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

[agismaniax]

I use phoenixminer 4.0b and right now I can't mine ETH with 3GB of VRAM (GTX 1060) on Windows 7 anymore. I'm going to switch to Ubuntu 16.04 immediately.

That will just give you 2 more months...why not immediately switch to something else?

2 months is enough to sell those gpus and replace it with a bigger vram.

I try to use -eres 0, -lidag 3 and nothing helps. After reboot GPU seems to be ok but after start mining GPU is going down and always receive this error

CUDART error in CudaProgram.cu:205 : unknown error (30)

Claymore also crashes. In afterburner also disappears stat info. I`ve also trying to install latest nVidia Drivers and Phoenix Miner but it also doesn`t helped.

Does anyone have any ideas?

2 months is enough to sell those gpus and replace it with a bigger vram. 

Thankfully I only have 2 1060 3gb I'm either going to sell and upgrade or maybe buy some more to add to the 2 and mine something else 

[hobocoe]

ever since 4.0b I have been having one hell of a time with my AMD rig.
I use Minerstat OS (linux based) and when they update a client its only that version available.
ever since 4.0b I have had "newer" cards have issues with stability and the OC/UV settings. I have RX 470/570/480's and the only ones I can get to work fine are 2 older 470 mining 4gb and 1 570 4gb. all the newer 570 gaming x, 480's and brand new 470 mining 8gb models all perform erratic and at low hashrate. the -altinit helps on the brand new 470 8gb models to get from 26ish mh to 29's but my OC/ UV settings are all off i cant push it nearly as far as i used to or as I can on a windows unit with 1 card. even on my windows test bench I have erratic behavior and messed up OC/UV on some cards, but not on others.

green kernels makes the new 470 8gb cards start off good but then plummet to 12ish mh. while the older 2- 470 and 1- 570 continue in the 29's..
nothing makes sense and I cant seem to get a single stable and repeatable group of settings together. what works once doesnt work again after a reboot.

before all this I had 4 cards running smoothly and with great OC/UV settings 1 card being a 480 8gb that now I have issues with.

is there something that Im missing? something that I should be trying? ive been messing with the optimized kernels but again I cant seem to find a stable repeatable situation.

thank you for any help

oh and I randomly get the "fatal error debugger detected" error some times it takes a couple reboots to clear it other times its fine

Please add Yocoin for devfee to avoid switching DAGs.

Thank you!

I'm trying to mine ubq via simple mining OS. There we have got PhoenixMiner 4.0a version not b. I'm receiving rejected shares form my pool. Heres config my config

-pool stratum2+tcp://eu2.ubiqpool.io:8008  -wal (addresshere) -coin ubq  Any ideas? Is a version able to mine UBQ?

Not Fixed problem with -cvddc on Beta for Blockchain driver?

[ATrump]

PhoenixMiner, thanks a lot for your work!

Could you move card bus number before card name? It's hard to parse log to get it.
I mean change
"2018.12.22:13:38:35.674: main GPU1: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (pcie 1), CUDA cap. 6.1, 3.9 GB VRAM, 6 CUs"
to
"2018.12.22:13:38:35.674: main GPU1: (pcie 1) GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, CUDA cap. 6.1, 3.9 GB VRAM, 6 CUs"

Or it will be great, if you add bus numbers to API.

Ya probably get you shit hijacked, I thought that was weird seeing phoenixminer 4.5 from someone other than PhoenixMiner

[evlo]

So my reported hashrate is 353MH/s
Effective is 343MH/s - it is great that this software even reports real hashrate
on ethermine
0 stales in phoenix miner and 0 bad
4 (1%) stales on ethermine - maximums stales in history chart is 14 or so

How to make this better?

This is after 3 days running.

consumption: 1650 W, day: 39.131 kWh - this seems to high to me, i'm obviously running uder volt under clock and writing about real consumption, no repoted by hwinfo and other bullshit others write

HWinfo
gpu 11 570s should be 1200@875, one 580 is @.925
mem 2040@.890

I did not found any working overclocking utility for linux, but it is long time since i looked so I dunno if it could be better under linux

Yes it's seems a little bit high, with 6x RX470 1140@900 I get 700 at the plug. Around 117W per card, you get 137,5W per card.

[evlo]

I'm mostly worried about the difference 353 reported miner hashrate and 343 on the pool. Well now it is 344.99 on the pool.

So is the dev fee in reality 2.3%?
I can't test what the real rate is on ethminer: 1. it is disconnecting and not connecting back to the pool after about a week. 2. I don't know how to get the real real pool hashrate 3. I don't know if they get comparable AMD performance now.

Do you get <120W for 29-30MH/s per card on linux or windows?

I'm not running much external cooling so I get a lot of hot air for the house That can be even 200W just for the fans, maybe. UPDATE: it is not, fans are at about 17% (HWinfo).



Well barely profitable to mine for me anyways, when I calculate with real numbers, but cards don't seem to be getting cheaper or more expensive on the used market, so whatever.

[anbe2305]

Reported hashrate and effective hashrate on a pool  a difference of 5% is normal when mining.

What versions of RX 570 do you have?

[evlo]

"Normal" does not really explain it.

I also selected my internet connection for the lowest latency possible in the locality to reduce stale shares at least that way. So maybe 1% stales, 1% dev fee, which in the end, when you really need max hashrate and max efficiency to stay even a bit profitable is notice worthy

[anbe2305]

You should try another pool ( maxhash PPLNS) or maybe try solo mining luck with that hashrate i would try ETC solo mining for a week. With ethermine pool you want have the opurtunity because of to many miners to see what can cards do( to many stale shares)Solo pools are more optimised then PPLNS pools. Im only solo mining. You must make calculation on dificulty (TH!!!) your cards find on 24 h basis, but that you want find on ethermine. You should try solo mining pools (maxhash, 2miners,altpool,coinmining, clona).
