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

[Ale84Iac]

Hello everyone,

I'm having now issues with PhoenixMiner 6.0c and OpenCL (this is since last days AMD Radeon Drivers update)

1) I cannot mine on Ethermine SSL connection anymore, issue with certificate..
Now I'm mining without SSL but better to mine through a secure connection

What could be the root cause for this behaviour (since a few days, I'm sure I'm not the only one...)


2) OpenCL issue

My configuration is

1x Radeon VII
1x Radeon 6800
3x Radeon 6700 XT
1x Radeon 6600 XT

Issue is that running last version of PhoenixMiner 6.0c (as usual), current issue is

Unknown OpenCL driver version! Hashrate and stale may suffer

In order to mitigate I'm running with argument

-clKernel 0

but of course this is slowing down mining operations.

I tried to reinstall drivers, including old ones...nothing...issue persist.


Thank you all for your help!!!

Alessandro

you guys are just poor banned russians, move on to another pool

Sry. That seems to be bullshit. I'm not based in Russia, nor am I Russian. It is not a local problem.

concur... US based, same issue

then you guys are poor victims of those all thumbs pool operators trying to ban russians and banning you as well by mistake or much less likely just a coincident

[PhoenixMiner]

The issue with SSL connections to ethermine is indeed caused by an expired root certificate (DST Root CA X3). In theory this is fixed by using a "cross-signing" with other root certificates but in many cases this doesn't work as intended. We have make the necessary fixes and we are releasing PhoenixMiner 6.1b, which should fix all SSL connection issues.

You can download PhoenixMiner 6.1b from here:

PhoenixMiner_6.1b_Windows.zip
PhoenixMiner_6.1b_Linux.tar.gz

To check the integrity of the downloaded file, please use the following hashes (you need the last file PhoenixMiner_NVRTC_Windows.zip only if you want to mine BCI with Nvdia cards under Windows):

The new features in this release are:

• Fixed an issue with expired SSL certificate that led to "certificate verify failed" errors when connecting to some pools (notably Ethermine) when using SSL connections
• Now the miner will send SSL SNI host name which may be needed by some pools for SSL certificate validation. To go back to the old behavior (no SNI host name), use the new command-line parameter -nosni
• Added support for latest AMD Windows drivers up to version 22.4.1
• Other small fixes

For more robust integrity check, you can use our GPG public key, which was verifyed with ETH transaction from our main devfee account as explained here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg56755869#msg56755869. Here are the signatures for the files in this release:

• PhoenixMiner_6.1b_Windows.zip.asc
• PhoenixMiner_6.1b_Linux.tar.gz.asc
• PhoenixMiner_NVRTC_Windows.zip.asc

hi PhoenixMiner

v6.1b still shows "ssl certificate verify failed" in my pool
can we just have an easy option to totally ignore the certificate problem?

[PhoenixMiner]

The official release version was updated to 6.1b. You can download PhoenixMiner 6.1b from the first post of this thread.

You must upgrade to PhoenixMiner 6.1b if you get "certificate verify failed" errors on SSL connections (especially to eu1.ethermine.org).

[kamisama233]

hi PhoenixMiner

v6.1b still shows "ssl certificate verify failed" in some pool
can we just have an easy option to totally ignore the certificate problem? something like "no strict ssl"?

[miks66]

Tnx PhoenixMiner  now PM 6.1b working fine and none "certificate verify failed" errors on SSL connections

[PhoenixMiner]

hi PhoenixMiner

v6.1b still shows "ssl certificate verify failed" in some pool
can we just have an easy option to totally ignore the certificate problem? something like "no strict ssl"?

    We will add this in the next version but please do not use it lightly - with this option the whole point of using SSL is moot as it allows MITM attacks with self-signed certificates.

[waywoos2]

Any support of dual mining ton?

If it allows a MITM attack I think it would be better not to implement it. Funny thing is I haven't encountered any "ssl certificate verify failed" yet not with 6.0c haven't tried 6.1b yet.
My pools are -pool ssl://eu1.ethermine.org:5555 -pool2 ssl://us1.ethermine.org:5555 mind you I am running Debian bookworm(testing) and based in the Netherlands so that might be why I don't have issues.

Try setting one of the other -proto settings instead off ethproxy.

don't worry about it, you can use it as your own wish, we want option to control this, by default this function will not be active

In the Ethereum Classic Fifthening in 6 days, the algo will change? or we can still use Phoenix miner?

How i can mine on igpu on linux?
I want try it on steam deck, the curiosity is kill me.

Looks you are using nvidia card. Remove -clkernel as that is for AMD OpenCL and not for Nvidia CUDA.
