Re: PhoenixMiner 5.9d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
So is anyone mining ETH on one pool and ZIL on another pool? What are the command line arguments to make this configuration work? I cannot find anything relevant in the documentation in regards to mining ETH+ZIL on different pools...
You can use the miner Zilminer and it will start and stop a second miner.Re: PhoenixMiner 5.9d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
Well, we are now into February, the number of posts by ANY people have dropped like a rock, and AMD now has a third month worth of drivers out that PhoenixMiner does not work with. I know it isn't reasonable to expect updates instantly, but the complete lack of any posts by users or from PM makes me feel like this one is dead. Now, which miner to switch to?
Yes it's a shame I started out mining with PM last year and I have had to transition to other miners do to the fact that they haven't implemented dag caching
Re: PhoenixMiner 5.9d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
Hi !
wtf ? the first page link to the "officiel" download is infected....
i mean, i DL the 5.9d , the ZIP totally freeses the PC, and a f*ù$în malware is detected right away !
" AndroidOS/Multiverze "
i mean.... WTF ?
and nobody talks about it
allready got it like weeks ago, formatted the PC and forgot about upgrading, but the pb is still there !

Windows always detects it as a virus. But as long as you download it from the first page it's safe. If you are having issues I think there might be other issues other than the miner
Re: PhoenixMiner 5.9d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
has anyone run into the issue of the miner taking forever (>2mins) to detect the gpus? (happens with any miner but i mainly use phoenix). nvidia driver 471.11, amd driver 21.4.1, windows 10, PM 5.6d
Re: PhoenixMiner 5.7b: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
Hi,
I can also report high % of stales / rejected (>10%) with RX 6600XT with Phoenix 5.7b
With NBMiner 39.0 only about 0.05% stales/rejected.
OS: Windows 10 Version 2009, 10.0.19043
Driver: non-whql-radeon-software-adrenalin-2020-21.8.1-win10-64bit-aug10
Same problem here with 6600 XT, but it happens also with older versions of Phoenixminer, not only 5.7b. Stale rate reported by Phoenixminer is always over 30%, and yes, even with 100% stock settings.I can also report high % of stales / rejected (>10%) with RX 6600XT with Phoenix 5.7b
With NBMiner 39.0 only about 0.05% stales/rejected.
OS: Windows 10 Version 2009, 10.0.19043
Driver: non-whql-radeon-software-adrenalin-2020-21.8.1-win10-64bit-aug10
But imo the biggest problem is that after about 1-3 days mining, 6600 XT's start doing 100% incorrect shares and because of that, they are not anymore regonized by a pool and you lose money. (after restarting miner all works good again, but its not nice to wake up in the morning and see that your 6600 Xt or more of them has been hashing incorrect shares whole night)
I have two different rigs with RX 6600 XT gpus: both of them are mixed with Nvidia cards, and only those RX 6600 XT:s starts doing 100% incorrect shares after that 1-3 days of mining. This has happened never before any of my other GPU's and i have been mining over one year with Phoenixminer which has been my absolute favourite... until now.
Phoenixminer with Radeon 6600 XT is incredibly unstable at this moment. I'm really hoping to see somekind of fix to this situation.
Phoenix miner has always had a lot of problems with the 6000 series (I am owner of 6800 Xt) and even now with this new release 6600 XT it is the same.They fixed the problems in the upcoming versions of their miner and I think you only have to be patient until the next release which will most probably contain a fix to this,until then you can switch miner as the other option to stop getting incorrect shares.
I have a 6900xt and never had an issue running on the 5.6d version or the 5.7b but running the older 21.5.2 drivers
Re: PhoenixMiner 5.7b: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
Strange problem here, I have single RX580 in PC, but when I try to mine with it, it crashes.
When I start miner with -l option I get this:
"Phoenix Miner 5.7b Windows/msvc - Release build
-----------------------------------------------
No CUDA driver found
OpenCL driver version: 21.6-7.x
Available GPUs for mining:
GPU1: Radeon RX 580 Series (pcie 1), OpenCL 2.0, 4 GB VRAM, 36 CUs
GPU2: Radeon RX 580 Series (pcie 1), OpenCL 2.0, 4 GB VRAM, 36 CUs
"
so miner sees single GPU as 2 devices...I can prevent crash if i put "-gpus 1" or "_gpus 2" option,
but then I only get 15MH/s (half the normal hashrate). I tried DDU and various other ways to clean
drivers, but nothing helps, its probably some registry leftover.
Ideas?

I had this happen once when I was using remote desktop top. I think windows creates a "virtual" GPU to create the display. I switched to vnc and used a dummy display and works fine now
Re: PhoenixMiner 5.6d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
why the hell does it say "newbie"
i manage 30 rigs have been mining since december 2016
have sanded my radeon 7 heatsink flat it gets 90 megahash on air, broke another radeon 7 (cried),
tuned the hell out of over 250 gpus from rx460s through the whole range . bios modded everything that can be
got a vega fe to run at 45 megahash (it still is) . . . . im not a newbie for gods sake
all our rigs are on turtle, monero or raptoreum in addition to eth. totally stable mostly
in fact most of our problems are pci risers - not gpus or software
ha ha .
bestwishes to the durrty miners
dwagent is great for remote access on windows and its free

Re: PhoenixMiner 5.6d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
Hi all,
I got a question that what is the Page File size or Virtual Memory of a rig? Currently, it has been increased to at least 49g. However, I heard that the size of VM should be based on the total number of the GPU on the rig and the memory of each GPU. if so the VM should be different on each rig?
Also, is 49g the initial value or max value?

