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

[hesido]

You can find the script here:
Powershell script to run batch based on display adapter count

You can place the .cmd file in shell:startup, but since I need admin priv. for AMD mem timings I use task scheduler to run the script at startup with admin privileges.

Where is the "devcon" program mentioned there?

I think it can be found here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/devcon
But the one I'm using is the one bundled with SRBMiner (the old, discontinued miner had it in the last versions), so I didn't have to bother download anything else. May switch to pnputil like advised here but devcon just does the job.

Whats the difference in revenue between a big pool like starkpool and flexpool ?

Small pools have more variance, is more based on luck, but a back to back 3-4 low effort blocks can pay for the whole week. Then again, they are going to be balanced by a few 200% effort blocks. With the fee market changing rapidly, there's now variance on top of variance, you may miss a high fee block during the day, or hit a couple of blocks right during the peak. It should still balance in the long run, but mining on a small pool is as close I'm practically going to get to solo mining "feels"!

hello guys, help me to mine with dual mining.

to stay eth on ethermine, and to mine another coin with its pool thanks

hello guys, help me to mine with dual mining.

to stay eth on ethermine, and to mine another coin with its pool thanks

Good luck with that, dual mine ONLY work with Blake2s as secondary (according to Phoenix), I tried many times using different pools and even the default nicehash in the miner documents, it just doesn't work. The miner will show connection to the pool but will not start hashing.

Hi all, I want to change cards, I'm actually using rx580Nitro+ 4GB, but want to go for either rx580Nitro+ 8GB or gtx1070, or vega 56, considering prices, which is the best option at the present time? Even other cards would be fine, which is the best compromise for power consumption/price/hashrate now? Thanks in advance

While changing cards, is it a good idea to use 4GB cards to mine another currency? Or would it be better to still use them on ETH even with low profit?

You can't mine etc on 4Gb at all anymore, try etc or other ethash coins. As for the price of GPUs, good luck finding 1, that is if you are willing to pay 2-3x over retail for one. Even used gpus on eBay is selling at 2x the retail of a brand new one. Anything with less than 8Gb is useless for eth.

[skinnyfalcon]

Can you help me please. I have 4x Rx580 and 1x Rx5700, and amd driver randomly crashed. In log i can see hashrate of rx5700 jump high 469mh, and drop to 0mh.

The same thing happens on 20.9.1 and 20.11.2 version driver. I revert default clock for rx5700 and problem it happens again.

Do you have advice how to solve this problem.

i use 5.4c Phoenix miner.

Are yo using the phoenix miner's hardware control? ie. cclock, mclock, tt
If so, is the AMD wattman running in the background as well? If these 2 are both implemented your rig will crash with the symptoms you are describing (hash dropping to 0), guess how i know lol. I deleted all HW controls from the phoenix startup, I now run 24/7 with 0 crash for weeks.

OK, and what about Aeternity? It looks still promising with rx580 4Gb cards.. or do you think it's a waste of resources?

You can check whats profitable for cpu mining on whattomine and decide. Ethereum is the only crypto currently out of the 4Gb capability.

I have 5 x 5700xt all the same card, but when I set the undervolt on my cards either in the .bat file, or through afterburner... the watts per card are all differnt, like 30watt difference.
Im using the latest version of Phoenix Miner, any ideas on whats happening?

Not sure how to display a pictures but it will say like GPU1: 98w, GPU2 1122W, GPU3 132W

Have you tried using GPU-Z to confirm the different w?  I would try to use OverdriveNTool to make sure they are all set the same.

Hey guys

Been using phoenixminer and liking it , i’m hashing at 130mhs constantly on nanopool .Barely any stale share . I see my hashrate reported between 120-130 .

Now when i look on whattomine , i shpuld be generating .21 to .24eth a month but i seem to be getting .2 only .

Any of u guys have been in this situation and were able to fix it ?

Thanks

Try mining on a different pool, maybe Ethermine. Having said that I wouldn't say no if more people joined flexpool, it's a small pool with bigger variance but it's worth a shot. The PPLNS window is too long so don't worry about inial estimates being too low, you will be getting full rewards in a couple blocks found by pool and you will keep on receiving after you leave for a couple of blocks found.

