Re: PhoenixMiner 4.1c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)

Hi.
How to make mining software restart after it crashes?
After update to newest phoenixminer with turbo kernerls it crashes more often. I think it is because I only have 120gb ssd. When u combine 13x radeon 580 8gb gpu if requires 99% disk space making the software to crash a few times a week.

On Windows you can monitor every X minutes with a scheduled task if phoenix is running as windows process, my code:

Code:
echo Check mining process...
SETLOCAL EnableExtensions
set EXE=PhoenixMiner.exe

FOR /F %%x IN ('tasklist /NH /FI "IMAGENAME eq %EXE%"') DO IF %%x == %EXE% goto FOUND
echo The process is not running, starting it!
start /D "C:\Insert_your_path\PhoenixMiner_4.1c" ETH.bat

ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 > nul
goto END

:FOUND
echo The process is running
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 1 > nul
goto QUIT

:END
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 2 > nul

:QUIT
exit

On start line corret path with your and change "ETH.bat" with your one.
On my case I run the process every 5 minutes

Lermite kindly provided optimal config for RX570, it may be good on RX580 too.
Using 100% memory is good for CN-Heavy but not always for CN-v8

RX570 4G
Code:
"gpu_threads_conf":
[
  { "mode": "GPU", "worksize": 8, "alpha": 64, "beta": 8, "index": 0, "multi_hash": 976 },
  { "mode": "GPU", "worksize": 8, "alpha": 64, "beta": 8, "index": 0, "multi_hash": 976 },
]

RX570 8G
Code:
"gpu_threads_conf":
[
  { "mode": "GPU", "worksize": 8, "alpha": 64, "beta": 8, "index": 1, "multi_hash": 1008 },
  { "mode": "GPU", "worksize": 8, "alpha": 64, "beta": 8, "index": 1, "multi_hash": 1008 },
]
For my 2 RX 580 8G cards best multi_hash parameters for v8 are multiples of 96. Such as 1104, 1200 etc. Higher - speeder. Best is 1680, 1776 and 1872.

If I can ask, which value do you have set for gpu MHz, mem MHz and voltage?
Now I'm on 1680 for multihash (above this value after some time it crash...) and 1150MHz/2000MHz/850mv for GPU setting... since a couple of hours it works without crashing  Cheesy
I'm getting in the same card from 910 to 960MH/s... I do not understand, however, why the value move up and down so much

Can someone share a working configuration (gpu and mem clock/v and config) for v8 for rx580 8Gb/4Gb?
On v6-v7 I have made a configurations but with v8 I'm unable to get one that stay stable!!!  Sad Cry
Actualy I'm on 1150gpu/2000mem/850mv and

{ "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "index" : X, "multi_hash":1696 }    for 8Gb (doublethread)
{ "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "index" : X, "multi_hash":944 }      for 4Gb (doublethread)

Whit this configuration I can get 950h/s on 0.33b4

I also did some test for bittube but also here I don't reached a stable configuration!
The system sometimes crash during the job (the card that goes into error changes almost every time) other times the miner start and stop immediately after connection with the pool (for this problem I think a problem with a card but it don't write which card goes wrong).

For all this problem I create this scheduled task procedure (win10): if something goes wrong the system restart itself (on startup I have the bat that start a miner process, usually or your or phoenixminer)

Code:
@ECHO OFF

rem exit

SETLOCAL EnableExtensions
set EXE=jce_cn_gpu_miner64.exe
FOR /F %%x IN ('tasklist /NH /FI "IMAGENAME eq %EXE%"') DO IF %%x == %EXE% goto FOUND

set EXE=PhoenixMiner.exe
FOR /F %%x IN ('tasklist /NH /FI "IMAGENAME eq %EXE%"') DO IF %%x == %EXE% goto FOUND

set EXE=SRBMiner-CN.exe
FOR /F %%x IN ('tasklist /NH /FI "IMAGENAME eq %EXE%"') DO IF %%x == %EXE% goto FOUND

echo Mining process is not running, restarting windows...
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 30 > nul
shutdown /r /t 60

goto END

:FOUND
echo %EXE% is running
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 3 > nul
goto QUIT

:END
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 > nul
rem pause

:QUIT
exit

from the moment that I add those GPU lines I get an invalid syntax error when I run the start batch file.

