Anybody got Nicehash installed? Can you please ZIP the entire directory: C:\Users\<Your User>\AppData\Local\Programs\NiceHashMiner Or just the miner if you can find it, and upload to MEGA, https://filebin.net or somewhere? Let's find out what the hell NH did and what checksums they matched. I'll also put the miner through some malware sandboxes. Hi, created an account just to respond to this haha. Not sure how helpful it will be but I have a NiceHash installation I last used in January this year just to compare it with mining Ethereum directly myself. It has up to PhoenixMiner 5.4c only. If this is useful to you then let me know and I can try send it to you.

https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/stop-using-phoenix-miner-immediatelyWell that would be something, wouldn't it. If you look at HiveOS's miner distribution almost half (45%) is using Phoenix miner https://hiveos.farm/statistics/And a lot of miners are using simple/hive os to my knowledge. Heard neither of them nag. If you look at the sheer volume of hashpower and the corresponding dev fees coming in next to the track record of phoenix, it's all a little far fetched IMHO. So if the Dev was planning 'something malicious', wouldn't that be the same as shooting yourself in the foot? As stated above, probably a way of scaring you into using their miner. If you're so concerned with the safety of 'unsigned software'* from an 'anonymous author', why include it in the first place. *)Like signing software gives any guarantee that's not harmful in any way

I am shocked because I used nicehash with phoenixminer until 9hrs ago still didn't know what's right, need more info. I am using 5.5c phoenixminer, it report same speed between nicehash and ethermine. but in nicehash I started getting rejected share from 2-3 days ago, idk why. ready to upload mine if you guys need my file.

I trust it's basic common sense for everyone to avoid these fake PhoenixMiner 5.5d posts like the plague, you know the ones that keep being posted and then removed super quick.

What would be helpful is a shasum of the phoenixminer binary. I am using 5.5c downloaded from this thread a while ago, with the right checksum. This is the linux version. My Phoenix miner binary has:
user@miner$ sha256sum PhoenixMiner
6de6285d944981576862c960dfa917bbd4f72c5fac45f0b2880c560c89f12e81 PhoenixMiner
user@miner$ ls -la PhoenixMiner -rwxrw-r-- 1 user user 9373180 Jan 22 06:57 PhoenixMiner
Just verified on a hiveos install and the checksum is the same for the binary there.
If somebody could do the same for Windows (non-nicehash binary, but 'official' download) we have something to compare the nicehash binaries to. Just an idea

I have the windows version but sadly deleted the zip after I extracted it and all I have is the folder from inside it. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to this so is it still possible to get the sha sum? If so please let me know and I can share it. EDIT. Nevermind, I just found out rather easily after a basic google haha. Here's the cmd results: C:\Users\Renkyz>CertUtil -hashfile C:\Users\Renkyz\Desktop\PhoenixMiner_5.5c\PhoenixMiner.exe SHA256 SHA256 hash of C:\Users\Renkyz\Desktop\PhoenixMiner_5.5c\PhoenixMiner.exe: 599393e258d8ba7b8f8633e20c651868258827d3a43a4d0712125bc487eabf92 CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully. I hope that's what you needed. Although I'm guessing not as it's not the zip archive itself but rather the actual miner exe. EDIT 2. I just checked the download page of the PhoenixMiner website and the SHA1 listed there for the 5.5c download for Windows matches the SHA1 I get in cmd of the .exe file. C:\Users\Renkyz>CertUtil -hashfile C:\Users\Renkyz\Desktop\PhoenixMiner_5.5c\PhoenixMiner.exe SHA1 hash of C:\Users\Renkyz\Desktop\PhoenixMiner_5.5c\PhoenixMiner.exe: 11428c3bdf728860fd057c411a95b14e13f05dbc CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.

Uhh, that sounds hard, I´m waiting for more information. Luckily I don´t use PhoenixMiner anymore since a while!
Nevertheless, these are serious allegations!

What did you compare? Phoenix from nicehash and phoenix from "his" website? Phoenix doesn't have a website. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg55731982#msg55731982

It's from phoenixminer.org, had no idea it wasn't actually his. From memory I downloaded mine from this thread but I no longer have the zip archives sadly, just the contents of them. I can't compare it with phoenix from NiceHash as my NiceHash only has up to 5.4c, not 5.5c. I still have my 5.4c downloaded from here and the SHA1 does indeed match the one from my NiceHash directory. But I have no idea how relevant that is given 5.5c is the latest.

Ok, no problem. We're looking if anyone can provide latest phoenix that nicehash distributed in their package, so we can compare if they were even distributing a valid version or a virus.

Wish I could help. My NiceHash is a bit older and has 5.4c, the plugin refuses to update as well otherwise I'd be happy to share the 5.5c from NiceHash compared with my 5.5c. All I know is the NiceHash 5.4c and the 5.4c from this thread do match.

Hi, new member here. I joined after reading NiceHash blog and how it was mentioned to change everything and wipe my OS (Great, two PC's to wipe the OS on and change all my system passwords (saved on browser so hundreds of passwords compromised? Give me a break!) Judging by what I am seeing is that the miner binary version was 5.5C the source they had it from was: https://mega.nz/folder/2VskDJrl#lsQsz1CdDe8x5cH3L8QaBw/file/OBNSQJIRThey said they disabled it. But what strikes me is that there was no proof provided. I uninstalled it, but would the data still be on my system? If so, guide me through and I will share.

Anyone know why Phoenixminer lowers the core clockrate on some GPUs (and not others of the same model on the same rig) after they start up and successfully hash at ~50 MH/s for a few minutes? I am starting all my RX 5700s at 1300/900 (core/memory) and they all start out at ~50 then for some reason PM lowers the clock rates on some which end up hashing at around 40 MH/s or less. I am setting GT value at startup so it's not auto-tuning. Any thoughts? Hey I just saw your post. Have you looked at the memory temperature? This can be the only reason why your core clock drops after it started mining. AMD automatically thermal throttles when memory reaches above 105C and has nothing to do with the miner, not simplemining OS.

Can someone confirm that the MEGA Files from this post (on the first page) were not compromised - they were simply disabled by MEGA.

If you guys need Linux version then we have backup of all phoenixminer versions here (but only for Linux and not for Windows) https://download.simplemining.net/miners/

Hi, New here.
Just made an account after the Nice Hash article.
I have the original 5.5c zip, can someone guide me on how to verify if its a virus, as nice Hash says it is?
Little concerned as I mine on my main gaming rig :/
Thanks
