Description of messages in the PhoenixMiner window
How to understand the messages in the PhoenixMiner window? Share statistics, mining status, and working parameters.
What can you see in the miner window?
Information about the version of the installed graphics drivers on your PC.
List of installed graphics cards, which will be mining. Their manufacturers, models, PCIE bus number by operating system definition, supported CUDA (Nvidia) and OpenCL (AMD) libraries, amount of VRAM, and the number of computing units CU.
List of pools set for the miner, pool address, and port.
Brief information about driver initialization before mining. Error unable to set straps - unsupported GPU — says that the graphics card does not support the argument -straps.
Tells what way the connection to the proto: EthProxy pool is set.
A summary of the state of the graphics cards. Their temperature, power consumption, fan speeds, total consumption, and mining efficiency.
Reports on successful connection to the pool. Pool address, port, IP address.
The process of launching the mining. The ID of the received work, pool address, and difficulty of the shares on the pool (set by the pool). The process of DAG file generation, the amount of free memory of the graphics card, the time for which the DAG file is generated, and the epoch of the DAG file.
The total hashrate of all graphics cards, the ratio of all shares, and continuous running time where: 2666/22/18 - 2666 — total number of shares accepted by the pool of which; - 22 — rejected shares, often due to Internet connection or just late shares — someone solved the problem earlier. There is no way to get rid of them completely, but it is believed that the "norm" is 1-2% of the total number of all shares; - 18 — damaged, incorrect — these shares appear in case of overclocking, graphics card error, or memory failure. The graphics card calculates incorrectly (2+2=5).
Summary of the accepted shares for each graphics card. Here we see that the first graphics card (from point 2 — AMD RX 480 8Gb) processed 681/18. So of the 681 sent shares, 18 are incorrect — it is worth paying attention to this graphics card. Need to reduce overclocking or check graphics cards for errors. Card counts 2+2=5.
The Red line — always means wrong behavior or error. For example, the miner reports that the GPU1 graphics card (from point 2 — AMD RX 480 8Gb) sent another incorrect share. So there is clearly a problem with this graphics card.
A summary of the mining process: - The coin ETC is being mined on the pool etc.kryptex.network:7777 for 12 hours 18 minutes; - DAG file age 268, DAG file size 3.09 GB; - Summary of accepted, rejected, late, and incorrect shares; - The shares with the highest difficulty that was processed; - Average hashrate in 5-minute measurement, effective hashrate, and hashrate on the pool. The hashrate on the pool is usually always lower because the pool does not count at the hashrate but calculates the hashrate relative to successfully accepted shares. Rejected, late, and incorrect ones are not counted or paid for.
