Title: PhoenixMiner 4.1c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
Post by: James Bond on January 30, 2019, 08:45:17 PM
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:
https://mega.nz/#!aHYAGKqJ!ahAwZsZvr-UbOB1mQKbzxZaxw6sT8WHU66hMLKISnFI (https://mega.nz/#!aHYAGKqJ!ahAwZsZvr-UbOB1mQKbzxZaxw6sT8WHU66hMLKISnFI)

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 “turbo” kernels (-clkernel 3) for AMD 470/480/570/580 GPUs. These are usually faster than normal kernels (-clkernel 1 or -clkernel 2) but require double the amount of VRAM. This means that you can only use them on 8 GB cards if mining ETH or ETC. You can use them on cards with 4 GB or less VRAM only if you are mining low DAG epoch coins.
Added Blake2s dual mining kernels, and green kernels for AMD Fury GPUs
Added Blake2s dual mining kernels for AMD 280/285/290/380/390 GPUs
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 miner. Example: -resumeat 22:00 -pauseat 6:00 - the miner will 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.
(Windows only) The miner now prevents the computer from sleeping if the mining is not paused, and wakes the computer when it must resume mining at the time specified with -resumeat command-line option. In combination with -pauseat and -resumeat options this allows you to mine only when the electricity rates are lower and to keep your rig(s) asleep the rest of the time.
When the miner is paused for more than a few minutes, the pool is disconnected. The pool connection is restored when the mining is resumed.
Added a watchdog protection against freezing of the network connection thread
Automatic selection of compatible devfee coin if there isn’t enough VRAM to mine ETH and the main coin can’t be recognized or isn’t supported for devfee
Automatic switch to the next pool if the cards VRAM is not enough for the requited DAG epoch. This is especially useful if the pool is auto-switching the coins but your cards only support lower DAG epoch coins.
Added a -rvram option to set the minimal reserved VRAM that can’t be used for mining. The default values are 384 MB on Windows, and 128 MB on Linux. You can also set -rvram -1 if you want to turn off the protection against using too much VRAM.
Added command-line option -vs to just print the version (e.g. 4.1c) and exit
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 older maps with enough VRAM
Highly optimized OpenCL and CUDA cores for maximum production speed
The lowest development fee is 0.65% (35 seconds yields production for every 90 minutes)
Advanced statistics: the actual complexity of each stock, as well as an effective hash-hat in the pool
Generate DAG files in the GPU for faster startup and DAG epoxy switches
Supports all pools in the etash mining area and stratum protocols
Support for secure connections to the pool (for example, ssl: //eu1.ethermine.org 1: 5555) to prevent attacks using IP attacks
Detailed statistics, including individual hash hash cards, shares, temperature and fan speed
Unlimited number of failover pools in the epools.txt configuration file (or two on the command line)
Configure the GPU for AMD GPUs to achieve maximum performance with your installation
Support for devfee in alternative floor currencies, such as ETC, EXP, Music, UBQ, Pirl, Ellaism and Metaverse ETP. This allows you to use old cards with little VRAM or low hashing in current DAG epochs (for example, GTX970).
Full compatibility with the industry standard Claymore Dual Ethereum, including most command line parameters,
configuration files and remote monitoring and management.
Profitable to mine ETH, yields capacities by 10% more than similar miners

I used to mine with claymore, but I gived a try to Phoenix :

My 7 GTX1060 rig give me 167 Mhs with claymore, with phoenix 170!

When added to that the lower costs Phoenix is the big winner!
