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

[Complivit91]

I think that NiceHash will not calm down, and is plotting something bad. Do not forget that the developers of nh are hackers in the past (since they have the same nicknames), and as they say, there are no former villains.
Thanks to the sites and social networks that promote Phoenix, I hope we will get rid of nh, which has already deceived people for money (in 2017, also during the hype)

[Permonik]

It is very clever to do not reveal the identity. Till now no one knows what happened to claymore, he just pass away or something much more worse happened to him... People can be ugly when they smell "easy" money.

I'm currently mining with PhoenixMiner using NiceHash (I would stop using NH if I felt I could make batch file correctly!) as it is by far the best miner I've used due to how stable it is, the level of info displayed and the amount command line of switches.

I'm only using my laptop (yes well aware of the risks and I know I'm not going to make a fortune) with its GTX 1660 Ti (temps around 65-67 with good airflow) and I use the following extra launch parameters:

-lidag 3 -mcdag 1 -mi 14 -nvdo 1 -eres 3 -cclock -305 -mclock +575

My questions are am I using them correctly? Are there some where the value could be changed? Do I need all of the ones I'm currently using?

Thanks in advance!


Quick edit: The top results on google when searching "PhoenixMiner" are not good ones.  I really hope PM are able to maintain it's userbase after the sh*tshow nh caused over the weekend.

In any war, both lose. However, PhoenixMiner will lose a large audience from this conflict, unlike NiceHash, because they have a large media resource.

What to do?

We need to spread good information about PhoenixMiner on blogs, on youtube, in chats. In every way to promote the PhoenixMiner project in media. Because it is the most convenient and fastest miner.

NiceHash, obviously, will continue to play dark and throw mud at PhoenixMiner, trying to ruin his reputation so that he will be forgotten.

But we will not allow this to be done.

We'll win the media war if need be, because Phoenix is ​​so much better, safer, and more reliable than NiceHash  .

I have acquaintances in crypto media (websites, twitter, reddit, discrod, youtube). At least for my part, I will tell them the whole situation so that they do not believe in the tales from NiceHash and so that PhoenixMiner does not lose its audience.

NiceHash just wants to pick up PhoenixMiner users. They keep posting disinformation.

Checksums are all that’s needed if you trust who’s making your software to be legitimate.

Well after what happened to NH few years back I don't blame them for initial overreaction. But the way they handled the whole thing... yuk

What happened back in 2017 has nothing in common with what they did this past weekend except that both incidents are the fault of NH.  Other than that, nothing in common.

Where was he comparing these two occasions? Just expressed his opinion on reacting to things, nothing else.

in 2017 it was an outside hack and lack of properly IT security.  On that occasion Nicehash took responsibility and did not overreact.  In 2020, they downloaded miner from an unreliable source and then panicked and started slandering and spreading FUD.  He compared the two occasions as justification for their recent over reaction.  That casually equivalency by people is why NH will get away with this recent shit.

I made an account here to show my SUPPORT for Phoenix Miner in this ordeal. NH had no place! esp. since idk, mariposa...
The simple fact is, should i no longer trust a company for the devs taking a vacation? as stated its about anonymity, and its none of my dang business what the devs are doing in their personal lives. I think the devs should hire a face and sue NH for LIBEL. thats exactly what this is! Libel.
I've closed my NH account and switched to another pool... I would gladly volunteer to be the face that sues NH.
The way i see it, NH owes the devs as well as its users. how many shares were lost out on due to people switching in fear? How many stopped using phoenix miner causing a loss in revenue for the devs?

I would stop using NH if I felt I could make batch file correctly!

DM sent.

So, beneath some genuine sounding apologies, we find another attempt to find out our real identities. Despite the polite tone of the message, its contents can be translated to: "We asked you nicely before and you refused, so if you want us to retract our FUD post about your miner, you must reveal your identity to me." Well, we don't react well to threats, even polite ones

I don't blame you for wanting to keep your identity a secret, and good job standing your ground.  I wouldn't have reacted to Nicehash's message any differently.  

