PhoenixMiner: guía completa
Ten en cuenta que PhoenixMiner admite la mayoría de las opciones de línea de comandos del minero dual de Ethereum de Claymore
así que puedes usar las mismas opciones de línea de comandos que usarías con el minero de Claymore.
Opciones del pool:
-pool <host:port> Ethash pool address (prepend the host name with ssl:// for SSL pool, or http:// for solo mining)
-wal <wallet> Ethash wallet (some pools require appending of user name and/or worker)
-pass <password> Ethash password (most pools don't require it, use 'x' as password if unsure)
-worker <name> Ethash worker name (most pools accept it as part of wallet)
-proto <n> 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 <coin> Ethash coin to use for devfee to avoid switching DAGs:
auto: Try to determine from the pool address (default)

-dpass <password> Dual mining pool password (most pools don't require it, use 'x' as password if unsure)
-dworker <name> Dual mining worker name
-dcoin blake2s Currently only the Blake2s algorithm is supported for dual mining. If you want to put
all dual mining pools in dpools.txt, you need to set -dcoin blake2s in the command-line or in config.txt
to force the miner to load the dual mining pools from dpools.txt
-dstales <n> Submit stales to the dual mining pool: 1 - yes (default), 0 - no
Opciones generales del pool:
-fret <n> Switch to next pool afer N failed connection attempts (default: 3)
-ftimeout <n> Reconnect if no new ethash job is receved for n seconds (default: 600)
-ptimeout <n> Switch back to primary pool after n minutes. This setting is 30 minutes by default;
set to 0 to disable automatic switch back to primary pool.
-retrydelay <n> Seconds to wait before reconnecting (default: 20)
-gwtime <n> Recheck period for Solo/GetWork mining (default: 200 ms)
-rate <n> Report hashrate to the pool: 1 - yes, 0 - no (1 is the default), 2 - (for solo mining only)
use alternative name of the report method "eth_submitHashRate" instead of "eth_submitHashrate"
-nosni Do not send SNI host name on SSL connections
Modo benchmark:
-bench [<n>],-benchmark [<n>] Benchmark mode, optionally specify DAG epoch. Use this to test your rig.
If you specify only the -bench option, you will benchmark the ethash algorithm. If you want to bench
the dual mining, use the options -bench <n> -dcoin blake2s. If you want to benchmark the ProgPOW BCI
algorithm, use the options -bench <n> -coin bci
Opciones de control remoto:
-cdm <n> Selects the level of support of the CDM remote monitoring:
0: disabled
1: read-only - this is the default
2: full (only use on secure connections)
-cdmport <port> Set the CDM remote monitoring port (default is 3333). You can also specify
<ip_addr:port> if you have a secure VPN connection and want to bind the CDM port to it
-cdmpass <pass> Set the CDM remote monitoring password
-cdmrs Reload the settings if config.txt is edited/uploaded remotely. Note that most options require restart in order to change.
Currently the follwing options can be changed without restarting: -mi, -gt, -sci, -clf, -nvf, -gpow, and most of the
hardware control parameters (-tt, -fcm, -fanmin, -fanmax, -powlim, -tmax, -ttli, -cclock, -cvddc, -mclock,
-mvddc, -ppf, -straps, -vmt1, -vmt2, -vmt3, -vmr)
Opciones de minería:
-amd Use only AMD cards
-acm Turn on AMD compute mode on the supported GPUs. This is equivalent of pressing 'y' in the miner console.
-nvidia Use only Nvidia cards
-nvmalt Use alternative NVML initialization. Use this option if the program crashes or exits while showing Initializing NVML... on the console.
-gpus <123 ..n> Use only the specified GPUs (if more than 10, separate the indexes with comma)
-mi <n> Set the mining intensity (0 to 14; 12 is the default for the new kernels). You may specify this option per-GPU.
-gt <n> Set the GPU tuning parameter (6 to 400). The default is 15. You can change the
tuning parameter interactively with the '+' and '-' keys in the miner's console window.
If you don't specify -gt or you specify value 0, the miner will start auto-tuning to determine the best GT value for each GPU
Note that when the GPU is dual-mining, it ignores the -gt values, and uses -sci instead.
-sci <n> Set the dual mining intensity (1 to 1000). The default is 30. As you increase the value of -sci,
the secondary coin hashrate will increase but the price will be higher power consumption and/or
lower ethash hashrate.
