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

[cscheat]

AMD released 20.8.2 driver. I checked it - PM support it. OpenCL still from 20.7.1.
So 20.8.2 can be installed without any difference with 20.7.1 drivers.

i would stick to 20.4.2 drivers for a while.. (very very very stable)

How to use the commands -straps, -vmt1, -vmt2, -vmt3, and -vmr on 1080Ti? I tried -nvmem 2 and the commands still are not recognized.

The miner is not recognizing the commands when I put in the bat file

I have the same problem too :/

Can anyone assist us please

I tried different Radeon driver version for Phoenix 5.0e for my RX 570 4G but non of them are compatible, they've give my rig an error, as of now the 20.4.2 version is very stable for my cards, I already tried the old blockchain driver and it's the same, it gives an error and crash to my rig.

Hi, I'm having problem on one my rig with 5 GTX 1070/1070Ti and PhoenixMiner v5.1c. Rig is crashing every time while DAG file is created. On other rigs with 4 GPU I do not have problems with Rigs crashing. Also Clay is working without problem on this rig with 5GPUs. I would like to use PhoenixMiner but I do not know what is the problem. Also I've tried few nVidia drivers no difference. This Rig was off for last year and I've started back mining few days ago. Does someone have idea what could be problem with this Rig? Thanks

Just quick update, in my case problem was faulty riser card. After replacing with new one PhoenixMiner is working just fine. But only what is really confusing how Clay was working with faulty riser when PhoenixMiner didn't want even to start.

What better indicator for bull run we need then scammers coming back with malware/trojan links

[P00P135]

configured miner V. 5.1c <link deleted>

Imagine downloading a miner from an untrusted source.  What could possibly go wrong.

checked! no viruses! there are more than a hundred configured bat files for various pools. this is very convenient.

yes... cause looking at your past post... you definitely have the credibility

this has already been written above. this is really a virus-free miner. it's just a way to increase traffic to the site, that's all.

Or the dev fee address was changed in the source.
I wonder what virus that would be flagged as?

How about just stop "mirroring" and leaving it to the developers please?

So, with -straps 2 on my 1080ti, I get around 48 mh/s on the MINER, but the reported hashrate on the pool (2miners) is only 35 mh/s
On average hashrate on the pool, 35mh/s too

So it does not work well ?

How you managed to run the miner with -straps 2. When I try to use it it give me an error message?

Launch bat file from CMD in administrator mode

Already tried that, but it gives me an error that phoenixminer.exe is not a recognised command.

right click on phoenixminer.exe, select properties,click on the compatibility tab, check run as admin.
                              or
include the full path to phoenixminer.exe in you bat file. (c:\folderwherephoenixminer.exe is\phoenixminer.exe ). run cmd as admin, then you bat file

I tried all the steps everyone has provided and I still get "Invalid option: -straps" or "Invalid option: - nvmem" when I try to put those commands on the batch file

Can someone please give any directions on where I'm making a mistake?

Not in my case, for me they are almost the same.

Hello.

Can PhoenixMiner follow GPU Memory temperature? I red the GDDR6 specification and maximum operating temperature is 95C and AMD lets it go beyond it. Furthermore I would like the memory to run always "cool" at about 80C.

To be more precise I would like to follow the Memory temperature, increase fan speed if too hot and eventually throttle calculation down to spare the GDDR6 memories. The maximum fan speed before throttling could also be parametrized.

Nice miner btw, I am new to the business.

Does anyone know if Phoenix can auto-ignore unsuitable GPUs?

When DAG allocation fails, I just want it to keep mining on the GPUs that have enough RAM. This is useful for automated benchmarking: just mine on the GPUs that work.

Some miners automatically exclude GPUs that are unsuitable for mining. Phoenix doesn't, though.

Has anyone modified their RX 5600 XT memory timings with straps yet? I am experimenting on that and wanted to get some input from someone who has done this already.

First of all, what you are using? if RX 500 series you are capable of using Phoenix miner 5.0e but make sure that you increase your Virtual Memory, how to do it, just go to my computer, property then advance system setting,  under performance select setting, go to advance, you can there the virtual memory, click change, uncheck the automatically manage paging size, click custom size, then put on the box at least 40000, then on the lower box put 50000 to 70000, then you all set. And by the way you should have Radeon Driver 20.4.2

I guess that's not what he meant....

I don't think such an auto-disable-option exist in PhoenixMiner. Once hashrate hits 0 miner automatically restarts. You can, however use -gpus option to disable mining certain coin (ETC?) on 4GB cards and then start another instance of PhoenixMiner selecting them to mine other coins with lower DAG size (ETH with lower epoch). My 4GB 470 and 570 are mining ETH with exactly same speeds for past 2 years. Just updated drivers to recommended ones.
