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

[pinamalina]

I need a good working start.bat command file, which switches from one wallet to another wallet with a time limit

i used this bat this works not so good.

Code:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

:wallet1
echo Starting Mining Process for first wallet
:: Update the "C:\Mining\PhoenixMiner" with the actual full path of your miner location
start "Phoenix Miner for Wallet #1" /D "C:\Mining\PhoenixMiner" PhoenixMiner.exe -pool us2.ethermine.org:4444 -pool2 us1.ethermine.org:14444 -wal <wallet.rigname> -gpus 1234567 -pass x -logfile *
timeout /t 60
taskkill /im PhoenixMiner.exe /f /t
goto wallet2

:wallet2
echo Starting Mining Process for second wallet

:: Update the "C:\Mining\PhoenixMiner" with the actual full path of your miner location
start "Phoenix Miner for Wallet #2" /D "C:\Mining\PhoenixMiner" PhoenixMiner.exe -pool us2.ethermine.org:4444 -pool2 us1.ethermine.org:14444 -wal <wallet.rigname> -gpus 1234567 -pass x -logfile *

Thanks to you all that tried to help me.

I used for months Claymore.
Since 2 months ago i ported my 2 rigs to this software.
The migration was easy because as you all know the command line used on Claymore is the same.

So my 8x1070+5x580 and using this software for last 2 months. I was very satisfied... but then i started to see more consumption. With the same settings PM consumes almost 400w/hr more than Claymore. I dont know the reason so...back to Claymore.
my bad...

Hmm, now you really make me paranoid, From my plug I have the same consumption ~1600W with Claymore and Phoenix (14 x 1070 G1 Gaming (60% TDP, -100CC, +780 MC + the rest of components ...)  ) I don't think should be a prob if you set from afterburner the limit only if the software has something to override the settings and I don't think that....400W it's quite too much

Anybody knows why today PM 2.9e does not report hashrate to Nanopool?

I got massage "GPU4 CUDA error in CudaProgram.cu:264 : the launch timed out and was terminated (702)", and then the miner was hanged. What is this mean?

Check your OC and power limit, disconnect the GPU and try without GPU4 to see whats happening (to see if it's a specific issue with the gpu or riser - you can change the order of GPU), if the problem still persist try to reinstall the drivers with DDU.

It means two things: your gpu is overclocked - reduce memory frequency and secondly the miner code insufficiently handles that part of the code interfacing with the cuda API or the CUDA driver itself is buggy. In my opinion and experience the driver is to blame.

Define the 'not so good'. Specify your requirements.



switching from wallet 1 to wallet 2, a lot of loss of time and of course the loss of time for startup phoenixminer, must be an easier way for this, without the waiting times and the start-up time of the Miner itself.

Is there a chance that 3.0 will have dual mine (preferably keccak/blake2s) ?

I do not understand why many people have the dual mining function waiting for phoenixminer 3.0, it is still possible with calymore dual miner. but what do you shoot with dual mining, costs much more energy and also less hashrate for eth and minimal earnings with the second coin.what do you shoot with this.i personally prefer a miner software that is economical with energy and stable works and high hashrate and more schares eth

Agreed.  I have little experience with mining, but lots tuning PC's with Windows and Ubuntu.  I've tried and tried tweaking the settings on both miners.  With Claymore's dual miner my ETH hashrate drops 10%, and the additional DCR only makes up for a mere fraction of of the loss.  Energy usage is the same regardless of which mining software I use.  So, obviously I'm sticking to phoenix.  Dual mining, at least Claymore's miner, just don't make cent$.

As advised in the previous replies there are so much simpler solutions utilizing wallet transfer of the mined eth... However if you insist on a complex solution then I can program solution utilizing the remote management API and epools.txt. Send a PM message to get my full proposal for the not free solution.

Dual mining is dead. ASICs killed that months ago. Nothing I've seen is profitable dual mining vs solo mining. Not only doesn't it cover the extra power used, it loses money, an increases heat. The dev of Phoenix should have stopped code for dual mining once it became clear it wasn't profitable anymore and focused on a linux version for the larger farms.

Not completely but almost, and highly dependent on your power cost
This includes power usage calculations:

To add.. I would just run two instances of phoenix on startup. Program 1 mines 6 GPUS to one wallet, and the other instance will run 2 GPUS to another wallet or however you want to allocate the percentage split. The time limit switching as everyone else has said, is a not as an efficient of an approach.

Here we go again:

So on Claymore v. 11.6 i use This bat file:

Code:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0

Afterburnner config are the same

Whats the problem?
I like verter PM, but With This difference i cannot keep using.

[sergioheadache]

Hello,

i am running 2 different instances of the miner, 1 for nvidia and 1 for amd, its more comfortable for me to control the settings this way,

for now i used -cdm and 2 diferent ports, so i see them in my control panel as 2 miners,

is there an option to see them as 1 miner  ? somehow make the cdm know that there are 2 windows running ?


thanks

[DireWolfM14]

Has anybody used OhGodAnETHlargementPill with Phoenix?  I'm planning on buying a couple of GTX 1080's (hooked on ETH) to add to my rig, and I saw this during a search for expected hash rates.  Does it work with Phoenix?  Is it stable and safe?  Will it affect the longevity of the cards?  Thanks.

ETA is obvious I'm a newbie?  Have I crossed the line? Splain it me Lucy.

I like verter PM, but With This difference i cannot keep using.

After some tests i realized that the extra consumption is on AMD cards. So for now... the solution i'm using is Claymore for AMD cards, and PM for Nvidia cards.

I dont know why but PM is not executing the "in BOLD" command line:
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -pool2 us1.ethermine.org:4444 -wal walletaddress.RIGcozinha -proto 3 -cclock 1150 -mclock 2225 -cvddc 850 -mvddc 850 -log 0

[gsrcrxsi314]

yeah i've noticed that the voltage commands seem to not work at all. and applying drastically low values (like 700mV) do nothing and power consumption is not reduced.

[Metroid]

That is amd drivers, not the miner per se, amd drivers used to be like that, you set and it did, now you have to mod the bios with the voltage you want and you need to write -cvddc xx and you must pray the driver will accept the voltage cause if it does not then it will use another voltage like 950 or even 1150 and you will see your card overheating after few minutes. Most noob miners think is using the correct set voltage but most of the time if you did not do it right then no.

im using the 18.2.1 drivers, not the buggy ass blockchain drivers.

and for reference, claymore applies the voltages correctly on the same system

try again.