You can change the this parameter interactively with the '+' and '-' keys in the miner
console window. You may specify this option per-GPU. If you set -sci to 0,
the miner will use auto-tuning to determine the best value, while trying to maximize the
ethash hashrate regardless of the secondary coin hashrate.
-clkernel <n> Type of OpenCL kernel: 0 - generic, 1 - optimized, 2 - alternative, 3 - turbo (1 is the default)
-clgreen <n> Use the power-efficient ("green") kernels (0: no, 1: yes; default: 0).
You may specify this option per-GPU. Note that you have to run auto-tune again as the
optimal GT values are completely different for the green kernels
-clnew <n> Use the new AMD kernels (0: no, 1: yes; default: 1)
-clabi <n> Use OpenCL 1.x even if 2.x is supported by the driver (0: no, 1: yes; default: 0)
-clf <n> AMD kernel sync (0: never, 1: periodic; 2: always; default: 1)
-nvkernel <n> Type of Nvidia kernel: 0 auto (default), 1 old (v1), 2 newer (v2), 3 latest (v3).
Note that v3 kernels are only supported on GTX10x0 GPUs. Also note that dual mining is
supported only by v2 kernels. You may specify this option per-GPU.
-nvdo <n> Enable Nvidia driver-specific optimizations (0 - no, the default; 1 - yes). Try -nvdo 1 if your
are unstable. You may specify this option per-GPU.
-nvnew <n> Use new Nvidia kernels if supported (0: no, 1: yes; default: 1)
-nvf <n> Nvidia kernel sync (0: never, 1: periodic; 2: always; 3: forced; default: 1). You may specify this option per-GPU.
-lhr <n> Nvidia LHR unlock (0: no, -1: automatic, 100-1000: unlock intensity; default: -1).
If this option is not specified (or specified as -1), the default LHR unlock intensity is 520. You may specify this option per-GPU.
-mode <n> Mining mode (0: dual mining if dual pool(s) are specified; 1: ethash only even if dual pools are specified).
You may specify this option per-GPU.
-list List the detected GPUs devices and exit
-gbase <n> Set the index of the first GPU (0 or 1, default: 1)
-minRigSpeed <n> Restart the miner if avg 5 min speed is below <n> MH/s
-eres <n> Allocate DAG buffers big enough for n epochs ahead (default: 2) to
avoid allocating new buffers on each DAG epoch switch, which should improve DAG switch stability
-daglim <n>
(AMD Polaris, Baffin, Tonga, or Fiji cards only) Limit the DAG size to <n> MB to allow mining on 4 GB cards a few weeks after epoch 373
on Windows (or 381 on Linux). The possible values except the exact DAG limit are also 0 (turn off the DAG limit), 1 (automatic DAG
limit size, usually 4023 MB under Windows; this is the default). Note that the hashrate will drop significantly with each epoch
after the DAG limit is in effect. If the hashrate drops too much (e.g. from 28 MH/s to just 2-3 MH/s, you need to use lower value,
for example "-daglim 3996" or even lower.
-dagrestart <n> Restart the miner when allocating buffer for a new DAG epoch. The
possible values are: 0 - never, 1 - always, 2 - auto (the miner decides depending on the driver version).
This is relevant for 4 GB AMD cards, which may have problems with new DAG epochs after epoch 350.
-lidag <n> Slow down DAG generation to avoid crashes when swiching DAG epochs
(0-3, default: 0 - fastest, 3 - slowest).
-gser <n> Serializing DAG creation on multiple GPUs (0 - no serializing, all GPUs generate the DAG simultaneously, this is the default;
1 - partial overlap of DAG generation on each GPU; 2 - no overalp (each GPU waits until the previous one has finished generating the DAG);
3-10 - from 1 to 8 seconds delay after each GPU DAG generation before the next one)
-gpureset <n> Fully reset GPU when paused (0 - no, 1 - yes; default: no, except on 1080Ti). You may specify this option per-GPU.
