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

[Deafran]

Guys, like most of you, I've been using Claymore for years and loved every single minute of it.  My 32 gpu's hashed away beautifully.   Since Claymore miner stopped working, I have decided to give PhoenixMiner a try.

I'm hoping someone here can help me makes sense of this.

I've got four (AMD 580 8GB) rigs Mining ETH totalling 32 GPUs.   All are hashing away (according to phoenixminer) between 29-31 mh/s per card, just very similar to what I was getting with Claymore's Miner.  

I'm used to getting well over 1000 mh/s worth of shares with those rigs.  In fact, Nanopool is showing that my reported hashrate is about that as well, except my Current-Hashrate and 6-hour average hashrate hovers around 730 mh/s and my shares reflect that.

I've tried undervolting, not undervolting, adjusting my clock speeds from super high to super low and I"m getting essentially the same results no matter what.   Been testing this for well over a few weeks.

My concern is the amount of shares I'm getting with my little mini-farm.   After hydro expenses I'm left with peanuts.
All that mining equipment I feel is going to waste.


It just seems suspicious and depressing that pointing 32 GPU's (roughtly 1000 mh/s) at a pool with cards that were all performing perfectly for some time are generating substantially less shares, to the point where it almost makes it not all too worth it to mine anymore.   getting about 33.3% less shares, and unfortunately hydro costs are up here in Canada making my 'profits' super bleek and light.  

Anyone know of another miner or any tricks I may be missing to get my fair share of shares for hashpower.

There's gotta be a more viable solution to make use of several thousands of $ in mining equipment with re-occurring monthly expenses.

I'm using the latest AMD drivers and the latest PhoenixMiner.


Is anyone here at all perfectly happy with the performance of their 580 8GB rigs?

question,

at nanopool calculator tab, how much eth you gain in 1 day  ??

I think the developer spends too much time on the problems of AMD 4 gigabytes video cards. A much more important problem is the drop in hashrate on the nvidia 10 series. Why doesn't a developer try to solve it?
Sorry for my english, i use google translator.

Guys can you share your hashrate while dual mining?

Is there changes on the hashrate if you mine on dual mining?
I just want to know because I'm going to mine other coins instead just to improve the profitability because I have high Electricity rate here in my country.

Hope someone could share some tips for high Electricity rate. Thanks

Groovy i think he meant the pool difficulty went up, also i believe it is the pool that sets difficulty for equipment based on how many shares they send in a time frame. If the share is higher difficulty it counts more than a share of lower difficulty so not everything is in share count, if you check whattomine and nanopool how much you earn a month does it match?

hi. I've recently had an issue with my phoenixminer 5.1c. I have 6x 5700XT with  20.3.1 driver and having no crash in the asia1 ethermine pool. my cousin lives near me with the same mining rig and the same pool. my rig was hashing very well until the last few weeks my stales are rising up and my average is going down as I have  50 to 30% stale shares now! while my cousin (with the same net and the same pool and driver) has not!He has under 5% stale share with the same phoenixminer 5.1c . what's wrong?

Hi guys
I'm having a problem with my gtx 1070, it worked well before i was getting 24,6mh hashrate, yesterday it start mining with only 19.3mh, any solution ?
PS : i didn't overclock it before, it's still on stock setting from the first use

did you (or the pc) reset some settings in nvidia controll pannel?

[nani202]

did you (or the pc) reset some settings in nvidia controll pannel?

No, yesterday the hashrate was changed automatically while mining

I fixed this issue by upgrading win7 to win10. Linux is OK too.
no need for a new serial shit even if your win7 is weirdly registered

question,

For my 1000 mh/s Nanopool shows that i receive 0.04526 ETH per day.    

My concern is that my current and average hashrate at the pool-side is always hovering between 520-740 mh/s while the reported hashrate is accurate at 950-1000 mh/s


Mining ETC has no issue with this at all.   Average hashrate is pretty spot on with my reported hashrate.

If the share is higher difficulty it counts more than a share of lower difficulty so not everything is in share count, if you check whattomine and nanopool how much you earn a month does it match?

That was a good idea.

According to whattomine, a hashrate of 950 mh/s should yield $37.37 per day.
According to nanopool, a hashrate of 950 mh/s is yeilding $28.30 per day


Definitely not a match, unfortunately.   

So I'm still scratching my head.

This whole mining business is about estimation! Nothing has or can be written on stone. Things change so quickly minute by minute.

Personally, I am happy with PM. It used to be slower than CM early 2020 but they have caught up with constant updates. My shares and hash rates are in par with many sites like whattomine, coinwarz etc -  so no complain.

devfee is also very fair considering how much time developers work on their miner and now that CM is officially dead, these folks haven't pushed their luck increasing their fee!

You seem to be an expert (and risk taker considering huge cost of hydro in Canada), so no useful advice from me.

EXCEPT - don't let TRM developers / agents with multiple IDs brain wash you.They are simply bunch of reverse engineering wanna-be coders and opportunistic coin suckers all over the 'net any time there's a thread about CM or PM!!

yea i try all ... only on hiveos working
on windows 10 last update , last driver not working

I upgraded one of my boxes to 10 and it fixed the problem without any other updates or anything else needed.  Thanks for the tip.

It's probably Windows as it reserves more memory. Linux (or HiveOS) will get the most out of your 4GB cards. The DAG is over the limit and you're already suffering losses each epoch. My 4GB cards are still getting 22-24MH/s on this epoch.
