Re: PhoenixMiner 5.6d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
by
asbator
on 01/06/2021, 21:09:05 UTC
The new beta version is finally ready. You can download PhoenixMiner 5.7a from here:

PhoenixMiner_5.7a_Windows.zip (GitHub)
PhoenixMiner_5.7a_Linux.tar.gz (GitHub)



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 5.6 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.

Re: PhoenixMiner 3.0c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Windows)

I have problem with older Windows 7 rig. It has 2 RX 480 and 2 RX 580, all 8GB versions. They all mine just 14MH, on both Claymore and Phoenix miner.
Equihash mining is OK though. When i mined Ethash before it was about 25MH if i remember correctly. Cards are not flashed, slightly underclocked and undervolted.
I reinstalled drivers, ended up installing newest beta. Trying to figure it out for couple of days, probably going to reinstall Windows.
Any suggestions?

Wow, so many posts and not a single person knows that XRP is not Ripple used by banks.
This XRP pump shows that cryptocoins is mostly about speculation, and lack of knowledge here confirms, that its going to be a masacre.

Waiting 36 hours for them to push my test 3 IOTA withdrawal.
Anyone was able to make quick withdraw in last hours? What cryptocurrency?
I was on MtGox and now feel eager need of withdrawing from this exchange.
Dont have anything except IOTA there.

Ive send there some funds there and now can't withdraw it.
"BITCOIN WITHDRAWALS ARE CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR YOUR ACCOUNT." and this kind of message is for every crypto.
Support doesn't answer to e-mail. Tried to call them on phone number from website - it's turned off and message box is full.
No warnings over Internet except that they can be harassing about trading history from other exchanges.
Strange.

How should i inform myself? Where is it written that export won't work?
And does anyone requries from you knowledge about theory of relativity to use GPS? Or quantum physics to use laser?
Please take a look at Daedalus in free moment, you will understand what i mean.

Start an online instance of Armory and spend your coins found in your nested P2PK UTXOs to P2PKH addresses.

Where are P2PK UTXOs ?
I already emptied the wallet before started messing with private keys (in case you missed that written).
The problem is export file doesn't contain segwit address'.
I'm not sure we understand each other at all...

Funds are in Ledger. It supposed to be last use of Armory, sorry.

How to make this conversion? I tried to Google, but it doesn't understand "bitcoin convert private key to an on chain script" (me neither).

Using Armory, move your coins in nested P2PK scripts to P2PKH.

I don't understand at all.

Trying to sweep BTG into Coinomi wallet. Pasted 70 private keys and none of them contain any funds.

Would like to sell this BTG while it still worth something.
Is very any immediate solution to this problem??
Given that there is NO BTG mainnet and they're still tooling about with BTG testnet... you will NOT be able to sweep any BTG... as technically, BTG does not exist...

Blah Blah "but it's being traded on exchanges!!?!" blah blah... NO... BTG "Futures" are being (recklessly) traded on exchanges... the exchanges don't care, they're making bank by charging people fees regardless of whether or not BTG actually turns out to be a viable crypto or not...

In the meantime... everyone else has to wait to get their "free" BTG... because it still doesn't exist...

Saw them on Bitfinex same as other coins without info it's just futures and Coinomi added BTG support yesterday, thought it will work now Smiley

I've read that segwit address' share same priv keys so pasted all unused address' as well just in case... Nothing. Best software experience ever.
Now how can i get those priv keys?

Wallet backup export function doesn't export PSH-P2PK adress+key pairs.

Trying to sweep BTG into Coinomi wallet. Pasted 70 private keys and none of them contain any funds.
I guess all is on those PSH-P2PK addressess i've been using lately.
I've checked used PSH-P2PK address' and searched them in exported file - they are not there.

Would like to sell this BTG while it still worth something.

Re: best altcoins to invest for 2018 ?

Ethereum, Ark and Stratis appear to have nice fundamentals for growth.

I agree about investing in ETH. Blockchain have already added support for eth coin. So you can now buy safe eth with btc at the same time.  So that means that people want to make eth bigger.

I would invest in eth, but i have already invested in lite coin. LTC is for me the sleeping giant it has the potential to rise.

LTC price seems so strongly correlated with BTC. Investing in either is basically same thing (no longterm LTC/BTC impulse wave).
They experiment more on LTC, so if something is gonna blow up, it will be rather on LTC.

Re: PCIE power splitter 6pin -> 2x8pin
by

on 12/09/2017, 11:05:31 UTC
in fact you can use your 6 pin on 8 pin cards, the 2 missing pins is just ground you may just shorten them

http://www.goldfries.com/images/computing/6to8pinpcie/6to8pinpcie01.jpg

like here
for 1070 I think you should be pretty fine with it

There is sense on 4th and ground on 8th.
I think it's still not good since temperature depends on amperage not voltage. And amperage is same on +12 and ground line. So this missing ground line is needed there.
Maybe im wrong? I had physics class over 10 years ago...

Made some research. Double GPU cards like R9 295x2 are pulling up to 300W from 8pins wire, that has 3 circuits in it.
This gives 100W per circuit.

Corsair AX1200i can output up to even 480W on 8pins wire (40A) -> what gives even 160W per circuit.
Problem is i have different PSU, which has only 8+6 pins wires, like engeneers wanted to say that 300W is really max PSU can give on 3 circuits, though only 225W is safe.

So 8pin to 2x 8pin splitter seems reasonable. But why market is flooded with 6pins -> 2x 8pins. (Why even bothering doing them?)

Running 300W on 75W designed connector seems like terrible idea.
But those connectors are very popular, people are buying them and giving top marks.

I have 1300 EVGA Supernova running just 6 cards using 780W.
I'm thinking about expanding the rig, but PSU has connectors for "just" 6 GPUS.

How to connect safely 2 more GPUs?
I want to be 100% sure it's safe, safety is top priority after all, don't want to burn house trying to earn couple of bucks.

It makes no sense to assume that. Any attack on Bitcoin is costly and with LN it should be even more costly.

Lightning network compared to Dash and IOTA
by
asbator
on 04/09/2017, 07:36:00 UTC
Hi guys!

there is a lot of hype about Lightning Network starting on Litecoin. Opinions are that it will make every coin using it rule, make them prepared for mainstream usage, bring their price to the moon, kill other coins and so on...

At the same time Dash followers on Reddit point out that Lightning network will freeze our balance and make Litecoin, Bitcoin unspendable, quite opposite to what is expected.
Same thing is described in this comprehensive explanation:
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/understanding-the-lightning-network-part-creating-the-network-1465326903/

There is also interview with IOTA founder David Sønstebø, who calls all other coins (Bitcoin included) f...ing trash, which will all die, because IOTA tangle is the only right way to go with cryptocurrency (no mining, no fees and so on...).

For me all those opinions are obviously very biased, as all have their own interest in it. "Mainstream" users wants Lightning to be great, Dash followers believes in Dash, IOTA creator wants his baby to win.

My question is - is Lightning Network really going to lock our funds for so long time that its going to cause problems?
Cause it seems to me obvious that hackers could fail transactions for purpose and block the network.
(Would like to see some discussion based on reason, not on believes or faith in one coin or the other.)
