    PSA: PhoenixMiner has responded to the nonsense

    Posted: 07 Mar 2021 08:26 PM PST

    Hey everyone, figured I'd let you know in case you weren't refreshing the bitcointalk announcement like I was that PhoenixMiner is active and has responded. Here's the text

    author=PhoenixMiner link=topic=2647654.msg56514824#msg56514824 date=1615177257]

    [b]The rumors of our demise (or our tuning into bad guys) are completely false.[/b] Here is what has happened:

    Sometime yesterday MEGA decided to terminate our account, and the accounts of some other prominent crypto mining software authors (e.g. Clyamore) for "violation of our terms of service". We didn't receive any further information about this violation, so it is safe to assume that someone in high places has put pressure to MEGA to delete the most popular mining software from their site. It is partially our fault that we believed their statement that they are "censor-resistant" but we have learned our lesson and we are currently setting up several independent hosting solutions in case anything similar happens in the future.

    1. Our bitcointalk.org account is safe and secure and we have full control over it. The latest released version remains PhoenixMiner 5.5c with the following checksums:

    [code]

    File: PhoenixMiner_5.5c_Windows.zip

    SHA-1: 9a3efe6130ba21ab2ade9df38ff9d52a539d9693

    SHA-256: 0bb20989cd107c6b65d08da30f014df0b3cb94f8124253e2caee1dfa99431c2d

    File: PhoenixMiner_5.5c_Linux.tar.gz

    SHA-1: 43bc9221582c8e90188fb1b416df14a8259d5b4e

    SHA-256: 66914e1b5011c35cf6af3f0d3e7540f5fa1bbe1563105fd242a67a96437b8e69

    SHA-512: 1088fcfd06b1bf63a3ab0d92089504b37e634bc138290c432797594ed25d37f8e5a658cf4124b6bb4495592b2b90f89bf0a68d03f51ce97e61b69efbe0667943

    [/code]

    Here are the checksums of the individual executable files in case you don't have the original zip archive (these are all SHA-256 sums):

    [code]ad20e44954960278ad965b05e8c67d9d314c200809b99b1b5a219a916ce06b21 *IOMap64.sys

    And these are the SHA-512 checksums of the same files:

    [code]0d8597b79a2615059f0bdd1fd0c2207b0bd96dac29b27af5f6af1bfbf003ceeed984a7bad54e2c917ffb5d9738229a8c0d52972c4caf69e353406c2068c000fd *EIO.dll

    60a230568445bcbfc9c638cb672d55b79febeede23b64620cf5a8a32b6ae6a78dc7878dc95d6a5008cfffec5a6ad47c6e48ea8321887e2f19eeff3bcf7436194 *EIO.exe

    cf78d162ef4ecf88bbfd4a460471d2ddd8faa505d24cc7c671ad27ba482c9b82b256fb5e5c2c44a8a666a2acbdfe78def303636aa1a92cab29718ce265a536db *PhoenixMiner.exe[/code]

    3. We are working on the next release of PhoenixMiner.

    4. The blog post of Nicehash is pure FUD and the only factual thing there is that our MEGA account is terminated. We will give them the benefit of doubt and assume that they are motivated out of abundance of caution for their customers.

    Hopefully it's legit

    MSI RX 570 8 GB Low Hash Rate

    Posted: 08 Mar 2021 04:30 AM PST

    Currently running in HiveOS:

    Core Clock: 1150
    Core Voltage: 900
    Memory Clock: 950

    Hash Rate: 13 Mh/s

    If I try to increase my memory clock, it crashes. Tried small and large increments - both won't change anything.
    Am thinking it might be a driver issue? Do I need to flash a BIOS?

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    OC setting for reduced noise 3080

    Posted: 08 Mar 2021 04:04 AM PST

    So I sleep in the same room as my PC and was wondering if anyone can suggest some settings which can reduce the noise from the fans.

    I am obviously willing to sacrifice perfomance at nights but at the same time im pretty new to this and dont have much of an idea on how it works.

    Thanks!!

    Posted: 08 Mar 2021 02:40 AM PST

    Hello, Im wondering if the i3 6100 cpu can be compatible with the motherboard. I've seen the cpu support list from the website of the motherboard. Just to make sure its compatible. This is the only cpu I can find thats available at somewhat a low price.

    Last straw with Nicehash

    Posted: 08 Mar 2021 07:50 AM PST

    Nicehash proceeded to freak out a bunch of people about phoenixminer to push their own software. All of their posts lacked detailed about any potential risk. I'm never using them again.

    New mining rig. Win10 vs HiveOS, and should I return the bios mod to stock before moving?

    Posted: 08 Mar 2021 07:40 AM PST

    I have a 5700xt on my personal PC along with a 1660TI. I bought a mobo+cpu that I plan to use as a start to a mining rig so it can operate 24/7. Before moving the 5700xt to its new home I have 2 questions:

    • Should I install win10 on this new mining rig or should I move to a new OS like hiveOS? I'm fairly tech savy but never used linux so any tutorial videos would be useful
    • I did bios mod my 5700xt (followed this guide https://youtu.be/dzDPe3YuIx4) + OC and its working great. Before I take it of my system and place it in the new rig (being it win10 or hiveOS) should I return it to its stock values before, or is it fine as is?

    Thank you in advance for your time and any help you could provide

    Server PSU in dorm room

    Posted: 08 Mar 2021 02:48 AM PST

    Would I be able to use a server PSU in my dorm room? I currently have an ATX and would like to get another but I noticed server PSUs are way cheaper.

