The new features in this release are:

• Added lock core clock
• The problem with the missing GPU temperatures on Nvidia GPUs is fixed
• Added native kernels for AMD RX6700 GPUs. These are faster than the generic kernels and produce a lot less stale shares
• Increase the max supported DAG epoch to 550 (should be enough to about Jan 2023)
• Full support for setting clocks, fan speeds, voltages, and memory timings of AMD RX6900/6800/6700 cards
• The specific hashrate is now shown in the form of kilo hashes per joule (kH/J). Example: if a GPU has hashrate of 30 MH/s with 100W power usage, the specific hashrate is 300 kH/J
• Added new command-line parameters -ttj and -ttmem, allowing automatic fan speed control based on GPU hotspot (junction), and memory temperatures respectively. Example: -ttmem 83 will keep the GPU memory temperature at or bellow 83C by increasing the fan speed as necessary. These parameters can be combined with -tt, as well as with each other. These options are supported only on AMD GPUs that report junction and memory temperatures
• Added new command-line parameters -tmaxj and -tmaxmem, allowing to decrease the GPU usage when the GPU hotspot (junction), or GPU memory temperatures are above the specified thresholds. These options are supported only on AMD GPUs that report junction and memory temperatures
• Added support for AMD Windows drivers 21.3.2, and 21.3.1
• Added support for AMD Linux drivers 20.50.x. Use this drivers only if you have Polaris or older GPUs, or the latest RX6x000 GPUs. WARNING: Vega, Radeon VII, and Navi GPUs won't work with these drivers!
• Turn off the zero fan feature on AMD cards whenever a fixed fan speed is used (e.g. -tt -40), or when an auto fan with min fan speed is used (e.g. -tt 63 -minfan 35). To disable this feature, add -fanstop 1 command-line parameter
• When -mcdag 1 is specified under Linux, the miner will not wait for the daggen.sh script to finish before starting to generate the DAGs. Instead it will for a fixed 7 seconds. This allows you to do all the following in the daggen.sh: turn off the overclocking of Nvidia GPUs, sleep for 30-60 seconds to allow time for DAG generation, and then re-apply the overclocking of the Nvidia GPUs
• Other small improvements and fixes

The support for -ttj, -ttmem, -tmaxj, and -tmaxmem for Nvidia 3090 and 3080 GPUs is not yet ready for release. We hope to have it ready for the final 5.7 release.

For more robust integrity check, you can use our GPG public key, which was verifyed with ETH transaction from our main devfee account as explained here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg56755869#msg56755869.

Please let us know if you have any problems or questions related to PhoenixMiner 5.7a.

Which strategies exactly? Where can i read about them? There's nothing on the site about this.

Do I need to send multiple transactions of 1000 coins to one second address, or do i need to create a separate addresses for each tousand?
Kinda confused

There's an optimal value for supply of the coins, somewhere in between too big or too low. It's not simply the lower the better.

We're not nearly at dip yet.
Hod do I know? Because dip is when only a few people buying, not the whole forum waiting for the moon...

People are being hysterical recently, because of downtrend.
It's easy for developers to make ASIC resistant systems. If not permanent, but they can just make some changes to the algo so new ASIC will be needed. That way maybe only Bitmain will be in proffit, because they mined on these asics before they went public and they're cheap for them.
I said developers, not copy-pasters from shitforks.
Proffitability dropped for everyone, ASIC miners are crying too.

Not just possible, it's often better.
You need a good fans (Delta Electronics), same size as heat sink. Not gpu fans, just fans.
Then remove everything from card except the heat sink and put a new ones firmly.
You need an external power supply for it, not from card but from PSU or MB. And it'll be noiser.
In my practice, the cooling is even better than the original solution. It also often cheaper and designed to work 24/7 at 100%, unlike original fans which worn out quite fast if set to 100%.
In case of turbine cooling new heat sink might be needed if it doesn't allow air intake from a top of it.

It's inetresting to see that such news recieve so much positive comments.
In Russia, the reaction to these regulation attemps are mostly negative, because everyone thinking that its being made to make money on miners or to restrict mining at all, because in soviet russia you don't mine crypto, crypto mines you. Can't say they're wrong, we'll see. I'm living in russia btw.

