I'm another one with disconnect problems, here is my experience on Fedora Core 5 with ActivePython 2.7.2.5 in the Ars pool (phoenix with phatk kernel):

svn checkout http://svn3.xp-dev.com/svn/phoenix-miner/trunk

r111 from yesterday, 30 accepted, 4 rejected (1 real reject, 3 rejects because of disconnect), 188MH/s

If someone could load it up in pdb and figure out what datastructure is doing it, I could probably fix it.

I would start with the RPC code, including the modified Twisted.web library. I run my miners through MMP, and I usually run them for weeks at a time with >100,000 accepted shares between restarts. I don't see any performance problems or memory leaks running with MMP.

Hi,

I think it could be related to longpolling. For example when I mine on slush (rpc only) it works fine for days, as soon as
I mine on a pool that uses longpolling it starts to fill the memory. It happens on arsbitcoin and btcguild in my case.

I don't get the same result. When I mine solo against the standard client (RPC only, no long polling) memory fills up.

After trying the URL, getting an error in firefox, installing chrome, retrying the url in chrome, I finally googled it, and found out it's for linux, Im a winblows nab, and can't for the love of bitcoins, figure out how I get the r110. Please help me, Im getting balder by the minute.

Install Tortoise SVN from http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads.html and use it to perform the checkout.

Before you do that, you should know that running any SVN version of Phoenix requires you to have installed Phython and a bunch of extra Phyton packages. If you can't or won't do that, stick to the offical released version.

Thank you!

Perhaps a stupid question, but where can I get the r110 version? When I go to the SVN it shows r112
I am getting a whole lot of idles and restarts on btcguild with the newest version.

svn checkout -r 110 http://svn3.xp-dev.com/svn/phoenix-miner/trunk

The rewrite for the RPC protocol is finished, and has been uploaded to the SVN.

It works fine in my testing, but more feedback would be great before pushing this as a new version. This SHOULD definitively fix the idle problem, since that was related to the old RPCProtocol.

i tested it and it resulted in constant disconnects from btcguild (all servers). I reverted back to r110 and the problem disappeared.

+1

I was mining for 2 days straight with constant disconnects from btcguild (all servers) and bitcoins.lc for about 10-15% rejected. There were no disconnects from slush's pool though.

Reverted to revision r110 and now all is good with btcguild and bitcoins.lc.

I think its the rpc code itself not the modified twisted persistent client. bitHopper uses almost identical code from the bugfix and shows no memory gain.

That'd be great c00w. Hopefully that'll fix this as well: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=29977.msg376803#msg376803

Has anyone noticed a memory leak with phoenix? I seem to be getting roughly 27% of memory usage after two days of running it.

I did a quick experiment last night on Ubuntu.

% memstat | grep python | head -4
9228k: PID 1747 (/usr/bin/python2.6)
201956k: PID 2295 (/usr/bin/python2.6)
9248k: PID 2311 (/usr/bin/python2.6)
219828k: PID 2344 (/usr/bin/python2.6)

8 hours later:
% memstat | grep python | head -4
9228k: PID 1747 (/usr/bin/python2.6)
231140k: PID 2295 (/usr/bin/python2.6)
9248k: PID 2311 (/usr/bin/python2.6)
249004k: PID 2344 (/usr/bin/python2.6)

So yes, there is a definite memory leak.

Shouldn't more MHash/s mean more submitted shares?

Where do you get the mhash0 number from? try using the -a parameter of phoenix with a large averaging period and see if it really goes up in the longer term. Sometimes an overclocked card will develop heat problems and stop itself or clock itself down for short periods again and again. Local overheating at some point of the chip can happen even if the overall temperature of the GPU is well within a sane range.

If you look closely at the bottom chart, it appears the upper portion has a slightly steeper slope than the lower section. Plot a differential chart (x[n+1] - x[n]) and you will see the change more clearly.

I've been watching my miner for quite a while now and I have observed some strange behaviour in share reporting.

When I raise the clock of my card:

the MHash/s rises:

but the rate of growth of submitted shares stays the same:

Shouldn't more MHash/s mean more submitted shares?

Does phoenix allow external adjustments to the gpu utilization, or would it be possible to add support for such a feature?

What I need to do is feed from external source to phoenixminer specific gpu utilization ie. external source parses to phoenix miner instance to utilise 29% of gpu cycles etc.
