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

[Tsum]

Yep, windows 10 and a legit copy. Tried the firewall.cpl thing without any luck either unfortunately.

   Can you please tell us what GPUs you are using and the version of the driver(s)?

RX 580 and the driver version is 18.1.1

[Rewqpro]

I would switch to this miner, but it doesn't support Dual Mining (yet).
Really great job you have done here!

completely agree with the guy.

Dual mining is what it takes with Claymore

Dual mining is worthless now, the ASICs have taken over. You're barely earning anything over the increased power draw.

Just moved here, I see it 5Mhs more than Claymore's, but let's wait n see, btw great job! 

[akuci]

Yes, I see almost 7% stale shares, but I hope this will be fixed in 2.6.
Good work.

Any chance for some nVidia performance upgrade with the new Cuda 9.1?

I have tried your miner in my 2 GPU rig, miner starts and after 20-25 seconds later simply exits without giving any warning or error

here is the log :

any help?

Didn't really see a change in performance with my single V56 (figured I'd just throw it in for testing's sake) as performance went up by 0.2% (well within margin of error). However, I really like what you've done with the wealth of features (in particular, the restart function if it drops below a hash threshold) and the UX/UI looks relatively aesthetic compared to other miners I've used.

Definitely a project to be proud of and something I'd gladly pay the 0.65% fee for.

Okay bro, you had my attention, but now you've got my interest!!!

I have been struggling with my stupid rig for quite some time now, and today I found your miner.
Latest AMD Adrenaline drivers -> Found a good BIOS Mod for my micron memory card - logged remotely to test your miner - simply AMAZED!
I just cannot understand exactly, if you check in HWINFO my mclock and cclock speeds are the ones I'm using in the Claymore miner, how are they still applicable when I'm mining with this miner, but one thing I can say and that is that I'm happy AF.
With the claymore miner my reported hashrate was 29.5-30.5. If this is correct what I am getting is 37.5-38.5mh/s at the pool?! This is just too good to be true.
I cannot wait to get home and setup the whole machine and will post tonight after I run all my 5 cards.
Really hyped about your project bro! Keep up the GREAT work!

[benosimo06]

Even with 2.5d now I'm unable to run the miner, though I'm starting to think it's something on my end. After further investigation once GPUs are identified in the console the error message: "FATAL ERROR: Debugger detected" is shown immediately before it crashes.

Any idea what might be the cause of this?

I've got an RX 380 + 480 using the 17.30.1029 Blockchain driver. The firewall change didn't have any effect for me either.

This wil level out after time, depending on luck etc you will have spikes up and down - You are not actually getting more speed than you are hashing at.

Just wanted to say, currently mining ether classic at 24ish mhs with version 2.4 on a 3GB 1060

verion 2.6b doesnt work as it has a cuda crashing saying not enough memory on the 1060

haven't tried 2.5d as windows defender reports some norty virus' (2.4 and 2.6b are virus free)

Yep, it came down, but unlike Claymore's miner, which instead of 30mh/s reports around 26 at the pool, with this one im getting 29, which is pretty awesom. Also 0 stales, dunno what's up, but thats just insane. With claymore's I was getting around 10-12-15% stale shares.

[minerrr]

ty man for miner it's great better than claymore now i have problem with my 1 rig with 5x470 dont runing stable with clay but with your miner it's run stable 48h and dont have stale shares and avg hasrate is higer than reported
and with 280x rig i get 26.2 mh/s for pirl.

Any chance for some nVidia performance upgrade with the new Cuda 9.1?

 We've done some preliminary testing but the results are not encouraging - the difference it is very small and not always in favor of CUDA 9.1. Combined with the nuisance of having to install Nvidia drivers that support CUDA 9.1 we don't see much reason to support it until the drivers are older and more stable.

I have tried your miner in my 2 GPU rig, miner starts and after 20-25 seconds later simply exits without giving any warning or error

here is the log :
...
any help?

  Can you please open a command line window and run PhoenixMiner from there? Or, if it is easier for you, run the start_miner.bat file - it includes the pause command after the execution of PhoenixMiner, so the console won't close automatically and you will be able to see if there is any error message that is not included in the log file.

RX 580 and the driver version is 18.1.1

I've got an RX 380 + 480 using the 17.30.1029 Blockchain driver. The firewall change didn't have any effect for me either.

  We'll prepare a special version that will "spit out" more useful information about the error to give us some directions where to look for its causes. It will be PM'd to anyone who is suffering from the "Fatal error: debugger detected" problem.

  You can safely ignore the windows defender warning (but keep in mind that it can be quite aggressive and even delete PhoenixMiner.exe without asking). Many AV programs seem to freak-out when see code that thwarts any attempts to debug or monitor the executable and declare it a dangerous. As for the memory error, this is kind of strange as we have 1060 3GB in our test rigs and they work fine with 2.6b when mining ETC. You can try to specify the -eres 0 command line option which will turn off the DAG pre-allocation and force 2.6b to behave exactly like 2.4, which didn't have DAG pre-allocation.

[ultiman2]

i see some peoples talking about version 2.6b, its in beta for now? or can i download it anywhere?

mu rig is more stable with your miner than claymore and a little bit more hash so double bonus  But im always here for upgrade that help

   Yes, you can find it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg29359128#msg29359128. Generally, first we test internally on our mining rigs for 12-24 hours, then we post a release candidate, and after a day or two, we make it official. If there are any serious or wide-spread problems found at any of these stages, the process starts from the beginning.

Been using this miner for like 6 hours now and it's amazing. 4-5 MH/s more than Claymore, which is great!

But I'm having this weird problem right now, I have 2x RX560's which are getting 14.7 MH/s each, but every ~10 seconds they both drop to ~12 MH/s for 2 seconds and then it goes back to 14.7 MH/s. My RX580's are not doing this and are keeping strong on the 30.5 MH/s mark. With Claymore I do not have this issue, I also tested this with Ethminer and the RX560's do not drop in hashrate at all.

Would be great if you could get that fixed somehow, other than that, this miner simply amazes me, keep up the good work!

[murgorx]

Okay guys, so I am with the latest Adrenaline Drivers 18.1.1 and got a very good BIOS mod for my cards - each one tested on 31.5mh/s. The problem is that when I plug them all 5 my first GPU is mining on 20mh/s and the rest are steadily 31.5mh/s and the problem is that it is not finding any shares ?! I have unplugged them all and tried mining only with her - 31.5mh/s.... What may be causing the issue ?!

new tester here coming from Claymore 10.6 and dual mining PASL.

6x RX570 bios modded.
