PhoenixMiner: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)

Laster · February 25, 2019, 9:24am

PhoenixMiner is the fastest (perhaps the fastest) Etash (ETH, ETC, Muiscoin, EXP, UBQ, etc.), which supports

Both on AMD cards, and on Nvidia (including on farms). It runs under Windows x64
and Fees only 0.65% (the lowest% compared to analogues).

You can download PhoenixMiner 4.1 from here:
Download PhoenixMiner 4.1

Support:
Supports AMD Vega, 580/570/480/470, 460/560, Fury, 390/290 and older AMD GPUs with enough VRAM

Changes in version 4.1c (since 4.0b):

Added faster U turbo 70 kernels (-clkernel 3) for AMD 470/480/570/580 GPUs.
These are usually faster than normal kernels. If you want to use ETH or ETC. You can use less than 4 GB or less.
Added Blake2s dual mining kernels and AMD Fury GPUs for AMD
Added Blake2s dual mining GPUs for AMD 280/285/290/380/390 dual kernels
New faster kernels for AMD 280/290/390 GPUs
Added alternative kernels (-clkernel 2) for AMD 280 GPUs
Added options -pauseat and -resumeat for scheduled pausing and resuming of the minerals.
Example: 22:00 -resumeat -pauseat 6:00 - the mine will be mine only between 22:00 and 6:00.
Example 2: -resumeat 22: 00.12: 00 -pauseat 6: 00.16: 00 - you can specify multiple pause and resume times.
The mine is a computer, a computer, a computer, a computer, a computer, a computer, a computer, and a computer. In
The pool is disconnected. The pool is resumed.
Added a watchdog protection
If you’re looking for a devfee, then it isn’t supported.
VRAM is not enough if the requited DAG epoch. DAG epoch coins.
Added a -rvram option to set VRAM that cannot be used for mining. The default values are 384 MB on Windows, and 128 MB on Linux. You can also set VRAM.
Added command-line option
Added command-line option -wdtimeout to set the timeout of the watchdog timer. The valid values are from 30 to 300 seconds, the default is 45 seconds.
Added support for Windows AMD drivers 18.12.x and 19.1.1
Other small improvements and fixes
Supports Nvidia 10x0 and 9x0, as well as great maps with enough VRAM
Highly optimized OpenCL and CUDA
The lowest development fee is 0.65% (35 seconds yields production for every 90 minutes)
Advanced statistics: the actual complexity of each stock

Important message for everyone that is running older versions of PhoenixMiner (before 4.7):

Changes in version 4.7c (since 4.6c):

New kernels for Navi (RX5700) with better stability. Should solve the freezing and restarts that some miners are experiencing with Navi cards

Reduced VRAM usage for both AMD and Nvidia cards on Windows and Linux

Added command-line option -config to load a config.txt file. This allows combining command-line options and config.txt file.

Added support for mining QuarkChain (QKC) without DAG switching on devfee (use -coin qkc )

Added support for the latest AMD Windows drivers up to 19.10.1

Other small improvements and fixes.

PhoenixMiner is fast (arguably the fastest) Ethash (ETH, ETC, Muiscoin, EXP, UBQ, etc.) miner that supports
both AMD and Nvidia cards (including in mixed mining rigs). It runs under Windows x64 and Linux x64
and has a developer fee of 0.65% (the lowest in the industry). This means that every 90
minutes the miner will mine for us, its developers, for 35 seconds.

PhoenixMiner also supports Ubqhash for mining UBQ, ProgPOW for mining BCI , and dual mining
Ethash/Ubqhash with Blake2s.

The speed is generally faster than Claymore’s Ethereum miner in eth only mode
(we have measured about 0.4-1.3% speed improvement but your results may be slightly lower or
higher depending on the GPUs). To achieve highest possible speed on AMD cards it may be needed
to manually adjust the GPU tune factor (a number from 8 to about 400, which can be changed
interactively with the + and - keys while the miner is running).

