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

[max64rus]

I wanted to report an issue I ran into on v5.2e for mixed-gen ETH mining on one XFX RX 5700 8GB + one XFX RX 480 8GB + one MSI RX 480 8GB on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS (via minerstatOS) with amdgpu-pro v19.30 drivers.  When I upgraded to v5.2e, I saw my RX 5700 take approximately an hour to build its DAG file, and then yield 0 hashrate, and the two RX 480s only produced about a third of their normal hashrate.  I previously saw the same behavior with all PhoenixMiner v5.1x versions, as well.

Rolling back to v5.0e immediately resolves the issue without a reboot.  I have used a few versions of the PhoenixMiner for about ten months on this mixed-gen rig without issue, so this has been something introduced after v5.0e.  In case it's any help, I am including a few log excerpts, though I never saw any suspicious messages or error logs to report.

I had same problem, the rig has NVIDIA and AMD cards.
I decided to look for alternatives.
Half day i use gminer, hash rate is about the same, there are no problems, + they promise few stale shares.

are there really people who fall for these tricks?

So boring all those posts with scam and spam

Every time, I hope an announcement about the new version with ETC new algo supported

[Permonik]

Hi guys, do you know if phoenixe will release new version for ETC mining? Hardfork will be within two days...

He is working on this, I think it will be ready on time.

Phoenix i need your help

Can i insert an .bat for when the miner restart from watchdog to call my overdriventool configs?

Sometime one gpu got reseted and how we know gets power hungry

Don´t find this option in readme -rmode help.

or instead call my bat in PM starts do the same on restart from watchdog? 

Thanks

The new beta version with ETCHash support is ready. You can download PhoenixMiner 5.3b from here:

https://github.com/PhoenixMinerDevTeam/files (github)

If you want to check the integrity of the downloaded file, please use the following hashes (you need the last file PhoenixMiner_NVRTC_Windows.zip only if you want to mine BCI with Nvdia cards under Windows):

The new features in this release are:

• Added support for the new ETCHash algorithm that will be used by the ETC blockchain from Nov 28, 2020. If you want to mine ETC, you should add -coin etc to your command-line, or , COIN: etc to your epools.txt file. See the start_miner_etc.bat and epools_example.txt files for examples

Here is a full command-line example for mining ETC (IMPORTANT: replace the ETC address with your own ETC wallet address in the -wal option, Rig001 is the name of the rig):

Code:

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool ssl://eu1-etc.ethermine.org:5555 -wal 0x008c26f3a2Ca8bdC11e5891e0278c9436B6F5d1E.Rig001 -coin etc

Here are a couple of epools.txt lines for ETC mining:

Code:

POOL: ssl://eu1-etc.ethermine.org:5555, WAL: 0x008c26f3a2Ca8bdC11e5891e0278c9436B6F5d1E.Rig001, COIN: etc
POOL: etc-eu1.nanopool.org:19999, WAL: 0x008c26f3a2Ca8bdC11e5891e0278c9436B6F5d1E.Rig001, COIN: etc

If you do not intend to mine Ethereum Classic (ETC) you can stay on PhoenixMiner 5.2e for now because there are no other significant changes besides the support for ETCHash. Please let us know if you have any problems or questions related to PhoenixMiner 5.3b.

[W.T.R.]

Tnx for the update. Will the switch come automatically after reaching epoch #390?

Hello PhoenixMiner

I am trying bench mode on ETC to test my RX580 4G, but RAM size seams still too low

you should bench on the ETC test net

[laineux]

Ok, I tried :

Code:

PhoenixMiner.exe -bench 400 -coin ETC -pool mordor.pool.fault.dev:8008  -wal 0x008c26f3a2Ca8bdC11e5891e0278c9436B6F5d1E.Rig001 

But connexion to pool is rejected.

Nobody is using this pool now. I supposed, it is broken...

Dude 400epoch wrong after fork it will be 195

@Phoenix thanks for update. waiting for next update with srtraps for polaris cards.

Does 5.2e is ready for ETC Thanos hardfork?

[alizali]

even with 5.3b no more ETH mining is available on 4GB card right now
yes?
am i right or something wrong with my rigs?
we have to wait for ETC update or is there any better way?

I will be still possible for more than a month using Linux.

Just wait 1 more day then will be mining etc with 4g cards like old good days again, im again exited thanks etc. Finally someone figured out that big dag size not good. hope ASICs stay away and profit will be the same

i use hiveos
but got wrong hashrate (59M for each card 470) and a lot of invalid shares

[bit-sokol]

Every of my RX 580 8Gb drop in hashrate by ~3 Mh on epochs over ~380 on 5.1c.

[miner1987]

Hello,
My R570 4GB are working now under Phoenix but my R9 290 4GB not. Any advice ?
Thank you !!
