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

[janding]

Hello Miners.

General question to anyone who cares to comment.

If your miner was a dedicated PC and you are not a gamer and your miner was running near perfect,
but your windows driver was older than the most currently supported, would you see a reason to update
to the latest? What advantage might that offer when you have no issues?. I don't see a reason to
update and possibly cause issues where I had none before. Also, my hash rates are as good or better
than any I've seen posted here.

Current installed AMD driver 20.4.1
Highest AMD Windows Driver supported by Phoenix 5.7b:  21.8.1

just use latest drivers but you should use nbminer much better , pheonix is a bit crap now dont support new rtx cards a lot of it is buggy plus the hashrate reporting is dubious on it too , they need whole new upgrade on it really used to be good but theres much better out there now.

Yea, I've see a lot of reports about those type cards and issues. Fortunately for me, I started mining years ago and got all AMD cards at a pretty good price back then and those were some of the first cards Phoenix supported. So it seems for those cards most all the bugs were eliminated a long time ago. For me I don't have any of the issues reported by other cards, and I don't plan on purchasing any more cards at this point.

What percent of rejected shares you have? Not percent that showed by miner. Just take all rejected shares and divide by all shares and multiply by 100.

Currently running at 0.54% rejected. What do you think. Too Hight ?

No, it's not too high... But TR even on nicehash gives only 0.3%. You mine not on nicehash?

No, I use ethermine. Started with them way back from day one.
Once I find something that works I usually stay with it. But, if there is sufficient reason to change I will always.

Nicehash just usual have more rejects than other pools. So PM on nicehash gives more than 0,5% rejected shares. For me difference between PM and TR in speed not so big as difference in rejected shares. TR is uses less power then. And TR didn't depends on driver versions - it works on any.

I upgraded to 7.2b so I could use newer graphic drivers as memory tweak started to make some errors and I tried to fix that.
I have 3x Vega 64 water cooled in W10 in this PC.
Memory tweak is working now but after graphic driver installation and crossfire disabling the first and second gpus are mining 44.5 mhs and not over 50 as before for a long time. 3. gpu is working as before and the share count for gpus show that they are mining at different speeds.

I think this is a driver or W10 issue but I can't find what is wrong and all settings in AMD driver program are same for all gpus, any ideas?

What kind of page is phoenixminer.org virus or mallware?

Any reason to upgrade the drivers on the RTX 3000 series?  version 466 still here, any improvement worth upgrading NVIDIA driverS?

been using HiveOn pool but in the past week they had some down times in North America, considering a switch,  is the income on the ethermine better considering they have 1% fee while Hiveon is free?

Do you think NBminer is better even for older RTX 3000 series?  Phoenixminer seems to be sleep which sucks considering how much his Etherum wallet has grown thanks to our fees, he posts here like once a month if that...

Not really but with this latest version 5.7b I am finding out it is running better than NBminer this time for my Radeons 6800 Xt-s which with all previous versions had problems so finally a good job from Phoenix miner.

Ethermine has the same income as long as you have the same hash rate,the pool takes 1% fee and doesn't care which OS you are running your mining rig.Also I am running old Nvidia drivers like the one you mention in my RTX 3060 ti and is doing still 59-60 Mhsh so the new driver won't do any better than this.

Personally, if it works for the tasks that I do on the computer and for the algorithm that I mine then I would not change a thing.

That is my thoughts also. When and if issues arise I would reconsider.

Hi, I have been using Phoenixminer on Windows 10 for several months but I always encounter an annoying problem with AMD RX 5600 XT: when the card dies, the miner dies too (it closes instantly) so no wathdog works. This happens to me with several 5600 cards, with any setting for at least 4 months and with all subserved versions up to the last one.
I hope you can resolve this as this causes a lot of lost revenue.
Thanks

Hello!

Is there a way to set the accuracy of the time stamp in the remote monitoring data (I can't find an option for this in the readme file) else can the accuracy be improved in the base code?

I'm looking at coding up a dashboard to plot the miner performance stats (rate, temps, fan speeds etc)... ideally I'd pull the data from the remote monitoring url as this is easier to set up than pointing to the log file, but the time stamp is chopped to the minute so it's not accurate enough to plot the data (since there can be multiple results per minute). I think chopping to the second would be adequate.

The alternative is that I just overwrite any existing data with the later data for a specific time stamp, so it just plots the most recent data for that stamp, but it seems a shame to waste perfectly good data.

Thanks!

I keep getting these errors on phoenix miner clbuildprogram (-11), and clcreatekernel (-46). I am running betterhash, and recently got a RX 6700 XT.

Compute mode enable?

disable game mode;

[vapourminer]

so whats up with cl error -11 and -41.

this only started when i installed a 6600XT, the 6700xt in the same rig was fine.

rig is an onda D8P (G4400, 8 gigs ram, 120 gig ssd, 2x g3 evga 850s) with 1080ti, 1070ti, 1070, 6700xt - ran fine on all that for months

using phoenix 5.7b

then added the 6600xt no joy it fails and exits the program.  pcie plugs is connected. i changed slots no joy there either.

installed latest win update 21/h1 (i think have to check but its what win update just installed), amd driver is dated 8/25/2021 so its the latest. swap is 64 gigs.

i know people are mining on the 6600xt, so what am i doing wrong?

edit mining eth


EDIT   switched to nbminer.. works fine with NO other changes. dropped it in and it just ran... so much for phoenixminer

AMD 6600 XT just came up right now so most probably Phoenix miner which has an history full of issues for the Big Navi 6000 series it appears to have the same problem.I have been suffering big time with Rx 6800 XT until the latest release 5.7b which I have a record it running for 75 hours without problems so far.I am pretty sure based on this that in future versions the 6600 XT will be fully supported without problems in Phoenix miner.

thanks for the info. been using my 6700xt fine for several months on phoenix, guess i was lulled into a false sense of security.

gonna have to pay more attention.. im used to my rig staying stable for months and months with no updates or reboots.

but shoulda known, new gpu architectures means new learning curve. duh.

Please explain further on how to do this, also the card is able to mine just phoenix errors out, someone has a 6600xt with similar errors.

It is easy,right click on an empty desktop space and go to the AMD Radeon Software and you see three tabs,two of them write Automatic and Manual,go to the manual tab,in there put the best settings or put these best settings in MSI Afterburner if you want to control your card/s with a third party software like MSI Afterburner.

Correct mining settings for RX 6600 XT are:
Gpu Core Clock 1210 Mhz
Memory Clock 2210 Mhz

This gives you 32.57 Mhsh at 55 Watt power consumption making this right now the most efficient card in the low level cards like Gtx 1660 Super and ti.

And by the way in the latest drivers Compute Mode is enabled by default,you just have to tinker with the card until you find the right settings like the one above.You can go even more but at your own risk,you can go to 33.7 Mhsh with 1550 Core Clock and 2400 Memory Clock which I don't recommend.

RX 6700 XT settings are:

Core clock 1050 Mhz
Memory clock 2150 Mhz

Hope this helps.
