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

[batsonxl]

Hi @phoenix it is nice to read your posts,
Waiting new version with straps for polaris cards. By the way 5.4c more stable than 5.5c.

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???

  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.

Let me start with thanking you for your patience with me (and my friend)
After installing all available drivers of AMD (even the 21.3 which is not yet supported I found out ;-) ) it still keeps crashing

There are a few things I noticed...
With a few drivers the RX5700 card kept (re)setting its memclock to the number I set in the config file.
With last install of 20.11 drivers. I did not get a timeout on the driver (thread stuck....) but I saw an gigantic hashrate every one would like to get (from the logfile:  3: 2947100.674 MH/s) after a few of these line the log states:  "
"2021.03.17:11:59:05.099: GPU3 GPU3: Starting up... (0)

2021.03.17:11:59:05.624: hwmc GPU3: set VMEM clocks to 1800 MHz"    <-- no vmddc mentioned

I no run the 5700 alone with following config:

In "stand alone" mode it is already running longer without a problem than before.
We have 2x750W of power.. 4 rx580 cards on PSU1 and 2x580, 1 5700 on PSU2. I think that should be sufficient.. we do about 1030W on the wallsocket.
What might cause the incredible super fantastic hashrates?

Is anyone running a 6800, 6800XT or 6900XT with SAM enabled with Phoenix miner? I am waiting for mine to come in and I am thinking 100MH/s could be possible with it but would like to see some real world numbers.

There is a few videos on youtube showing just 64MH/s on those cards. I was expecting much more due to the Infinity Cache and it having double the cores of the RX 5700XT maybe the kernels or compute drivers aren't quite there yet.

[bubbAJoe]

For me -straps 2 does exactly bwhat ETHPill did

Straps 2 gets to within 0.5 MHS of the pill for me on 1080TIs...

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.

How is that possible? RDP is disabled by default in Win10...

I had to google SAM, You mean Smart Access Memory right?
I updated the BIOS, enabeled SAM (PCIe Resizable BAR) and saw no increase in hashrate. And frankly I see no reason why SAM should impact GPU mining at all.

Greetings, I have ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 6800 OC Graphics Cards, Core Clock 1200 and memory clock 2150 and they do not pass 64,240 MH / s 50C 49% 127W. When I asked for them, I thought the same ... that they would reach a minimum of 85,000 MH / s; It is time to wait for the great Scholars to see if they can improve it.

any help for gtx1070 tlb.can anyone make tlb patch for those cards 1070 and 1080?

Can u share more info about your config? I'm using a Sapphire Radeon RX 6800, core clock 1200, memory clock 2120 at 662 mV and I can´t get more than 61,8xx MH/s

[majika]

Sup all..
Nice work on the project guys.. and Fk NHash too

Ok, So i'm having a little problem with loading in the epools.txt.
I have copied over my config.txt/start.bat/epools.txt

For the life of me I cant seem to figure out how to build my config.txt to force PheonixMiner (v5.5c) to use the pools from my epools.txt file.
Its needed to switch pool ports now and then and this will save me restarting miner plus its easier to manage over multiple rigs.

in the example below I have to put in the start_miner.bat the following:
-pool <pool1_nfo>
-pool2 <pool2_nfo>
-wal 0x_WALXXX
-pass x

otherwise it wont start.

I have inside start_miner.bat

Code:

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
D:\MiningTools\_PACKAGES\PhoenixMiner_5.5c\PhoenixMiner.exe -proto 2 -coin eth -stales 1 -config D:\MiningTools\_PACKAGES\PhoenixMiner_5.5c\config.txt -pool stratum+tcp://ethash.pool1.com:8888 -pool stratum+tcp://ethash.pool1.com:3333 
-pool2 stratum+tcp://ethash.pool1.com:1800 -wal 0x_WALXXX -pass x
pause
exit

My config file looks like so:

Code:

-wal 0x_WALXXX 
-pass x
-mode 1 
-amd 
-acm 
-gbase 0 
-gser 0 
-gpus 0123456789

-logsmaxsize 100 
-logfile ETH_<POOL_NAME>_Log.txt$ 
-logdir D:\MiningTools\_PACKAGES\PhoenixMiner_5.5c\logs 
-astats 1

My ePools.txt Looks like so:

Code:

POOL: ethash.pool1.com:1800, WAL: 0x_WALXXX , PASS: x, PROTO: 2, COIN: eth, STALES: 1
POOL: ethash.pool1.com:8888, WAL: 0x_WALXXX , PASS: x, PROTO: 2, COIN: eth, STALES: 1
POOL: ethash.pool1.com:25, WAL: 0x_WALXXX , PASS: x, PROTO: 2, COIN: eth, STALES: 1
POOL: ethash.pool1.com:443, WAL: 0x_WALXXX , PASS: x, PROTO: 2, COIN: eth, STALES: 1
POOL: ethash.pool1.com:3333, WAL: 0x_WALXXX , PASS: x, PROTO: 2, COIN: eth, STALES: 1

..As per instructions.

# PhoenixMiner ethash pools list (you MUST rename this files to epools.txt in order to use it)
#
# The pools specified in this file will be added to the pools specified with the PhoenixMiner's
# command-line options (see -pool and -pool2 command line options).
#
# Alternatively, you can omit the -pool option on the command-line and use only the pools in
# epools.txt file. This will give you the ability to specify more than two pools, and to change
# the pools without restarting the miner by using the 'r' key in the PhoenixMiner console to
# reload the epools.txt file.

Now when i try to omit -pool and -pool2 from inside my start_miner.bat its no Bueno.. fail to start..

I execute start_miner.bat "As Administrator"
I have check file permissions..

I am probably missing something really simple but cant seem to spot where the issue is.
If you guys could take a look to see and point out the obvious i would much appreciate the help..

Cheer's Maj.

hello, is it possible to run a .bat at 8pm and close at 8am?

If you're on Windows google for Task Scheduler. You can automate many things with that.

[ClifBar2021]

I have Win 10 LTSC, AMD driver 21.2.2, PheonixMiner 5.5c.

I get about 50Mhs on my RX 6700, but I am only getting about 7Mh/s on my 8GB RX 470. I think my 8GB RX 470 used to get almost 30Mh/s.

Any ideas why my RX 470 is so slow?

Sounds like you are not in compute mode on the 470 (6700 doesnt need it)