     { "cpu_architecture" : "auto", "affine_to_cpu" : 3, "use_cache" : true, "multi_hash":1 },
]

"gpu_threads_conf" :

It detects both my Interl (id:0) and AMD (id:1) now tho but it's not using any yet.

You made the same mistake I did  Wink
Just add a comma before "gpu_threads_conf" :

JCE,

do I need to do anything special to have my GPU detected/enabled?

I have an AMD Radeon R7 200 I believe.

XMRig detects it but after a few jobs all counters remain 0 or N/A so I wanted to give your GPU version a try.

Edit: this shows XMRig for my card...

[2018-06-23 22:19:09] compiling code and initializing GPUs. This will take a while...
[2018-06-23 22:19:11] #0, GPU #0 AMD Radeon R7 200 Series, intensity: 576 (8/256), cu: 6

not a top class card but the extra 120H/s is better than nothing at all Wink

You need to remove "--auto" in your start line and add "-c confgpu.txt", like this one
jce_cn_gpu_miner64.exe --any --forever --variation %FORK% --low -o %POOL%:%PORT% -u %WALLET% -p %PASSWORD% %SSL% %* -c confgpu.txt

Then edit the file confgpu.txt and change the parameters.
I have done some test with my R7 200 and i go to 140H/s with this parameter (memory at 1050MHz):

"gpu_threads_conf" :
[
     { "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "gamma" : 4, "delta" : 4, "epsilon" : 4, "zeta":4, "index" : 0, "multi_hash":400 },
     { "mode" : "GPU", "worksize" : 8, "alpha" : 64, "beta" : 8, "gamma" : 4, "delta" : 4, "epsilon" : 4, "zeta":4, "index" : 0, "multi_hash":400 },

Hello, does not display the temperature and speed of the fan. Video cards R9 370 series ...

Try to change adl_type parameter, default is 1, try 2.
Put it on "gpu_conf" to get something like that (for intensity, worksize e threads use your stable config, this is only for example):

"gpu_conf" :
[
   { "id" : 0, "intensity" : 50, "worksize" : 4, "threads" : 1, "adl_type": 2},
]


"adl_type" : 1 or 2 , 1 - USE OVERDRIVEN , 2 - USE OVERDRIVE 5. Default is 1 if not set. Option 2 (Overdrive 5) is suitable for older cards

I found a bug: if I start Claymore CryptoNight with some card and then start PhoenixMiner with all the other card then Phoenix crash...
I tried then to start first Phoenix and then Claymore and I saw the problem: I was using the same port (3333)... opsss I forgot to change it!  Shocked

So if the port 3333 is busy PhoenixMiner crash.

I have also a request: can you add to the line of server name also the time when the connection occurred (or a counter)? I ask it because some time my internet connection go down and then up and I need to search on the log if this happened  Sad

who compare with claymore?

On AMD Rx580 I have done some compare with claymore and for me on mono mining the winner is eminer: the reported share on the pool is very close to share reported from eminer.
I have two RX580 (GPU 1150MHz - memory 2175MHz), with eminer i go to 61.2Mh/s while with claymore I have 61.4Mh/s
On the pool the effective hashrate with eminer is from 57.8 to 59.8Mh/s (rarely also 60.1Mh/s!!!!) while with claymore is from 57 to only 58Mh/s ( Huh)

I do not know why this happens but for now I prefer to use eminer!

Claymore has its merits in other peculiarities see the possibility of configuring Mhz and mV

I forgot:
with claymore miner I saw all stale shares on the mining pool (claymore console stale shares=mining pool stale shares)
with eminer I saw few stale shares on the pool although I saw all on the console (eminer console stale shares>mining pool stale shares)
Just to clarify...

Great job and great miner anyway!!!  Grin

Last days I notice that the software some times not report to the mining pool the stale share that I can view on the console Shocked
The problem that I had was low shares and for testing I started claymore miner and I notice that I found a lot of stale shares: it's okay ... the pool have some problems!   Embarrassed Cry Undecided
Now the problem is away but can you correct this problem?

So i need to to set bios to factory so that it can pass signature check?

