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

[janding]

Windows gives many security warnings after downloading latest version PhoenixMiner_6.2c_Windows from first side in this thread.
is this normal behaviour?

Hello. I'm having a problem. I downloaded Phoenix 6.2c for Windows as i always do from the link in the first page of this thread, and the trojan AndroidOs/multiverze infected my computer. I think it is some kind of ransomware. After i rebooted My PC i couldnt even log in.

Well you didnt get it from the official site (the virus).  The files are clean … you can check them.
You can read here but most likely you opened an infected email as it is how it spreads most commonly.

Here is info on it and how to get rid of it.  https://howtofix.guide/trojanandroidos-multiverze/


And way to go maligning good mining software due to your lack of diligence.

I downloaded the miner for Windows from the link in the OP, as you yourself suggested.  I see the same "Tool:AndroidOS/Multiverze" warning in Windows Defender as multiple people mentioned in this thread.  It is clearly coming from PhoenixMiner.exe.

Good security means questioning what you see.  A good download one day can be switched out for malware the next.  You shouldn't be so condescending to people trying to practice good security.

Sure it may be a known false positive warning, but it wasn't listed in the OP and it obviously wasn't known to you.

Oh look another brand new register with zero merit and 1 post claiming hes being maligned but the truth is PM is safe always has been … ive run it for years….no issue.  You should read the almost 500 pages of this thread and understand PM has been attacked and maligned many times by the likes of you and never has it proved out true.   Maybe read more type less…until you have something helpful to add.  The person you are defending d/l the virus from either a bad link (not from OP) or from another source.  PM has made far more coin with the % from miners than would be gained by compromising some low post count miners computer. 

Does anyone other than me get tired of either these dummies that don't know how to load and run the correct version of Phoenix or they are intentionally just spouting crap that this software
is a virus? I started with Phoenix almost day one, it is not malware. I have used it exclusively ever since I loaded the first version and am still running it today.
Everytime I log in here I see a post that Phoenix is malware. IT IS NOT. Holy cow people. Educate yourself.

@PhoenixMiner
Would you possible to add memory temp reading [for supported GPUs] in miner's API requests replies?

@PhoenixMiner
Would you possible to add memory temp reading [for supported GPUs] in miner's API requests replies?

For AMD RDNA/RDNA2 videocards it is already available for some time, I have a RX 6600 XT it shows in the status. Probably the same with Nvidia cards but I am not to sure about as I only have a GTX 1070 and I am not mining with it anymore.

Check the readme or other docs on the first page.

For Nvidia GPUs 30xx Series it's not.

Check the readme or other docs on the first page.

I've checked this already, and there is nothing about memory temp in docs for API requests.

For AMD RDNA/RDNA2 videocards it is already available for some time, I have a RX 6600 XT it shows in the status.

It could be shown in status if you check the stats from web-browser,
but "Tmem" value is not included in API miner's raw response.
And it's not mentioned in the docs either.

Only EVER download from the 1st post in this thread by Phoenixminer.

Not the scammers posting near or at the end of this thread as they are posting malware.

Same problem. Increasing the swap file does not solve the problem.

Update your Nvidia driver, you are probably using an old driver.

Good security is one thing. However not having the intelligence to read 100's of comments that they have loaded an invalid malware version is something else.
Some people are just not cut out to mine. They don't know how to read, and if you can't read then there is no hope for these people. They just waste everyone's time and take up space
on the forum with the same problem over and over. Every time I look here for news I see people that are not capable. Same issues over and over and over and over.
Everyone thinks they have a virus, and they most likely do. But, it's not the fault of the developers. It's that they can't follow instructions. How can anyone
help people like that? A fifth grader can load the correct software.

6 GB GPU is now a "zombie" on Windows, need a miner that supports zombie mode.

How is the support for AMD driver 22.7.1? It is still not WHQL.

Using a Win 10 based machine with a GTX 1660 Super 6GB. I have the correct pool and wallet info (same settings I use on my 3 other AMD cards in my other machines).

But the miner shuts down almost instantly after starting. This is the message I get from the log file.

main Phoenix Miner 6.2c Windows/msvc - Release build
main Cmd Line:
main CUDA version: 11.0, CUDA runtime: 8.0

This is my first time trying to mine with an NVIDIA card. Any help with figuring out why this miner exits immediately is greatly appreciated.
Also, is there a setting in the NVIDIA video card software that needs to be changed from graphics to calculating, like the AMD cards have?

In your log the following lines gives you the clue.

Check carefully if you have setup the pools properly as there must a difference with your AMD rig.

I'm only using 1 card per rig, and only mining the 1 pool with each rig. This rigs are gaming PC's that I mine with when they are not in use. So for the AMD rigs, I didn't touch the epools.txt or config.txt files. There was no need. Just enter pool 1 and 2, along with the wallet, in the bat file and the AMD machines were off and running, and have been for a couple years now.

When I tried the same miner, with the same bat file configuration, on the 1660, the miner spits out this error.

Still something is different post your command line or batch file.
Or run from command line and see what happens.