However, there were a few days this past week where your clients were scrambling trying to find your software, and since this thread is under constant attack by malware shilling sockpuppets, this episode put your clients in a high-risk situation.  Many didn't know whether the software they found was the right version, and there was also suspicion that your Mega and Bitcointalk.org accounts were hacked, or (god forbid,) you went rogue yourself.

Checksums are great, but they don't guarantee that your accounts haven't been hacked, or the software and checksums weren't replaced by the hacker.  To help the members of this forum (and the folks at Github will appreciate it also) I suggest you create and stake a PGP key that you use to sign the binaries and/or the checksums.  That gives the community a second factor for authentication.  If this kind of thing happens in the future we can use the PGP to authenticate your checksums or the binaries and avoid this kind of drama.

[ekiller]

Let Nicehash deal with your own problems first. They have been hacked in the past years and put hundreds of thousands of people in a difficult situation.

So what should we say now? Stop using Nicehash ?
I won't say this.

But I can say the following;

Who is Nicehash? Oh, isn't that the company that makes a living by getting a commission on miners? 
What does nicehash produce? nothing.. Nicehash just silly broker.  Nicehash's job = real estate agent . Same job

But this man (PhoenixMiner and they are like him/her) is producing something here. They are developer. if they didn't exist, nicehash would never be happen.

Nicehash has earned money from back of miners and miner developers for years.  They sold you what bought from me.(Hash)

Nicehash...let's build a better miner software and talk later on stage.


   
  Believe and support real developers
I believe phoenixminer will do good works.

Ironically this whole story had one positive outcome for me - after years of keeping paper wallets it made me order a Ledger Nano yesterday

Outside hack? Sure, and I thougt that no one believed in that bullsh**...
And few months later they pulled 8k BTC out of nowhere to give it back to people that they have robbed on peak of BTC price in last bull run

Bagge6, if you mine in a place where noise is not a big issue, buy second hand HP server PSUS, which you can find on EBAY, they are cheap and kick ass.
Here is an example of a 1200W that can run fine at a load of 850 if that is what you need for your rig:

Under load the fan will get a little louder than a regular gamer PSU so if you keep your miner in your living room or bedroom, it's not a good idea but if your miner is in a basement or garage or something, these server grade PSUs are the best bang for the buck.

I was giving them the benefit of doubt.  Regardless comparing this recent CF/Shit fest to 2017 is just insane.  They are completely to blame for going off the deep end and spreading FUD, smearing developers (PM specifically, devs in general) and causing untold stress and monetary expenses to their users because they have a shitty operational practices.  Which if you think about it, should of been addressed after all the issues over the past 2 months with unplanned outages, constant loss of statistics and generally lousy IT planning.

Well priced too, good link. Thanks for sharing.

[MinermanNC]

Well for me I am and have been using most versions of Phoenix miner with no issues. I am currently using Phoenix 5.5c within the Nicehash miner for about the last month. Only to switch things up for a BTC payout. Otherwise I normally have used the Phoenix miner as a stand alone.

I am glad to see the Phoenix devs coming forward to defend themselves and go to lengths to give reassurance on their software and that they are not "MIA"

Lets hope both Nicehash and Phoenix can find a middle ground and get this resolved soon for the benefit of everyone who uses both software's. Its not healthy for the mining world to have doubts on either side.

I have been using Phoenix on my rigs for several years from version 4.1 onwards to mine (at one time or another) almost every supported coin on many different pools. I have never seen any suspicious behaviour from any version... ever.   I have had some technical problems with a few versions which were usually resolved by the next release.

If the devs. want to stay anonymous then so be it. I don't care. Miners need to monitor their own rigs and be satisfied that the software they are running is safe.

I don't know what NH is up to here but it feels like a FUD campaign to me.

For me...it is business as usual. Running the latest version 5.5c with no issues.

[Jwild1]

Hi all. What is the command line parameter to auto set the difficulty? Mine is stuck at 10000MH and finding shares takes a long time. Thx for your time
