS AGAIN
