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

[miner29]

I have a RX 5700 XT MIS Mech 8gb Windows 10.

It runs fine for 1-12 hours then cuts back to 47mh/s.  I have tried adjusting the clock/mem down with a starting hashrate from 57mh/s down to 52mh/s(almost stock).  1230-1340 clock and 1750-1896 mem, all do this reset to 47mh/s...

Any idea why this card would randomly cut back to 47mh/s or a way to diagnose it?  A restart of the software does not work I have to reboot the computer.  I have 2 RX 570 8gb running with they card at 31mh/s and they are not affected.

Thanks

Put another fan on it cooling it....sounds like thermal throttling.

Probably more the thermal pads? Just guessing I dont own that card but saw on YT a lot of videos with the pads on the 3080? Anyways hope you get it to work

[ummasek]

and we are are sure that most miners have much better things to do with their time than reading about this storm in a teacup. We know we do.

Hey now. I just woke up and reading this with my coffee is a great start of my day.

Thx for that, i`ve lost the day scrolling the post, with tells me, that PHX is right....dont wont to lost my time on it anymore

@PhoenixMiner
Any responce to unlock 3060 for mining at full speed ??

[yalghoz]

For me -straps 2 does exactly bwhat ETHPill did

Actually I downloaded ETHpill from OP relink and it was a Trojan virus. Someone remote desktop to all 3 of my computers and obtain my passwords and logged in to many of my accounts and attempted to reset passwords too.

[Atheist666]

owners of 1080ti whats the max MH without scam ethpill file you ve been getting ?

I have 3 , 1080 Ti cards running 5.4c and 5.5c with -straps 2 and they all get 44-48 mh/s, I would say avg is 46.2 ish


Do Not use ETHPill I downloaded from the OP and get trojan. Someone remote desktop into all 3 of my PCs and went though my browser and all saved passwords. Somehow Gmail notified me ( I have no idea why). They even did VNC from my PC into my dad's and went through his stuff too.

They were mainly looking for exchange login which I don't have.  They tried logging into Bittrex and I have no funds.

I only getting 35-36 , with -straps 2 and all, what im doing wrong? can you post your settings?

Hey all, I have a problem with Phoenix Miner. Every time it gets to the devfee part it gets stuck and won't do anything at that point anymore and I'm forced to manually restart the miner to get it working again. I'm using Phoenix Miner on Windows 10 and Nvidia 1000 and 2000 series cards with the latest drivers.


Not sure if this is important, but my .bat-file only contains this basic info (excluded the addresses):

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool <pool address> -worker <worker name> -wal <wallet address> -pass x -proto 4 -stales 0


And this is what's typically the latest on the miner window when it gets stuck:

DevFee: Connecting to ethash pool us2.ethermine.org:14444 (proto: EthProxy)
DevFee: Connected to ethash pool us2.ethermine.org:14444 (172.65.226.101)
DevFee: New job #060677c5 from us2.ethermine.org:14444; diff: 4000MH


Otherwise the miner is working fine without any problems.

EDIT: There's one other thing. It also does the devfee process very often, like every 15-20 mins or so. It varies, but much more often it's supposed to do it. I think it was 90 mins. intervals it's supposed to do it and for like 30-40 secs.

Looks like you got fake version, delete all you got get real version try again.

Use hwinfo to monitor temps particularly the memory junction temps. From what i heard, Mechs are terrible at at cooling memory. Should be below 100c.

Yeah same with me. Im also getting 35-36 and the straps option isnt helping.
Actually I noticed, that the miner reports something like this: In order to set straps you need to run phoenix miner as administrator. But when I try to run the .bat file as administrator the window closes immediately and nothing happens. Is there a solution to this? Thanks!

Thank you for replying. I downloaded it again from Github using the link in the first post of this thread just to be sure, but it's still doing the same thing, gets stuck at the devfee part.

This time it showed this before getting stuck:

DevFee: Connecting to ethash pool ssl://us1.ethermine.org:5555 (proto: EthProxy)
DevFee: Connected to SSL ethash pool us1.ethermine.org:5555 (172.65.218.238)
Eth: New job #28ee8c54 from daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com:3353; diff: 859MH
DevFee: New job #0f1ffa7f from ssl://us1.ethermine.org:5555; diff: 4000MH
Eth speed: 67.189 MH/s, shares: 207/11/0, time: 0:34
GPUs: 1: 23.013 MH/s (70) 2: 44.176 MH/s (148)

So looks like it got a new job and everything, but still stopped working for whatever weird reason. It happens every single time and I haven't found a way to fix this issue so far. It seems that now it's not doing it as often though after downloading and installing it again. At least so far.

I believe this was the issue, I moved the card to the outside edge of the rig and has not happened since.  Thanks guys, would give merit If I could

[SWIRF_TV]

Nicehash now sponsoring LinusTechTips for restore their lost reputation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swOj0wvuCO8

But really why would someone want to work with Nicehash and mining ETH but receive BTC with those super high fees instead?
I used Nicehash a few years ago for 2 weeks but not only BTC fees not worth it but also their pool always make less profits than ethermine.org even in exacts same situations.

Linus will support and say whatever he is paid to, he is the biggest sell out in tech

hello, why do i get this error when i want to clock my memory?



and what are the settings for a 3080? because I only have 70mh on my 3080?

thank you

[TBOEMC]

I can confirm, that RTX 3060 12GB with driver version 470.05
memory +1000

ETHash algo - 47.7MH/s

happy mining

Are you running phoenixminer as administrator?
Did you recently remove/add/swap cards?

