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

[theregoesplanb]

the invalid shares is because when it creates dag for a new epoch the overclock is too hard on the memory, there is an eth miner that has slow dag generation process feature for that reason, once its generated it works ok with the overclock

The problem is on some cards, the OC doesn't even have to be that aggressive for it to lose its mind.

Hello! Only recently within the past few days I've been having this issue where the PhoenixMiner console is all of a sudden disappearing/invisible from the screen in Windows 10 and it won't come back up no matter what method I use to restore the window. It's still running as a process and mining though even without the display since I am able to see the worker with an active and appropriate hashrate in my mining pool dashboard. It's just that now I'm unable to view the stats of my GPUs without having to close out the miner and starting it again which in turn brings unnecessary downtime for everything to ramp up again. Anybody else facing this issue or have any ideas on how to resolve it?

hey, mining rig has crashed twice over the last 2 days and somehow uninstalled the amd driver with it....never had this happen before...using windows 10 64 bit, amd 12.20.1 driver, with 5.5c, running 3 580s and a 6800xt

AMD has its driver installers saved by default at c:\amd.   So, just browse there and find the driver version you want to re-install.

When are you going to update to run the latest drivers?  I mine during the day and game at night on this system.  Just like having the latest and greatest.

And we are all waiting for NiceHash to apologize ...

Yea... the community should not let this die. People should be posting in the NiceHash reddit asking for the apology.

.......

Yeah, keep your identities safe, better be safe than sorry, too many people with malicious intention want to find out who you people are, look at claymore.

Hi.

Does anyone knows a way to implement some kind of "devfee"?
I manage rigs for others as a job and want to automatize the way they pay me. Switching to my wallet few minutes a day would be great.

Write a batch script that sets a timer for every 24 hours, and every 24 hours, have phoenixminer restart with a DIFFERENT wallet id, then after a few minutes have it restart back to the clients wallet.

BEFORE DOING THIS PLEASE TELL YOUR CLIENT YOU ARE GOING TO BE DOING THIS

Hope this helps, QuickAccount.

Check your batch file, you may have a incorrect start script, then grab a new version of PhoenixMiner, and verify with checksums, i'm not going to recommend specific software for this

Hope this helps, QuickAccount

Reddit believes everything that NiceHash says, sadly, they wont listen

Nicehash now sponsoring LinusTechTips for restore their lost reputation:

But really why would someone want to work with Nicehash and mining ETH but receive BTC with those super high fees instead?
I used Nicehash a few years ago for 2 weeks but not only BTC fees not worth it but also their pool always make less profits than ethermine.org even in exacts same situations.

NiceHash's pool is terrible, and their service is terrible, and their whole company is terrible, if you want BTC bad enough, shell out the money for a high hashrate dedicated miner, I would recommend AntMiner. Big profits to be had seeing how much prices are rising and dropping in crypto currently.

Hope this helps, QuickAccount

I like this miner software, but I can't setup all around properly for my single GPU RTX 3080.

I would like to target memory temperature and not fan fixed (gpu is cold) but this isn't enough:

Code:

-dbg -1 -allpools 1 -mode 1 -tt -88 -fcm 2 -tmax 50 -powlim -29 -cclock -500 -mclock +1300

Any suggestion?

Code:

Eth: Maximum difficulty of found share: 3953.5 GH (!)
Eth: Average speed (5 min): 91.444 MH/s
Eth: Effective speed: 89.57 MH/s; at pool: 88.71 MH/s

...and the pool shows 85 MH/s real :|

If I try to speed up the memory, only real time get benefits, but on "at pool" stay at around 90MH/s~

Hey Im new to this mining thing, I mined some etherium last month semi successfully.

Im using a single AMD rx 5700 xt , it works but the miner would crash ocassionally. Every second or third day.

From reading a bit here on the forums I see that rolling back the AMD drivers would help. Could you please suggest which exactly driver I should reroll to? Im using the latest one right now 21.3.1.

Would it be possible to use some commands also to prevent crashing?

I would like to keep the drivers up to date so that I can game on this PC as well.

Here is the screenshot of the crash https://prnt.sc/11335i6

21.3.1 and 21.3.2 are NOT compatible and have problems with Phoenix at the moment.   The next version is going to fix it, but no information has been given on the version number or when it will be released.

To be honest, 21.1.x was the last really good version.   21.2.1 crashed a LOT when trying to mine and web browse at the same time with my Radeon 6800(non-XT), 21.2.2 and 21.2.3 helped, but still had the occasional driver not responding and recovery(I am using 21.2.3 but performance is down a touch compared to the 21.1 series).

I'm on 20.12.1 and been mining for the last couple months just fine.

IMPORTANT! In light of the continuing smear smear campaign from Nicehash, we have published a full timeline with our communication with them, and our thoughts about their failed attempt to tarnish our reputation.

I'm just now reading about this situation.  A great read.  This is the sort of crazy drama that always seems to pop it's head up around bubble time, especially when it comes to NiceHash.  I have always recommended to people that mining on NiceHash with their GPUs is a great way to get started in the crypto space.  It does seem like there's a suspicious amount of shenanigans coming from there though.  This latest event having all sorts of questionable behavior that is suspiciously self serving.

Mega from the first post (link ends with * bw) has been restored to it a long time ago.
But phoenix now prefers github.
In any case, always compare the sha checksums of the exe file.

Hello everybody;

i have an issue with nanopool, i can't change the password and hence the payout limit

 here is my config :

C:\Users\troll\Documents\etherum\PhoenixMiner\PhoenixMiner.exe -pool ssl://eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9433 -wal wallet.Myrig/Bobmarley87 -rvram -1 -eres 0

error message :

Incorrect password

anybody have an idea?

thx all

[Vann]

Try this syntax:

Code:

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool ssl://eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9433 -wal wallet.Myrig/Bobmarley87.Myrig/Bobmarley87 -rvram -1 -eres 0

e.g.
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool ssl://eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9433 -wal walletaddress.worker/password.worker/password -rvram -1 -eres 0

[sentenza63]

Hello Vann;

thank you for your answer but still the same issue; i double checked case and unneeded space without success

[Vann]

Haven't mined on Nanopool for  a while. That was the syntax I used for the Claymore miner. Try this:

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool ssl://eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9433 -worker Myrig -wal wallet -pass Bobmarley87 -rvram -1 -eres 0