-altinit Use alternative way to initialize AMD cards to prevent startup crashes
-rvram <n> Minimum free VRAM in MB (-1: don't check; default: 384 for Windows, and 128 for Linux)
-wdog <n> Enable watchdog timer: 1 - yes, 0 - no (1 is the default). The watchdog timer checks
periodically if any of the GPUs freezes and if it does, restarts the miner (see the -rmode
command-line parameter for the restart modes)
-wdtimeout <n> Watchdog timeout (30 - 300; default 45 seconds). You can use this parameter to increase
the default watchdog timeout in case it restarts the miner needlessly
-rmode <n> Selects the restart mode when a GPU crashes or freezes:
0: disabled - miner will shut down instead of restarting
1: restart with the same command line options - this is the default
2: reboot (shut down miner and execute reboot.bat)
-log <n> Selects the log file mode:
0: disabled - no log file will be written
1: write log file but don't show debug messages on screen (default)
2: write log file and show debug messages on screen
-logfile <name> 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 end of the same file. If you
want to use the same logfile but the contents to be overwritten every time when you start the miner,
put a dollar sign ($) character in the logfile name (e.g. -logfile my_log.txt$).
-logdir <path> Set a path where the logfile(s) will be created
-logsmaxsize <n> Maximum size of the logfiles in MB. The default is 200 MB (use 0 to turn off the limitation).
On startup, if the logfiles are larger than the specified limit, the oldest are deleted. If you use a
single logfile (by using -logfile), then it is truncated if it is bigger than the limit and a new one
is created.
-config <name> Load a file with configuration options that will be added to the command-line options.
Note that the order is important. For example, if we have a config.txt file that contains -cclock 1000
and we specify command line -cclock 1100 -config config.txt, the options from the config.txt file will take
precedence and the resulting -cclock will be 1000. If the order is reversed (-config config.txt -cclock 1100)
then the second option takes precedence and the resulting -cclock will be 1100. Note that only one -config
option is allowed. Also note that if you reload the config file with 'c' key or with the remote interface,
its options will take precedence over whatever you have specified in the command-line.
-timeout <n> Restart miner according to -rmode after n minutes
-pauseat <hh:mm> Pause the miner at hh::mm (24 hours time). You can specify multiple times: -pauseat 6:00,12:00
-resumeat <hh:mm> Resume the miner at hh::mm (24 hours time). You can specify multiple times: -resumeat 8:00,22:00
-gswin <n> GPU stats time window (5-30 sec; default: 15; use 0 to revert to pre-2.8 way of showing momentary stats)
-gsi <n> Speed stats interval (5-30 sec; default: 5; use 0 to disable). The detailed stats are still
shown every 45 seconds and aren't affected by the -gsi value
-astats <n> Show advanced stats from Web sources (0: no; 1: yes). By default the coin exchange rates are updated every
4 hours, and the coin difficulty is updated every 8 hours. You can increase these periods by specifying
for example -astats 12, which will increase update periods to 12 and 24 hours respectively
-gpow <n> Lower the GPU usage to n% of maximum (default: 100). If you already use -mi 0 (or other low value) use -li instead
-li <n> Another way to lower the GPU usage. Bigger n values mean less GPU utilization; the default is 0.
-resetoc Reset the hardware overclocking settings on startup
-leaveoc Do not reset overclocking settings when closing the miner
Opciones de control del hardware (usa comas para indicar valores distintos para cada GPU):
-tt <n> Set fan control target temperature (special values: 0 - no HW monitoring on ALL cards,
1-4 - only monitoring on all cards with 30-120 seconds interval, negative - fixed fan speed at n %)
-ttj <n> Set fan control target hotspot (junction) temperature (can be used
only on GPUs that report the junction temperature). Example: -ttj 75 will keep the junction temperature at or bellow 75C by
increasing the fan speed as necessary. This parameter can be combined with -tt, and -ttmem
-ttmem <n> Set fan control target video memory temperature (can be used only
on GPUs that report the VRAM temperature). Example: -ttmem 83 will keep the GPU memory temperature at or
bellow 83C by increasing the fan speed as necessary. This parameter can be combined with -tt, and -ttj
-hstats <n> Level of hardware monitoring: 0 - temperature and fan speed only; 1 - temperature, fan speed, and power;
2 - full (include core/memory clocks, voltages, P-states). The default is 1.
-pidle <n> Idle power consumption of the rig in W. Will be added to the GPU power consumption when
calculating the total power consumption of the rig.
-ppf <n> The power usage of each GPU will be multiplied by this value to get the actual usage. This value is
in percent, so for example if the GPU reports 100 W power usage and you have specified -ppf 106 the GPU
power usage will be calculated to be 100 * (106 / 100) = 106 W. This allows you to correct for the efficiency
of the PSUs and the individual GPUs. You can also specify this value for each GPU separately.