If you have used Claymore’s Dual Ethereum miner, you can switch to PhoenixMiner with
minimal hassle as we support most of Claymore’s command-line options and confirguration
files.

Please note that PhoenixMiner is extensively tested on many mining rigs but there still may be some bugs.
Additionally, we are actively working on bringing many new features in the future releases.
If you encounter any problems or have feature requests, please post them here (in this thread).
We will do our best to answer in timely fashion.

Pool options:

3. Command-line arguments

Note that PhoenixMiner supports most of the command-line options of Claymore’s dual Ethereum miner
so you can use the same command line options as the ones you would have used with Claymore’s miner.

-pool <hostort> Ethash pool address (prepend the host name with ssl:// for SSL pool, or http:// for solo mining)
-wal Ethash wallet (some pools require appending of user name and/or worker)
-pass Ethash password (most pools don’t require it, use ‘x’ as password if unsure)
-worker Ethash worker name (most pools accept it as part of wallet)
-proto Selects the kind of stratum protocol for the ethash pool:
1: miner-proxy stratum spec (e.g. coinotron)
2: eth-proxy (e.g. dwarfpool, nanopool) - this is the default, works for most pools
3: qtminer (e.g. ethpool)
4: EthereumStratum/1.0.0 (e.g. nicehash)
5: EthereumStratum/2.0.0
-coin Ethash coin to use for devfee to avoid switching DAGs:

auto: Try to determine from the pool address (default)
eth: Ethereum
etc: Ethereum Classic
exp: Expanse
music: Musicoin
ubq: UBIQ
pirl: Pirl
ella: Ellaism
etp: Metaverse ETP

b2g: Bitcoiin2Gen
esn: Ethersocial
ath: Atheios
reosc: REOSC

4. Configuration files

Note that PhoenixMiner supports the same configuration files as Claymore’s dual Ethereum miner
so you can use your existing configuration files without any changes.

Instead of using command-line options, you can also control PhoenixMiner with configuration
files. If you run PhoenixMiner.exe without any options, it will search for the file config.txt
in the current directory and will read its command-line options from it. If you want, you can
use file with another name by specifying its name as the only command-line option
when running PhoenixMiner.exe.

You will find an example config.txt file in the PhoenixMiner’s directory.

Instead of specifying the pool(s) directly on the command line, you can use another configuration
file for this, named epools.txt. There you can specify one pool per line (you will find an example
epools.txt file in the PhoenixMiner’s directory).

For the dual mining pools, you can use the dpools.txt file, which has the same format as epools.txt
but for the secondary coin. You will find an example epools.txt file in the PhoenixMiner’s directory.
Note that unlike the epools.txt, which is loaded each time when the miner starts, the dpools.txt file
is only read if you specify a dual mining pool on the command line with -dpool, or at least add
the -dcoin blake2s command-line option.

The advantages of using config.txt and epools.txt/dpools.txt files are:

If you have multiple rigs, you can copy and paste all settings with these files

If you control your rigs via remote control, you can change pools and even the miner options by
uploading new epools.txt files to the miner, or by uploading new config.txt file and restarting
the miner.

5. Remote monitoring and management

Phoenix miner is fully compatible with Claymore’s dual miner protocol for remote monitoring and
management. This means that you can use any tools that are build to support Claymore’s dual miner,
including the “Remote manager” application that is part of Claymore’s dual miner package.

We are working on much more powerful and secure remote monitoring and control functionality and
control center application, which will allow better control over your remote or local rigs and some
unique features to increase your mining profits.