Proffitable mining it isn't a continuous process. In a begining, it was a hobby, which people were doing for fun, with their idling computing power, there was(and is) various boinc projects too. Fortunately for them, the market flied to the moon and their hobby was unexpectedly well rewarded. Well, for some of them it was a planned result. It was a price for having an interesting hobby not being a easy money chaser.
But for now, this market changes. Even the most stupid people are mining now. I'm sorry, it's rude, but just look at those faces on youtube. If it ever going to repeat (ehich is not likely because history doesn't repeat on market, sometimes it's just remind of itself in some form of a bad joke), these gamblers must be ejected so hard that they won't ever look at cryptos ever again even if it'll be bullish again. When mining won't be proffitable (at all) and people will do it just a hobby (for real), then maybe we'll have something healhy.
It still need to cool down. Some of the heat was dropped already, but it's still very hot, people still hoping for a moon, and many of them still buy videocards massively no matter what.
But probably there will be nothing drastic and mining will have some proffit with the help of brain and some cost optimization.

Quite interesting algo, Allium.
With the same overclocking settings with power limit 120%, power consumption of 1080ti reduced from 240W to 130W. Temperatures are also significally lower, even more lower than on "cold" lyra2 algo.
It's so low that it's actually bothers me, maybe my GPU haven't been utilised properly? 7.09-7.19 with 1080Ti, 150 core, 0 mem, 120% pl.

It's possible. Some laptops can handle it without problems. Usually it's large and heavy gaming laptops.
Personally, I have laptop that worked on heavy CPU tasks at 100% 24/7 (not mining) for over 7 years now. You just need to test the temperatures, many laptops have good CPUs, but only to handle spikes of heavy load, not for 24/7, and became very hot after ~20 mins of mining. Additional cooling is required in any case.

But there's another problem. Laptop or usual desktop CPUs aren't energy efficient in mining and there's a high chance that even a laptop will consume more electricity than proffit from mining. I'd say CPU miing is for such profesional CPUs as Xeon or Rysen. Or you can mine not popular shitcoins which are not proffitable now, but there's a chance that rheir price rise in future...

Not hard. Just pumped and dumped.
ZCL:
Before pump: 0,00028 BTC 2017.12.23
After dump:   0,00108 BTC 2018.03.09

How can I send BTCP to another wallet?
BTCP Desktop GUI Wallet 1.0.0 says:
But TradeSatoshi and Coinomi wallets are starting with b1.
Dafuq is this? 

Nothing interesting in near months. Continue to downtrend with some trading up and down. Quick proffit from holding is very unlikely. Unless we talk about intraday trading.
But i woudn't say the coin is dead, because:
1. It's an interesting coin to fork from, which can lead to pumps.
2. New development team is being discussed and to be selected somewhere in Q4, which can lead to good but kinda risky long-term.

Probably the right thing to do in mid-term.
Price will be dumped violently when trading fully opens: much hate from zcl loss and lot of expectations from btcp, which will be hated too because it'll be cheap (the market is driven by bulls and bears, not some diff/price formulas), and this story of not being able to deposit it on market is hurting the future price very badly.
The good news is... Well, there's one i can't unveil right now (it's business), and another is if this team is not a scam, it'll rise eventually, and considering the team, they love to make pumps. Just don't be greedy and don't forget that there's always a dump after pump.

Looks like the coin returned to normal state. Now it's a usual trading, not buying obviously underpriced coin.
With current state of events, returning to $100+ is unlikely, because it was part of the BTCP fork, which is no longer affect the price. If you'll ignore the part started after the fork announcement, everything is simple. It can rise further, it's a volatile market after all, but not to the moon again, obviously.
But in case of another interesting fork, this coin can once again show its temper.

But isn't a big dissapointment is right time to buy? When everyone are happy investing for proffit, it's usually too late...
Creator of the coin left it, but ZCL wasn't actually been developing anyway, it was presented to the community as it is, as "less greedy" fork of ZEC. So it's not like there's some real changes in the coin itself, just in people expectations. But crowd easily forget.
Of course, investing in it is risky, but it's so cheap, dumped and hated so it literally screaming to buy it in not very significant amounts, "just in case".

Expecting a little dump now. But mid-term hodl is still looks good, so don't freak out if it'll happen.

Isn't it always?

The thing is, the difficulty is low too. So while fate of BTCP is currently questionable, ZCL rocks in terms of both investment and mining.
