The new beta version is ready. It is mostly a bugfix release, the more significant upgrades are coming next month. You can download PhoenixMiner 6.0a from here:

PhoenixMiner_6.0a_Windows.zip
PhoenixMiner_6.0a_Linux.tar.gz

The new features in this release are:

• Full LHR disable mode -lhrdis <n>  1 - yes (default), 0 - no
• Show the GPU vendor name in the list of GPUs to make it easier to identify the GPUs
• Added support for the latest AMD Linux drivers 21.40.1. There are some bugs in these drivers, particularly the clocks and voltages can't be set properly with older
  cards (RX4x0/RX5x0/Vega/RadeonVII)
• Validated support for the latest AMD Windows drivers up to 21.11.2
• Fixed issues with AMD RX6700XT cards with the latest AMD and Linux drivers
• Fixed issues with AMD Vega and Radeon VII cards on latest Windows and Linux drivers
• Fixed crash with very old Nvidia drivers (3xx.x)
• Other fixes and small improvements

The updated list of known issues (driver incompatibilities, etc.) and workarounds:
AMD Linux driver 21.40.1 has a bug preventing proper setting of clocks and voltages on older cards (RX4x0/RX5x0/Vega/RadeonVII). Given that these drivers are also
usually slower than the older drivers for these cards, we recommend using Linux drivers 20.30 for anything older than RX6000 series.
If you are using Linux drivers 21.40.1 with Radeon VII cards, you need to add the option -fpwm 1 in order to have proper fan control.
AMD Linux drivers 21.40.1 has finally removed the requirement of PCIe atomics but there are problems when you try to mix Polaris (RX4x0/5x0) cards and Vega or newer
cards on the same rig.
Some Nvidia cards will report a lot of stale shares under Windows 11. Using the same driver version under Windows 10 resolves the issue.

Hi guys,

I'd like to share my positive experience with recovering lost password of my wallet.dat file (btc-core client).

Let me start from beggining, but I'd try to keep it short story.

Few years ago I purchased some bitcoins and encrypted a wallet with some password, which I managed to forget meanwhile. Even though I've been using internet over 15 years (meaning different emails, forum accounts, icq, mirc, skype and programs requiring username and password) I have never managed to forget password for any account, but for bitcoins it was not the case  ....of course, based on my previous experience I thought password I set for a wallet will be remembered in my brain, and I did not write it down anywhere else, like on a plain paper, and I was wrong.

Over time, I tried manually to unlock a wallet with numerous combinations (over 500 different attempts, I wrote down each attempt to avoid repeating it) but with no luck. I also tried to run some scripts I found on this forum (like ruby script by Revalion), also Jack The Ripper, but as I am not much into coding, I did not make it work.

I continue to google for password recovery solutions and stumbled on service provided by almighty  Dave Bitcoin. For those unfamiliar with him, this is his official webpage: https://walletrecoveryservices.com

Even he is quite "mysterious" person and not much info can be found about him except his nickname, he managed to built over the internet positive reputation of his service (I found him active on this forum and Reddit), which is not so easy in cryptocurrency world. There is also an article on Coindesk about Dave and his service, which ensures reputation of Dave.

So, as I was left with no much options to unlock my btc wallet, I decided to contact him and see what can be done. He responded to my email quite quickly and we started negotiation, he explained me process of his service and we decided to move on. I sent him wallet.dat file (which was not so easy for my mind lol) and a list of potential keywords used in a password. He managed to crack a password the same day! I can not explain you my personal feelings at that moment, for the past few years I tried to unlock a wallet, and he did it "bang" in one day. He sent me my password back and I really managed to unlock the wallet. Of course upon cracking the password he charged me with his commission fee by reducing btc balance with specific %, which was surely part of agreement.

I am writing this thread with two reasons:

1) To spread a good words about Dave Bitcoin and his service, because he really deserves full respect, and to strengthen his reputation. He is very trustful and professional person, and we all definitely need person like him in crypto world (and we know how crypto is still risky dimension in general).

2) To encourage people that are in same situation like I was, to contact him with no hesitation and try to crack lost password, his service definitely is no scam.

All in all, I really had only positive experience with his service and I highly recommend him as a reliable person for password recovery.

PS. He also managed to crack my Litecoin wallet!...I also forgot password for ltc 

I need a help guys, I forgot password of my wallet (maybe part of it I know, some words for instance, but not sure about the order).

I tried with Revelion scripts but when I run brute script it says "incorrect RPC user/pass". I am running latest bitcoin core, and Revelion scripts are a bit old, hence there might be some incompatibilities. Anyhow, I manually made bitcoin.conf file and set the same user ans pass as in script, but script still won't run.

Do you have any other solution that works with latest bitcoin core?

I also tried this script https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md#windows--bitcoin-core-multibit-classic-or-electrum , script itself runs but no password match (I tried with all "possible" words that could be within the password but with no result), hence I doubt it actually works.   
 

I've checked with the bank and they are offering account for international people, so I am able to open account there. What I need is information will transactions between Bitstamp and Intesa will run smooth?

Tnx.

Hello RO friends,

I plan to open a bank account at Intesa San Paolo Bank as a foreigner (non-resident). Could you let me know if payouts from Bitstamp to Intesa SP Bank are allowed and running smoothly? In case of payout from Bitstamp, should I provide some proof to bank in order to receive the money, or nothing is required by the bank?

Thanks in advance for the answer.
