Topic: PhoenixMiner 6.2c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux) - page 424. (Read 784958 times)

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!

Runing 50 hours and still very stable no rejected shares and stale shares are the same as before

Power from the wall reduced it from 398Watts to 392,3 Watts

Lesson learnt!   But we are not all lazy. Life gets too complicated at times and you just miss things. Honest mistake.

Anyway I had a good look at the manual now. I might be able to help others if I can answer their questions.

(Random thought)  
Funny thing is, as crypto becomes mainstream, we will have an infinite amount of noobs (Like me in this case) coming in and asking questions. There is no way out of it and we want those noobs for them to buy our coins and for crypto to grow. Get ready!

When you think that there is still people outhere in the world still literaly burning witches... but we want everyone to read the manual of our miner so they don't ask stupid questions when they have a break from burning witches...  

People get tired of how lazy people are and they want instant answers without putting out any effort.
I think he was more polite than he had to be,

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!

That was helpful! If not very polite!

Sorry for being on a rush and not reading the feaking manual! So many things to read in crypto...

Thanks in any case!

And congrats to the dev for the excellent miner!!!

How about RTFM?

I have the same problem with the 2.9e version on my 1060 3GB.

It gives a really good hashrate when mining ethash (small dag) but the moment the dev fee kicks in it crashes.

I believe this is because the dev fee is probably trying to mine ethereum, which has a dag file too big for a 3gb card used with a monitor.

If this is the case, could you set your dev fee to mine something else with a smaller dag fee so the miner doesn't crash? Or can you change any parameters on the dev fee mining so it does not consumes so much memory?

Yes it is core clock not core voltage....

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.

I would guess that has been answered 10 times at least.
Search the forum ......

My rig worked 5 hours 32 minutes with PM 2.9e. The stability of hashrate is perfect!!!

There was anly one time interval where hashrate was not stable. In this time interval I had the following results:

But all other time min value was 192.377, max value was 192.69. I do not know any miner which provides the stability like this one!

There is only one disadvantage - the power consumption increased by 10W. From 750W to 760W (

Thanks, that did the trick, and now kicking myself for not spotting it.
And makes sense given how JSON streams normally use line-delimiting framing.
Not sure why it ever worked in claymore, guess it's doing something funky.

Do you really mean core voltage or isn't it core clock!?

Diferrent cards diffrent settings those are my cards:

Cards are getting 32.7MH and 32.8MH with these settings TDP 51% 52% low wattage, temperature , running very stable at these TDP no rejected shares and very low stale shares..

 

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).

Can you tell me what's the benefit of setting the TDP to such an low value together with increasing the core voltage? What speed (core clock) are your cards running at with these settings?

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.

Hi developers, is it possible to provide information about power usage? By rig and by a separate card. Or at least bu rig?

GPU1 Gigabyte Windforce  TDP 51% , core clock +160, Memory +756 ( temp 45C fan 55%)  core can go over +200 and memory around +800 it can go much over 33MH ..
GPU3 MSI Armor TDP 52%, core clock +31 memory +772 (temp 54 fan 55%) core can go higher around +100 and memory around +800 it also can go higher then 33MH..


Both cards can get higher then 33 if power up  TDP, but then i get higher power consumption...

It does not matter which brand you would get just look which has more warranty, every GTX 1070 can go around 32 and 33 just need some time to test the settings...
