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

[swogerino]

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.

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.

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

Comments?

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.

Thanks to your advice (on an earlier post/page) of using a higher -eres number (-eres 8 is what I use), my rig has been able to run 70 hours non-stop without a crash.  This is on 5.7b and the August AMD driver.

There is 1 problematic card which starts to drop shares on the 60th hour or so (Gigabyte) so I typically will need to do a reboot after 2 days, which is better than before where everything crashes in a day and a half, sometimes in less than a day.

On this rig there are 7 GPU's (all RX 6800). I am now considering adding more as RX 6800s are cheaper in my city than 3070's, have a lower temp + lower power consumption (thanks to MorePowerTool), and boosts to 70 Mhs from 62-64 MHs every now and then. The only drawback really is stability since max performance and efficiency for the 6000-series can only be had in Windows atm.

First, you should check your OC settings/timings for the card, making the system unstable to eliminate it. Sometimes same settings for the same brand/model do not work for all cards.

To eliminate the watchdog issue and downtimes, you need to do the following 3 steps:

1. Add this to your config file or the command line:

Code:

 -wdog 1
 -rmode 2

#-rmode <n>
#   Selects the restart mode when a GPU crashes or freezes: :0:
#   disabled - miner will shut down instead of restarting :1: restart
#   with the same command line options - this is the default :2: reboot
#   (shut down miner and execute "reboot.bat")

2. Create a "reboot.bat" file in your miner's directory with this:

Code:

shutdown /r /t 5 /f
 

This will restart your rig.

3. Set your miner to start automatically when the Windows start.

The Account is Hacked or sold as the last post was done in March 18, 2016 !
As others already have written its a Malware download link , dont download anything from there !
I have reported the post already and all others should be doing the same when they see some kind of posts like that!
I also have written about in my thread about that and there a few more Github links that are used for , you can read about here :

Hoping github takes quick action.

It looks like they already have.  The link to the repository's main page results in a 404 error.

The new beta version is finally ready. You can download PhoenixMiner 5.7b from here:

PhoenixMiner/releases/download/5.7b/PhoenixMiner_5.7b_Linux.tar.gz]https://phoenixminer.info/downloads/PhoenixMiner_5.7b_Linux.tar.gz[/url]


Changes in version 5.7b (since 5.6d):

• Added lock core clock
• Implemented new "turbo" kernels (-clkernel 3) for AMD Polaris cards that can work with the current DAG sizes over 4 GB. Note that -clkernel 3 uses double the VRAM and will
  provide slightly faster hashrate with slightly higher power consumption. You can use the -rvram command-line parameter to specify how much VRAM to be left unused
• Increased the maximum supported DAG epoch to 600 (i.e. until about Sep 2023)
• Implemented full hardware control for AMD RX6900/6800/6700 cards under Linux. Note that with these cards under Linux you need to specify relative core voltage: e.g. -
  cclock -50 will set the core voltage to be 50 mV under the default value
• Added ROCr kernels for Vega, Radeon VII and Navi cards. With these kernels you will be able to run these cards with Linux drivers 20.45 and later but the performance will
  be lower than with the older PAL drivers and kernels. We recommend using AMD Linux driver 20.30 for all cards except RX6900/6800/6700
• Fixed an issue causing crashing with some RX6900/6800/6700 cards under Linux (there is no need to run these cards with -clkernel 0 anymore)
• Added support for AMD Windows drivers up to 21.8.1. Note that Radeon VII cards will not work with drivers 21.6.1 or higher - you need to use older drivers for proper
  operation of these cards
• Added support for AMD Linux drivers up to 21.20 (use older drivers for Vega or Radeon VII cards as they will not work with 21.20). Note that the latest 21.30 drivers are
  not supported (and the initial testing shows that even the older Polars cards are not working properly with them, so avoid 21.30 for now)
• Numerous other fixes and small improvements

Unfortunately seems like part of a smearing campaign towards Phoenix miner.For all of you reading these kind of posts from newbies please disregard them and always before clicking the link,hover your mouse over the link to see the complete link.Once you do so you will see this does not lead to the official Phoenix miner website but to an infected Github account.No matter how many times we report these kind of threads these kind of worthless users seem to pop up even more,so just be careful and follow my advice and that of many others which says the same.

Edit:Post removed by moderators and I removed the links.

Unfortunately seems like part of a smearing campaign towards Phoenix miner.

It's certainly organised and seems personal. Once a post is deleted a new one pops up almost immediately from another user.
I know there is some feuding among some developpers but if that's what this is it's going way too far.

Anyway the infected github repo has been removed and the links are harmless, for now anyway, they may find another host.
