Tnx for the update. Will the switch come automatically after reaching epoch #390?

That's the plan. We ran simulated test on the fork epoch switching many times but a real test is not possible ahead of time. If you start getting incorrect shares after the switch, restart your miner. We will be monitoring the switch and will promptly release new version if there are any problems.

Hello PhoenixMiner

I am trying bench mode on ETC to test my RX580 4G, but RAM size seams still too low

My bat command :

Code:

PhoenixMiner.exe -bench 400 -coin ETC

And I only get 1MH/s

Is my command wrong ?

Thanks

After the switch, the epoch will be 195 instead of 390, so in your case you should test with:

Code:

PhoenixMiner.exe -bench 200 -coin ETC

The new ETCHash epochs will also be twice as long, so the speed of DAG increase for the future epochs will be lowered in half. In general, the 4GB cards should last for about 4 more years when mining ETC.

you should bench on the ETC test net

No, the test network fork happened on block 2520000 (epoch 82), so you can't mine on it with PhoenixMiner 5.3b, which must work both before and after the fork on the main ETC network.

Does 5.2e is ready for ETC Thanos hardfork?

No, you have to use PhoenixMiner 5.3b.

Quote from: alizali on Today at 02:23:20 PM

even with 5.3b no more ETH mining is available on 4GB card right now
yes?
am i right or something wrong with my rigs?
we have to wait for ETC update or is there any better way?

The fork will happen on epoch 390 (which will be numbered 195 after the fork). Until then, you still need over 4GB to mine ETC. The fork will happen in less than 24 hours now.

Every of my RX 580 8Gb drop in hashrate by ~3 Mh on epochs over ~380 on 5.1c.

If you are using drivers newer than 20.4.2, you need to upgrade to PhoenixMiner 5.2e or later, otherwise, you will get only incorrect shares when the DAG becomes more than 3.95-4GB. There is small decrease in hashrate when the DAG epoch becomes over 3.95-4GB because of they way the bigger DAG buffer is addressed but it's nowhere near 3 MH/s. Here are example results from our tests:

Code:

RX570 8GB epoch 365 28.678MH/s 85W
RX570 8GB epoch 376 28.676MH/s 85W
RX570 8GB epoch 387 28.603MH/s 87W
RX570 8GB epoch 450 28.606MH/s 87W

Hi! Can I mine ETC on RX470 (4GB)?

You can with 5.2e but the hashrate will be quite low (6-8 MH/s under Windows, about 20-24 MH/s under Linux). In less than 24 hours however, when the ETC fork happens, you can mine with the normal hashrate for yoru card(s) but only with PhoenixMiner 5.3b or later version.
