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

[Metroid]

so how can we make the fans here to work the same as claymore? any ideas? if i set -tt 60 and -fanmax 90 in claymore, as long the temperature is higher than -tt 60, the -fanmax 90 will always be at 90%, if temperature is 50c then the fan in claymore is around 0% and jumps to 50% and then 0% again, so how this miner can work the same?

Hilarious 

Isn't it? 


My recommendation to that user would be, do your editing and gaming and then dedicate the card just for mining. 

at claymore I can edit and do mining at the same time with only 3-5 Mh lost. I'm asking the developer if it possible in phoenix miner.

Trying to get JsonRPC responses from Phoenix, having some serious issues, If someone could tell me what I did wrong on this I would greatly appreciate it, this code works perfectly fine for Claymore's but for PhoenixMiner it doesnt do anything.

Code:

try
{
var clientSocket = new System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient();

if (clientSocket.ConnectAsync("127.0.0.1", 3337).Wait(5000))
{
string get_menu_request = "{\"id\":0,\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"miner_getstat1\"}\n";
NetworkStream serverStream = clientSocket.GetStream();
byte[] outStream = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(get_menu_request);
serverStream.Write(outStream, 0, outStream.Length);
serverStream.Flush();

byte[] inStream = new byte[clientSocket.ReceiveBufferSize];
serverStream.Read(inStream, 0, (int)clientSocket.ReceiveBufferSize);
string _returndata = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(inStream);

if (_returndata.Length == 0)
{
throw new Exception("Invalid data");
}

Console.WriteLine(_returndata);


}
else
{

}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
Console.WriteLine(ex.StackTrace);
stats.ex = ex;
logger.LogWrite("Host socket exception: " + ex.ToString());
}

Appreciate the help.

In version 2.9e, after closing the miner such errors:

https://d.radikal.ru/d09/1805/62/a1e05b06891d.jpg

In version 2.8c everything is fine. Video cards 1070 and 1070 Ti.

Hi
how to solve this
I`m using PhoenixMiner 2.9e and  have this error every 10 min
2018.05.17:19:27:32.267: eths Eth: Unable to read pool response: The semaphore timeout period has expired
2018.05.17:19:27:32.267: eths Eth: Reconnecting in 20 seconds...

[Denis1916]

how it works
-gpus <123 ..n> Use only the specified GPUs

write
-gpus <1235>

and "file not found"

[pinamalina]

how it works
-gpus <123 ..n> Use only the specified GPUs

write
-gpus <1235>

and "file not found"

Use as:
-gpus 1235
It will use only cards 1, 2, 3 and 5 and will ignore all other cards. e..g. card 4, 6, ...

The "<>" stands as a standard placeholder indicating a mandatory parameter/option.
For example "[]" would indicate an optional parameter.

This would be a result of unstable internet connection. Make sure your router/access point is not rebooting periodically and your PC has a stable internet connection.
The miner connects to the pool and keeps a connection alive at all times. When your network drops the connection is lost and miner will not really reconnect but establish a new connection.
In some rare cases it could also be an ISP problem with the upstream network.
Check the event viewer, these should be a clear message from Windows indicating a connection drop.

Actually it does work like that. Both Phoenix and Claymore have a temperature management matrix (or a function) that translates current temperature/target temperature, min/max speeds into a targeted fan speed.
Addition of the formula/matrix would enrich the documentation, but on the other hand this is "proprietary" part of the code that is not likely to be revealed. PH correct me if I am wrong.

If you wish you could  take over the control of the temperature and fans speed on your own with the OC tools.
I am taking control at 2 of my rigs as both GPU self management and PhoenixMiner Tempeature management fail to keep the control over temperature in optimal way (in this particular setups in my opinion).

On the nvidia, I am doing this as part of the OC (setting fans on fixed spin rate) using nvidiainspector.

Code:

start C:\dev\Tools\Guru3D.com\nvidiaInspector.exe -setBaseClockOffset:0,0,-200 -setMemoryClockOffset:0,0,795 -setPowerTarget:0,59 -setTempTarget:0,1,65 -setFanSpeed:0,45

On AMD GPUs I am using overdrive5_64.exe

Code:

overdrive5_64.exe -a 1 -F 45

One more thing. If you have multiple GPUs, then -tt 60 might not be right. Try -tt 60,60,60 ... listing a target temperature for each GPU rather than just one.

