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

[PhoenixMiner]

   CLO is added already (since 3.0c), you just need to specify -coin clo and it will mine the devfee in CLO. As for MOAC - it will be added in 3.5d, which will be released later today or tomorrow morning.

Big thanks. Because it is pretty annoying when devfee switching DAG file 2 times.
P.S. any ideas why this command doesnt work with r9 280x card or it only support Polaris? -cvddc 1050 -cclock 1130 -mclock 1374  -fanmin 100 -powlim -15

   R9 280X uses older version of the Overdrive API, which isn't fully supported by PhoenixMiner. We will add this as well as many other hardware control features in PhoenixMiner 3.6 (and no, it won't take as long as 3.5, which was delayed a few times by some unexpected events).

@Pheonixminer -clgreen 1 works so good with RX 580/570 4gb memory, stable hashrate - lower power consumption , but with 8gb memory RX570/580 if i try this kernel my cards have chaotic hashrate, rig 309 mh/s with standart kernel, if -clgreen kernel 304-307, its normal? Logfile https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G4uknUONcpITDHQfBCJkrRx3HfdWaAPB/view?usp=sharing

   Yes, unfortunately it is not the same with every card. You can try changing (lowering) the core and/or memory clocks a little as this may help with the green kernels hashrate as strange as it seems. Another option is to try -clkernel 2 but it rarely has significant effect whenever the green kernels are used.

All my previous tests was made without clgeen. By the way, it looks like clgreen doesn't work with gfx804 (See 2018.09.17:15:36:36.474).

   You are quite right. So, we will enable the green kernels on gfx804 too.

I'm on Linux and I just noticed Phoenix is slower than Claymore

Hope it's only because Linux version is new

Any advice? mining on NVIDIA

   It is possible but we need more information to check and solve the problem. Please let us know the Linux version, the version of the driver, and what cards you are using.

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04, 396.54, 1060 gtx.

   We are testing with Ubuntu 18.04 now, it works fine with AMD cards. Please note that there is no support for hardware control options (-cvddc, -cclock, -mclock, etc.) under Linux, so you have to set the clocks with some other means.

When turning the rig on and off the hashrate went from 408 to 401.
How is that possible. Is auto-tune that unstable?

   Shouldn't be, we usually get the same gt values every time with maximum 1-2 gt difference between the runs. If you suspect that the auto-tune is the problem, just put the best found -gt values in your config.txt or in the command line.

Shoutout for the Linux version!

I ran a comparison test for ~29hrs between PhoenixMiner and Claymore. Results here: https://forum.hiveos.farm/t/custom-miner-phoenixminer/7391/2

Keep up the great work PhoenixMiner Devs!

   Nice to hear! We are already working on PhoenixMiner 3.6.

how to set -150 GPU Voltage in Phoenix miner, manuali can set in trixx

i have 200W less consumption, 9 AMD cards use 1300W -1350w max elec, moded bios

    You can use the -cvddc command-line option to specify the voltage in mV. For example, -cvddc 850 will set the core voltage to 850 mV.

We are already working on PhoenixMiner 3.6, which will add hardware control for Nvidia cards under Windows, and for AMD/Nvidia cards under Linux, as well some other new features.

PhoenixMiner 3.5d is officially released.

Thank You for Yours work!
I like this miner for its good performance and usability. But a few last weeks I have an issue during its work...When the miner try to connect with the developers pools it report an error and several minutes unsuccessfully try to connect to those servers. As a result - I'm loosing about 5% of my hash power during 24h(
For now I will wait for fixing this problem in my favourite miner (Or maybe I need to change/add some additional command in the miner configuration?).

Great, just for the -leaveoc option, I'll upgrade from 2.9.

