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

[alex31]

So many rejected shares on 5.0x verisions... About 1-1.2% overall rejected shares (not stales or incorrect) on my RX 580 8Gb rigs...

   Could you please tell us on which pools? This is normal on nicehash, as it doesn't accept stale shares and they count as rejected shares, and it seems that recently nicehash started changing the jobs more often, leading to more rejected shares.

Yes, it's on nicehash. Is there some way to correct show these stale shares?

 more correct way is to switch to another pool / as Phoenix wrote:

There is nothing you can do unless you connect the display to 8 GB or 6 GB card. As this isn't possible in your case, you can instead run separate instance of PhoenixMiner for just GPU1 (adding the argument -gpus 1) and use a pool that only mines ETH. The other five cards will run on another instance of PhoenixMiner (with -gpus 23456), that can mine both ETH and ETC.

How to make this? With a 2 bat files? I will have 2 miners on the screen or is it possible to make in one?

hello,

I have 2 rigs where the GPU 1 still don't mine ETH :/
and the one which works, have the same problem when I bench epoch 360

W10, latest AMD drivers, 4Go GPU, -eres 0.

Problem is, on the opposite of claymore, phoenix reboot the miner automatically instead of having GPU 1 at 0 hashrate and letting the rest mine.
normallyall my rigs have the same configuration, I don't know why it works better on somme than on other.

Does someone have an idea?
thx

Yes with two .bat files. It is not possible to do this with one instance of PM. If you use config.txt: Create one config1.txt for the first instance and one config2.txt for the second instance. In the .bat file for the first instance add/ or replace  -config parameter: ... -config config1.txt ... . In the .bat file for the second instance add/replace  ... -config config2.txt ...

If you see "Unknown OpenCL driver version! Hashrate and stale shares may suffer" than clean reinstall your driver. If your virtual memory is less then (GPUS_count + 1) * 4 GB, than increase it.
If you don't have integrated video or 8GB card set as first GPU than exclude first GPU from mining: -gpus 2,3,..., LAST_GPU_INDEX
Run second instance of PM and mine another EtHash algo based coin (Ethereum still possible until epoch 250, after that choose one of these: https://2cryptocalc.com/ethash-algorithm ) with the first GPU, by adding: -gpus 1

Run notepad as administrator.

Is there a problem with PhoenixMiner 5.e windows 10
I can not mine it continues to shut down
Not as stable as it was to be

I have resolved the problem increasing the virtual memory
Control Panel --> System and Security --> System --> Advanced System Settings --> Performance: Settings --> Advanced --> Virtual Memory: Change --> Custom size: Initial size=64000, Maximum size 64000 --> OK

I am glad

why did my miner stop when I started to DAG # 352? and doesn't reboot by itself,

Yes, it's on nicehash. Is there some way to correct show these stale shares?

   We only can detect a part of stale shares - these that are discovered after we have received a new job. However, due to the delay in the pool itself and the network latency, most stale shares can not be discovered at miner level. So we send these shares and nicehash rejects them. We could take into account when the job last changed and if a share is rejected soon after a job has changed we can count it as stale instead of rejected but this won't be 100% reliable. However the bigger problem is that nicehash really doesn't count the stale shares at all unlike other pool that give reduced reward for stale shares, so it won't be correct to count them as stale in the statistics - you won't get any reward from them anyway.

There is nothing you can do unless you connect the display to 8 GB or 6 GB card. As this isn't possible in your case, you can instead run separate instance of PhoenixMiner for just GPU1 (adding the argument -gpus 1) and use a pool that only mines ETH.

How to make this? With a 2 bat files? I will have 2 miners on the screen or is it possible to make in one?

  Yes, make two different bat files and run them both. You will have two console windows, it's not possible to combine them as they are independent from each other. One thing to be aware of, if you are using remote control port, is to change the port number in one of the bat files to something else than the default port with this command-line argument: -cdmport 3334 (this will change the remote control port to 3334, the default is 3333).

   An obvious question but are you running PhoenixMiner 5.0e? If so, please send us a log to check for any problems in it.

why did my miner stop when I started to DAG # 352? and doesn't reboot by itself,

  Please tell us the driver version and the Windows version, and the version of PhoenixMiner that you are running. Also, the log from the start would help much more than just the last several lines.

Could you help me with this? I watch a lot of videos in information about the 5700XT, with Hashrate of 56/57 MHS ...

I have managed to reach that speed by modifying the timings of the BIOS, but the RIG crashes, I can only keep it stable around 54.5Mhs, if I upload OC from memory to get more speed, it hangs in a few minutes or in several hours.

Is there a way to make the 5700XT stable with 56MHS and the Rig not crash?

If you want to be stable after overclock you should raise the voltage and/or lower the target temperature. As the voltage of memory could not be change for 5700XT your only chance is to lower the target temperature -tt which will indirectly reduce the memory temperature. You can aslo lower -cclock and -cvddc in order to reduce the temperature of the memory indirectly too.

Thank you very much for answering but I don't think that's the problem, because the temperature of my GPUs is between 45 and 55 degrees all day.

What temperature should the memory have to avoid having blocking problems with a higher OC? I didn't know that reducing the core clock would lower the memory temperature, is this true?

solve trouble with pool switch crashing. old bat file option -retrydelay 1 bad. change to -retrydelay 10 all ok

Hi there,

I've been running 5e for a couple of days, but just today, Windows Defender is saying it's detected a Trojan:

Trojan:Win32/Bomitag.D!ml
E:\PhoenixMiner_5.0e_Windows\PhoenixMiner.exe

Any comments?

It will make you easy (lower fan speed %) to keep the temperature bellow 45 degree and this may indirectly reduce the memory temperature.