-prate <n> Price of the electricity in USD per kWh (e.g. -prate 0.1). If specified the miner will calculate the
rig daily electricity cost
-fanmin <n> Set fan control min speed in % (-1 for default)
-fanmax <n> Set fan control max speed in % (-1 for default)
-fanstop <n> (AMD cards under Windows only) If set to 0 (the default), and a
fixed fan speed (e.g. -tt -40), or -fanmin is used, the miner will not allow the fans to stop rotating.
If set to 1, PhoenixMiner will not interfere in the fan stop function of the card.
-fcm <n> Set fan control mode (0 - auto, 1 - use VBIOS fan control, 2 - forced fan control; default: 0)
-tmax <n> Set fan control max temperature (0 for default)
-powlim <n> Set GPU power limit in % (from -75 to 75, 0 for default)
-cclock <n> Set GPU core clock in MHz (0 for default). For Nvidia cards use relative values (e.g. -300 or +400)
-cvddc <n> Set GPU core voltage in mV (0 for default). For Nvidia cards use relative values (e.g. -300 or +400)
-mclock <n> Set GPU memory clock in MHz (0 for default)
-mvddc <n> Set GPU memory voltage in mV (0 for default)
-tstop <n> Pause a GPU when temp is >= n deg C (0 for default; i.e. off)
-tstart <n> Resume a GPU when temp is <= n deg C (0 for default; i.e. off)
-mt <n> VRAM timings (AMD under Windows only): 0 - default VBIOS values; 1 - faster timings; 2 - fastest timings.
The default is 0. This is useful for mining with AMD cards without modding the VBIOS. If you have modded BIOS,
it is probably faster than even -mt 2
-leavemt Do not reset memory timing level ("-mt") to 0 when closing
-ttli <n> Lower GPU usage when GPU temperature is above n deg C. The default value is 0, which means do not lower the usage regardless of the
GPU temperature. This option is useful whenever -tmax is not working. If you are using both -tt and -ttli options, the
temperature in -tt should be lower than the -ttli to avoid throttling the GPUs without using the fans to properly cool them first.
-tmaxj <n> Lower GPU usage when hotspot (junction) temperature is above n deg C (can be used only on GPUs that report the junction temperature).
The default value is 0, which means do not lower the usage regardless of the GPU hotspot temperature. If you are using both
-ttj and -tmaxj options, the temperature in -ttj should be lower than the -tmaxj to avoid throttling the GPUs without using
the fans to properly cool them first.
-tmaxmem <n> Lower GPU usage when VRAM temperature is above n deg C (can be used only on GPUs that report the memory temperature).
The default value is 0, which means do not lower the usage regardless of the GPU memory temperature. If you are using both
-ttmem and -tmaxmem options, the temperature in -ttmem should be lower than the -tmaxmem to avoid throttling the GPUs
without using the fans to properly cool them first.
-straps <n> Memory strap level (Nvidia cards 10x0 and P10x series only). The possible values are 0 to 6. 0 is the default value and uses the default
timings from the VBIOS. Each strap level corresponds to a predefined combination of memory timings (-vmt1, -vmt2,
-vmt3, -vmr). Strap level 3 is the fastest predefined level and may not work on most cards, 1 is the slowest (but still faster than
the default timings). Strap levels 4 to 6 are the same as 1 to 3 but with less aggressive refresh rates (i.e. lower "-vmr" values).
-straps <n> Memory strap level (AMD Vega cards only). The possible values are 0 to 5. 0 is the default value and uses the default timings from the
VBIOS. Each strap level corresponds to a predefined combination of memory timings. Strap level 5 is the fastest level and may not work
on most cards, 1 is the slowest (but still faster than the default timings). Note that straps for AMD cards are experimental and may
lead to crashes or instability. "-vmt1", "-vmt2", and "-vmt3" parameters have no effect on AMD cards
-vmt1 <n> Memory timing parameter 1 (0 to 100, default 0)
-vmt2 <n> Memory timing parameter 2 (0 to 100, default 0)
-vmt3 <n> Memory timing parameter 3 (0 to 100, default 0)
-vmr <n> Memory refresh rate (0 to 100, default 0). For AMD cards you may also use "-rxboost"
-nvmem <n> Force using straps on unsupported Nvidia GPUs (0 - do not force, 1 - GDDR5, 2 - GDDR5X). Make sure that the parameter matches your GPU
memory type. You can try this if your card is Pascal-based but when you try to use -straps or any other memory timing option, the card
is shown as "unsupported".