[Metroid]

I did a quick test for my friend about this new version, -clgreen reduces 1% power and 1% hashrate, mix of rx 5xx rx 4xx cards, normal standard mode 0.5% faster than claymore and it uses same power. Fan control still lacks understanding, -tt must be target temperature and if temperature was hit then lower fan speed by xx%, if target temperature was not hit then it should be max fan until target temperature is hit and right now is not like that, in claymore this works perfectly.

is anyone mining with 1060 gtx 3gb on linux ? It seems for me they are not working , miner just doesnt do anything - looks like it's not loading up dag , although under linux it's written i got 2.9 gb free. Any one with such issue ? thx

   There are no changes that could affect the devfee so most probably the problem is either with your network connection or with your configuration. From the screenshot it seems that the normal (main) pool connection doesn't work properly (the devfee log lines start with DevFee:, not with Eth:). To diagnose problem further, please send us the part of the log file when the problem has occurred .

   Thank you for trying out the new version. We are working on the hardware control settings and they will be much better in the next release of PhoenixMiner.

   We have tested with 1060 3GB under Ubuntu 16.04 with Nvidia driver 390.67 and there were no problems at all. Please let us know your Linux version, Nvidia driver version, and send us the first few minutes from the log file in order to see what is going wrong in your case.

We have ordered three different RX550 from different makes, hopefully at least one will be with gfx804

Great news! I'm waiting at least 15 Mh/s

   One of the cards turned out to be Baffin again, but the other two are gfx804s! We have found the problem with the kernels, and the hashrate on RX550 will be much more competitive in the next version.

I've been using 18.3.4. drivers for AMD polaris cards and it have been stable for months.
I haven't had any problems with this version unlike beta blockchain drivers.

@PhoenixMiner: I've been getting a number of reports on that PhoenixMiner crashes when launched from Awesome Miner, and it looks like the fact that Awesome Miner starts to make API calls early on is the issue here.

Once the Phoenix Miner is up and running with the mining, the API requests are processed by Phoenix Miner in a stable way, but sometimes when the API requests are processed during the first 20 seconds - the Phoenix Miner process crashes. Is it a known issue that making API calls to Phoenix Miner during the initialization phase can cause these crashes?

Many thanks!

I haven't any problems in the past with phoenix, 3.5d same rock solid 24/7, nvidia rigs, waiting for HW control in 3.6 

[hell_slayer]

Thank you for a new version with a new kernel mode for amd cards added . It allows me to decrease power consumption of my 7*rx570 rig by 12-14 watts  ,which is ~1,5% with the same hashrate ! Great job , I think Phoenix miner is and industry leading eth miner right now .

What driver version you can suggest for Nvidia cards?

   For Windows and AMD - anything from this year (18.x.x), including the latest 18.9.1. For Linux and AMD - 17.40 or above (18.10 if using Vega). For Nvidia - the latest driver should be OK. However for most of the old cards there are no new optimizations in the latest drivers and sometimes there are problems so if you are happy with your current drivers don't change them - usually the performance difference between the driver versions is very small.

  We will try to include support for it in the next release of PhoenixMiner.

   It seems that the light cache generation never finishes (as evidenced by the high CPU load too). It must finish in less than 10 seconds and then the card will create the DAGs but this never happens. This is not caused by the driver version for sure. We will try with this version of hiveOS but if it is based on Ubuntu 18.04, this also doesn't explain it because we have successfully tested with Ubuntu 18.04 as well. Can you please tell us what CPU do you have in this mining rig? Even the decade-old Athlon II should generate the light cache in less than 15 seconds.

   Yes, we have found this problem in the previous version (sometimes it crashes if a remote manager API requests are send before the miner is fully up and running), and therefore in the new version (3.5d) we have delayed the opening of the listening socket until the miner is ready to respond. So in the latest version (3.5d) it just won't respond to API requests in the first 15-25 seconds. However if you have these reports with the new version, please let us not and we will see what could be causing this. We tried to reproduce this with the new version but it doesn't crash as the old one.

That is a good save on power consumption! I too agree that PhoenixMiner is holding it down for the best ethereum miner.

   Thank you for the additional info - your CPU is definitely fine and way above the required minimum for timely generation of the light cache. We have since received another similar report on the same version on HiveOS, so we will investigate further and fix the problem when we found what is causing it.

Could you also try to fix problem with AMD cards? All of them are not detected by PhoenixMiner in HiveOS based on Ubuntu 18.04:

No OpenCL platforms found
No avaiable GPUs for mining. Please check your drivers and/or hardware.