You need to patch the video drivers. Get the bios signature patcher here: https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher

Just to check if I understand it correctly. I need to install driver then patch the driver with signature patcher from that link. Does that patcher work for every driver? Mainly I want to get AMD Blockchain Workloads driver to work.

Works with AMD Blockchain driver as well as with new one.
Procedure:
1) clean you system with DDU and reboot
2) install new driver and don't reboot
3) run utility Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher
4) and then restart the system

but the driver is slower than blockchain driver?

because i put in on a computer 1x rx570 when blockchain driver won't run, no idea why, driver install correctly but miner close at start, looks like something is missing
i tried manually install driver, and a cleanup driver but something wrong
i have the same problem on my computer with an r9390 blockchain driver won't work


i put 17.10.2 but it s very slow 22.8mh only dual mining, lost 1mh compared to previous driver i had



No Dag fix in the 17.10.2 driver. So unless you're mining an ETH clone like UBQ or EXP, stick with the blockchain driver on v1703. Hopefully AMD will update the blockchain drivers for the Creators update.

You need to change "GPU Workload" on AMD Settings: go to Gaming -> Global Settings and then for each card (you have a Global Graphics for each one) you need to change GPU Workload to "Compute" (before of that operation disable AMD Crossfire). For me work: 31Mh/s before, and 31Mh/s after... I used DDU before install new driver


BBT did a clean install of the v17.10.2 driver using DDU on the 21 card Asus B250 livestream tonight and he only got 28.5 on RX 570's MH/s with UBQ. When he switched to ETH the hashrate droped to 25.5 MH/s on the AMD cards. I didn't see him try the Compute switch though.

https://youtu.be/miUoqnUqk9M?t=3285


I have two rx580, GPU 1150/memory 2175
Before the upgrade i just view this video (go to  2:52 for GPU Workload):

There doesnt seem to be much activity here....OP next update I will try your miner If I have time and compare share counts.  BUt you can do that yourself too you know Smiley

New version released a few mins ago, you can test it.

Great work !

my test rig have about 9-10MH/s increase on eminer xxxRC2, mixed RX570 and RX580

Just a problem: on ethermine the worker was changed from "default" (no specify on command line) to "wyiql"  Huh
On the changed log there is "Intensity improved"... We need to retest for find best "-intensity" value or we can leave the old value (for my 28 on RX 580)?

How can we verify this is only taking out a 1% dev fee? And what is the frequency of the 1% cut vs Claymore?

Even with the slightly higher hashrates, in comparison to Claymore, looks like Eminer profitability is much lower per my Ethermine.org Payout/Rounds dashboard. Also looks like Ether balance accumulates slower on this vs Claymore.

Has anyone else here noticed this? Taking "1%" every 10 minutes is very different from taking 1% every hour.

Please verify and respond.

I'm just talking about windows eminer
I notice that some times eminer write devfee on the log but I did not understand how often this is done (I seem to remember after a few hours that I had started it). You can search on your eminer console with CTRL+F.
Also for the profitability there is a problem: every day there are increase of difficulty!
https://www.coinwarz.com/difficulty-charts/ethereum-difficulty-chart

For me anyway the share is much more constant and with Claymore my average hashrate over the last 24 hours on ethermine was 57.4 and now with eminer is 59.2MH/s (2 x RX580)... your average is less than before?

I`m having a problem with v10 and AMD blockchain edition driver
My GPU, mem and voltage only applies to first card.
i tried to set clocks and voltage for each card (ex: -mvddc 900,900,900) and only 1 time for all but they get applied only for the first card
All my cards are the same vendor and with previous driver and wattoll i was using same settings and worked


I have similar problem with setting in "mixed" rig, which contains old R9 380 cards and a pair of RX480. Sometimes first setting applies to every card. Could fix it using OverdriveNTool only and skipping setting via miner.

You need to disable "AMD Crossfire" from Radeon Settings: go to Gaming -> Global Settings -> Global Graphics and you find here the option

do you have manual or readme ho to use it??

There is no manual, only the comand "eminer -h" for help
If you use ethermine you can use this command (for me intensity 30 is the best value and I have the fan set at 75%)

eminer.exe -S eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -U your_address -P x -intensity 30,30 -fan-percent 75,75