-rxboost <n> Memory refresh rate on AMD cards (0 - default values, 1 - predefined value that should work on most cards, 2 to 100 -
increasingly aggressive settings). If you want to fine tune the value, you may run the miner with "-rxboost 1", write down the
corresponding "-vmr" values that are showed in the log file, and then use "-vmr" instead with adjusted values.
-vmdag <n> Reset straps to default during DAG generation (default: 1)
-mcdag <n> Reset GPU memory clock to default during DAG generation. Nvidia
only, default: 0 (turned off). This may allow you to set higher memory overclock on your Nvidia cards without risking corrupt DAG
buffer, which can lead to excessive number of stale shares.
Under Linux this option will execute the daggen.sh script (if present in the current directory) for each GPU, passing the GPU
index as the first argument, and PCIE bus ID as second argument. The miner will not wait for the daggen.sh script to finish before
starting to generate the DAGs. Instead it will for a fixed 7 seconds. This allows you to do all the following in the
daggen.sh: turn off the overclocking of Nvidia GPUs, sleep for 30-60 seconds, and then re-apply the overclocking of the Nvidia GPUs.
Opciones generales:
-v,--version Show the version and exit -vs Show short version string (e.g. "4.1c") and exit -h,--help Show information about the command-line options and exit
Opciones por GPU
Algunas opciones de PhoenixMiner pueden aplicar el mismo valor a todas las GPU o un valor
distinto para cada GPU. Por ejemplo, para indicar el valor de -gt para todas las tarjetas escribirías
-gt 90, pero si quieres indicar un valor de GT distinto para cada tarjeta, usa algo como esto:
-gt 20,15,40,90,90 para un rig de cinco GPU. Esto fija GT en 20 para la primera GPU, 15 para la segunda
GPU, y así sucesivamente. Si indicas menos valores que GPU tienes, el resto de las GPU usarán el valor
predeterminado del parámetro.
También puedes usar otra forma, más flexible, de indicar valores distintos para las distintas tarjetas.
Se entiende mejor con un ejemplo: -cclock *:1100,1-3:1090,4:1300 - aquí fijamos la frecuencia del núcleo
en 1100 MHz para todas las tarjetas, excepto las tarjetas 1 a 3, que quedan en 1090 MHz, y la tarjeta 4, en 1300 MHz.
La parte antes de los dos puntos (:) es el selector, que elige las GPU a las que se aplica el valor que va después de los dos puntos. El selector puede ser:
- single GPU index: e.g. 5:1000 sets 1000 for the 5th GPU
- range of GPU indexes: e.g 2-5:1200 sets 1200 for the GPUs 2,3,4, and 5
- asterisk, which sets the value for all GPUs
- label amd or nvidia: e.g. amd:1090 sets the value to 1090 for all AMD cards
- arbitrary string that starts with letter and can contain letters, numbers and asterisks,
which is matched with the GPU name as listed by PhoenixMiner. Example: gtx*1070:+500 will
set value +500 for all cards which contain 'gtx' and '1070' in their names with anything
between them. This will match 'Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070' but not 'Nvidia GeForce 1070'.
Ten en cuenta que si más de un selector coincide con una tarjeta, solo cuenta el último.
Ejemplo: -cclock *:1100,1-4:1090,2:1300 fijará la tarjeta 2 en 1300; las tarjetas 1, 3 y 4 en 1090;
y el resto de las tarjetas en 1100 MHz de frecuencia del núcleo.
Además, mientras el minero está funcionando, puedes usar los siguientes comandos interactivos
en la ventana de la consola pulsando una de estas teclas:
s Print detailed statistics 1-9 Pause/resume GPU1 ... GPU9 (if you have more than 9 GPUs, type 010 for card 10, 011 for card 11, etc.) p Pause/resume the whole miner +,- Increase/decrease GPU tuning parameter g Reset the GPU tuning parameter (and stop auto-tuning if active) x Select the GPU(s) for manual or automatic GT tuning z Start AMD auto-tune process r Reload epools.txt and switch to primary ethash pool e Select the current ethash pool (if you have more than 9 pools in the list, type 010 for pool 10, 011 for pool 11, etc.) d Select the current dual-mining pool y Turn on AMD Compute mode if it is off on some of the GPUs c Reload the config.txt file (some settings require restart, see -cdmrs option above for details) h Print this short help
Archivos de configuración
Ten en cuenta que PhoenixMiner admite los mismos archivos de configuración que el minero dual de Ethereum de Claymore,
así que puedes usar tus archivos de configuración actuales sin ningún cambio.
