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

How will dual mining affect ETH hashrate and power usage?
Using radeon 570

Dual mining will increase the power usage a lot. By the way, most of the second coin can be mined with ASIC. So it is not profitable to dual mine.

Thanks.
Whats the point om implementing in then...

I try with my 4x RX470, 600 W in solo, 705 W adding Blake2S from Nicehash, the hasrate drop from 29,8 MH/s per card to 28,2 Mh/s

[PhoenixMiner]

As there are no major bugs or problems with PhoenixMiner 4.0b, it is promoted as the current stable release of PhoenixMiner. If you are already running PhoenixMiner 4.0b there is no need to download and install again - the files are binary identical to these published last week here.

Could You create dedicated thread in forum with first post always contain newer version od this miner?
or github?
...like other miners does already (t-rex, z-enemy...., and almost all others).

I wish to have easy way to automate check for new versions

Does blak2s earnings cover the new power cost?

Is correct to load two kernels?

Code:

GPU5: Using Ethash OCL kernels (Ellesmere; -clkernel 1 -clgreen 1)
GPU9: DAG 63%
GPU3: DAG generated in 5.5 s (525.0 MB/s)
GPU3: Using Ethash OCL kernels (Ellesmere; -clkernel 1 -clgreen 1)
GPU2: DAG generated in 6.0 s (482.2 MB/s)
GPU2: Using Ethash OCL kernels (Ellesmere; -clkernel 1 -clgreen 1)

I have entered only -clgreen kernel.

   Yes, this is correct and there is no error. This is just a new way to show you the kind of kernel each GPU is using by showing the relevant command-line options for this GPU (as some GPUs don't support -clkernel 2, others don't support -clgreen 1 kernels, etc). In the versions before 4.0 it was shown as "optimized green kernel".

Having issues with UBQ-HASH and naming workers. If I put anything after my address example (a9224303048j9.RIG1) It will not connect to the pool (Ubiq.Hodlpool:8009). If I get rid of the rig name it will connect and hash fine (BTW 6-7Mh/s increase over UBQHASH ETHminer!)

   Depending on the pool, you may have to use the -worker command line option (or WORKER: in the epools.txt). Some pools accept the worker name as part of the wallet but others require it to be separate.

On behalf of the MaxHash Pools team and our Ubiq community, we would like to personally thank the Phoenix miner devs for incorporating Ubiq miner into the latest build.

Great job on giving miners another option and if you need any assistance/advice on Ubiq related matters then feel free to get in touch.

Big props!

-Team MaxHash

   Thank you! We are glad to support Ubqhash as something like this is probably the way forward in the battle against ASIC miners. Thankfully the ubqhash didn't require huge changes in our code base, so it was done relatively quickly.

• Finally, please note that the versions of PhoenixMiner before 4.0 only support DAG epoch up to 235. Currently ETC is on DAG 233, so in less than two weeks the old version of PhoenixMiner won't be able to create DAG or mine ETC - you have to upgrade to PhoenixMiner 4.0. For ETH there is more time as it is on DAG 225, and it won't be affected until the next year. As with ETC, you just need to upgrade to the latest version of PhoenixMiner in order to fix the problem.
  

I tried the new beta version, and I still got the "CudaProgram.cu:407 : out of memory " with my 1060 3gb cards if I start ETC mining.

   You have to use Windows 7 or Linux to mine ETC (and soon ETH) with 1060 3GB as Windows 10 "steals" part of the video RAM, making the allocation of enough memory for the DAG impossible even though the DAG is still way less than 3 GB.

Does blake2s earnings cover the new power cost?

   For the most miners - no. However some may have access to very cheap or free electricity, or want to mine other coins for whatever reasons (want to support the blockchain, believe in the potential of said coin, etc), so there are reasons for dual mining, just not for most miners.

   We only put a new release in the first post whenever it is deemed stable enough for wide release. Before that it is in "open" beta stage where everyone can try it but it is not recommended for wide deployment for example on big farms with a lot of rigs.

There are no earnings mining any blake2s coin, a rx 580 will give you this and profit is minus 5 cents of a dollar per card, https://whattomine.com/coins/220-xvg-blake-2s?utf8=%E2%9C%93&hr=1300.0&p=30.0&fee=10.0&cost=0.1&hcost=0.0&commit=Calculate

However the feature is a developer's promise, so regardless how the market is, thanks for the feature, it might be useful in the future when coin prices start rising again.

I have 5 x RX480 XFX 8GB cards

I've installed Phoenixminer
And i'm only getting 14 Mh/s @ stock …

How do i enable compute mode, it says i need to run it as administrator but then the miner just closes when starting....

I've installed latest AMD driver, should i install blockchain driver ?

Which OC tool is good for these cards ?

MSI AB, TRIXX or …..

thanks

Right click PhoenixMiner.exe, click run as administrator, wait for create dag, type y command, reboot system. Best tool - OverdriveNtool

There is a little soft working great and put all yours cards in Compute mode with one click without reboot : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2815803.0

Very usefull when you change your drivers...

Under Win7 is the same problem :/

Maybe enabling integrated GPU would help, as its memory would be allocated for video out, instead one of 1060s?

Using this tool,

https://investoon.com/tools/dag_size

max (theoretical) date to mine ETC on 3GB cards is 19/MAR/2019
so thats probably about that...if windows use only few megabytes
for its purposes, it makes 3GB cards unusable...time to switch
to some other ethash coin

It is very easy to do in Phoenix miner by adding the parameter -acm  in your BAT-file. It's automatically turn on AMD compute mode on all supported GPUs.

[calebkan]

am i wrong?still says replace real wallet?

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -wal 0x64b2ef0f222e333e4b34a7c82fc4567d6037847b.1 -proto 3



(done..imust write my wallet in epool text)

[thsn07]

Can you add Energy mining? Its kinda ethash(energihash) and it has own miner but its ethminer fork and sucks. It would be superb.
