If you want to mine CLO, no worker after the wallet. wallet.worker don´t work, but only wallet without worker works perfect.

Hi all, have rig with x6 RX580 8GB(x3 XFX GTS and x3 STRIX TOP Gaming), when i start miner with parameter -tt 64, miner set only for 3 cards XFX (Claymore work fine for all gpu). Help pls( Screen: https://i.imgur.com/LPRmrWq.png

In the bat file you are going to have to add the command:
-coin pgc

Why -coin pgc ? It should rather be: -coin etc 
In my case, because callisto is not supported yet, I had to set another coin for the dev fee due to having a graphic card with low memory (dag size). I chose pgc because I assumed that it was going to have a smaller dag than ETH (the default one).
If you are mining etc by all means set it at etc so it doesnt have to download the dag from a different coin and it will use the same one you loaded when you started the miner.

Mining with 2.9e since the release and having 157mh/s reports by the miner and the pool so far, no crashes no nothing! Great work man!

I am not sure! Why dont you just give it a try!

I didn't have a problem with other older miners in win 10 provided the 1060 3gb was not the main graphic card with a monitor connected. With a monitor the graphic memory usage goes too high.
Tested. It still not work with 1063 on win10, Sad.

Hey if any of you re interested check out

ETH.ethertrench.com

FREE mining pool. No pool fees.  Low latency(few stales). If I compare my overall returns for the same hashrate as I had when I was on Supernova the payouts are almost double!!!

Pays out very quickly no hassles, also pays for valid uncle shares(stales) as well.

its a smaller pool so finds less often but has large miners come and go that help frequency of finds.

i ve used Phoenix on here for the last few weeks and its been great.

FYI disclosure. I have no affiliation to anyone running or on the pool.

Enjoy!
what is your bat file for phoenix miner? standard commands wont work.thx in advance

I am not sure! Why dont you just give it a try!

I didn't have a problem with other older miners in win 10 provided the 1060 3gb was not the main graphic card with a monitor connected. With a monitor the graphic memory usage goes too high.

Does 2,9e works with 1063 or still no?
Sorry I can't understand you well. If you mean if it works with a nvidia 1060 3gb, the answer is yes!
In the bat file you are going to have to add the command:
-coin pgc

1063 problem is dag file for ETH on windows10. Claymore fixed this problem  for few next epochs. So my question: is it possible to mine eth on 2.9e with 1063 on windows 10 or no? Huh

Does 2,9e works with 1063 or still no?
Sorry I can't understand you well. If you mean if it works with a nvidia 1060 3gb, the answer is yes! Although not sure it can do ethereum anymore, but still good for other ethash coins.
In the bat file you are going to have to add the command:
-coin pgc

I use that one to mine Callisto and it doesn't matter that it is not the same coin I am mining.

This is because by default, the dev fee mines ethereum, which might use too much memory and crash the miner.

This is my bat:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool YOURPOOL -wal YOURADDRESS -coin pgc -gpow 95 -lidag 1

The 2 last commands are to reduce gpu use so I can use windows at the same time and to make the miner more stable when it loads the dag file.

So, you're a smart-ass too I see.
I didn't say everyone was lazy, just you in particular.
And, we don't need lectures about witches and noobs. Just do some basic research before you post. I know that's a lot to ask.


Apologies again. Not my intention, I am just weird.

I am sincere in this... I will take your advice!

Unbelievable!  2.9e has 0 stale shares.  I am shocked.  Went from 2.8 with around 6% at times to 0%!  Same start up bat settings.  Congratulations, you've built a near perfect miner, the best of what I have ever seen!

can you share a screen shot of your RIG pool results? would love to see this 0% stale shares

Hi. What about Linux version?
   Coming in the near future.


seems ok, but I encountered a problem, I use the remote manager of claymore, and works on everything, but with version 2.9e and only sees the AMD, the gtx says that they are not connected, instead turn quietly, you happen?

 Undecided Undecided
   Check if the port you are using for remote monitoring is free - you can't have more than one program on the same rig using the same port for remote management.


What are we still happy with phoenixminer 2.9.e the stale shares are back again, while it was with the 2.9 .d away the joy is so short-lived unfortunately.
   There are no changes that affect stale shares at 2.9e, so it must be bad luck (or pool issues). The internal stale shares in 2.9 are close to zero (less than 0.1% to be exact) and practically all stale shares are because of a) latency of your connection to the pool, and b) latency of the pool itself.


i'm back to 2.8C , i had better hashrate with that ! RX580 8Gb MSI Gameing X
   You may need to try -clkernel 2 and/or different -gt values to achieve optimal hashrate with the new kernels. Otherwise, you can go back to using the old kernels with -clnew 0.


