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

[deedeeranged]

Hi !

wtf ? the first page link to the "officiel" download is infected....

i mean, i DL the 5.9d , the ZIP totally freeses the PC, and a f*ù$în malware is detected right away !

" AndroidOS/Multiverze "

i mean.... WTF ?  

and nobody talks about it

allready got it like weeks ago, formatted the PC and forgot about upgrading, but the pb is still there !  

Windows always detects it as a virus. But as long as you download it from the first page it's safe. If you are having issues I think there might be other issues other than the miner

i know windows defender freaks out with miners, no problem about that.

this (test)  rig was freshly formatted, nothing downloaded yet, i get PM 5.9d and it freaks out, so we can ignore external factor i guess...

legit miner always get flagged as a miner of some sort, not as a trojan with a totally different name/usage , afaik..

so can just someone maybe just check the files ? or confirm the legit files are supposed to bet detected as this...  

In fact you can check them yourself with the given checksum file/hash instead of asking someone else to do it for you if you are so freaking out about it.

I seriously doubt the link has malware. I have recently used it and it works just fine. You obviously have internal issues with your system.

Take it your answer is directed at THCKhorne

Hello,

I have a little rig with 6 RX 4xx/5xx GPU.

I would like to change one or more GPU with a 6600/6700/6800 XT. After a good tuning (overclok/undervolt), which is the max hashrate and the power consumption of each of this card?

Thanks

If you looking to add some GPUs to your rig, this link is a good point to start:
https://www.kryptex.org/en/best-gpus-for-mining

Hashrates are about accurate (+-) 2-3 Mh/s depending on your OS, OC tuning, and silicon lottery. Prices will depend on your country, but most of the GPUs could be found at better prices in the USA.

If you looking for replacing 8G Polaris cards with new models, I would not recommend it, for me does not make sense. They still work pretty well and are efficient. Except if you bought them recently second-hand, they should be paid off and just will make a profit for you. Buying new ones will just eat your profit.

Thank you for the link.

Yes, I have 6 Polaris 8G and I want to replace at least one of them because I have some watts available from the PSU.

What I need to know is the hashrate and the watt used after a fine tuning, so I can evaluate if this can be an option. My little rig is over the ROI from about one year :-)

Unluckily the link you provided doesn't provide this information :-(

IMHO, your general questions are better suited for reddit's ether mining sub --- www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/

Good luck!

Hello everyone
I have two rigs with rx580 8gb nitro + both rigs use PhoenixMiner, have the same windows 10 and the same driver(rigs have been working without problems for a couple of years).
Last night i lost my power and one rig works normally while the other as soon as i start miner throws out a message (no available gpus for mining. please check your drivers and/or hardware) and came out of the miner.
Does anyone know the solution?

I would start by stripping that rig and smelling every cable to see if you can detect a burnt smell. Then rebuild the rig with one gpu at a time and test it. If ok add the next gpu. That way you can possibly find a dead cable or gpu.
My money would be a dead riser cable if your using those.

I have just downloaded and installed Phoenix Miner 5.9d and configured it the start.bat like this (I removed my actual wallet details)

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool ssl://asia1.ethermine.org:5555 -pool2 ssl://asia2.ethermine.org:5555 -wal myWalletWentHere.Valkorum -proto 3

Its up and running but in the output it is only showing me GPU Temp and Fan Speed.  Its not showing me GPU Power Usage (Watts).  Is there something configurable to turn this on?

[waywoos2]

Look in the readme.  I think it’s -hstats   

[valkorum]

Look in the readme.  I think it’s -hstats  

When I add that to the batch file (-hstats 3), now the miner wont start


Edit: Ok, 3 isn't an option so that explains the not starting issue (PEBKAC)... but I set it to 2 and I am still not getting the wattage output

You heed a 6gb video card. With more current drivers

on the site I saw that for mining etchash the 3gb video card also works

"Some Nvidia cards will report a lot of stale shares under Windows 11. Using the same driver version under Windows 10 resolves the issue."

What does this mean? Have to revert back to Win 10?

Maybe eth classic.  You have a bad source of information. The dag is close to 4.25gb now.

Well both the photo he linked and the output from miner show hes mining etChash...not ethash....so he is correct 3gb should do it.  His gpus are 4GB and 6GB cards.  

The problem is what is causing the issue is here:

GPU2: Failed to build program: clBuildProgram (-11)
GPU2: Failed to load kernels: clCreateKernel (-46)
Fatal error detected. Restarting.

Try each card on its own with out the other in the system.  It may just be a problem on the mixed rig.  
Maybe try driving the monitor off the 1650 and disable the onboard graphics as this may be causing the issue, if you are using them.

update driver

and afterburner (if needed)

PM releases these codes when is unable to create optimized kernels for the hardware paired with the driver. Possible solutions:

1. Use -clKernel 0

2. Downgrade the driver for ASUS AMD Radeon(TM) RX Vega 10. If I remember right, on the first page were notes from the dev's that Vega GPU's and GPU's older than Polaris must use older drivers.

3. Use an older version of PM. Like PM 5.5 or PM5.6, for example.

By the way, this RX Vega 10 is integrated graphics in the CPU. Isn't it?

For a better solution, you need to post more info, like a log file or at least what hardware you use and what drivers.
Some older GPUs do not report the power usage. For example, my GTX 1050 Ti does not report wats.

im still using 5.4c version with old drivers,stable no problem. do i need new version? for polaris cards win10? thanks

The short answer is NO if you are happy with what you have now.
YES, if you plan to, add new hardware or upgrade the drivers.

Long answer: The new versions usually add support to the newest hardware and the new drivers required for it. Also, they could add new features, adding support for more epochs, or slight hashrate improvement in new or old hardware. For more info on each version need to read release notes or the first page of the dev's post.

P.S.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

I do not agree with the moderator's decision to merge my previews posts from yesterday because they were answers for two different problems not connected to each other. When the answers are to different persons for the same issue is OK to merge them, but is better and more clear to keep them separated when are no connected questions. Before the moderators make automatic corrections, they have to read the posts and then take action.

Guess you missed the part where there is a dividing line and the quoted message for each response.  Seems quite clear its two different questions being answered.  And dont forget mods get the final say in posts.  The mods dont need your agreement its thier call not yours.

any info on how to fix this error: GPU fault detected: 146
https://forum.hiveos.farm/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3dfc23b1656dce913d3ee09557f45522fc702b27.jpeg

a rig with 8x RX570 8gb was stable and no error for 4 days and then suddenly noticed that the total hashrate is fluctuating by 2-3mhs and when I checked thru the connected monitor I got this error, it will show up every 2-3seconds, rig is stable, it's just the hashrate is fluctuating.

tried to re-install hiveOS, error is still showing up, tried using other miner like TRM, no error, rig stable.

Downgraded to 5.4C and now the error is gone.
