Re: PhoenixMiner 5.7b: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)

The  new  version  is  finally  ready.  You  can  download  PhoenixMiner  5.8b  from  here:

PhoenixMiner_5.8b_Windows.zip Github
PhoenixMiner_5.8b_Linux.tar.gz Github


Changes in version 5.8b :
  • 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 5.8b

Oh, oh...
Looks like Mrs. Halong saw the power bill...
Quite a sudden drop, again...
At least the number of Workers is up by 300 in the last half hour and the pool Hashrate is slowly climbing...
It may be a new trend...
Just take a deep breath and watch some NFL Football...
Things.
Take.
Time...


I have like 25x T1’s and they constantly give me problems. One has a board that burnt out. Another has 2x boards that stop working within 1-2hr after restart. And alllll others need to be restarted about 2x per day because boards will stop working randomly. Not sure if others are having similar issues but it looks like halong may be having trouble making stable rigs...

Regardless this is pretty scary that it costs more in power than it does to buy a coin outright. We need a price pump quick! Mr mcafee I sure hope your prediction is correct lol!! Ima keep mining & hope things turn around but idk how much longer everybody is going to want to continue / be financially able to continue this....

Never tell me the odds!  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I'm going to speak with the Universe via Edgar Casey tonight and beg for a block..
I just arrived at my new home in Namur Que only to be told I must wait another two weeks for my 400 amps.

Someone just shoot me now please.

We’ve all gone through similar fun times... we feel your pain.

If I’m reading the payout correctly it states that the miner gets a reward who finds the block. Say exact reward amount varies upon several  factors... out of curiosity (if I’m even reading this correctly) what is the reward ROUGHLY. I believe it varies as I stated but would be it like 1btc, 0.1btc or 0.01btc? Was just curious and figured I would ask...

Ps there have been 1,000 payout related questions in the life of this thread and the members are always so extremely helpful in understanding it instead of saying “do a search” or “read page xx” 
I think it’s very cool of you guys being so patient and helpful!!


do you mean this?

"Lucky rewards - since shares are weighted by the difficulty of the share found, if you are a small miner that has a handful of lucky high diff shares, you can earn significantly more, capped at current network difficulty.
Block finder rewards - as per lucky rewards, a large share weight is attached to block finds (but is applied to the next block reward since user rewards are included in the existing unsolved block reward.) The sooner the next block is found, the higher the block finder reward is."

yes that is what i was referring to...

Here is a simple explainer on how HERP and DERP works.

HERP is ckpool.org's equivalent of conventional PPLNS's "last N shares." HERP exists on two levels: at the pool level and at the individual level.

At the pool level, HERP is the pool's total tally of miners' shares at any given point in time. All shares are weighted by their respective difficulty values. In other words, a share with a higher difficulty value occupies a greater proportion of the pool's tally of shares compared to a share with a lower difficulty value. In contrast, conventional PPLNS does not take into account the difficulty value of each share.

At the individual level, HERP is your own tally of difficulty-weighted shares within the pool's total tally.

The N value used by ckpool.org is 5 x (the current Bitcoin network difficulty value). For example, the Bitcoin network's difficulty value currently stands at 4,143,878,474,754.19 — as of block 522147. Therefore, ckpool.org will keep a rolling tally of up to 20,719,392,373,770.95 difficulty-weighted shares. When the pool's tally of difficulty-weighted shares reaches that limit, new shares will constantly replace the oldest shares to keep the total tally at 20,719,392,373,770.95 difficulty-weighted shares.

DERP is the proportion of your individual-level HERP compared to the pool-level HERP, and this is what determines your actual payout amount. Your DERP value may be found by dividing your individual-level HERP by the pool-level HERP.

In other words, your DERP is determined by how many of those 20,719,392,373,770.95 difficulty-weighted shares belong to you. The greater the proportion of individual-level HERP you have out of the pool-level HERP, the greater your payout amount will be. For example, if at this point in time, you have accumulated your own individual-level HERP of 21,000,000,000, then your DERP would be 21,000,000,000 / 20,719,392,373,770.95 = 0.00101354.

You are paid only at the exact moment the pool finds a block, with your payout amount being your DERP at that particular moment in time.

I hope this helps to clear up some of the confusion regarding HERP and DERP.

that helps tremendously thank you so much for the detailed post!!

now i just need to understand how the different difficulty shares work and provide more or less payouts... i can do some google searching on that though to understand it better.

also just to confirm that i / everybody else understands this. our payout is reflected from our herp. our herp is calculated from the last 5x blocks. so if i was ming here and i got

10herp block #1
10herp block #2
10herp block #3
10herp block #4
10herp block #5

my total current herp would be 50herp correct?

now say i buy more rigs and on block #6 i get

30herp block #6

my total herp currently would be 40herp from the last 4x blocks plus 30herp from the most recent 5th block which would put me at 70herp from the most recent 5x blocks correct?

thank you so much for everybody being helpful in explaining this to all of us.

In house? I hope your neighbors are far away. I just mine a mix of four units at the home otherwise I feel like there'd be a riot with pitch forks. Mostly from the wife. ..

No I have a small warehouse with a single bay mechanic shop type setup. I have a custom built huge rack that is like 8ft tall x 25ft wide and it holds over 100x rigs. I have the entire backside of the rack lined with insulation and the hot side of the  rigs pops through the insulation. The bay door is permanently raised like 4ft with a big custom metal vent along the bottom of the bay door that spans the entire width across. with 4x 42” fans up against the vent / grate to spit all of the hot air out into the atmosphere. My only neighbors are a bunch of other mechanic shops. It’s pretty damn noisy and a lot of hot air is flying out of the vent / grate. So far no complaints tho lol. Fingers crossed!!

It’s kind of like a wind tunnel type setup. It’s kind of unique I think...?

This sounds pretty sweet, You have pictures of the exhaust set up floating around?

i have some pictures from when i was building it but i will take some new pics / videos and post  a link here in the next few days. that way you can see it currently all setup and running. looks much more impressive now vs when it was just starting to be built.

It is not hard to explain on a YouTube video with visual props.

It is harder to explain writing on a post format.

there wouldnt happen to be a youtube video explaining it by chance huh? lol

im not even so concerned with understanding it anymore. im just letting my 1ph of power roll in good faith  Grin

i definitely dont quite understand it. i have had about 740th here for a little over a week. my derp got up to .20 in less than a week. and it has pretty much stayed right around there. i recently upped my power to 950th and for the last 3days my derp has stayed right around .22  normally i was getting .06 per day. so 10days wouldve put me at about .60 instead im only at .22 (and i recently was paid .20 when we hit a block)  but even with that im at 33% less than what i would normally make within this time frame.

i messaged CK awhile ago asking about the payment setup of this pool and i didnt quite understand it so i stayed away. then i seen them find 2x blocks in 1day and looking at everybody's payouts i seen that they all made great money in comparison to their hashrates. i realized if i would've been mining there for awhile previously i wouldve made nearly double in that 1day than what i wouldve made mining at slushpool for a month.

all i know is that there are a lot of people in this pool that are alot smarter than i am and they all rave about the pool....  wetsuit is here with his 2ph, halong mining is here with their 20ph and among a ton of other smart people....  if they are all pointing their rigs here then OBVIOUSLY there is some great about this pool.

im not quite smart enough to understand the payout yet but im putting my faith in these others kind words. id rather be here now and get in early than regret it later (like i already did when they found the two blocks)
