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

[br2459]

Hello everyone,  if you can help me; merci beaucoup !

I tried everything i could think of but i guess i'm really bad with this stuff.
I have a rig 6x580 which works perfectly but i can't seem to make my NVIDIA 1070 mine on my gaming pc.
Anyone has an idea for me ?

I thought it was Windows defender (which i disabled and/or added an exception)
Then i thought it was the driver thingy (explained on the front page) did all the steps and still miner doesnt start.
I have a feeling it's a dumb mistake on my part, any one has a clue ?
(Raised virtual memory to 36k, just in case) nada..

Here is where i get stuck:

Thanks for any input

Did you download the miner from this forum or from another location? The ones from other locations are malicious..

Hi there.
Having some problems with my RIG (2x rx580 NITRO + 8GB with PhoenixMiner 5.3b Windows)
Recently started my RIG again, update the drivers to 19.7.5.

The problem is sometimes at startup one GPU get lower hashrate, like 6mh/s, the other one gets normal speeds. What I think is the time to update DAG file in each GPU, one of them get to 100% first. I get 63~64mh/s when both get to start well.
Someone have a solution for this?

Hi, I have those cards in my rigs, that happened to me and I managed to solve it by lowering the memory clock, you can start from 2000 MHz onwards. I don't know what memory model you have (Samsung, Hynix or Micron) or the other configurations. It is important that you check if you are generating memory errors with this HWiNFO64 application because many of the failures come from those memory errors

Hello everyone,  if you can help me; merci beaucoup !

I had this errors with the 460.79 Nvidia driver.

I'm waiting for Phoenix's solution and more DAG epoch to be added.

Hi. I just started getting interested in mining. Can I mine Bitcoin on CPU with Phoenix Miner? Thank you for your help.

Try it,
Satoshi you have not been interested in mining for a long time)

What is Satoshi? I'm asking about Bitcoin and the Phoenix Miner program...

[bit-sokol]

i see an error:
No available GPUs for mining. Please check your drivers and/or hardware
i use 460.79 Nvidia

Is there a serious bug in 5.3b? Perhaps its secretly mining dev fee?

Othput is fine against ethermine, everything looks normal. However nothing is reported at the site. Seems to happen after about 24 hours.

We are talking several rigs here...

most likely this is overclocking

[Shlimann]

I am seriously worried that the developer will disappear like Claymore.
Therefore, you need to add DAG Epoch support to the program in advance.

The dev doesnt need to do anything.  Maybe try asking nicely instead of demanding.  The dev owes you nothing.

[Shlimann]

One Vega 56 referent (64 bios, samsung mem) have hardware errors:
[48C, fan 95%]       ethash: 48.36Mh/s, avg 48.54Mh/s, pool 47.27Mh/s a:9112 r:0 hw:164

Any recomendations?

thanks

[Baldezh2016]

Are you still mining? 

Ether promised:

• change the algorithm (ProgPow)
• Go to Proof of Stake
• Launch Eth 2.0

Really, you think that PhoenixMiner after spending years to gain the trust of users and after gaining several millions $ in dev fee would take the useless risk to secretly add hidden mining fee and lose years of mining fee for this ?
People are really dumb this days

I have a rig 6x580 which works perfectly but i can't seem to make my NVIDIA 1070 mine on my gaming pc.

Bro, can you tell me your config file for your rig ?  I have the same farm, but before that I used different mining software.

The changes in this release (since 5.4b) include the following:

• Added support for DAG epochs up to 500
• Fixed crash (or GPUs not detected error) when using the latest Windows Nvidia drivers 460.79 and 460.89
• Validated support for Nvidia RTX 3090, 3080, 3070, and 3060Ti GPUs. Those still use the current kernels and there are no speed increases from the previous PhoenixMiner release
• Add support for the older AMD Linux driver 19.50-1011208-ubuntu-18.04 (used by some Linux mining OSes and other software)
• Added new kernels to allow mining on AMD Hawaii cards (R9 390, etc.) with the current and future DAG epochs (even with DAG buffer above 4GB for the 8GB cards). Note that the AMD Windows drivers do not support compute mode for Hawaii cards, so the hashrate will be quite low (14-15 MH/s with the current ETH DAG epoch). This problem is fixed under Linux, where you can get the full 29-30 MH/s speed out of the Hawaii cards.

The changes of the previous beta (5.4b) since the last version (5.3b) are:

• New kernels for AMD Vega and Navi GPUs that are slightly faster when the DAG buffer is approaching or passing 4GB in size (the current ETH DAG is close to 4GB). To use these new kernels, you need to use drivers 20.5.1 or later under Win10, or 20.10.x or later under Linux
• Automatic re-running auto-tune as needed when switching to a different DAG buffer type (e.g. when switching from ETH to ETC, or back)
• Added support for the latest AMD Windows 10 drivers 20.12.1 and 20.11.3
• Fixed crash when trying to set -mvddc on very old AMD drivers (including the beta blockchain drivers from 2017)
• Other small fixes and improvements

Some notes on the best (or at least some of the better) drivers for AMD cards:

• If you have 6GB or 8GB card that is at least Polaris (i.e. 470/480/570/580, Vega, Radeon VII, Navi), you should run at least driver 20.5.1 under Windows 10, or driver 20.10.x under Linux.
• If you have 4GB Polaris card (i.e. 470/480/570/580), ideally you should also run drivers 20.5.1 or later. At the very least the drivers should be either 18.12.1.1 to 19.7.5 (inclusive), or 19.12.2 and later. Under Linux, drivers 19.x.x or 20.x.x should be OK for 4GB cards.
• Avoid using the 20.40.x, and 20.45.x drivers under Linux.

Dual mining Ethash & Blake2s does not work on AMD RX5700. PM is always using Ethash OCL kernels (gfx1010; -clkernel 1)
I have not seen this problem documented anywhere.

Dear @PhoenixMiner,

Since some versions I had my miner stuck after a while on 2 RIGs with 6x RX470 (drivers 20.5.1 like recommended).

"Fatal Debugger..."

When I removed the options "-timeout xxxx -rmode 1" no more "Fatal Debugger ..."

Thanks for this !
Anyway, wich % hashrate boost can we expect with future versions with next kernels for rtx 3xxx ?
