Re: PhoenixMiner 5.6d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
Yes, our GitHub account was terminated (not a big surprise after they deleted some other mining software repos but we kind of liked the functionality there). Again, no explanation was given - they just don't want to host popular mining software it seems.
Our new host is up and running. You can find the latest version of PhoenixMiner (as well as older releases and beta versions) here:
https://phoenixminer.info/downloads/
As backup, you can also download the latest version from our old MEGA account (it was restored by MEGA a few weeks ago):
https://mega.nz/folder/2VskDJrI#lsQsz1CdDe8x5cH3L8QaBw
As always, make sure to compare the checksums of the downloaded files with these from the first post of this thread. This is a good idea for any download and takes mere seconds to do.

I have had this several times with my GitHub repositories with miners forks.
So, GitHub blocks accounts for five reasons:
1. Someone has complained
2. Automatically by mistake
3. Someone forked the repository from a "dirty" account (When a fraudulent account is created and it starts to fork normal accounts, good chain accounts are sometimes also blocked.
4. The presence of two accounts.
5. Someone spammed the issues branch (sometimes GitHub blocks the account itself)
What I used to do and always got amnesty:
1. Write to support (https://support.github.com/contact/account) and ask the reason for blocking. In a response letter (2-3 days), they always write the reason for blocking the account. They will also ask you to describe your files and what they do.
After they receive this information, then in 99% of cases the unlocking takes place, if you do not drag out for a long time.
I always wrote that this is a cryptocurrency miner such as NiceHash and asked why then NiceHash is not blocked? After all, this is essentially the same miner. After that I was always unblocked
Then the account never gets the Suspended status again.
Try to write support, I think it will help.
