Sapphire Radeon 580/480 8gb, P104/106 cards works well after Epoch 195.
Hello good old hashrate!

Yep it is working, happy miners again

[PhoenixMiner]

IMPORTANT! Ethereum Classic (ETC) network switched to a modified version of ethash, called ETCHash. If you are mining ETC you must upgrade to PhoenixMiner 5.3b or later, otherwise you will get only rejected shares when mining ETC.

The current ETC DAG is 195 instead of 390, with corresponding "shrinking" of the DAG buffer to about 2.5 GB. With this DAG size you will be able to mine with 3GB and 4GB cards without problems. After that, each DAG epoch on the ETC network will be twice as long, so the DAG size will grow with half the speed as before. As a result, it will be possible to mine ETC with 4GB cards for about 4 more years.

The switch went without problems, all our test rigs switched to the new DAG and are mining normally. You may need to run auto-tuning again if to get an optimal speed with the new DAG size.

I Mine ETC at 4 GB!

hello guys , is it possible to carry on running my rx570 8gb card on 5.2e (eth) and use my 2x rx470 4gb on 5.3b (etc)?
if so whats the command please , thanks in advance.

if you look up you will find answer. it was answered 10 times

has it? i thought 5.3b was a new release for ETC which isnt working correctly until the fork later today? or maybe you can see into the future questions and answers, or maybe its the same commands as ETH?

my 480 4gb is working at over 30 hashes now.
works great

I cant seem to extract the file folder from the zip (5.3b)... why is that? it keeps giving me an error for all the .bat files:

0x80004005: Unspecified Error

I need to report, that using 5.3b insted 5.1c (HiveOs) i`m getting few mhash per rig more.
i`ve started to use : -rxboost 1 -gt 1 - what else can i use ?
My stuff - RX580, p106, 1660 super, 1660Ti, RX5700.

I Mine ETC at  AMD RX 470 4 GB and RX 570 4GB  31.150 Mhs    DRIVER ver 20.4.2 !

-rxboost 100 -daglim 1 -straps 3

[oklickmanworld]

Everything is OK.

[bluspirit]

can someone tell me how can we set pool difficulty manualy on the miner ?
didn't find it anywhere   even on the readme.txt

It depends on the pool.
If a pool allows that, you will find how to set diff on their website.

gt 1 ? delete it. let miner auto tune your cards. with -gt 1 ofcourse you will get few mhs.

Newb mistake... was using windows default zip app. Needed winzip which allowed me to enter the p/w.

Thanks!

[Biterion]

Windows 10 please....

also could be bad gpu or risers

ok,.. i'll try to update to win10

after 6 more hours make update to win10.. (i can't sleep.. here 4:54AM now)  
used AMD Driver 12.4.2 >>> i can see my GPU all work in device manager  
patch by 'atikmdag-patcher-1.4.7'
switch to compute mode by 'AMD-Compute-Switcher'


but,...
using Phoenix miner 5.2e and 5.3b still same, hashrate still not change like before..

here is the result:

any suggestion to make RX480 back to 30Mhs..?
thanks

[waywoos]

trying to run 2 phoenixminers at same time.
one for etc 4gb and the rest are 8gb  with eth.
i have them both admin rights but get an error.
unable to start cdm server at port 3333. only one usage of each socket
any ideas?

i looked into the readme
what will -cdm 0 do for me?
is it safe?
it seems to be working that way
thanks for help

Hi there. I'm trying to mine with a rig of 1060 3GB, and I get DAG BUFFER error.

I am using pm 5.3b in windows and I am setting memory allocation in windows settings.
And I am also using the start_etc BAT. Still can't get it to work.

does anybody else have this problem?

you try restarting windows or adding virtual memory?

Yes sir. Updated windows to latest drivers. Nvidia drivers aswell. Added 65000 virtual mem. Also tried less to see if anything changes. Still nothing.

using newest miner? you edited the eth classic startminer_etc .bat?

What do you mean edited? I did put my ETC Wallet Adress in there. But nothing else.
