PhoenixMiner 6.2c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)

[infectedmushi]

FFS mate..... you had to quote the whole f***ing OP...?

worse, you didn't asked any question.....

[Bird333]

Hello guys, hello PhoenixMiner.
I try the phoenix miner v2.9e upgrade to 3.0C, I liked it,but He will not Get the value for Hardware control options -cclock -cvddc -mclock -mvddc , which command I set up to do this.
I have amd xfx rx580 8gb gts xxx 8xcard in Rig

Thanks for your reply

[dazmann]

I have a suggestion:

When closing the miner and if you are using it to set clocks and vddc it will reset the clocks and vddc to the standards. What happened to me was that doing it with a 6 GPU and 1000W PSU computer simply crashed due to overload. What I do when I need to close the miner is pause the gpus so they go to idle clocks and vddc and only when most of them are idling I close the miner. Would be interesting to add an option so it will pause the gpus then set the clock back or something that would not make the rig overload due to reseting its configuration all at the same time.

After download, the antivirus software show file has virus ?

That's normal, most of us deal with it by creating a folder for mining programs, and adding that folder as an exception in Windows Defender.

Running 7 AMD gpus. Reported Hashrate is 200.9. At first the hashrate was doing around 190 something but as time pass by it current hashrate get lower and lower. After a day it reported hashrate is still 200 but the current hashrate is 159.2 and average hashrate is 161.

janding and Phoenixminer Team

I want to say that the Phoenixminer will not receive the given commands in .bat file, when I look at Hwinfo i Gpu-z, I still have a higher value than the specified in the .bat file on -mvddc and -cvddc
And just to say when i put those same comand in Clay v11.8 everything is Ok.

Thanks for replay

Are we suppose to be using crimson or adrenaline? I have 8 580s and can mine fine with crimson beta but I can't get any version of adrenaline to work. I am on windows 10 1709. I want to be able to use the bat file for overclocking

phoenix just hangs

For AMD cards use only 18.3.4  version Adrenalin , for Nvidia 391.35 drivers those are the most stable drivers for mining with Phoenix 3.0c.

[53nsk]

well I got it to mine in 1709 with 18.3.4 but now the cards are only mining at 17 each vs 30+ with crimson. (compute) is on

Try to add -altinit to config.

[big_daddy]

anyone here got tested the MSI armor 570 8GB Micron mem with PhoenixMiner 3.0c?

I would like to know the hashrates You got out

[LifeBasher]

Phoenix miner 3.0c work perfectly on my 2 rigs 6 MSI 580 8g gaming x and 6 580 8g v1. Both 185-187 hashrate and stable for more than 200h + and adrenaline 18.5.2 driver. And no parameters to the launcher except Mi and the gt after the auto setting gj guys!!

[duyvu1311]

I don't understand why this miner does not support DubaiCoin. I want to mine DBIX but my rigs often crash when switching DAG.

[odus709]

Please add MOAC coin also!

[agismaniax]

just want to know, is it possible if added a function to monitor the specific amount of rejected and or incorrect share then do restart miner?

[MaxMidnite]

What the plans for the next version, would be intresting to see what more can be done??

[human75]

Please add MOAC coin also!

I agree. please add Moag. as well. thx. in advance.

[teamsorad]

How do you find a certain gpu? according to the readme.....



Additionally, while the miner is running, you can use the following interactive commands
in the console window by pressing one of these keys:
  s   Print detailed statistics
  1-9 Pause/resume GPU1 ... GPU9 (if you have more than 9 GPUs, type 010 for card 10, 011 for card 11, etc.)
  p   Pause/resume the whole miner

I just press a number and it will stop the gpu from mining? The P command works but I can't get individual gpus to pause so I can find gpu 7

Any help would be appreciated

Hi PhoenixMiner

How long to wait for the version for dual mining?

   Depending on what secondary algorithm we do because we once (almost) implemented DCR and it went to non-profitable. It wasn't entirely lost effort but close to it. After finishing the Linux version we will reevaluate the most profitable choices for a secondary coin and then it would take additional month or so. So at least two months in the future.

hi support, i m using 6GPUs RX580 8G,  when i push "y" , why the system prompt the compute mode is not required, what does it meant? is it meant already fully optimize for these GPUS

  Yes. We check if the Compute mode is required by both for each GPU, and the driver. For example, if you are using the blockchain beta driver, the Compute mode is not needed because the huge page mode is already turned on in the driver.

