Re: PhoenixMiner 5.8c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
The new version is finally ready. You can download PhoenixMiner 5.8c from here:
PhoenixMiner_5.8c_Windows.zip Github
PhoenixMiner_5.8c_Linux.tar.gz Github
Changes in version 5.8c :
Please let us know if you have any problems or questions related to PhoenixMiner 5.8c
PhoenixMiner_5.8c_Windows.zip Github
PhoenixMiner_5.8c_Linux.tar.gz Github
Changes in version 5.8c :
- Full LHR disable mode -lhrdis <n> 1 - yes (default), 0 - no
- Added lock core clock
- Fixed an issue causing crashing with some RTX 3060/3080/3090 cards
- Implemented new "turbo" kernels (-clkernel 3) for AMD Polaris cards that can work with the current DAG sizes over 4 GB. Note that -clkernel 3 uses double the VRAM and will
provide slightly faster hashrate with slightly higher power consumption. You can use the -rvram command-line parameter to specify how much VRAM to be left unused - Increased the maximum supported DAG epoch to 600 (i.e. until about Sep 2023)
- Implemented full hardware control for AMD RX6900/6800/6700 cards under Linux. Note that with these cards under Linux you need to specify relative core voltage: e.g. -
cclock -50 will set the core voltage to be 50 mV under the default value - Added ROCr kernels for Vega, Radeon VII and Navi cards. With these kernels you will be able to run these cards with Linux drivers 20.45 and later but the performance will
be lower than with the older PAL drivers and kernels. We recommend using AMD Linux driver 20.30 for all cards except RX6900/6800/6700 - Fixed an issue causing crashing with some RX6900/6800/6700 cards under Linux (there is no need to run these cards with -clkernel 0 anymore)
- Added support for AMD Windows drivers up to 21.8.1. Note that Radeon VII cards will not work with drivers 21.6.1 or higher - you need to use older drivers for proper
operation of these cards - Added support for AMD Linux drivers up to 21.20 (use older drivers for Vega or Radeon VII cards as they will not work with 21.20). Note that the latest 21.30 drivers are
not supported (and the initial testing shows that even the older Polars cards are not working properly with them, so avoid 21.30 for now) - Numerous other fixes and small improvements
Please let us know if you have any problems or questions related to PhoenixMiner 5.8c
Just received my 6 S9s from Bitmain. Now what to do with the 4 I don't have room for? 
Light 'em on fire, that will help difficulty for us.
Out o' power.
YAY got some dust btc hahaha didnt expect anything tbh so happy with that (miners been on and off)
miners will be on over the weekend till sunday night so lets hope for another quick block
quick noobie question
do i add these as pool 2 and 3?
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:81
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:443
stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:8080
thanks
want to make sure my miners r always connected to the kano pool

No. Those are different ports. It depends where you are at in the world. Ping each one. For East Coast USA use NYA for number 1, Stratum for number 2 and a PPS pool for number 3.

So ... in an attempt to get some large miners on board
I'll post this here now and then work out how to get the attention of said larger miners ...
10 BTC giveaway to LARGE miners
Anyone with NON-RENTAL hash rate - i.e. their own miners, who shows on the rewards page a "Your N Avg" of exactly 9.5PH/s or more -
yes a large miner - for any block that they find, will get a bonus 1 BTC block finder reward for up to a maximum of 3 blocks per miner.
Total BTC I'll be giving out will be 10 BTC i.e. a total of ten 1 BTC block finder rewards.
The bonus 1 BTC block finder reward will not be taken from the block reward to miners - i.e. no miners will be getting paid less due to the block finder reward.
So how can a large miner get this 1, 2 or 3 BTC bonus reward?
They have to ramp up to over 9.5PHs then find a block.
Are there any quick ways to ramp up to 9.5PHs?
Yep - if you have 20PHs then you'll ramp up to 9.5PHs in less than 2.5Nd i.e. twice as fast.
Of course if you have more than that, the ramp to 9.5PHs will be faster again.
Does this affect the ramp time?
Yes, adding more hash rate to the pool reduces the time of the 5Nd ramp.
e.g. at the moment assuming we were 50PH/s then adding another 10PH/s to the pool would reduce the ramp time by 20%
If you know anyone on any bitmain pools or slush (which is probably now a bitmain pool also) with over 10PH then tell them about it
... and cryptostarusa can't get it

Poor cryptostarusa will be sad
I see he bumped it up for the promo... lol
Got to get his 3 BTC.
What about the small miners?
Bonus for the larger miners again but no incentive for the smaller miners.
Block bonus should be available to anyone finding a block as you said yourself we are already outside the DIFF curve would seem unfair to pay larger miners extra 1BTC if they find a block yet the smaller miners get nothing for block find bonus??
I understand the attraction this would bring to larger farms but what about the little guys.. We getting squished even more?
There is no difference between me running lower hashrate and finding a block and someone running 9.5ph we are all in this for the same reason, and to reward one and not the other seems unfair?
Bonus structure coiuld be worked out much better way and it would have more reach in the community.. Just my 2 cents but seems little unfair.

