can someone tell me how can we set pool difficulty manualy on the miner ?
didn't find it anywhere  Embarrassed even on the readme.txt

It depends on the pool.
If a pool allows that, you will find how to set diff on their website.

I need to report, that using 5.3b insted 5.1c (HiveOs) i`m getting few mhash per rig more.
i`ve started to use : -rxboost 1 -gt 1 - what else can i use ?
My stuff - RX580, p106, 1660 super, 1660Ti, RX5700.
gt 1 Huh? delete it. let miner auto tune your cards. with -gt 1 ofcourse you will get few mhs.

I cant seem to extract the file folder from the zip (5.3b)... why is that? it keeps giving me an error for all the .bat files:

0x80004005: Unspecified Error

Newb mistake... was using windows default zip app. Needed winzip which allowed me to enter the p/w.

Thanks!

Windows 10 please....

also could be bad gpu or risers

ok,.. i'll try to update to win10

after 6 more hours make update to win10.. (i can't sleep.. here 4:54AM now)  Grin
used AMD Driver 12.4.2 >>> i can see my GPU all work in device manager  Grin
patch by 'atikmdag-patcher-1.4.7'
switch to compute mode by 'AMD-Compute-Switcher'


but,...
using Phoenix miner 5.2e and 5.3b still same, hashrate still not change like before..

here is the result:

https://i.postimg.cc/sX80gWyS/updateresult.jpg

any suggestion to make RX480 back to 30Mhs..?
thanks

trying to run 2 phoenixminers at same time.
one for etc 4gb and the rest are 8gb  with eth.
i have them both admin rights but get an error.
unable to start cdm server at port 3333. only one usage of each socket
any ideas?

i looked into the readme
what will -cdm 0 do for me?
is it safe?
it seems to be working that way
thanks for help

Yes sir. Updated windows to latest drivers. Nvidia drivers aswell. Added 65000 virtual mem. Also tried less to see if anything changes. Still nothing. Sad

Win10 user here with a single RTX 2060 Super, and 24GB of virtual memory page file already configured on my gaming PC.

Recently upgraded to Phoenix Miner 5.2e for testing on Nicehash & ETH on Ethermine, but I am still getting the same problem as before when I was on 5.1c - Phoenix would simply crash at random with no warning or errors after several hours of mining.  I have looked at the logs and the common theme I've been seeing is that it crashes during the DAG file creation process.  Below is a sample of the final moments as captured by the Phoenix log just before the miner crashes.

This problem also occurs at random epochs, regardless of the pool, or any -eres or -lidag values I use in the config file.  I tried to mitigate this with the -rmode parameter (wdog is enabled by default) but it does not work.  The problem also manifests itself with or without the NiceHash Miner client running....

The OC is what I would consider relatively mild - 1650mhz cclock (+100) / 765mV vCore (53% power limit) / 7650mhz mclock (+650), and has been working very stable for me in the past.  I have also specified -nvdo 1 on the config settings and also rolled back my NVidia drivers back to v432.00, and I also confirm that the Phoenix Miner EXE file is on my AntiVirus exception list. 

I am at a complete loss and appear have hit a brick wall (yet again) - any suggestions or ideas on what else would be causing this problem?

PhoenixMiner 5.3b is officially released. You can find the download link and the checksums in the first post of this thread.

It is the same release as the one that was released two days ago, so if you are already running it, there is no need to upgrade. Also, 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.

  Remove the -straps command - it is not supported on Polaris GPUs. Then try mining ETC to see the normal hashrate (you need PhoenixMiner 5.3b) when the DAG actually fits in the VRAM.

You won't be able to mine ETH with full speed on 4 GB cards under Windows any more but it will be more like 20-23 MH/s with the current DAG epoch and will go down a little with each new epoch - you will need to let auto-tine to finish in order to see the final hashrate.

   Even with the error they will work side by side but one of them won't be accessible via the remote port (the one that is started second). To avoid this, change the remote control port in one of the instances to something else than the default 3333, for example -cdmport 3334
   It is also a good idea to run the instances from different folders to avoid mixing up the log files, .bat files, config files, etc.

   The problem is here: GPU4 GPU4: CUDA memory: 3.00 GB total, 2.43 GB free - Windows "eats" the VRAM of your GPU and only 2.43 GB are free. You need at least 2.5 GB for the ETC DAG buffer.






Hi.
Will you add preloaded DAG 0 for ZIL mining. Thank you.
   We will see what we can do in the next release.





5.3 why it autoswitch from ethermine to miningpoolhub wtf
maybe dev fee ?

Its not returning back to ethermine, its not dev fee, its robbery!
    No, miningpoolhub is not used for devfee on ETC, nor it is possible to switch to it "automatically". You either have downloaded fake copy of PhoenixMiner from somewhere (the only official sources are our posts in this thread, including the checksums to verify the download), or you are just making things up.

   The only suggestion that comes to mind is to check temperatures, and to remove the core and memory overclock for a while to see if this makes a difference.

IMPORTANT! Ethereum Classic (ETC) network switched to a modified version of ethash, called ETCHash. If you are mining ETC you must upgrade to PhoenixMiner 5.3b or later, otherwise you will get only rejected shares when mining ETC.

The current ETC DAG is 195 instead of 390, with corresponding "shrinking" of the DAG buffer to about 2.5 GB. With this DAG size you will be able to mine with 3GB and 4GB cards without problems. After that, each DAG epoch on the ETC network will be twice as long, so the DAG size will grow with half the speed as before. As a result, it will be possible to mine ETC with 4GB cards for about 4 more years.

The switch went without problems, all our test rigs switched to the new DAG and are mining normally. You may need to run auto-tuning again if to get an optimal speed with the new DAG size.