Unfortunately still crashes after  CUDA errors with Nvidia gtx 1070 cards. The last one that restart well after CUDa errors is 2.7c for me.
   It would be very helpful if you could send as a log file of one of the crashes that doesn't restart the miner. 2.9e should catch all types of error and exceptions in the GPU threads and reboot instead of crashing. Perhaps one of the other threads has crashed but we can't know for sure without a log (just the last few pages before the crash).


Hi developers, is it possible to provide information about power usage? By rig and by a separate card. Or at least bu rig?
   Theoretically, the GPUs report some kind of power usage but we have observed that it is very far from the actual numbers (even when taking into account the efficiency of the PSUs). So, while we can report them, they are at best grossly incorrect, and at worst - misleading.


Hi guys, I would like to know, if you run two or more instances of Phoenix Miner, will the mining speed of those instances be reduced compared to running only on one instance? I am planning on running at least two instances of Phoenix Miner.

Lastly, when running another instance of Phoenix Miner, what is the best practice, should I just create another batch file in the same folder or create a new folder with a another executable file of Phoenix Miner? I am currently using two batch files with one executable file in a single folder and it is working fine.

Thank you in advance for any replies. Smiley
   There shouldn't be any noticeable performance decrease from running few instances but the memory usage will be higher and the chance for stale shares may be elevated slightly due to all instances receiving new job(s) at about the same time. It is best to copy the program at two different folders (if nothing else, at least you will be able to clearly separate the log files this way) and use different config.txt and epools.txt files. You can place the options in the config.txt and the pools in epools.txt. Then the bat files will contain just:
Code:
PhoenixMiner.exe
pause


Looks like 2.9e on 6 GTX-1070 is less profitable then 2.8c.

My params are the following

-nvidia -cdm 2 -cdmport 3333 -cdmpass -minRigSpeed 188 -rmode 2 -tstop 65 -tstart 40

PM 2.8c gives me 191.65MH and costs 750W (1MH costs 3.913W)
PM 2.9e gives me 192.5MH and costs 760W (1MH costs 3.948W)

It is not critical, of course, but...

Good news: PM 2.9e provides more stable hashrate then PM 2.8c or any Claymore or any Ethminer.
I have 0 stale shares during 1:25 (1 hour, 25 minutes).
  The deceased stale shares alone should be more than enough to offset the power difference. You can still use -nvnew 0 to revert to the old CUDA kernels but this will increase stale shares significantly.


Tested 2.9e for one day and here's my results:

x6 RX 580 4GB Sapphire (Stable 188mh/s - same hashrate as 2.8c)
x6 RX 570 4GB Armor (Very unstable 185mh/s - lower hashrate than 2.8c and it was more stable compared to 2.9e)
x6 RX 570 8GB Sapphire (Stable 193mh/s - lower hashrate than 2.8c)

Experiencing high stale shares on my RX 570 Armor Rig which wasn't the case in version 2.8c

Hopefully next update will be better.
  The lower hashrates are probably because you have to use different -gt values with the new kernles (or try -clkernel 2). The higher stale shares are definitely caused by something outside the miner, as in 2.9 the internal stale shares are practically eliminated.


My phoenixminer 2.9e always freeze when the miner trying to connect ethermine for dev fee mining. Anyone else experiencing the same?
  What coin you are mining? Most probably the miner can't determine it automatically and then it defaults to ETH for devfee. If you GPU(s) don't have enough memory for ETH DAG, the miner can crash. To avoid this, use the -coin command-line option to specify the coin that you are mining and PhoenixMiner will use it for devfee, avoiding the expensive DAG regeneration.


Help Me!

I have a 1060 6gb card running with 2.8c then it's normal. MSI: Pow 65 core -400 mem 700. But when using 2.9e with MSI as above it error:

Please help me adjust the MSI so that I get the highest productivity on the 2.9e. Thanks very much!
   You may need to decrease the memory overclock. The new CUDA kernels are utilizing the GPU more fully, which may lead to such problems when the overclocks are on the edge of stability. Another possible remedy is to try and force the cards to be in P0 performance state instead of P2, which by some accounts makes them more stable at high overclocks.
