Topic: PhoenixMiner 6.2c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux) - page 157. (Read 784857 times)

Actually, according to etherscan, the difficulty is essentially the exact same today as it was when all was well and good with my shares per hour.   

I'm wide awake.

I have win 10x64 + 4Gb RAM on all farms, - everything is enough, don't worry!))

Anybody who uses Win 10, do you have the same problems with hashrate which we have on 1070 under Win 7? May be I just need to switch to Win 10? RAM 8Gb. Will it be enough for Win 10?

and there are new much more efficient GPUs, not to mention ASICs so time has come to sell ( doubt solar is of any help in Canada ). Maybe use ( if you have it there ) low tariff during night...

Wake up, difficulty increased by 33%

Guys, like most of you, I've been using Claymore for years and loved every single minute of it.  My 32 gpu's hashed away beautifully.   Since Claymore miner stopped working, I have decided to give PhoenixMiner a try.

I'm hoping someone here can help me makes sense of this.

I've got four (AMD 580 8GB) rigs Mining ETH totalling 32 GPUs.   All are hashing away (according to phoenixminer) between 29-31 mh/s per card, just very similar to what I was getting with Claymore's Miner.  

I'm used to getting well over 1000 mh/s worth of shares with those rigs.  In fact, Nanopool is showing that my reported hashrate is about that as well, except my Current-Hashrate and 6-hour average hashrate hovers around 730 mh/s and my shares reflect that.

I've tried undervolting, not undervolting, adjusting my clock speeds from super high to super low and I"m getting essentially the same results no matter what.   Been testing this for well over a few weeks.

My concern is the amount of shares I'm getting with my little mini-farm.   After hydro expenses I'm left with peanuts.
All that mining equipment I feel is going to waste.


It just seems suspicious and depressing that pointing 32 GPU's (roughtly 1000 mh/s) at a pool with cards that were all performing perfectly for some time are generating substantially less shares, to the point where it almost makes it not all too worth it to mine anymore.   getting about 33.3% less shares, and unfortunately hydro costs are up here in Canada making my 'profits' super bleek and light.  

Anyone know of another miner or any tricks I may be missing to get my fair share of shares for hashpower.

There's gotta be a more viable solution to make use of several thousands of $ in mining equipment with re-occurring monthly expenses.

I'm using the latest AMD drivers and the latest PhoenixMiner.


Is anyone here at all perfectly happy with the performance of their 580 8GB rigs?

do you have an overclock on the cpu or ram? this can cause a freeze.


edit: cpu will normaly bsod and ram will freeze pc if overclocked to high. if it is the gpu settings the driver will crash and so not freeze the pc.

Hello, I have an issue with my freezing PC during running phoenix miner. I have 5700 XT Red Devil, Bios moded (running on win 10, desktop). I have this OC:
Core Voltage = 900
Power limit = 80%
Core Clock = 1350
Memory clock = 1790
Fan speed = 70% (fix) (avg temp during mining is 48cels)

miner with this set up starts working, 54,8 MH/s, 120w. Accept shares, no rejections, and after 30-60 min without any reason all PC freeze. No other programs expect Miner and afterburner are running during mining. Do you have any idea where could be problem?

Gminer did not work on 2 of my boxes.  Both have Win7 and 1080ti.  Is Phoenix going to fix?

Sorry to bump the message but it is 2 days now that I'm trying to run the newer version but still no luck
NVidia drivers 460.89 and phoenix miner 5.4c crashing on start up... and 5.3b works fine but unable to initialize nvlm

Anyone with the same problem? Any solution?

All 4gb cards will soon cease to function in Ethereum mining tasks due to the DAG files now starting to exceed 4gb.Zombie mode still enables the cards to mine sometime in January 2021 but at continually decreasing hash rates.

I think this doesnt have solution for now, the hashrate down a lot with 4 GB cards (and i already put all commands to try to get better). The 8 GB Cards are as the first day.

Ive 1 (the main) with 8 GB, and it is minning right now in 24 Mhz. The others 4gb cards from the same rig, are in half or less (12 mhz) when in the past this cards can mining in 20/22.

The 8 gb in Main is Asus Strix RX 570 8GB. Ive also other Asrock in other rig as main and its a little better (26 Mhz).

But in the olds 4 gb cards, the drop is huge (Sapp, MSI, Giga, 4 GB), 12,12,11 Mhz.


Im with Crimson Beta driver (17.X i think) by manual install, and works equal or little better that 20.X from Adrenaline.

Windows 10, Core2Quad, 8 GB DDR2, 30 GB in Virtual memory

Can I set a command in the config.txt to delay the operation of the miner. When I use separate bat file command timeout is working great and I can set the delay but when I try set the delay in the config.txt timeout is not working which is the correct command to set delay of the start of the miner in the config.txt

gminer 2.38 fixed it heheh ...miner devs must be overlooking something for windows 7 OS, maybe because it is less used.....but if it ain't broke ...  ... 

but 3080 hash is still the same in WIN7, 100mhs
looks like only 10xx series have a problem

Well its broke now.

Hello Mr, I am using gtx 1070, phoenix and hiveos mhs 27. how can I upgrade? Thanks...

maybe in the future when GPUs are using 16gb, 20gb, 24gb or more that would not be an issue for Win10

Yes, WIN7 is/was great for minig, zero problems till now.
Win10 alocates some GPU memory so its lower hash on some algos.
Maybe linux is a way to go.