Changes in version 4.8c (since 4.7c):

Added support for the latest AMD drivers under Linux 19.30-934563 and for mining with RX5700 cards under Linux. Note that drivers are quite buggy and most of the overclocking options don’t work, as well as most of the hardware monitoring options.
Added a new flexible way for setting GPU-specific options with selectors. Example: -cclock 1-3:1090,4:1300 -mclock nvidia:+450,amd:2000,:1900,gtx1070*ti:+200 See Readme.txt for more information.
Added command-line option -gbase to set 0-base or 1-based GPU indexes (the default is 1). With - gbase 1 (the default), the first GPU is GPU1, then GPU2, etc. With -gbase 0 the first GPU is GPU0, second - GPU1, etc. Note that this also changes the indexes that are used with all command line options that accept GPU indexes (e.g. -gpus ) as well as these used with the interactive commands on the miner shell window
Validated support for the latest AMD Windows drivers 19.11.3 (but they already work with 4.7c because there were no significant changes in the OpenCL driver)
Other small improvements and fixes.

Pool options:

3. Command-line arguments

Note that PhoenixMiner supports most of the command-line options of Claymore’s dual Ethereum miner
so you can use the same command line options as the ones you would have used with Claymore’s miner.

-pool Ethash pool address (prepend the host name with ssl:// for SSL pool, or http:// for solo mining)
-wal Ethash wallet (some pools require appending of user name and/or worker)
-pass Ethash password (most pools don’t require it, use ‘x’ as password if unsure)
-worker Ethash worker name (most pools accept it as part of wallet)
-proto Selects the kind of stratum protocol for the ethash pool:
1: miner-proxy stratum spec (e.g. coinotron)
2: eth-proxy (e.g. dwarfpool, nanopool) - this is the default, works for most pools
3: qtminer (e.g. ethpool)
4: EthereumStratum/1.0.0 (e.g. nicehash)
5: EthereumStratum/2.0.0
-coin Ethash coin to use for devfee to avoid switching DAGs:

auto: Try to determine from the pool address (default)
eth: Ethereum
etc: Ethereum Classic
exp: Expanse
music: Musicoin
ubq: UBIQ
pirl: Pirl
ella: Ellaism
etp: Metaverse ETP
pgc: Pegascoin
akroma: Akroma
whale: WhaleCoin
vic: Victorium
nuko: Nekonium

clo: Callisto
dbix: DubaiCoin
moac: MOAC
etho: Ether-1
etcc: EtherCC
yoc: Yocoin
b2g: Bitcoiin2Gen
esn: Ethersocial
ath: Atheios
reosc: REOSC

4. Configuration files

Note that PhoenixMiner supports the same configuration files as Claymore’s dual Ethereum miner
so you can use your existing configuration files without any changes.

Instead of using command-line options, you can also control PhoenixMiner with configuration
files. If you run PhoenixMiner.exe without any options, it will search for the file config.txt
in the current directory and will read its command-line options from it. If you want, you can
use file with another name by specifying its name as the only command-line option
when running PhoenixMiner.exe.

You will find an example config.txt file in the PhoenixMiner’s directory.

Instead of specifying the pool(s) directly on the command line, you can use another configuration
file for this, named epools.txt. There you can specify one pool per line (you will find an example
epools.txt file in the PhoenixMiner’s directory).

For the dual mining pools, you can use the dpools.txt file, which has the same format as epools.txt
but for the secondary coin. You will find an example epools.txt file in the PhoenixMiner’s directory.
Note that unlike the epools.txt, which is loaded each time when the miner starts, the dpools.txt file
is only read if you specify a dual mining pool on the command line with -dpool, or at least add
the -dcoin blake2s command-line option.

The advantages of using config.txt and epools.txt/dpools.txt files are:

If you have multiple rigs, you can copy and paste all settings with these files

If you control your rigs via remote control, you can change pools and even the miner options by
uploading new epools.txt files to the miner, or by uploading new config.txt file and restarting
the miner.

5. Remote monitoring and management

Phoenix miner is fully compatible with Claymore’s dual miner protocol for remote monitoring and
management. This means that you can use any tools that are build to support Claymore’s dual miner,
including the “Remote manager” application that is part of Claymore’s dual miner package.

We are working on much more powerful and secure remote monitoring and control functionality and
control center application, which will allow better control over your remote or local rigs and some
unique features to increase your mining profits.
