Re: PhoenixMiner 5.9d: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)

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.

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 :
  • 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

Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF effect in price
by
notung
on 05/07/2014, 19:42:39 UTC
I have a few questions regarding the Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF and its effect on price. I keep reading that it will make skyrocket the price of bitcoin. However, I don't see how. Let me explain:

As far as I know the Winklevoss ETF consists on putting on the market shares representing the value of the bitcoins held by the twins. Let's say they have 100.000 BTC and they will create 1.000.000 shares (hypothetical numbers). I would expect that the price of each share would be calculated according to the price of BTC at the moment of the IPO. Afterwards, the price of the shares would change depending on supply/demand. How can this supply/demand of the shares affect the price of bitcoin in markets like Bitstamp/Huobi/etc? If the Bitcoins held by the brothers are not sold or they don't buy more, how can it affect the price?
The way that I understand it is that the price of the shares will be highly influenced by the value of bitcoin, but not the other way around!

Am I missing something? Otherwise, just let me know how the shares can affect the price of BTC.

Thanks in advance for clarifying my doubts!

MtGox is lying... probably they stole all the bitcoins
by
notung
on 28/02/2014, 19:29:45 UTC
If I understand well, a poor protocol implementation could cause MtGox internal system to re-send more than once certain transactions due to the malleability issue.
If this happened, the bitcoins are not lost... somebody (that could be also MtGox BTW) who was "attacking" the protocol by creating the transactions with a different id is the owner of the bitcoins leaked by mtgox.

I guess that it should not be very hard to find duplicates in outgoing transactions with the same amount.

If my assumptions are right then this implies the following:

MtGox is lying when they say that the bitcoins are lost due to a flaw the bitcoin protocol. The bitcoins were stollen from the exchange due to a poor implementation.

On the other hand, it could happen that they had a faulty internal exchange software making disappear bitcoins (destroying the only copy of private keys containing bitcoins). I really cannot believe that this happened. And this will be impossible to prove. They could have stolen all the bitcoins and then say that they lost the private keys.

Too many mistakes/bugs are necessary to loose bitcoins for ever. My personal opinion is that they have stolen the bitcoins and they did shutdown the system to avoid users to recover their transaction ids. Without this is almost impossible to track all the bitcoins that went in/out from MtGox.

Re: 124000 USD from bitcoins order from Overstock.com

on 10/01/2014, 23:17:37 UTC
this is bearish news.

Oh man, we've made a big mistake guys. The key to success is not to let any more people find out about bitcoin and discourage it's acceptance for services. Then the 25 of us can refuse to sell any of it to each other for less than a million dollars each, and tally up our riches!

Reasons to be a bear:
1) "No one is spending bitcoin!"
2) "No major retailers accept bitcoin!"
3) "Bitcoin isn't well known enough!"
4) "Too many people are spending! Ignore reason 1. Logical contradictions are ok!"

5) "I sold all my bitcoins!"

6) Introducing some FUD here and there price will go down and I'll buy some coins cheaper...

I bought in at $448 on the dip a week ago.

Sold some at $630 because I thought it was topping out.

Sold more at $730 because I thought it was topping out.

I am now buying less coins than I had originally and cold storing them in safe locations and trading zero for a year.

Someone please tell me this is a good idea so I can get back to my normal life!!! I'm tired of looking at charts!
Welcome to the BTC world!  We were all there Wink
Buy and hold is a great strategy!

Bitcoin mass adoption

How to help bitcoin consolidate as a currency?

It comes to my mind a few things but the most important ones are:
- Have some cash in one exchange (fiat). Each time we need to buy something online, try to find a place we can buy it in bitcoins. Then we just buy the right amount of bitcoins and we purchase the item. For this I would suggest to have the cash in exchanges like btc-e where the price per bitcoin is lower than mtgox/btcchina.
- Tell everyone (friends/family) to use it. Help them to create wallets and teach them how to use them.

Any more ideas? How can we help bitcion adoption?

I am sure that if you would reveal your source and people would give it credit, they would be buying bitcoins, so price would go up. Just reveal the secret and you will get more profit than just with a 0.01-0.02 BTC for the tip. Otherwise, it's just speculation.  Wink

Some people never learn.
We're at the second bounce of the falling trend of the Elliott Wave, right after the head-and-shoulders.

Some people never learn.
Bitcoin doesn't care about charts ,ta, waves and stuff.
Say that to the clown prophet who predicted the current rally and the one before with TA  Roll Eyes


Guy 1: The price tomorrow will be <400$ because look at the chart!!
Guy 2: The price tomorrow will be between 400 because look at the chart!!
Guy 3: The price tomorrow will be between 401 because look at the chart!!
...
Guy 400:The price tomorrow will be between 800 because look at the chart!!
Guy 401:The price tomorrow will be >800 because look at the chart!!


So one thing will be true for 100%: One guy will be right and he will claim to be a prophet! Roll Eyes

If you sell your bitcoins and buy them afterward, do you need to declare it for some kind of taxes? Or just when you sell and transfer it to your bank account?

I think the tendency has change and obviously it will keep going down the next days. If you are in the trade mood... sell and buy lower. Otherwise hold till the we catch again this prices in a couple of months.