After autotuning, should I just put the found values in the bat file, or could it change from run to run?

I was using -gt 15 for 3 cards (480, 570 and 580) and now autotune found -gt 13,18,16.

  Usually it is good idea to put them in the .bat file (or in the config.txt file, if you are using it). In such case you will need to run auto-tune again if you change the clocks on any of the cards, if you install new version of the driver, or if you try using the alternative kernels (-clkernel 2), as the best -gt values could be very different for the two types of kernels. It is also good idea to check if the -gt values are still the best if you upgrade the GPU drivers or install a new version of PhoenixMiner in the future.

   However if you are restarting your rigs only once a week or so, you can just let auto-tune run at each startup as it takes only a few minutes.

Error fan at 3.0s, how to arrange (1060 card 6g, driver 388.13)

   If you are getting the infamous 999 error, you need to lower the memory overclock by 10-20 MHz.

First, thanks for creating such a great miner.
I don't get it how to make it mine ETC (ETH mining works perfectly). It submitted only a couple of shares to the pool. The rest is just not being submitted. I tried different types of deviding wal/workername/password, trough dot, slash etc. That doesn't seem to be the issue, since some shares were sent.
Can someone help please?
This is how my bat files looks. Another small question, how do I turn off the mining for cards 10+? Most of my rigs have less than that, but I have one rig with 13 gpu.

Code:

REM
REM Example bat file for starting PhoenixMiner.exe to mine ETH
REM

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

REM IMPORTANT: Replace the ETH address with your own ETH wallet address in the -wal option (Rig001 is the name of the rig)
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool etc-eu1.nanopool.org:19999 -wal 0xc51c9c3234db3ed222b389a5ee5d7a2423794ec9/viennatheminersetc/mail@gmail.com -coin etc -amd

pause

According to nanopool documentation, you have to specify the pool like this:

Code:

-wal 0xc51c9c3234db3ed222b389a5ee5d7a2423794ec9.viennatheminersetc/mail@gmail.com

To specify that only the first 9 cards should be used by given PhoenixMiner instance, use -gpus 123456789. To specify the first 11 cards, use -gpus 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11. The only important thing is to use commas (without spaces) to separate indexes if you are going to use 10 or more as an index of a GPU.

I noticed that when exiting, the cards clocks reset to default. I don't want that, is there any way to prevent it?

Also, 3.0 seems a bit slower that 2.9

With all setting equal (launching from bat file) 2.9 gives around 600h/s more with 3 ellesmere cards.

   The clocks are reset when the miner is closing to prevent crashes if you start something else that loads the GPU in different way and the voltage settings are not good enough. Ethash is notoriously tolerant to low core voltage but if you try to run any intensive game or more core-intensive mining algorithm, the GPUs will most probably crash if the settings are left unchanged. It is not that hard to add such option though, and we will add it in the next version, time permitting.

   As for the lower hashrate, please try running both the normal and alternative (-clkernel 2) kernels and run auto-tune with both to see the maximum obtainable hashrate.

When do u wanna support Nvidia OC setting like Claymore ?

   Hopefully in the next release.

- Your -gser param is so magic! It makes my GPUs hang at start-up. Error msg: GPUx not responding!
- if not specify -gt param, my rigs often crash when it is auto-tuning.

   Sorry about this issue. To help us reproduce it and fix it, can you please tell us what -gser option you are using and with what cards/drivers/OS you are using?

Well I use Rx 470/570/480/580 cards.
Latest Amd drivers, never had crashing problems when closing the miner until v3.0C

   We will add option to avoid resetting OC on exit in the next version.

Is there a way to name the rig besides putting it behind the wallet address?  My pool doesn't like that format...

    You can use the -worker option too depending on the pool.

Dear PhoenixMiner Team

So what about core/memory clock/voltage control for Nvidia cards? That is the one thing you should do to become the best solo miner. I guess so. Any idea?

And what about dual mining? Second ASIC-resist coin may be the best choice. Is this real to mine ETH + CryptoNightv7?
