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

[janding]

Did the Github repository get removed? It looks like the links go to a 404 page.

Yep, that's true. That page is now gone.

I have a bad feeling that PhoenixMiner is going the way of Claymore, Take the money and run.
Has anyone else noticed that Phoenix rarely post any answers to questions posted here any longer.
They've probably made enough millions now that it's time to disappear.
Maybe it's just me, but I feel the days of Phoenix putting out fixes to users issues are gone with the money.

Yes, our GitHub account was terminated (not a big surprise after they deleted some other mining software repos but we kind of liked the functionality there). Again, no explanation was given - they just don't want to host popular mining software it seems.

Our new host is up and running. You can find the latest version of PhoenixMiner (as well as older releases and beta versions) here:

https://phoenixminer.info/downloads/

As backup, you can also download the latest version from our old MEGA account (it was restored by MEGA a few weeks ago):

https://mega.nz/folder/2VskDJrI#lsQsz1CdDe8x5cH3L8QaBw

As always, make sure to compare the checksums of the downloaded files with these from the first post of this thread. This is a good idea for any download and takes mere seconds to do.

Thanks! Can you increase the length of the directory names so we can see the full name of the files? It cuts halfway for me and I have to hover with the mouse to see where it takes me.

Everyone should give a +1 trust of PhoenixMiner account so nobody gets dupped by bad actors here.

I see now you have added full support for the Rx 6800 XT cards.I was having some issues with one such card Rx 6800 Xt in the 5.6b miner,as after a few hours this card hashrate was going to 0.Now I have just started 5.6d and will report back if any problems are still there.What driver do you suggest for this new miner 5.6 d?

[Ursul0]

@PhoenixMiner

Are you adding ZIL dag pre-allocation anytime soon?

somewhat strange behavior: I have updated some of my ETH+ZIL Polaris rigs to 20.9.1 + PM 5.6D (the performance is about 0.3-0.5% higher, with 1-3% lower power consumption)  however now each time the switch is happening ALL the updated rigs go down, some random GPUs are failing to init the DAG (12GPU rigs), while 19.12.2 +PM 5.5C is working fine.

[soda37]

@PhoenixMiner. I have a bug to report. With latest 5.6d my Vega VII goes crazy and reports 2-3 Gh/s per card, this has never seen with same card in 5.5

I have had this several times with my GitHub repositories with miners forks.
So, GitHub blocks accounts for five reasons:
1. Someone has complained
2. Automatically by mistake
3. Someone forked the repository from a "dirty" account (When a fraudulent account is created and it starts to fork normal accounts, good chain accounts are sometimes also blocked.
4. The presence of two accounts.
5. Someone spammed the issues branch (sometimes GitHub blocks the account itself)

What I used to do and always got amnesty:
1. Write to support (https://support.github.com/contact/account) and ask the reason for blocking. In a response letter (2-3 days), they always write the reason for blocking the account. They will also ask you to describe your files and what they do.
After they receive this information, then in 99% of cases the unlocking takes place, if you do not drag out for a long time.

I always wrote that this is a cryptocurrency miner such as NiceHash and asked why then NiceHash is not blocked? After all, this is essentially the same miner. After that I was always unblocked

Then the account never gets the Suspended status again.
Try to write support, I think it will help.

When a GPU crashes, is there any indication in the log of which card crashed? I normally look to see which one is stuck at 0 MH/s but sometimes the card crashes and then resumes mining normally. Is there an event logged anywhere?

That was fast. 

It certainly looks like you guys were anticipating something like this was going to happen.  Kudos for getting your own repo ready quickly.

is @Phonexminer hacked

I dont remmeber they ever gave a  d version out, it was either beta like 5.5b
or the release 5.5c

5.5d  has been usually malware

checked the HASH of 5.5C  on the new website and old file and they match but hte 5.5D  is a new file so if phonexminers account on here is hacked and their github is hacked... ummm

Yes, nothing has been hacked, calm down already.
Just crazy NiceHash decided to eliminate a competitor and writes complaints on Mega, then on GitHub.

Just stick to:
1) never keep ANY miner on the same device as your wallet or exchange
2) compare checksums of executable files.
3) HODL TO MOON: No Fomo, No Fud (c)

It very much did contain malware as I woke up and found I had been TeamViewer?(not sure) hacked and they transferred out 2.34 BTC (but left 0.27, wonder why?) among other coins.  Don't be dumb like me, just thought I'd share, sad day for me.  There isn't anything that can be done about it I'm guessing?

All in all I am grateful they didn't take everything but it does hurt quite a bit...  the shock is wearing off and now feeling a bit sickly.

Im wonder why other mining soft develops don't block his soft to work on Nicehash? After all its war and Nicehash going to collapse with his lame excavator if all other miners stop to work on NH.
Hope they will take my idea serious and give "proper" answer to NH n00bs.

Hi. Can someone give a good guide to what I should compare the checksums(the first post no longer has checksums for 5.6c) I have been running PhoenixMiner_5.6c. But I no checksums I can find match my zip or my exe.
I got it from github several days ago. which seems down now. Yhis whole situation with nicehash and multiple compromised versions seems odd.

Check Post #1...has link to the repository. That is from PM himself.

Well, that's just great. My .exe's checksum does not match the one's from the repository.

An incident with our share validation engine caused shares to be rejected for ~30 minutes. As compensation, the mining and MEV fees on Ethermine will be lowered to 0% for 48 hours starting from the 12th of May 2021 15:30 UTC. Please accept our appologies for this incident & thank you for mining with us.


what is this?

[eddirush]

Has anyone figured out the low hashrate problem on Windows 7 when using NVIDIA GTX10xx series cards, RTX cards work fine on Win7 and hash at full speed, I tried diff versions of PM and still only get about half the speed, I got 14 total rigs, 6 rigs on Win7 that work great with no problems but had to switch to GMINER for the time being, and 8 rigs on Win10 using PM with no problems.

Any ideas, I think the last version that worked ok with Win7 if I remember was 5.2 or earlier.

[zertor]

@Phonexminer

Noticed some nasty bugs:

* Win7, GTX10 Series has lower hash rates

* Win10, 1060 6GB cards, when GPUs clocks are applied via miner with command line parameters, clocks/voltages/memory,
miner start reporting wrong power consumption.. [unreal low one],
you can check that by comparing the power consumption reported by miner with other tools like GPU-Z and similar.
When all those options are removed, (and miner no longer control the GPU parameters like clocks/voltages)
the miner start reporting the correct power consumption.

* Win10, for 3080 GPU when using command line option "-tmaxmem xx",
it cause brutal share staling for all GPUs (with regardless of GPU's models used in the same rig)
lag of 2888ms, 3000ms, 300ms in that range randomly vary between 300ms - 3000ms.
When this option is removed, all found shares return to normal latency of 38ms for all GPUs

navigate to the folder who contain the files, then from cmd run:

to check the whole .zip package:
certutil -hashfile PhoenixMiner_5.6c_Windows.zip SHA512 [ENTER]

Then compare your result with:

SHA512 hash of PhoenixMiner_5.6c_Windows.zip:
51a3915c0519479f800159ca0665fe8d07c5d35060e7bd73a9cbfb1507370a4a2735ec915578bb6 7a107a734501b310d38a1223367fec4a12dd2bac14b1ef5e3
CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.

you can also refer to:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg56968316#msg56968316

and to check the .exe 5.6c inside the package: (after you extract the files from PhoenixMiner_5.6c_Windows.zip)
certutil -hashfile PhoenixMiner.exe SHA512 [ENTER]

Then compare your result with: [ver. 5.6c]

SHA512 hash of PhoenixMiner.exe:
