Re: PhoenixMiner 5.6d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
by
mikebacker
on 07/07/2021, 16:55:20 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 5.7 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.

This will consist of a thriving ecosystem of decentralized applications, a market that will provide real world applications to commerce and new business models with support for confidentiality. I wish good luck to the project, I will follow the news


Phore is an absolute ticking time-bomb ready to go off at any moment. When the market corrects and world wakes up to the developments occurring on the Phore Blockchain we will see massive fomo. The team operates with a level of professionalism and efficiency that is often seen by massive fortune 500 companies. They are literally working circles around other projects, even those ICO's which raised millions. It is only a matter of time before Phore get its much deserved attention. Top 10 coin IMO.

Long story short=Bullish
Thanks for your insights, but today we have -25% Sad
Why is it valued so low then? Only Rank 500-something

In case you have noticed we have been on an 8 month price decline......

Its called a bear market

This is not a situation specific to Phore. Why BTC go down? Why Eth go down? Why xrp go down?

Instead of focusing on the price focus on development, which Phore has continued to do during this entire time. Nearly everything I listed above has been accomplished during the bear market.

To many amateurs in crypto.

This bear market, while expected, is somewhat irrational. We spent most of 2017 in a bull market all while being uncertain about the future of crypto. We have spent all of 2018 in a bear market, while simultaneously seeing some of the most bullish indicators and development in this space to date. ETF's, Institutional interest, Large brokers and exchanges preparing for crypto trading, crypto being added to CPA testing in 2019.... I could go on and on.

Again, be seeking out projects that have strong transparent teams, innovative ideas, and progress regularly with development. Phore exceeds in all of these categories

Development > Price

Why its shitcoin ? Because its copycat coin fork of fork,not solving anything,basicaly made to enrich founders etc. its one of 99% cryptos that will die in long term.
You learn about this project before writing such nonsense!
The project has its own development, technologies are being introduced and many partnership agreements!

https://phore.io/#roadmap - Esteem, it will be useful to you
https://twitter.com/phorecrypto  Wink


Phore is a blockchain with an option of private transaction. It supports dapps, but so do many other coins. It also used to be almost in top 250, while now it is on 419th place on coinmarketcap. The team is very socially active, but it still looks like they're just paying for all the hype, hoping to attract people this way. How is it different from any other shitcoin essentially? If we take a look at their partners, Unifox is an ICO itself, so doesn't really count; Reddcoin is just a crypto which is not having its best times, so it probably appreciated financial support they probably got from becoming partners with Phore; Stonecash seems to be a minor (though it says the opposite) online stone shop; Platinum circle doesn't seem to be a big thing as well. I would be careful about investing in this project.

You lack a complete and full understanding of Phore Blockchain. No disrespect but your points were weak and lacked substance.
I will answer the only question you cared to ask.....

How is it different from any other shitcoin essentially?
First and foremost Phore had NO ICO and ZERO premine. 100% self funded via masternode governance. Not a quality specific to Phore but considering the amount shit show ICO's that have occurred this year it needs to be stated. I would even add all the scam masternode pre-sale coins being spewed upon the market. It is an undeniable fact that Phore is out-performing and out developing a lot of these ICO projects that raised millions. Did I mention they already have a working product in the decentralize marketplace? Most ICO's can't even claim they have a stable working product yet.

Phore is also the first full POS/MN coin to have segwit integrated. This will lead to more first-to-market moves by the Phore team such as side chains via masternodes as well as smart contracts through their Synapse project (more to be released on this soon.) which will be the first real innovation and development of MN's since their inception. Phore will displace Dash as the leading masternode coin in due time.

The lead Dev, Julian, is currently developing another industry first by working on an SPV wallet (gophr) that will be "safer, more understandable, and about an order of magnitude faster"

They have also stated numerous times that they have a backlog of announcements and partnerships that they are waiting for the right time to reveal, including some hints dropped pertaining to a specific partnership with a group looking to expand internet capabilities and banking to under served and non-erved regions, beginning in south america. They also announced a partnership with an educational facility in the U.S. IF you dig around a bit you might be able to find some breadcrumbs about those two specific partnerships... be warned though, you'll fomo in hard if you do.

As far as Stonecash goes you do realize it is the #1 global stone purchasing group. This is a great use case for Phore and while it may seem insignificant to you, I would ask that you show me other projects that are making similar partnerships with non crypto related businesses. This is how you get real world adoption, by partnering with companies with real world companies.