En lugar de usar opciones de línea de comandos, también puedes controlar PhoenixMiner con archivos
de configuración. Si ejecutas PhoenixMiner.exe sin ninguna opción, buscará el archivo config.txt
en el directorio actual y leerá de él las opciones de línea de comandos. Si quieres, puedes
usar un archivo con otro nombre indicándolo como única opción de línea de comandos
al ejecutar PhoenixMiner.exe.
Encontrarás un archivo config.txt de ejemplo en el directorio de PhoenixMiner.
En lugar de indicar los pools directamente en la línea de comandos, puedes usar otro archivo de
configuración para esto, llamado epools.txt. Ahí puedes indicar un pool por línea (encontrarás un archivo
epools.txt de ejemplo en el directorio de PhoenixMiner).
Para los pools de minería dual, puedes usar el archivo dpools.txt, que tiene el mismo formato que epools.txt,
pero para la moneda secundaria. Encontrarás un archivo epools.txt de ejemplo en el directorio de PhoenixMiner.
Ten en cuenta que, a diferencia de epools.txt, que se carga cada vez que arranca el minero, el archivo dpools.txt
solo se lee si indicas un pool de minería dual en la línea de comandos con -dpool, o si al menos añades
la opción de línea de comandos -dcoin blake2s.
Las ventajas de usar los archivos config.txt y epools.txt/dpools.txt son:
- Si tienes varios rigs, puedes copiar y pegar toda la configuración con estos archivos
- Si administras tus rigs de forma remota, puedes cambiar los pools e incluso las opciones del minero
subiendo nuevos archivos epools.txt al minero, o subiendo un nuevo archivo config.txt y reiniciando
el minero.
Monitoreo y administración remotos
PhoenixMiner es totalmente compatible con el protocolo del minero dual de Claymore para el monitoreo y
la administración remotos. Esto significa que puedes usar cualquier herramienta creada para el minero dual de Claymore,
incluida la aplicación "Remote manager" que viene en el paquete del minero dual de Claymore.
Estamos trabajando en funciones de monitoreo y control remotos mucho más potentes y seguras, y en
una aplicación de centro de control que permitirá controlar mejor tus rigs remotos o locales, con algunas
funciones únicas para aumentar tus ganancias de minería.
Opciones de control del hardware
Algunas notas importantes sobre las opciones de control del hardware:
La mayoría de los controladores Nvidia recientes requieren ejecutar como administrador (o como root en Linux) para permitir el control del hardware, así que debes ejecutar
PhoenixMiner as administrator for the VRAM timing options to work.
Al usar las opciones de timings de VRAM ("-straps", "-vmt1", "-vmt2", "-vmt3", "-vmr"), empieza con valores bajos y asegúrate de que las
cards are stable before trying higher and more aggressive settings. You can use "-straps" along with the other options. For example "-straps 1" "-vmt1 60" will use the timings from 1st strap level but -vmt1 will be set to 60 instead of whatever value is specified by the 1st strap level. In such case the "-straps" option must be specified first.
En general, la opción "-vmt3" influye poco en el hashrate, así que primero prueba a ajustar los demás parámetros.
Los valores óptimos de timings de VRAM pueden variar bastante entre GPU, incluso del mismo modelo. Por eso puedes (y
probably should) specify the VRAM timing options per-GPU.
En Windows, las opciones de control del hardware funcionan con tarjetas AMD y Nvidia. En Linux, la mayoría de las opciones solo funcionan con tarjetas AMD.
Si indicas un solo valor (p. ej., -cvddc 1150), se usará en todas las tarjetas. Indica valores distintos para cada tarjeta así (separados por comas): -cvddc 1100,1100,1150,1120,1090 Si hay menos valores que GPU, el resto de las GPU usarán los valores predeterminados.
Solo lo hemos probado en GPU AMD relativamente recientes (RX460/470/480/560/570/580, Vega, Radeon VII, RX5700). Con GPU más antiguas, los resultados pueden variar.
