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

[PhoenixMiner]

new driver guys Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 19.8.1
and it mention that
Radeon Performance Metrics may report incorrect VRAM utilization.


any one try it for RX 5700 XT

   Two things about the new 19.8.1 driver:
   1. It doesn't fix the TLB problem with RX5700 (Navi)
   2. It is not supported by PhoenixMiner 4.5c, so if you use 19.8.1 you will see lower hashrate and higher stall shares.

   So, it is best to stay on the previous driver (19.7.5 or lower).

If you are on Windows you can use scheduled tasks:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/taskschd/schtasks

Look for these options

/ET  /DU /K

   There already are such options for time of day: -resumeat and -pauseat.
....

Those work for time based activity but it doesn't say anything about the day. For my plan electricity is very high during the afternoon and early evening of weekdays during the summertime and very low on other times of the day, weekends, holidays, and all other seasons at any time.

If I wanted it paused during certain hours during the summer weekdays but running continuously on weekends, holidays, and the other 8 months could I schedule that?

   No, -pauseat and -resumeat are only for time of day. For more complex arrangements (days of week, specific months, etc), you have to use Windows Task scheduler or something similar.

   PhoenixMiner checks the minimum and maximum supported clocks of the card before applying the specified value, so most probably the modded BIOS somehow reports that the minimal memory clock is 2200 MHz. Please send us a log file (the first few minutes are enough) and let us know the version of the AMD driver you are using. We may add a command-line option in a future release to ignore the card limits but this may: a) fail if the driver insists on the limits, and b) be dangerous for the card if extreme values are specified by mistake. In any case, we need the log to progress further.

sent PM

   Thank you, we will add a command-line option to remove the driver limitations in the next release but it may not work anyway (the driver has the "final say" which values will be used). If the minimal memory clocks are set to 2200 in the BIOS the clock that will be applied is max(2200, x) where x is the clocks you have specified. In your case 2150 is less than 2200, so 2200 MHz is the used value.

Having issue with 4gb Nvidia cards in windows not having enough memory to create the DAG. Its not a virtual memory error

I’m running 7x Nvidia 1070s...rock solid at currently 100 hours. What is your virtual memory size?

65536-98304 mb. It's not a virtual memory issue. 1070's have 8gb of memory. I didn't feel like trying to fight the inevitable so I just BIOS flashed my P104's to 8gb with nvflash.... Problem solved.

Same here as follows:

GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (pcie , CUDA cap. 6.1, 4 GB VRAM, 6 CUs

==>GeForce GTX 1050 Ti: CUDA error in CudaProgram.cu:407 : out of memory

[sxemini]

yes i have the same issue. but only if i mining ETC (DAG is slightliy higher then ETH)

[Semtex72]

Have anyone else seen performance degradation using the latest (431.60) DCH driver for GTX 1070 (Or any DCH driver)?

I'm barly getting over 30 Mhs and have to increase power.

[jetwalsh]

I don’t run DCH drivers. Currently running latest Nvidia driver with 7x1070s, memory overclocked +600, 80% power. Hashing at an average of 33.4 Mhs per card.

   Windows 10 strikes again. It uses quite a bit of GPU VRAM for its own internal needs. Here is the list of possible solutions in order of increasing dificullty:
   * You have to add the following command-line options in order to minimize VRAM usage: -rvram -1 -eres 0
   * Usually Windows 10 grabs memory only from the GPU that is connected to a display, so connect your display (or the display plug) to the iGPU of the motherboard (if you are using Intel motherboard). On multi-GPU rigs, you can also put an old (unusable for mining) GPU and connect the display to it.
   * The heavy-duty solution is to switch to Linux but it has its own problems. This will buy you about 5-9 additional months of operation until the DAG grows too big to fit in 4 GB VRAM.

   Note for Linux users: the latest AMD Linux driver (19.30-855429) is not supported by PhoenixMiner 4.5c. For now, stick with 19.30-838629. We will release 4.6 shortly (in a week or two), and it will contain some goodies for Linux, including advanced hardware stats, and hardware control for AMD cards.

I am amazed PhoenixMiner has only 10 merits considering the number of people using this miner.

Well, glory times of GPU mining are for the most part over, thats probably the reason.
Gave it 1 merit, anyway

Did anyone try ETC in ethermine, it looks like it doesn't read "-"(dash) and . (dot) in the pool link in the config. In the console shows connected as its pointed in the config but actually it doesnt read the subdomain. I'm using 4.5c with smos. eu1-etc.ethermine.org:4444. I was waiting about 2 hours the rigs to appear, meantime everything was looking fine, then i decided to check the etc address in the eth pool and yes, it was there.

i jast see

ethermine.org (ETC):
  PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eu1-etc.ethermine.org:4444 -wal YourEtcWalletAddress.WorkerName

  It works fine with eu1-etc.ethermine.org:4444 or any other ethermine ETC pool (both when specified in the command-line or config.txt with -pool and when specified in the epools.tt). Please check your configuration and your log file - most probably the first pool is left to ETH ethermine from before you change to ETC. In the log file you will see how many pools are read from the command-line or config.txt and how many from epools.txt. You can also see the list of all pools by pressing the 'e' key when in miner console.

      Thank You thats all I need to know, I'm using SMOS as I mentioned above, so maybe I need to edit smos on each rig. Thats my config line in smos: -pool eu1-etc.ethermine.org:4444 -wal 0xwalletaddress.001 -rmode 2 In the console miner says it is connected to eu1-etc.ethermine.org but the shares actually came from the its eth pool.
EDIT for the records PhoenixMiner 4.5c works better than Claymore 14.7

@phoenixminer is there a way to access the strap database ?

[camchimonline]

I don’t be used-mt option with driver 19.5.1 on rx 570 4gb. I get all crash.
Anyone help me.
Thank

@PhoenixMiner
sometimes nicehash algo daggerhashimoto mine unknown coin with 0.00 hashrate.

Confirm, sometimes nicehash mines with 0.00 hashrate. Looks like it's some new ethereum fork appears...

Does any one know AMD team will resolve the TLB problem for RX 5700 XT or not ?

[zertor]

Code:

Unable to load NVML

what could be the reason for this error?