The Platinum Circle partnership is pretty amazing as well, I can tell you don't have an understanding of what Platinum Circle is or you would not have listed it as a non-event. I could list off all the reasons why but best to DYOR, its an easy Google search away to find the significance of this partnership and the potential it may provide for both projects in the future. This is a massive organization of some of the worlds smartest, wealthiest, and connected people.

Unifox is another great partnership, as they are working to bring crypto to the masses via bitcoin ATM's and physical locations. This, again, is the type of partnership projects should seek out when trying to gain traction and adoption. There is no guarantee either project will "win" but it's best to align yourself with those who are striving for success. Unifox helps make Phore more accessible to people.

There are over 30 members of the Phore Blockchain team, again with zero premine and no ICO funding.

Julian, the lead dev, is rapidly building a reputation for himself as a brilliant blockchain developer and will be known by many as an industry leader before to long. Some call him Vitalik 2.0 and if you follow him in any form or facet you will quickly understand why.

Not to mention Moonshot, who is still Anon for personal reasons... those reasons? He has 25+ years of tech development experience and regularly works with and consults fortune 500 and fortune 100 companies. I imagine when these companies start to look for ways to leverage crypto they will consult with those they trust and those with solid reputations and experience. Moonshot undoubtedly has both.

Also.... last but not least... Many stated that Phore's roadmap was far to ambitious and could not be completed on time, especially from a seemingly under funded and under staffed project. Well.... TO THIS DAY Phore has yet to miss a development deadline. Not one.

Long story short=Bullish

So much going on with Phore it's hard to keep up at times. Segwit, sidechains, smart contracts, SPV wallets, Casper...... Smiley

This project is a clear winner, just take a look at the announcements, partnerships, and development that has been occurring during this bear market. Most projects have slowed down massively and many have ceased development altogether, Phore is just continually building momentum and adding to their roadmap as they go, which was already deemed as far to ambitious by many. Did I mention they haven't missed a deadline yet??

Top 20 project in the making.

Will NVO hodlrs be rewarded dividends from the centralized exchange Vesereus?More times centralized exchange has more volume than decentralized one making it more profitable..

Hahaha no, NVST holders wont receive any dividends from Veserus. We will however pay for its development. The team, took our money to develop a DEX, has yet to produce that DEX and instead is building a CEX with no revenue model for the investors who have fronted $ for it's development..... That is if Veserus ever even launches.

I appreciate those committed to keeping it somewhat alive but it's quite obvious this project is a joke. SEC will have an easy time with this one

Pressure is really starting to build for Phore.

New exchanges will help increase volume and bring about even more exchanges. Domino effect will ensue.

Synapse will absolutely melt faces and will do something unique for master nodes, it will give them a utility driven purpose. This is huge and something that hasn't been discussed much..... yet. This innovation is going to make Phore a highly sought after gem.

Very very confident about this project and excited to see what the rest of the year brings.

This is going to be MASSIVE.
Innovation at every level... Really excited to see further details on Synapse and smart contracts.

I simply cannot believe the rate at which the Phore dev team is currently operating at... Keep up the great work guys, it wont be long until your achievements are brought front and center to the masses.

Segwit is LIVE on Testnet!

Phore will be THE FIRST Pure Proof of Stake coin with Masternodes to implement this!




AWESOME.

You guys said it would happen, like everything before it, it happened and is happening much earlier than anticipated.
Extremely bullish on Phore, BIG things will happen this year if you continue to operate at this pace.

Lots of coins died and were abandoned during this bear market, Phore continued to make progess, never once doubting the mission and again showed they are a serious project that will settle for nothing less than real world adoption.

Hi.. I bought a few PHR (around 132) and would like to know is this good enough to start staking? Or should I buy more?

PHR is absolutely one of the best projects I've seen out there and really believe it will be a huge 2018.

I'd suggest adding to your bag if you are looking to stake.

If you have enough coins (2k-3k) you will receive a decent amount of stakes, almost daily, but it is still random.

Get that bag filled while Phore is cheap, end of year this thing wont be anywhere near it's current value.


Also SEGWIT soon Smiley

You can select between Q1 to Q4

Please give me more details about what you implied by saying "select between Q1 to Q4", Shanto. Thank you very much for your clarifications in advance.