Los controladores beta blockchain de AMD dan resultados bastante inestables: a menudo los voltajes no se aplican en absoluto o vuelven a los valores predeterminados al cabo de un tiempo. Para obtener mejores resultados, usa los controladores más nuevos de AMD: 18.5.1 o posteriores, donde la mayoría de los errores están corregidos.
-tmax indica la temperatura a la que la GPU debe empezar a reducir su rendimiento (porque los ventiladores ya no dan abasto).
Si usas otros programas para controlar el hardware, es posible (y bastante probable) que haya conflictos. Usa algo como GPU-Z para monitorear los voltajes, etc. MSI Afterburner también parece funcionar bien (así que puedes usarlo para controlar las tarjetas Nvidia mientras PhoenixMiner controla las tarjetas AMD).
Debería ser obvio, pero aun así: si ciertas frecuencias/voltajes provocan caídas, congelamientos o shares incorrectos cuando los configuras con un programa de terceros, serán igual de inestables si los configuras con las opciones de control del hardware de PhoenixMiner.
Si tienes problemas con las opciones de control del hardware de PhoenixMiner y antes usabas otra herramienta para controlar frecuencias, ventiladores y voltajes (MSI Aftrerburner, OverdriveNTool, etc.) con la que estabas conforme, probablemente lo mejor sea seguir usándola e ignorar las opciones de control del hardware de PhoenixMiner (o usar solo algunas y seguir ajustando el resto con tus herramientas de terceros).
Preguntas frecuentes
Q001: ¿Por qué otro minero más?
A: We feel that the competition is good for the end user. In the first releases of PhoenixMiner we focused on the basic features and on the mining speed but we are now working on making our miner easier to use and even faster.
Q002: ¿Puedo ejecutar varias instancias de PhoenixMiner en el mismo rig?
A: Yes, but make sure that each GPU is used by a single miner (use the -gpus, -amd, or -nvidia
command-line options to limit the GPUs that given instance of PhoenixMiner actually uses).
Another possible problem is that all instances will use the default CDM remote port 3333,
which will prevent proper remote control for all but the first instance. To fix this problem,
use the -cdmport command-line option to change the CDM remote port form its default value.
Q003: ¿Puedo ejecutar PhoenixMiner a la vez que otros mineros en el mismo rig?
A: Yes, but see the answer to the previous question for how to avoid problems.
Q004: ¿Qué es un share obsoleto (stale)?
A: The ethash coins usually have very small average block time (15 seconds in most instances). On the other hand, to achieve high mining speed we must keep the GPUs busy so we can't switch the current job too often. If our rigs finds a share just after the someone else has found a solution for the current block, our share is a stale share. Ideally, the stale shares should be minimal as same pools do not give any reward for stale shares, and even these that do reward stale shares, give only partial reward for these shares. If the share is submitted too long after the block has ended, the pool may even fully reject it.
Q005: ¿Por qué el porcentaje de shares obsoletos que muestra PhoenixMiner es menor que el que muestra
el pool?
A: PhoenixMiner can only detect the stale shares that were discovered after it has received a new job (i.e. the "very stale") shares. There is additional latency in the pool itself, and in the network connection, which makes a share stale even if it was technically found before the end of the block from the miner's point of view. As pools only reports the shares as accepted or rejected, there is no way for the miner to determine the stale shares from the pool's point of view.
Q006: ¿Qué significa la "actual share difficulty" que muestra PhoenixMiner cuando se encuentra
un share?
A: It allows you to see how close you were to finding an actual block (a rare event these days for the most miners with reasonable-sized mining rigs). You can find the current difficulty for given coin on sites like whattomine.com and then check to see if you have exceeded it with your maximum share difficulty. If you did, you have found a block (which is what the mining is all about).
Q007: ¿Qué significa la "effective speed" que aparece en las estadísticas de PhoenixMiner?
A: This is a measure of the actually found shares, which determines how the pool sees your miner hashrate. This number should be close to the average hashrate of your rig (usually a 2-4% lower than it) depending you your current luck in finding shares. This statistic is meaningless in the first few hours after the miner is started and will level off to the real value with time.
Q008: ¿Por qué el hashrate efectivo que muestra el pool es menor que el que muestra PhoenixMiner?