In theory yes each rig will have a different virtual memory depending on what GPU's they have.
If so, what is 49g based on?? if my rig has 10 * rx580 8g. what would be the initial value and max value??
so is 80g the initial value or max value? that is my initial question, as in windows 10, you need to enter 2 values, initial and mix

But I think you problem is in the start bat. You have -worker when it should be -wal and at the end of the wallet address add .worker name

For starters I would scan your computer right away. The 5.7a is a scam post/file.
Re: PhoenixMiner 5.6d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
This miner do not have "dag cache" option for improvement dual mining?
Yea I'm hoping they include this into the next release. Had to change to lolminer do to invalid shares from overclocks applied during the DAG building while on EZIL pool
Re: PhoenixMiner 5.6d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
I hope they implement DAG caching... I think that would fix most of my problems with my cards that are finicky with overclocks. Until then I have to keep using lolminer for 3 of my cards. I know about the mcdag command but it doesn't help because the crash is accuring because of the core overclock not the memory. Or the ability to run external commands during the DAG change...
Re: PhoenixMiner 5.6d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
I was wondering. Is there a way to let the miner mine for wallet A for 23hours a day and mine the remaining hour to wallet B? Some sort of devfee trick.
You could set up 2 different bat files or config files and create a bat file with a timer that would run for 23 hours and then close the first instance and open a new one with a different --config command
Re: PhoenixMiner 5.6d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
Hi All,
I am having issues with Phoenix miner.
Just so you know, I am new to mining (so don't know anything), so I cannot really diagnose things on my own.
SO:
I use Betterhash (with most recent miner update installed), and my PC config is as follows:
Windows 10 64bit running on AMD Ryzen 3 3200g (with integrated vega8 graphics card), 16GB DDR4 RAM, Asus GT710 graphics card (2GB virtual RAM). I am trying to run your miner on my GPU GT710. I used to run my OS from a SATA SSD 128GB, but have just upgraded to a M.2 NVME SSD 256GB (with 140GB free space)
.
I contacted the Betterhash team, and they told me to set my PC's VIRTUAL MEMORY to at least 32000 MB as Phoenix Miner needs this setting. They also told me to try to add the "-mcdag 1" parameter in BetterHash, in the Advanced Settings. This parameter disables GPU memory overclocking performed by Phoenix Miner during the DAG generation. This means DAG generation will be slower, but the hash rate will remain the same.
All of the above was done, the PC restarted, but the ETHash Phoenix miner is stuck in the "starting position". When looking at what is going on the following error shows up:
https://i.imgur.com/rnixt0Y.png
Seems to be a memory issue... DOes that mean I need to have more RAM on my PC for it to run? Or do I need to set the virtual memory to bigger values?
Any suggestion on what I could do to get the miner running on my GT710 GPU?
Thanks in advance!

I used to run my OS from a SATA SSD 128GB, but have just upgraded to a M.2 NVME SSD 256GB (with 140GB free space)
.
I contacted the Betterhash team, and they told me to set my PC's VIRTUAL MEMORY to at least 32000 MB as Phoenix Miner needs this setting. They also told me to try to add the "-mcdag 1" parameter in BetterHash, in the Advanced Settings. This parameter disables GPU memory overclocking performed by Phoenix Miner during the DAG generation. This means DAG generation will be slower, but the hash rate will remain the same.
All of the above was done, the PC restarted, but the ETHash Phoenix miner is stuck in the "starting position". When looking at what is going on the following error shows up:

Seems to be a memory issue... DOes that mean I need to have more RAM on my PC for it to run? Or do I need to set the virtual memory to bigger values?
Any suggestion on what I could do to get the miner running on my GT710 GPU?
Thanks in advance!

Your GPU didn't have enough VRAM to mine ETH. Need 5gb of VRam or more
Ok, thanks for the reply!
Would there be a way to use the SDD storage space to provide extra memory for the GPU?
Nope. But you can mine other coins. I have a 1050 mining UBQ using Zilminer to mine ZIL on the shardpool
I do not know how to add miners to Betterhash, at least this miner is not in their miner pack...
I do not know how to add miners manually. I might ask them for help.
Anyway, thank you very much for your help!
you're welcome! i use everything stand alone on windows. just check out some videos on youtube about setting up miners and looking up different coins. usually on the pool sites they will have examples of how to setup a specific miner. i only just started mining about 2 or 3 months ago. Good Luck!!

Hi All,
I am having issues with Phoenix miner.
Just so you know, I am new to mining (so don't know anything), so I cannot really diagnose things on my own.