As for overclocks, I'm using -502 core / +1150 memory, @ 65% PL, getting ~95-97mhash on a Suprim X.
Memory temps are at 92-94C, no thermalpad mod yet.

I was having trouble with 'high' temps at first, but this was because I forgot that I had set -tt 65 in Phoenixminer.
With core temp at sub 50C, this meant Phoenixminer would cut fan speed to ~850RPM.

I removed -tt and set fan speed to 60% in afterburner (~2000RPM, but not too noisy) and got memory temperatures to 92-94C.

So if you're stumped with hot memory clocks, make sure you didn't forget -tt on in phoenixminer (or just set it much lower than before, so that the fans speed up).

[micdee]

Tnx. I will check the data and the logfiles.
When I run the miner in the console as far as I know it always starts with the card names.. (which GPU are found for mining) In this list it shows 6 times the same (type) cards RX 580

I even had fitted the RX 5700 as a single available GPU, but then I get the miner error "NO GPU for mining"

Is there any known hardware limit for getting the RX 5700 XT's to work in Phoenixminer, e.g. minimum of RAM used, or anything else, which we might have overlooked?
The rig is fitted with only 4 Gb RAM.  (We use the Asrock H110 BTC Pro+ mobo)

  Perhaps the driver version may be the issue. Do not use the latest AMD Linux drivers for anything other than RX6000 AMD cards.

Well we tried a different (lower version) driver but then we had to change the kernel and still it didnt want to see the 5700 and the additions in the setting didnot seem to work, so this morning I changed to Win10 and we did see all the different cards.. and even the card settings in the confiig file (the RX*580:1160) did work. But we had the 21.1.1 drivers installed and it was not stable. So I uninstalled these and installed the 20.11.
and forced the compute mode via the AMD driver software, but I do not get it stable after a few minutes I get black screens and AMD report of a driver issue and then it all stops???

[Deafran]

Yeah same with me. Im also getting 35-36 and the straps option isnt helping.

sorry, not the .bat file, but the "PhoenixMiner.exe" file, run it as administrator

I'm having issues with my miner just shutting down out of nowhere and then not restarting. There is no error in my log files.

This is what I have tried for my bat:

Code:

:START
"C:\UsersUSERNAME\Desktop\PhoenixMiner_5.4c_Windows\PhoenixMiner.exe" -pool ssl://eth-us-east.flexpool.io:5555 -pool2 ssl://eth-us-west.flexpool.io:5555  -wal  0xb383EF32525677e45345E63A466Eb62038964bb0.JJFP -worker JJFP -nvidia -coin eth -gpus 123 -wdog 1 -gswin 10

timeout 5
go to START

I have also tried this:

Code:

:START

timeout 5
go to START

I have 3 cards in a normal tower PC with a steady connection.
Win 10 x64 no miner OS.

Is there some conflict in commands or something that I'm missing? Any help would be apreciated.

Hey all, I have a problem with Phoenix Miner. Every time it gets to the devfee part it gets stuck and won't do anything at that point anymore and I'm forced to manually restart the miner to get it working again. I'm using Phoenix Miner on Windows 10 and Nvidia 1000 and 2000 series cards with the latest drivers.


Not sure if this is important, but my .bat-file only contains this basic info (excluded the addresses):

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool <pool address> -worker <worker name> -wal <wallet address> -pass x -proto 4 -stales 0


And this is what's typically the latest on the miner window when it gets stuck:

DevFee: Connecting to ethash pool us2.ethermine.org:14444 (proto: EthProxy)
DevFee: Connected to ethash pool us2.ethermine.org:14444 (172.65.226.101)
DevFee: New job #060677c5 from us2.ethermine.org:14444; diff: 4000MH


Otherwise the miner is working fine without any problems.

EDIT: There's one other thing. It also does the devfee process very often, like every 15-20 mins or so. It varies, but much more often it's supposed to do it. I think it was 90 mins. intervals it's supposed to do it and for like 30-40 secs.

   This is very strange. Make sure that you are using the real version (with the correct checksums). If this doesn't help, send us full log file for at least several hours, not just several lines.

Yeah same with me. Im also getting 35-36 and the straps option isnt helping.
Actually I noticed, that the miner reports something like this: In order to set straps you need to run phoenix miner as administrator. But when I try to run the .bat file as administrator the window closes immediately and nothing happens. Is there a solution to this? Thanks!

   If you run the .bat file as administrator, it always starts in C:\Windows\System32 and the PhoenixMiner.exe is not there, so it fails to start. There are two ways to fix the problem:

• Put your command-line options in the config.txt file, and then run as administrator the PhoenixMiner.exe itself.
• Or, edit your .bat file by adding a command to change the folder to where your PhoenixMiner.exe is. For example (assuming that PhoenixMiner is at C:\Miners\PhoenixMiner_5.5c):

Code:

cd C:\Miners\PhoenixMiner_5.5c
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool xxx -wal xxx ....
pause

and what are the settings for a 3080? because I only have 70mh on my 3080?

  This error is shown when the miner is not run as administrator. All recent Nvidia drivers do not allow programs to change the clocks unless they are run as administrator. See the answer to the question above on how to run PhoenixMiner as administrator.

Tnx. I will check the data and the logfiles.

  Probably one of the cards is unable to run at the clocks and voltages that are set. Check the log to see if the proper clocks and voltages are applied to each card - if there is a mix-up and the setting for 5700XT is applied to one of the Polaris cards, or vice versa, it may lead to almost instant crash. The last resort is to check the cards one by one using the -gpus command-line option. If all are running fine by themselves, you may have issues with your power supply, or the cables to the extenders.
