Last edit: April 11, 2018, 05:01:08 PM by PhoenixMiner #1426 EDIT: Replaced 2.8b with 2.8d, the only difference being the fix for the worker problem on some pools.



First beta of 2.9 branch is here - PhoenixMiner 2.9d. It can be downloaded from:

https://mega.nz/#F!OFdxFT7a!jXPLJ_JTz-WeNY0W8E55ww



Here are the checksums to verify the download:

Note that this is not an official release. The changes are:

Substantial improvements in the kernels for AMD GPUs, providing higher hashrate, lower percentage of stale shares, and slightly lower power consumption. The new kernels are used by default for AMD GPUs. You can still revert to using the old kernels with -clnew 0

Note that the optimal -gt values for the new kernels may be different than before (but should be in the same ballpark)

Added optimized kernels for AMD RX550, based on the Baffin kernels (but we can't test them as our RX550 turned out to use Baffin cores, so please let us know if they work for you)

Alternative (-clkernel 2) kernels for AMD RX550, RX460/560, and 285/380. Just like the alternative kernels for Polaris (RX470/480/570/580), sometimes these can give you higher hashrate than then default (-clkernel 1) optimized kernels.

New Nvidia kernels, providing higher hashrate and much lower percentage of stale shares. You can still revert to using the old CUDA kernels with -nvnew 0. The mining intensity (-mi) is by default 12 when using the new Nvidia kernels and 10 for the old kernels

New -clf parameter to control how often the OpenCL (AMD) kernels will sync (0 - never, 1 - sometimes (default), 2 - always). Try this if you have unstable hashrate on AMD GPU but in general, it is best to leave it alone

Added -logfile parameter to be able to set the name of the logfile. If you place an asterisk (*) in the logfile name, it will be replaced by the current date/time to create a unique name every time PhoenixMiner is started. If there is no asterisk in the logfile name, the new log entries will be added to the same file

Added -logdir parameter to specify different folder for the logfiles

Added -logsmaxsize parameter to specify the max size of the log files (200 MB by default)

Many small fixes and changes

Let us know if you have any stability or other problems with the new release as it has big changes in many important areas. First beta of 2.9 branch is here -.

Last edit: April 11, 2018, 11:55:15 AM by PhoenixMiner #1427 Quote from: rodyw on April 10, 2018, 08:30:15 PM I really like this miner. It uses slightly more power then Claymore, but the interface is much better. Maybe a noob question or maybe it has been asked before, but what are the 'degrees' with the exclamation marks ( !!! ). Is it like GH = ( ! ) and TH = ( !!! )?

This is just a visual indicator of how big is the share difficulty. One exclamation mark is used when the share is between 10 GH and 10 TH. Three exclamation marks are used when the share is difficulty 10 TH or more. For comparison, the current difficulty of ETH network is about 3100 TH.



Quote from: gsrcrxsi314 on April 11, 2018, 12:36:55 AM seems to be just the miner 2.8c version. been stable since the switch back to 2.8b

There are big changes in CUDA code in 2.9b so it will hopefully solve the problem. If not, we are planning to introduce a -nvf parameter for CUDA similar to the new -clf for AMD cards, that may help some GPUs to be stable.

just downloaded 2.9b and copied over my startup.bat but for some reason i am getting ID "0" in the mining pool overview instead of the worker name specified in the command.