Just no
I have said it once and I will say it again. We need a face palm emoji.
What I was referring to with Biffa is getting more miners here on this pool and getting more of the network hashrate. Not going out and adding to the hashrate. He (Biffa) is stating that we should go out and "add" to the hasrate and thus add to the increased difficulty. I would rather take from the current total network and transfer a larger percentage over to us. That is why I am asking after he (Kano) said he agreed with Biffa.
The reason why Biffa is correct is that if no one was increasing their hash rate, then the pool falls behind the "Diff Curve"Yes of course adding to the "Diff Curve" ourselves pushes the "Diff Curve" up, but in reality that isn't the case,
since if we don't, then someone else will buy those miners and push the "Diff Curve" up.
There's been no lack of available buyers for available new miners for a long time.
i.e. you haven't been able to slow down the "Diff Curve", by abstaining from buying miners, for a long time.
Indeed getting large miners to move over from somewhere else is the best solution, but once we have some over here, we can't say:
'OK that's it, we don't need to keep up with the "Diff Curve"'
Well, hopefully, it will slow down here. There have been new S9s available from Bitmain for over a week now. We need to tackle this issue and stay on top of it. Glad to have you in charge and we all really appreciate your support here.
No way.... The audacity...

I'm curious who has the least amount of hash and has found a block here on Kano Pool.
Depends on the year you are talking about.

Its not about getting more miners to mine at this pool...
Instead of spending time trying to get more miners, spend some money and get more hardware yourself.

I guess not everyone agrees with you...
It's about getting the hash rate up a lot.
While adding losta small miners means more hash rate, we don't want to fall behind the Diff rate rising, we want to get ahead of it a lot.
The only way I can see that happening is getting a number of large miners on board - but that wont be a lot of miners.
This will only attract a small number of miners, but make a big difference to the pool if we do get some.
Biffa's idea works also, but I don't think everyone is trying to keep up with the Diff changes, so we need to keep ahead of them somehow.

My calculations are the same. This pool needs to hit 8 blocks a month for the payout to be more. 1.1% is a big difference if you are making a fixed amount per month but that is not the case. I understand we look back at the history but what history doesnt take into account is the amount of new hashing power that has come online and will continue to drive the difficulty to the moon. We need to promote the crap out of this pool and start now. It is the BEST pool here hands down but we are not going to win anymore miners here until WE step up and make it happen. When it becomes unaffordable for the larger miners to mine here, they will slowly leave too. It is more than just money to some but eventually everyone will have a breaking point for one reason or another. I love this pool and you guys are the best but we need to get off our asses and come up with a solution.
Its not about getting more miners to mine at this pool, what should be happening is you and everyone already on the pool should be buying more hardware to keep up with the difficulty, getting the rest of the pool bigger but staying the same yourself means you will just get smaller and smaller rewards.
Instead of spending time trying to get more miners, spend some money and get more hardware yourself. This isn't something new its something everyone has had to do since mining began.
If we all had the money to double our mining operations we wouldnt be having this discussion. Essentially, since December, each and everyone one of us would have had to double their operation. I am out of power at my home. I can not add anything more. So while your statement in theory is the correct approach, real world application is not possible for some. I am currently setting up a mining facility to do just that and have 3 partners also included in the effort. Together we have purchased 100 additional S9s on the March batch. I understand what you are saying and I am in agreement and also actively doing something about it but that solution is not as easily implemented in the real world as it is on paper.

Re: [45+PH] KanoPool kano.is BEST 0.9% fee PPLNS US,DE,JP,NL,NYA 🐈
hmm I guess then I'm surprised you're still here. That would take you back to the Nov/December time frame as we haven't ran 10 blocks a month since that timeframe.
A friend of mine and I mine here, I switched from Slush in mid Jan. *before* the doubling of hash and user @ slush, it took me at average 6 days to mine .01 BTC there. And luck at the time was closer to 100%. For me we just turned .01 in 2+ days here. Yes I know I didn't account for the 600% block. And that block was 165% diff. So I'm quite happy to stay right here and *gamble*.
about a week ago we looked at slush, btc, and here and decided this still was the better option even given the luck issue. What do they say "A pendulum can only swing so far and then has to switch back"
I think the other thing that people forget. A month ago, blocks were paying at average around 15-17 BTC, look at our last 2 - stuck right above the base pay. so that in and of itself is a 25% reduction in revenue that effects *everybody*.
Money is not what keeps me here. I believe in the bigger picture. Again, you avoid the question. How much hashing power are you contributing? Should be a simple answer. Guessing one S9 based on your statements.
I figured my reference to payout amounts would answer the question. I have 40Th/s and will add 22 more on monday
LOL. Your reference to turning .01 in 2+ days was what inspired that (which is far from accurate). I got you though. The way I like to look at it is simply this. This pool offers you the opportunity to gain much more when luck smiles upon us. As long as we are adding hashing power and brining new miners in we should be fine. Decentralization is power. Mine on fellas.
well, it wasn't trying to be misleading, but I see how it was... 40Th did .010296 and the problem was my days math - which technically was correct, but was far too misleading...
... but it was still better than slushI'll blame it on the euphoria of finding a block ... lol. that's my story and I'm sticking to it...
HAHAHA good enough for me. Block for V-day. What is better? Oh ya, then next one right around the corner.
