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

[kevyong]

Hi,

I keep getting multiple instances of Phoenixminer running/restarting at the same time immediately after crashes... with the error message being "Waiting 15 s for previous instance to close".

How do I keep this from happening? Please help.

Thank you.

Thank you.

what drivers are you using? amd or nvidia cards? what os? what is your start up command line?

Either 1060 or 1070 running on Nvidia 391.35 on either Win 7 or Win 10.
Command line parameters:
-rmode 1 -wdog 1 -cdm 2

And oh, I'm using Awesome Miner for my rigs.

I've tried -gswin 0 and -wdog 0 to no avail. Any suggestions are very much welcome, thank you again.

Code:

Important message for everyone that is running older versions of PhoenixMiner (before 4.2):

IMPORTANT! The versions of PhoenixMiner before 4.2 only support DAG epoch up to 265. ETC will reach epoch 266 in less than a week, and ETH will reach epoch 266 in about 45 days. To ensure uninterrupted operation, please upgrade to 4.2 before epoch 266. If you are mining other coins, you can safely disregard this message.

Post what is said above is not true at all almost all versions of phoenixminer from the start version works very well with AMD GPU, if you use nvida gpu then it is true from start version to 3.5 version no longer works. For clarity


-nvf <n> Nvidia kernel sync (0: never, 1: periodic; 2: always; 3: forced; default: 1). You may specify this option per-GPU. Huh??

-nvf option, if I choose -nvf 3 then the hasrate is the highest, someone has a bit more experience with this option and what the disadvantage of this is, I see much higher steel shares than this is true for others, please do more explanation of the PM dev and where is a new version of Phoenix

Ideally the whole command line would help. You should add -v 3 to it to show more verbose messages. Never used Awesome miner so cant speak to it.

Do you have lots of page file swap space? Can you try running card not overclocked?

Hi,
I have issues with PhoenixMiner 4.2c version(Win10 x64 1703). Problem is; Phoenix giving error message "software stopped working" after a few hours. Sometimes not stopping but not giving share too, going to offline. What is the problem?

More info needed.

What is start script?

add -v 3 to it so we get more verbose messaging.  Hardware how much ram? how much pagefile memory? What are you running AMd or nvidia?

Read this if you can't mine ETC with PhoenixMiner: important message for everyone that is running older versions of PhoenixMiner (before 4.2) - this was already posted here a few times in the last few weeks:

IMPORTANT! The versions of PhoenixMiner before 4.2 only support DAG epoch up to 265. ETC has reached epoch 266 already, and ETH will reach epoch 266 in little more than a month. To ensure uninterrupted operation, please upgrade to 4.2. If you are mining other coins, you can safely disregard this message.

The reason for this limitation is that we need to perform some quite complex calculations for each future DAG epoch in order to increase the hashrate of the optimized kernels. Recently we have added more computational resources and PhoenixMiner 4.2 will work without problems up to DAG epoch 329. We will increase this number significantly (e.g. 400 or more) in the next version.

The newest version of the miner doesn't read the config files as it used to.
I have copied over the old one that worked with the previous version just fine and now it just ignores it.

update : in the start_miner.bat file there are these 3 lines
"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 ssl://eu1.ethermine.org:5555 -pool2 ssl://us1.ethermine.org:5555 -wal 0x008c26f3a2Ca8bdC11e5891e0278c9436B6F5d1E.Rig001
pause"

if you delete the bold part, it will read your config files

My problem disappeared just as mysteriously as it had first appeared, and all I did was to restart my main PC that runs the Awesome Miner software, hmmm. Anyways, thanks for the suggestion, much appreciated!

Who can tell what that means?
Video card: Sapphire Nitro + RX 470 4Gb (Elpida)

4GBRam, Amd RX580(6) Nvidia P104-100(6),  Pagefile memory 36000MB

As you only have 4 gigs ram and are using 12 GPUs I would recommend double up to 72000MB pagefile. Also add the -v 3 to startup script and see what happens.

Anyone tried AMD 19.4.3 drivers? Does 4.2c support them?

[Burgbosh]

Anyone tried AMD 19.4.3 drivers? Does 4.2c support them?

Does this miner support the latest amd gpu pro 18.50 for linux?

It's working with 18.50 but you loose some speed, like 0,5-1 Mh/s on ETH

[UnclWish]

Anyone tried AMD 19.4.3 drivers? Does 4.2c support them?

So no one tried to install latest driver and run Phoenix miner?

[SigiSinatra]

Can you please add ProgPow for Zano ?
Thank you.

I have tested 580 and Vegas on 19.4.2 and saw no difference regarding speed.

Hello PM dev is it possible with phoenixminer dual mining ethereum based coin and nimic coin?
and when can we expect a new version of phoenixminer?