A: There are two reasons for this: stale shares and luck. The stale shares are rewarded at only about 50-70% by most pools. The luck factor should level itself off over time but it may take a few days before it does. If your effective hashrate reported by the pool is consistently lower than the hashrate of your rig by more than 5-7% than you should look at the number of stale shares and the average share acceptance time - if it is higher than 100 ms, try to find a pool that is near to you geographically to lower the network latency. You can also restart your rig, or try another pool.
Solución de problemas
P001: Uso una AMD RX470/480/570/580 o una tarjeta similar y mi hashrate cayó mucho en los últimos
meses en Ethereum y Ethereum Classic.
S: This is known problem with some cards. For the newer cards (RX470/480/570/580), this can be
solved by using the special blockchain driver from AMD (or try the latest drivers, they may
incorporate the fix). For the older cards there is no workaround but you still can mine EXP,
Musicoin, UBQ or PIRL with the same speed that you mined ETH before the drop.
P002: Mi tarjeta Nvidia GTX9x0 muestra un hashrate muy bajo en Windows 10.
S: While there is a (convoluted) workaround, the best solution is to avoid Windows 10
for these cards - use Windows 7 instead.
P003: Uso una Nvidia GTX970 (o una tarjeta similar) y mi hashrate cayó drásticamente en Ethereum o
Ethereum Classic.
S: GTX970 has enough VRAM for larger DAGs but its hashate drops when the DAG size starts
to exceed 2 GB or so. Unlike the AMD Polaris-based cards, there is no workaround for this
problem. We recommend using these cards to mine EXP, Musicoin, UBQ or PIRL with the same speed
that you used to ETH before the drop.
P004: No veo algunas de mis tarjetas (o su velocidad de ventilador y temperatura) cuando uso el Escritorio remoto de Windows (RDP).
S: This is a known problem with RDP. Use VNC or TeamViewer instead.
P005: En Windows 10, si haces clic dentro de la consola de PhoenixMiner, se congela.
S: This is a known problem on Windows 10, related to so called "Quick Edit" feature of the command
prompt window. From PhoenixMiner 2.6, the QuickMode is disabled by default, so you shouldn't experience
this problem. If you still, do, read here how to solve it: https://stackoverflow.com/q/33883530
P006: Justo después de arrancar, PhoenixMiner deja de funcionar y el último mensaje es "debugger detected"
S: If you have only Nvidia cards, add the option -nvidia to the PhoenixMiner.exe command line.
If you have only AMD cards, add the option -amd to the command line.
P007: PhoenixMiner muestra un error después de reservar el búfer del DAG y se cierra.
S: If you have more than one GPU, make sure that your Windows page file minimal size is set to at
least (N x DS + 4) GB, where N is the number of GPUs, and DS is the size of DAG in GB (about 2.9 GB around
January 2019 for ETC and ETH). For example, if you have 10 GPUs, you need 10 x 2.9 + 4 = 33 GB minimal
size of the page file. Note that this will increase as the DAG sizes increase. If you are using -clkernel 3, for each GPU add size of
the DAG twice instead of once (e.g. for 3 GPUs mining with -clkenel 3 you will need 3 x 2 x 2.9 + 4 = 21.4 GB minimal page file size)
P008: El minero a veces se cae cuando cambia la época del DAG.
S: During DAG generation, the GPUs are loaded more than during the normal operation. If you have
overclocked or undervolted the GPUs "to the edge", the DAG generation ofter pushes them "over the
edge". Another possible reason for the crash (especially if the whole rig crashes) is the higher
power usage during this process. You can lower the DAG generation speed by specifying the -lidag
command-line option. The possible values are 0 (no slow down), 1, 2, and 3 (max slowdown).
In order to check if your rig would be stable during DAG generation, run it in benchmark mode
by specifying the -bench 210 command line option. Then every time when you press the key 'd'
the miner will advance to the next DAG epoch, and you will be able to see if it is stable during
multiple DAG generations. If it isn't you can try to alter the -lidag and -eres command line options
until the desired stability is achieved.
P009: El minero no puede crear el búfer del DAG al minar ETC o ETH
S: The versions of PhoenixMiner before 4.2 only support DAG epoch up to 265. Both ETC and ETH has reached epoch 266 already. To ensure uninterrupted operation, please upgrade to 4.2.
PhoenixMiner 4.2 supports DAG epoch up to 330, and PhoenixMiner 4.5 supports DAG epoch up to 450.
