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

[Nihil5]

You can view here my reply: https://www.reddit.com/r/NiceHash/comments/lzsheq/phoenixminer_howwhywhat_statement_from_it_expert/

NiceHash Miner is open source, everyone can verify source and determine what happened. So, you have proof in your own hands but you still believe FUD started by minerstat?

The last update to your github seems to link directly to a Mega link, this clearly isn't the build currently being distributed since you have removed PhoenixMiner in the latest update.

So are you updating your miner and then updating github? In which case what prevents you from having updated that hardcoded URL to something else in the interim?

Your original posts also reference a mismatched hash:

Control shasum from new download locations does not match the value published by the developer on his channel!

What were these "new download locations," as the dev hasn't posted any? What was the hash, and how did the hash mismatch if you were purportedly linking to 5.5c which we have all downloaded and can see matches the hash posted by PhoenixMiner?

This sounds remarkably like you guys messed up, panicked, made a report to Mega (probably why the Github got taken down) and made a bunch of increasingly rabid posts about it.

[Hashymoto]

Well, NICEHASH, what else did you guys do? It looks like you messed up NHOS as well.

I have been using it since January, it has been running without a hitch, all my GPUS cruising at a nice healthy 62 C max, with good hash rates.
All of a sudden today, I hear the GPU fans wind down then ramp back up. Looks like you have forced an update and rewrote my .json file....
You have re-enabled all the trash I had painstakingly disabled in the file.... I rebooted the rigs just to see if things would go back to normal....

Now, my hash rates are slightly diminished, and my GPUs are running much louder and hotter. Good job! It took me weeks of tinkering to get everything right and you F#%d it up in a day.

Time to migrate away from NICEHASH for good, you guys have taken this one step too far.
NEVER AGAIN. You cannot take chances with people like you do, and downloading a trojan because you are too dumb to check the file before you distribute it across your customer base, well that is just the cherry on the cake.

That HASH is not NICE anymore.... The convenience aspect is how you draw people but the performance is always below par, and you guys mess up and never really admit it when you do....

Enough.

It is not official. It's full of typos.
You either got it from Github or the link at the top if this thread.
Anywhere else it is possibly compromised.

This should be put in as a sticky here.

Wow so many old name suddenly popping up

djezo.. you're still here ?

Sure .)

You still run suprnova pools?

We wanted to warn people from not just blindly running miner files on their PCs with sensitive data and look what kind of shill war we get back. Started by minerstat...Makes me wonder what benefits they have behind the scene... Just look at all these new accounts, all 1 star, newly bought up for this purpose, makes me sick. Not one old account says anything, because everyone oldsql knows that you just dont want to execute PhoenixMiner on your main dev PC for example, shit even your sources could be stolen then.

[webhead]

hi so where do you get the official one from many thanks.

My account is from 2017, and I've asked the same questions (also with no response) on Reddit with my account from 2015 with 9k karma. Funnily enough most people don't actually post on here all that often, personally I only usually visit to check for new builds.

How about instead of raving about "hired shills" you calm down and answer the damn question that everybody is asking you?

I will reiterate them for ease of reference:

Yes, it's safe. There the sums of the .exe file match, as well as .dll, sys.
There are many .bat files in the archive, so the amount of the total archive is different, but the amount of the executable file is the same - hence it is safe.
It looks like this is a site for crypto enthusiasts, there are instructions with referral links and training materials with requests for donations.

No that website, isn't safe. It's been proven on reddit and other forums that it contains .bats that switch over which wallet you are mining for after disconnecting. If the SHA-1 isn't the same then it isn't a legit version

I could not find the real 5.5c exe download for compare it. I've been trying to find this answer for hours. Thanks alot!

All these new accounts are people you are screwing who are coming on to voice their anger. I have been mining with you guys for 2.5 years, not a noob at all. And I recently started migrating out of Nicehash because the profits are consistently less. And the software is wonky. This stunt against Phoenix is just you guys fighting back for all the ground you lost because people have figured you out. Deal with it. This is going to back fire and cost you a lot more than you thought you could gain. Watch as hundreds leave to go mine directly to other pools without your sneaky software. How dare you rewrite a .json file on people's gear without warning them? I think your outfit is falling apart. I guess a midnight run is next.

lol I thought it was the official one I run the one downloaded from there for like a month now and dont have any issue yet (although maybe it has done something to my windows which seem to respond slower from time to time but this could be also windows rott dunno...)  my hashrate is contant though so I dont think it "steals" hashrate from me in fact (at least the reported one, but to some extent I see better perfomance in the "real" pool average) or makes use of my hardware resources at least in terms of GPUs,the hashrate is better than other miners I tried e.g lolminer my CPU usage is kinda high though like 26% )

Anyway where is the official place to download the legit version of it? googling phoenixminer github doesnt point me to a place where I can download zip files for windows just some code I am a noob

And the mega link on the first tab of this topic doesnt work

P.S I mine @ ethereminer pool not via nciehash if that makes any difference.

Probably due the hurry our NiceHash Miner dev didn't update GitHub repo, it was very important to make new plugin ver which killed PhoenixMiner. It is Sunday... people usually don't work on sunday. Anyway, it is just C#, easily decompilable, you can check whats inside even if you don't have the source. Are you happy with the answer? Why do you think NiceHash is here just to f*ck everyone? Please, imagine that there is really malware in PhoenixMiner, proved, what do you think would happen with NiceHash? Everyone would be blaming us saying "You distributed PhoenixMiner!" These EULAs that people have to agree to mean jack shit when it explodes, people don't care what is written on paper, people become like animals, only actions count. We had to make this announcement to protect NiceHash.

Yeah, but it's about what those .bats do after the program launches. Sure, ther .exe can match but it's still taking commands from those batch files. If the batch is configured to switch, it's game over.

That being said you could just not use the provided .bat files, but at this point (even as I'm using 5.4c this very moment) I wouldn't download any phoenix miner anything until we hear from the dev

[gemuga]

How can people be this d*mb and panic so easy?

It is easy to figure out what is happening: someone reported the official mega link until it went down and then spammed his infected un-existent 5.5d version.

[dazmann]

Looks like we got a nothingburger from Nicehash. The blog post is pure FUD with nothing to back it up. That IT expert reddit post reads like a infomercial straight from the '50s. Do better.

[chafer99]

Is interesting, that nicehash claims that this miner is virus and at the same time, someone still post malware or infected phoenix 5.5d

[Apocalypse Onion]

This attack of the newbies is like a swarm of gnats. Itchy little blighters.

I am thankful to Nicehash for two things. First, quickminer, which I dare to run on my main pc. Nicehash are a legitimate business with a lot to lose and that makes me feel ok about using their service. And second, it is good to inform the community when strange things are happening. The warning about PhoenixMiner is well received.

So maybe Phoenix miner dev was killed too, just like Claymore? What the hell is going on here?
