Ethermine.org is still recommending it in their website. I have the archive downloaded from a few weeks back if it is of any use to anyone.

Nicehash excavator doesn't charge any fee, so they don't make more money from removing Phoenix.

"Excavator is a very lite NVIDIA mining software developed and signed by NiceHash. It delivers competitive hashrate performance and most importantly it has a 0% fee, unlike other 3rd party miners which generally charge a 1% development fee!"

Could someone with a known-good zip file please provide the SHA-256 checksums of the files in the archive?
I extracted it and deleted the zip...

Thanks.

Nonsense.

Phoenix    0.65% and you can mine anywhere.
Excavator 0% fee and you can mine only on nice hash with 2-3% fee.

 Huh

The question is what happened really? Why nicehash is not explaining what did they actually compare to get "different hashsum" on their end.
Because Phoenix we use (from end of January) got exact same hashsum as posted in opening post in this thread.

 No that is not phoenixminer.

Says so at the bottom of the webpage:


Note, when downloading the PhoenixMiner, Windows may issue a warning, but if you used PhoenixMiner download link you can ignore this. Disclaimer: This isn't an official PhoenixMiners site. No binary files were affected. All rights belong to their respective owners.

Nicehash probably messed up solid by downloading a fake update and pushing it to their users, they are just doing damage control at this point...
Covering their butts... And blaming the whole thing on Phoenix... And using this whole thing to try and bring people to use their software/pool so they can make more $$$. The trouble with Nicehash is they will not tell us what REALLY happened...

This is utter garbage for noobs. What checksums did they even compare when the link is down?

Why do they even need checksums, don't they have a copy of PhoenixMiner 5.5c? It was released 3 moths ago.
NH has been distributing PhoenixMiner 5.5c for almost 3 months.

The rest of the evidence of "suspiciousness" is ridiculous and is based on the dev not visiting Bitcointalk.

And what is there to think. How did the malicious phoenix get into the nicehash assembly? Nicehash distributes malicious software through its own mining application. Stop using nicehash immediately!

With the other big quantity of miners that there are like lolMiner, TRM, Trex,... that work really well or better.

the best is to mine with them until that is clarify... I have change my cold wallet to be more sure... and change all my rigs...

I think NiceHash either messed up or just a way to scare people into using their miner. What would be the devs reasoning or  motive to do anything malicious? Devs are making millions right now, they have been MIA lately probably traveling the globe on a yacht. Probably spending the missive surge of income they are getting from all the new miners.  I have never trusted NiceHash, I just don't see a motive for dev to do anything.

Does anyone have the checksum for 5.4c? I can't remember if I got it from here, or from github..

Algorithm : SHA512
Hash      : 93C1505B8EB308F36836F4C7E5C3CB1A450F2B5155C92AA2EBD3151F82E94291771DB760CC1E5DE 73BD0F3F0F6C0CF390384F78C85D

You know, if I was PhoenixMiner I would made a company, sign software, pay taxes and have people working and taking care of binaries being constantly available to customers. Then I could actually legally spend those millions of income and buy a yacht legally and wouldn't have any issues representing source of my income, I wouldn't break any laws. So, now explain me, why would someone hide his ass for so many years, keep identity in such a secrecy? And when getting these millions you would need to launder money first because this is just too much to spend as a pocket money. There are just too many shady things going around to be so trusty regarding it.

Yes, don't you finally get it? Now shills are coming out to try to convince you that phoenix is fine, just keep using it... Guys, don't be ridiculous and stop using it + reinstall Windows and change passwords if you used it on your PC.

I am not a shill, just my thoughts on it. Now a tax expert can correct me if I am wrong but there are ways to pay the taxes and still be anonymous dev. I am not a tax expert but technically they are getting the money from crypto mining the same as we are. Wouldn't they file taxes in a similar fashion as miners even as a non phoenix llc?  They call it a dev fee but they are actually just mining?

Are you on Windows?

open cmd prompt and cd to the folder with the zip file, then run

certutil -hashfile PhoenixMiner_5.5c_Windows.zip SHA256

it should match the SHA256 checksum in the original post of this thread.
