I have a brand new computer just out of the box, with Windows 10 Home. The security is stopping me from running PhoenixMiner. This is so frustrating.
I had to disable "real-time" protection just to download and unzip the file without it being deleted.
I added Virus & Threat Protection exclusions for both the folder I'm running it from, and for the PhoenixMiner.exe file.
I've added PhonenixMiner to "Allow app through firewall" and it is showing in my list of Allowed apps and features.
I've tried turning off "Virus and Threat Protection" and "Firewall & Network Protection" completely.
When I try to run PhonenixMiner as an Admin, I get the usual warning "Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device?" I answer "Yes" and then nothing, no window opens, no error message. I can't find anything in the system logs. The graphics card shows in the Device Manager.
I have PhoenixMiner running on 7 other machines and so I'm not new to this, I can't see any difference between the machines except on this new one I'm trying to run 5.6d, and it is Win10 Home instead of Pro.
What am I missing?
Are you running it from the .bat file? If you just double click phoenixminer yes, nothing will happen.
No, I have a config file. I'm right clicking the file and selecting "run as administrator".
Same config file I run on my other machines except I edited a new miner name:
-pool ssl://us2.ethermine.org:5555
-wal xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.Eve
-proto 3
-prate 0.16
-astats 1
-straps 2
-hstats 2
-retrydelay 300
-nvmem 2
Here is a link to a pretty 0ld document that goes through the complete setup of a miner using Windows 10.
I used this info on several Windows 10 PC's in the past ( Over 2 years ago ) and they work flawless when mining.
It was very useful to me then, and probably still is. Anyway, here it is, take a look and see if it will help.
