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

[badassmf]

Hi.
I Install PhoenixMiner For The First Time. I'm trying with PhoenixMiner 5.1c. The miner does not manage the video cards correctly according to the settings in the config file, in particular the control of the fans and the downclock of the memory and GPU frequencies. I tried different versions of the drivers listed here as "Good Drivers", but with all the problem is the same. What do I need to do to get the miner himself to manage the cards and to override the video card bios?

My Rig: 14xRX580 Asus Rog Strix 8Gb GDDR5 Samsung on ASUS 250 Mining Expert. My VBIOS are overclocked - GPU on 1350 MHz and Memory on 2000 MHz. I use Windows 10 64 Pro 2002 - MBR-CSM and AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 20.4.2-may25.
These are my config file settings:
-coin eth
-amd
-acm
-allpools 1
-stales 1
-ftimeout 10
-bench
-altinit
-resetoc
-mi 12
-tt 50

wooow you should add more commands. just kidding.why dont you delete all this and start step by step, no commands just a pool and wallet.

PhoniexMiner cannot correctly manage it because Asus never released 350 Mining Expert mono.

apparently we are talking about a b250 mining expert
But has Windows already learned to understand more than 12 video cards?
I have the same system board with ten cards for Windows 10 and drivers 20.5.1, everything works fine

how does PM calculate effect hash and at pool stats?

Why are both of those numbers so much lower than my hash rate even with zero rejects?

[STAT303954]

Has anyone had an issue mixing 580s with Vega 56 together on the same rig??? Just tried today adding a 56 to my 580s and can not control the fan speed either in Afterburner or the miner...its the strangest thing because my 580s fan just stay off after starting Windows

Q007: What is the meaning of "effective speed" shown by PhoenixMiner's statistics?
   A: This is a measure of the actually found shares, which determines how the pool sees your
   miner hashrate. This number should be close to the average hashrate of your rig (usually a 2-4%
   lower than it) depending you your current luck in finding shares. This statistic is meaningless
   in the first few hours after the miner is started and will level off to the real value with
   time.
 
Q008: Why is the effective hashrate shown by the pool lower than the one shown by PhoenixMiner?
   A: There are two reasons for this: stale shares and luck. The stale shares are rewarded at only
   about 50-70% by most pools. The luck factor should level itself off over time but it may take
   a few days before it does. If your effective hashrate reported by the pool is consistently lower
   than the hashrate of your rig by more than 5-7% than you should look at the number of stale shares
   and the average share acceptance time - if it is higher than 100 ms, try to find a pool that is
   near to you geographically to lower the network latency. You can also restart your rig, or
   try another pool.

Dear mining fellows,
I spend some time testing this miner using Asus Vega64. Neither ubuntu nor windows platform was stable mining and not even talking about performance.
If someone figured it out please post your configuration. I guess I am not the only one...

OS / OS Version / driver version / (kernel version) / (kernel mods) / miner parameters

Cheers, ZZSiro

My Vegas go 50-56mhs on mmpos and trm.

Vegas are different beasts for sure.  But with mmpos and trm super stable

It’s shocking how a newbie member reads and understands how mining works - but a full member does not!

I’m going to give you your 1st well-deserved trust.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO RUN PHOENIXMINER AS ROOT ON ETHOS? --

I run ethOS mining system, a hybrid of Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04.  PhoenixMiner is very stable in this system, and will run literally for months without crashing.  But, I cannot run PM with straps unless it runs with root priviledges.

Does anyone know how?   Thanks in advance...       --scryptr

THANKS--

But that does not answer my question.  I use Miner-Manager often, but it does not do anything to launch a miner.  It will update a miner or add a new miner to the system.

It may take a system mod to do what I want.  I want to launch and run PhoenixMiner as root.       --scryptr

This might sound stupid but have you tried sudo and the start_miner.sh? or su and start_miner.sh?

DO YOU USE ETHOS? --

The ethOS system uses a "local.conf" file to configure the launch.  Flags and OC options may be specified there.  However, the system launches the miner and maintains statistics and logs.  The super-user commands won't be recognized if placed in local.conf.

I could launch the miner with a "start.sh", but the system would not track the miner.  I am hoping to find out how to modify the system launch in order to run the miner as root.

Thanks for answering.       --scryptr

Hello,

I use a Rig with Windows 10 update 20H2. 2 x AMD and 2x Nvidia Cards.
The AMD RX 570/580 with 8gb VRAM. But Phoenix Miner shows only 6,4gb VRAM.

Any idea?

update your amd driver to 20.11.2. I am on the same version of windows and that driver version works fine. Also update your miner to 5.4.c. Try the miner update first and then the driver next.

A little feedback:

-dagrestart <n> Restart the miner when allocating buffer for a new DAG epoch. The
      possible values are: 0 - never, 1 - always, 2 - auto (the miner decides depending on the driver version).
      This is relevant for 4 GB AMD cards, which may have problems with new DAG epochs after epoch 350.

This is good, but what we need is a -dagRunScript. Which of course, runs a script when a new DAG begins to build. Right now the 30 series works OK with the HiveOS "OC Delay" but we need to restart the miner when the new DAG hits to let HiveOS use it's OC Delay feature.