It's kinda a copy or claymore but better in my perspective (more info & faster mh/s).

I used exact the same config for PhoenixMiner as I used for Claymore. I've set the mvddc, cvddc, cclock, memclock to a specific value for each card. I have 6x RX 580 8gb and i've set for every individual card a value.
Claymore was consuming 850W and a hashrate of 181mh/s.
I tried PhoenixMiner 2.9e (exact parameters) and it uses 1200W !!!! I didn't know it was doing that because I used teamviewer. So after like 4 minutes I checked my miner in the basement because the temperature of the cards also increased. And then I saw 1200W for a 1000W PSU..... I immediatly switched the power off.

Now I do have 2 questions:

1. How did it consume 350W more?
2. Did I badly damage my 1000W gold+ PSU?

Thanks

I'm betting that you are running the AMD blockchain drivers?  If so, then I had the same experience with Phoenix miner + blockchain drivers.  The cmd line clock and voltage settings did not take effect.  Once I upgraded to Adrenaline 18.3.4, then Phoenix worked perfectly.... I find it to be more stable than Claymore for sure.

As for your question about damaging the PSU, probably not.  The wattage rating on a PSU is what the unit is expected to OUTPUT... in your case, 1000W.  However, it is not perfectly efficient, so draw from the wall will be higher.  If your PSU is gold rated (80% efficient), then at maximum capacity, it should be pulling about 1200W at the wall.  This isn't a good thing to do in practice, since it generates a lot of heat and leaves no headroom for the system to get any more power (which would cause instability / crashes), and efficiency decreases at higher loads which means more $$ for power.  But if you only ran like that for a few minutes, then you don't need to worry about damage.  1000W PSU is pretty borderline for 6 580's, but if it's working for you then great.

As I said before, try the 18.3.4 drivers (and make sure you enable compute mode in settings) and run PheonixMiner again with your voltage tweaks.

What is ram and what is your virtual memory right now? thx

[Yellow_donkey]

So I have a very basic question I would like to verify.  Say I am Mining EtherGem solo through Geth.  That coin Difficulty goes up and down and right now it goes from 700 MH to about 1.2 GH Difficulty.  When I login to my miners and see a miner that has been for like 5 days and it stats the highest difficulty level for found block and it states something like 120 GH, why does it have a result that is some 120 x more difficult then what is needed to win the block?

And is that what that does mean, I found something in the 5 day period at 120 GH?!  If so that is pretty awesome, if that si what it means.  Thank you.

Hello all - could really use some help here.

I switched from Claymore 11.6 to PhoenixMiner 2.9e due to the DAG and MSWindows 10 issues that prevent the nVidia 1060 3GB cards from working.  However for the last 3 weeks I have been getting an illegal memory error:

 GPU10 CUDART error in CudaProgram.cu:127 : an illegal memory access was encountered (77)
2018.05.15:15:13:00.328: GPU11 CUDA error in CudaProgram.cu:102 : an illegal memory access was encountered (700)

To be clear, I can no longer get the nVidia 1060 cards to work with Claymore or PhoenixMiner on ETH or PIRL....

OC'ing the cards seems to be a common cause, but I'm not OCing the cards, I can't even get to the point of doing that...

Would welcome any thoughts, I can't seem to find any solutions online.

Russell

The memory errors I have no idea.
But should should start shopping for new cards with a minimum of 4GB memory.
At best you probably have a few weeks or a month or so left on the usage of those 3GB cards.
Then you won't be able to mine with them on  Ethereum.

See:  https://investoon.com/tools/dag_size

3GB cards will last into 2019 with windows7 or Linux

[BeretvaJanos]

At DAG update [so every 5 days and a few hours] I'm running into the issue as per the screenshot:

https://pasteboard.co/HlSWewG.png

I tried to find in readme file whether there's a fix for this; I already have 16 GB of virtual memory allocated so that shouldn't be the issue.

The cards in question are all nvidia, so the codes suggested won't work [as it says in title only for AMD].

Any help is appreciated!

Cheers,

Greg

[Digital_Seytan]

Phoenixminer developer, if you are working on a newer version of this miner software. Give it also by which version of the nvidia driver you also use, because often the different drivers of nvdia different results and also different problems, to avoid all this also indicate which version you work with.

this is a bug with only vega 64. after windows update and 18.4.1 i have seen. no fix yet as PM seems to have built vega kernals with only a vega 56. Hopefully in new version its fixed.
