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

[garciaajx2008]

Asus 1060 6 GB straps 2 before 18 mhash now 23 mhash

does anyone know if in the near future we will be able to mine with 4gb cards if one of the rig cards have 8gb?

For ETH/ETC in 1-2 month no 4GB card will be able to mine as the DAG will not be able to be loaded into the VRAM. Moving to Linux might buy you 2-4 more epochs but come December 20202 only 6GB and above cards can mine ETH/ETC. Same with ASIC that only have 4GB memory.

The options then for 4GB cards would be to sell or mine something like RVN - but you'll be looking to compete with millions of 470/480/570/580 owners. Craigslist and eBay will be flooded with them.

But are you sure that if the rig has at least 1 8GB and the rest 4GB will not work?

Anyone have luck with the -straps function?

-straps <n> Memory strap level (Nvidia cards 10x0 series only). The possible values are 0 to 6. 0 is the default value and uses the default
     timings from the VBIOS. Each strap level corresponds to a predefined combination of memory timings (-vmt1, -vmt2,
     -vmt3, -vmr). Strap level 3 is the fastest predefined level and may not work on most cards, 1 is the slowest (but still faster than
     the default timings). Strap levels 4 to 6 are the same as 1 to 3 but with less aggressive refresh rates (i.e. lower "-vmr" values).

I'm getting an error 31 Must be run as administrator...Tried to do so but still getting the error...Wanted to see if this feature could be used instead of the ethlrgmentpl

Right-click the program icon (PhoniexMiner.exe).
Choose Properties.
On the Compatibility tab, select the Run This Program As An Administrator option.
Click OK.
 

The problem he is having and I am as well is that even after running as admin the error appears: "Invalid option: -straps"

The whole reason ETH had been immune to ASICs initially was the DAG. If you could load it into traditional DDR memory the ASICS would have RAM slots as RAM is relatively cheap. VRAM, GDDR6, is not cheap.

If you have an 8 and 4GB rig, the only card that can mine is the 8GB card. The DAG cannot fit on a 4GB card once it exceeds 4GB in size. You can't put 120ml of liquid into a 100ml container.

Other coins that have a smaller DAG such as UBIQ can be mined on those 4GB cards.

Yes, I had already tried this and it doesn't work

Anyone kind enough to help me out with some good settings for 8 Sapphire RX570 16GB cards for mining ETH on Linux Ubuntu 18.04.4 (currently using 18.50 AMDgpu drivers)?  

I've had a few issues (Everything is stock, both the cards and miner.):

1. After about a full day or 2 of mining it would give me an error about Vram where I must do a whole system shut down for the miner to work again. Which makes little sense to me as the card has 16GB of RAM.

2. Threads are getting stuck, again stopping the miner to where I must do a system shut down for the miner to work again.

I appreciate any input and/or guidance to get this setup to achieve stability, thank you.

You didn't specify what card are you trying to apply straps for... If you get invalid option you should probably update PhoenixMiner to latest version. https://mega.nz/folder/2VskDJrI#lsQsz1CdDe8x5cH3L8QaBw

-straps 1  (Nvidia cards 10x0 series) run as with administrator rights, but when I place the bat file in the auto start win 10 it will not start why?

Hey all!

Was anyone able to use the -cdmport function?
I can't seem to turn that on no matter what I do. I'm using HiveOS and it's working perfectly fine with Claymore but I can't monitor anything with phoenixminer?
Is there something I'm missing? I set cdm to 1 and 2 and cdmport to 3333 and I can't see anything when I try to access this on my-network-ip:3333

pls help

How do I set memory voltage on 5700?  I did it before, but forgot how. Need to try setting to like 1325mv.

I run 1080Ti in 3 different rigs and none of the rigs accept the -straps command. When I run the miner with admin rights it returns "Invalid option: -straps"

If I run without admin rights it doesn't even return anything, the miner simply doesn't start with "-straps" in the bat file

Hello,

Been mining ETH on CudoMiner. Decided to run Phoenix as stand alone today. Immediately noticed I lost control of fan speeds with MSI Afterburner.
Didn't really get it back properly after I switched back to CudoMiner either, until I figure out the problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

Thanks!

Just wanted to share my settings for my 6 @ 5700XT's on Simplemining

Core: 1345 volts cvdcc 750
Memory: 901 (1802) default
55 M/hs average per card, 770w at the wall


Going to add some pics but I am worried that one of my cards memory voltage is a little high. Is 84 C too high for 24/7 mining?

I'm on 1080ti's as well and have the same issue.  2 rigs different mobos, sane error

I have 4 1070 and they hash rate is 24-17mhs what happen is this normal. not mined for months but its low now! i tried every thing -straps no good any idea?? thanks you

set another batch file to run claymore to set straps... (and not mine, botch pool)