I think what he is referring to is the Phore website: https://phore.io/

If you scroll down you can see a nice visual of the development roadmap including progress being made on each step. You can select between the various quarters Q1-Q4 and see what is expected to be developed during that quarter and like mentioned above, how close to completion each step is.

For example in Q2 Segwit is now 35% complete (was recently only 25%) so progress is being made in that area.

Very exciting future for Phore. Keep an eye out and watch progress, Phore has made a habit of hitting landmark goals before the anticipated date of completion. Hard to find a development team in crypto that meets every objective on time, let alone early.

WOW

Segwit was at 35% complete two days ago and is now at 80%.

Phore team keeps on cranking. I have seen far to many projects slow down and die during this bear market yet Phore seems to only be picking up pace and building momentum.

Keep it up Phore team.

The marketplace is growing nicely, products are being added daily. Very nice selection of sunglasses and watches recently added.

Very very impressed with the ease of use and all the current features, especially considering this is just a beta.

This is the future and reminds me of the early day of Ebay, except this is decentralized and charges ZERO fees for either buyer or seller. A true global marketplace that makes international transactions easy, fast, and CHEAP.

The Phore team continues to impress me daily, in an field that has a lot of noise and often little to no action its a breathe of fresh air to see a serious team put development first and foremost over hype. When the dust settles and projects are truly measured and weighed on utility and merit, we will see Phore stand head and shoulders above the rest.

Segwit and side chains next...... let's go.

So bullish on Phore.

Finally a crypto that isn't content with just being a coin. Phore is creating an entire ecosystem for platforms and services.

They aren't all talk and hype like most all other projects either, not only has every deadline been met they've been met early.

The marketplace alone, the first step in a marathon, already sets Phore apart from almost all other projects in this space.

WHY??  Utility

Phore now has a real world working platform that will help to connect the world and reduce friction in global commerce. A worldwide marketplace with no central governing authority and most importantly NO FEES.

As the car did to the train, Phore will do to ebay and the likes.

Welcome to the Phuture.

The first step in real world utility, something 99.99% of other projects can't claim.... and its only the first step in a marathon.

At this rate Phore will be looked back at as a top performer for 2018.

One of the most promising coins for 2018 and the most impressive an ambitious road map I have seen to date.

Impressive team that is rapidly growing. Always available to answer questions and very active across all social platforms.

I have a feeling there will be some early releases ahead of schedule and a few additions to the road map by years end as well.

If there is a project that is pushing extremely hard for real world adoption and utility... it is Phore.

Hey look another useless x11 master node coin just like all the scam coins before it.


Large pre-mine, small AF block rewards and 10k MN collateral? Haha



Please let this project die before it starts and save your investment. Too many community rescued coins as is.


Honestly tired of seeing all these scam projects pop up.

These guys are creating x11 coins with high diff and large pre-mines so they can rent you their shitty d3's on nicehash and rigrentals and furthermore once they fill their pockets selling you nodes for "exchange" listings they ghost. DON'T FALL PREY

Copy/Paste--Rent---Scam--Repeat.



Can you elaborate a little bit more in how us users who mined your first currency will be included in the Bitnodes Pro ecosystem?

Alot of us pointed our miners to Bitnodes for weeks and/or rented hash with our hard earned bitcoin for your first coin. I cannot imagine it was all for naught.

If it was infact just a test, you mislead an entire mining community into mining your original coin and you never told us upfront that we were just part of a test. I cannot imagine that you are that naive and will hold out for some type of value proposition for Bitnodes within the Bitnodes Pro ecosystem.

It was never a test, it's been a money grab the whole time. I'm surprised more people haven't caught on to the fact that this group (or at least a group) of scammers own a large amount of mining rigs. Double scam when they can rent you the hash from their miners and sell you nodes from their large pre-mine. The pr-mine serves two purposes, gives them coins to sell/dump, and free's up their rigs to rent.

With Stellar announcing their DEX and many others developing DEX's is NVO relevant anymore? What will set the NVO DEX apart from these?

Serious question. Long term NVST hodler here.

Unfortunately the reality is this space is evolving quickly, if they don't produce a product in a timely manner bigger projects, with bigger budgets, and better coders will undoubtedly snuff projects like this out. There is still plenty of demand for the ecosystem to support more exchanges but timing at this point is critical as NVO needs to start establishing a user base.

With that said I am an investor from the ICO and will continue to support this project as there are a few things that, IMO, will differentiate it from others.