Greetings, I had that dilemma for a while and in the end after several tests I stayed in Nanopool because the payment was always higher.
In Ethermine I found more shares but we know that they are worth 3 times less than Nanopool shares and in the end the payment should be the same or very approximate in the 2 pools but in my case I have received a higher payment in Nanopool.

On the other hand, you should know that the information provided by whattomine is referenced by the Linux system.

What does it do if its referenced by linux ?

[rasmukri]

I just realized something about this miner the DevFee yes I know it's there and all and it does it's thing but I normally mine in a pool so it's whatever.
I have one computer with 53mh/s solo mining ETH yes it's like playing the lotto that's the point.
What happens if I find a block while the DevFee is running does than mean I will lose my whole block and reward?
If so oh shit oh shit oh shit what do y'all recommend I do to prevent that from happening?

[CGS_CC]

When straps are set does it show on the log that they have been set?

[str8psych0]

I have tried multiple formats but can't get subaccount to show my mining progress in sparkpool, I can only check current hashrates etc by looking up wallet address from their homepage. Using Phoenixminer current BAT file:

My subaccount is something similar to this: sp_ghjt1

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eth-us.sparkpool.com:3333 -wal "this is where my metamask address is" -worker sp_ghjt1.1234 -epsw x

What am I missing? Thanks for any help

The new features in this release are:

• Added native kernels for AMD RX6800 and RX6900 GPUs. These are faster than the generic kernels and produce a lot less stale shares
• Updated kernels for AMD Polaris, Vega and Navi GPUs that are slightly faster and use less power than before when mining ETH. To use these updated kernels, you need to use drivers 20.5.1 or later under Win10, or 20.10.x or later under Linux
• The Nvidia mining cards (P106, P104, etc.) can now use straps and hardware control options (power limit, memory overclock, max temperature, etc.) under Windows
• Added support for AMD Linux drivers 20.45-1164792 and 20.45-1188099. Use this drivers only if you have RX6800 or RX6900 GPU. WARNING: Vega and Navi GPUs wont' work with these drivers!
• Automatically set -ttli instead of -tmax when the later is not supported by the driver. This will throttle down the GPUs when they reach the specified temperature to avoid overheating

If you have RX6800 or RX6900 card, do not use the PhoenixMiner hardware control options (-cclock, -mclock, etc.) because there is yet another undocumented change in OverDrive and some of them will work, but some won't with weird results - we will implement them properly in the next version. Instead use the AMD control panel to set the card parameters. Good starting point are the following options: core clock 1500 MHz, mem clock 2050 MHz, core voltage 800 mV, set faster memory timings, and a custom fan curve to  keep the temperature below 65-66 C.

Please let us know if you have any problems or questions related to PhoenixMiner 5.5b.

5.5b works stably on my old RX 580

everything is ok,

i have confugered on 3 rig

1) rx580 3x - eth hash (80mhs)
2) asus 1070 6x - eth hash (180mhs)
3) asus 1070 6x - eth hash (180mhs)

i am mining eth on ethermine and zilla on ruspool..
on rustpool it says that i have a 400mhs and all 3 workers are making 15, 17, 17 shares

i have a question why there is no difference between my (80mhs) rig and (180mhs) rig? why are they making almost same shares.. do i have to add something to my bat file in config?

i have a same bat file on 3 rigs and i think that i have to add or change some command to my 180mhs rigs to get more shares for zilla.. here is my config file:

Phoenixminer.exe -epool eu-zill.rustpool.xyz:8008 -ewal (myethadress) -epsw (myzilladress)@eu1.ethermine.org:4444@4g -eworker (myusername) -allpools 1 -allcoins 1

and here is the creens of my 180mhs rigs and there is said maximum eth difficulty are differents

Hi all.

Does anybody have Asus Radeon RX 5700 ROG Strix OC 8GB (ROG-STRIX-RX5700-O8G-GAMING)?

I want to know what is the mining speed and power consumption of this card in PhoenixMiner.

Is hashrate really fluctuating with Phoenix Miner?  My radeon 7 and rx5700 hashrates are very inconsistent. GT on autotune, driver 20.12.1. I tried Team Red Miner and it was consistent.

Hi,

I've been mining successfully for about 2 month now - no reboots. PhoenixMiner has been working perfectly.

All of a sudden about 2 hours ago, I'm getting every share rejected.

I've tried switching to Nanopool but I get the same.

Any ideas?