    I watched a video and it seems like these server PSUs are really loud, in a really annoying high pitched way. I don't think there's any chance I could keep one normally in my small room and not drive myself and others around me crazy. But I heard that if you keep the load under 70% the fans don't ramp up. Would this be as quiet as an ATX then?

    I would really appreciate if someone could give a comparison between an ATX and a server PSU running under 70% load!

    Got a spare computer with a RX 580 8GB in it that is mining some coin. Questions about adding a 2nd card to it

    Posted: 08 Mar 2021 05:29 AM PST

    Hey everyone,

    New miner here. Just started recently on my RX 580 8GB that's running on a Ryzen 5 3600.

    If I get a 4GB RX 580, can I put the card in the x16 slot and use lolminer to get the full hashrate while at the same time using my 8GB card in the x1 slot?

    I have an option to buy another RX 580 (4GB though) or a RX 480 (8GB). Are 8GB cards going to "age well" in the gpu/crypto market?

    Invalid Shares & M2 slots

    Posted: 08 Mar 2021 05:24 AM PST

    MB - MSi MPG z390

    GPU - MSI Armor 8 GB rx 580 (6GPUS work)

    (7 works with invalid shares)

    (8 boots but doesnt start/post)

    I've recently tried adding my 7th and 8th GPU to my mother board because i have plenty of power and I've read that the M2_1 and M2_2 slots can be used to connect more than 6 GPUS. Im able to get one of the M2 slots to work at a time but never both. When I have GPUs plugged into both M2 slots at the same time Hive boots but never starts posting.

    Thats one issue, the other is when it runs properly, the 7th GPU spits out about 50-60 invalid shares a night. Is this an issue with the GPU settings, or is my problem in the M2 slots on the motherboard.

    If its the GPU settings, I'm not sure how to tweak them since any remedies I've seen so far seems to be with Windows and not Hive.

    My Phoenixminer (.org) version analysis

    Posted: 07 Mar 2021 01:05 PM PST

    Important Notice: Below is just my opinion, do not use it as advice, you need to make sure you do the right things to protect your assets. This is not related to NiceHash as they have not been very transparent with what they actually did. You also have to look at any miner through a critical lens, I am not saying Phoenix Miner is legit but I do believe it's no less legit than it was 2 weeks ago+. If NiceHash did accidentally load this version, maybe this will help. Maybe they know something we don't know that's unrelated.

    I wanted to share my findings with regards to Phoenixminer (.org) which for those that don't know, is not the official miner site.

    I downloaded it in early Feb and used it. Thankfully I noticed a DEV Fee which got me to research. Turns out the dev fee is totally normal. In my research I did find out that the .org site is not the legitimate site to download the miner. I use HiveOn Pool and used their config file and switched out my address and mined for about 2 weeks. Didn't lose coins, got paid out, no issues with the miner.

    I have since switched and simply removed the .org version. With the recent publication from NH, I decided I better do some digging.

    I compared the .org version from Feb (I still had the ZIP file), the .org version from today, and the legit release from mid Feb.

    Obviously the zip file SHA1 didn't match but that's because the .org version adds in a bunch of preconfigured batch files. But the .exe (the part that really matters) all matched just fine. All the other folder contents looked completely normal as well. The only difference is the dpool and epool file is configured and all the pool batch files are pre configured.

    The dpool file is used if dual mining and the epool is used for switching pools without restarting the miner. My guess is the epools kicks in if you lose connection with your current pool. When mining 24/7 I am sure this happens here or there and when it does, you start mining the next entry in the epools file. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong on this. It seems between the two version of .org that I have, the address is changed. My guess is they change this daily or weekly in their download package. But if you look at the current address. It's running at a pretty nice clip - (for those that might read this later and not be able to see below, it's running right now at around 800MH/s).

    https://ethermine.org/miners/E9b0db35b769be1eFc17c9BbC331d0731D1b09a6/dashboard

    I don't think a ton of people are dual mining coins but the dpool file is also configured and has had payouts to the address - see below for reference (can't remember if this was the early feb .org or todays version):

    https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1Pz3EcHsRuJkraNRACUrBrLaxiTPP1VHJZ

    The .org version has also preconfigured all the different pool files with their wallet and they are banking on someone not knowing they need to swap out their wallet address. You would think, who could be so dumb...well I checked those address on the different pools and it clearly works. You can see the hashrates for the worker are all over the place (I am sure as people figure this out). You can see payments made to the address and money moving around. It's not like they are making bank on this method, but enough to make it worth while.

    Here is the ETH Address (feel free to look it up on Ethermine/HiveOn etc as there is some activity even right now):
    https://etherscan.io/address/0xBB942274AB3C8285400519e7F0c343Fca2394908

    So again, I am not saying PhoenixMiner is legit itself, that's up for debate about any miner. But I do think the .org version of PhoenixMiner is not something you need to worry about if you accidentally used it. I feel that the legit release and the .org release are both the same, so long as you use properly configured batch files and remove or reconfigure the dpool/epool files. If you have a lot of valuable items on your computer and want peace of mind, then re-install windows.

    Hopefully this helps clear the air for people.

    EIP-1559 expected pool implementation vs reality

    Posted: 07 Mar 2021 08:02 PM PST

    I was just reviewing the latest Ethereum network stats. As I figure, over 65% of the total Ethereum network hashrate DOES NOT support EIP-1559.

    Aside from from the ramifications of Forking Eth now that DeFi is implemented. Is it feasible that these mining pools will band together and not implement the change?

    If these pools are forced into implementation, what are your plans to do with your hashpower after the devs attempt implementation?
