Hi all,

I posted this question couple of days before, but was deleted. I wonder why, since it's fully on-topic, and perhaps a simptom of a problem woth PhoenixMiner (or it's just me, but the question is honest).
Well, the cas is  I got an out of memory problem mining ETC (eth classic) with my 3GB nVidia GTX1060, since a couple of days ago.
Coincidentally with change to epoch #238 (5.9d say's to be good up to epoch #240 and 3gb cards should be able to mine etc until june/22 or so).
Any one with the same issue?

This is the command line:
./PhoenixMiner -pool us1-etc.ethermine.org:4444 -wal 0xblablabla -worker myworker -pass x -coin etc

This is the output:
Phoenix Miner 5.9d Linux/gcc - Release build
--------------------------------------------



Hope somebody could help, and thanks in advance for any hint,


First, please move the log file to a Code window.
I remember more than a year ago when 4G GPU's was about to phase out on ETH, my Nvidia cards stopped mining 2-3 months before my AMD cards. Then just before the AMD GPU's ran out of memory and stoped mining, was invented :

Code:
-daglim <n>
   (AMD Polaris, Baffin, Tonga, or Fiji cards only) Limit the DAG size
   to <n> MB to allow mining on 4 GB cards a few weeks after epoch 373
   on Windows (or 381 on Linux). The possible values except the exact
   DAG limit are also 0 (turn off the DAG limit), 1 (automatic DAG
   limit size, usually 4023 MB under Windows; this is the default).
   Note that the hashrate will drop significantly with each epoch
   after the DAG limit is in effect. If the hashrate drops too much
   (e.g. from 28 MH/s to just 2-3 MH/s, you need to use lower value,
   for example "-daglim 3996" or even lower.

But I think this worked on AMD cards only. Check in the readme file if there is a solution for Nvidia.

 Sorry, but maybe is time for you to switch to another coin or upgrade the GPUs.
