The issue with SSL connections to ethermine is indeed caused by an expired root certificate (DST Root CA X3). In theory this is fixed by using a "cross-signing" with other root certificates but in many cases this doesn't work as intended. We have make the necessary fixes and we are releasing PhoenixMiner 6.1b,
which should fix all SSL connection issues.

The new features in this release are:
- Fixed an issue with expired SSL certificate that led to "certificate verify failed" errors when connecting to some pools (notably Ethermine) when using SSL connections
- Now the miner will send SSL SNI host name which may be needed by some pools for SSL certificate validation. To go back to the old behavior (no SNI host name), use the new command-line parameter -nosni
- Added support for latest AMD Windows drivers up to version 22.4.1
- Other small fixes
