0 -> hey everyone welcome back to another mining
chamber video in today's video we are going
3.36 -> to go over phoenix miner talk about how
much the fees are and how to use it and
7.36 -> all the different commands that you can
make use of you'll be able to use this
10.32 -> tutorial whether you're going to use phoenix
miner in windows 10 or you're going to use
14.16 -> it on a linux based mining operating system
all the commands remain the same across all
18.88 -> platforms so after watching this video
hopefully you'll be all set and you'll
22.32 -> be ready to use phoenix miner without any
confusion i hope you guys enjoyed this video
36.96 -> now before i start the video i first want to tell
you guys thank you so much for helping me reach 20
41.44 -> 000 subscribers you guys are awesome and there are
still some winners from last time's giveaway that
46.32 -> still did not reach out to me so please if you
see this video and you're one of these winners
50.72 -> please reach back to me on my email so canon at
miningchamber.com now let's go ahead and jump into
56.72 -> the video so this video will be about phoenix
miner and the first thing we want to start at
61.28 -> is what is phoenix miner and what can you use
it for so fenix miner is the miner that can be
66.4 -> run on windows 10 and it's also run on most of the
linux mining operating systems you can just select
71.44 -> it and run it on there and it's mainly for ether
algorithm coins so you can use it to mine ether
76.88 -> coins with either amd or nvidia cards and it also
supports some other algorithms and as for the fee
83.2 -> for phoenix miner it runs for a 0.65 fee so as it
shows in the introduction for the phoenix miner
89.36 -> every 90 minutes that you mine the developers get
35 seconds which is not bad at all it's pretty low
94.96 -> amount of fee now to start mining using fenix
miner initially i thought you have to install
99.6 -> it from phoenixminer.org at least that's what
i have been doing for the longest time but it
104.08 -> turned out that phoenixminer.org is not affiliated
with the original phoenix miner the original team
109.68 -> behind phoenix miner only has it on bitcointalk
so you'll find the forum on bitcointalk that has
114.88 -> the original installation for phoenix miner i will
leave the links for that in the descriptions below
119.6 -> as well and then once you go down here you'll
find that there is a mega link that will take
123.52 -> you to this folder right here which then you can
install it for whether windows or linux and then
128.32 -> from there you're good to go now after downloading
phoenix miner and extracting the files you will
133.04 -> end up with a folder looking something like this
so you'll have all these different files here
137.2 -> as well as the readme so now what i want to do
is i want to go through the important files that
141.28 -> you guys need to know so the first thing we have
here is dock and in dock you will find different
145.92 -> documentation regarding to phoenix miner so we
will go through this in a little bit but now
151.04 -> let's go back to the main folder and then you also
have phoenix miner this is your main miner this
156.08 -> is where everything is running and then to run
this phoenix miner you'll need to link through it
160.56 -> through a bat file so in this scenario we have the
startminer bat file which is just a batch windows
166.56 -> file that runs a command and as you guys can see
here they have two pre-made ones one is start
171.68 -> minor and then the other one is start minor etc
you don't need to use any of these you can make
176.16 -> your own as well you can just name it star.bat but
for this video to make it simpler for you guys you
180.88 -> can just use what you have on hand and then i'll
tell you guys what you need to change in this
184.8 -> bad file so now before we go through different
commands and what they do let me first explain to
189.2 -> you what your batch file looks like and what's the
layout for it so first thing you have up top here
194 -> are the environmental variables these just help
make sure that your gpus are being used to their
198.4 -> full potential and this is mainly used for amd
cards not nvidia cards although you can have it
203.28 -> in every batch file and it's completely fine these
commands do set environmental variables in your
208.48 -> system so if you go to your system's environmental
variables you'll find them here which means you
213.2 -> don't really have to have them more than once
you can just run it once with these commands
216.8 -> and then you can get rid of them or you can just
keep them all the time it won't hurt your system
220.64 -> at all it would basically just keep rewriting your
environmental variables but it won't affect you in
225.36 -> any bad way and then after that you have your path
for your phoenix miner so this is the actual miner
230.88 -> usually when you get this it will look something
like this where it's just going directly to the
235.6 -> miner itself but i recommend putting the full
path for your miner so you're able to run it as an
240.4 -> administrator and i'll tell you guys why you need
to run it as an administrator later on but to put
245.04 -> your full path all you need to do is go back to
your phoenix miner folder right click on phoenix
249.36 -> miner go to properties and then just copy this
path for the location and then go back to your
254.56 -> script and put a quotation mark first paste your
path and then put another slash so that it goes
259.92 -> through this folder and then it goes to your
application your phoenixminer.exe and then just
264.88 -> close that with a quotation mark as well and then
you're all set then like this it will know exactly
269.76 -> where your minor file is and you don't need to
worry about running it as an administrator and
274 -> then it suddenly shuts down so after your miner
you have your pool so here in your pool you guys
278.72 -> will be able to connect whichever pool you want
to use in this scenario we have it connected to
283.04 -> the ether mine pool with the ssl europe one
server and then the port for the ssl is five
288.64 -> five five so this you can change it to whatever
you want you can put whatever pool you want here
293.04 -> and then the port number and all this information
can be found on whichever pool you want to use so
298 -> for example here you can see the ssl port for
ether mine is 555 or straight import is 444
305.2 -> and then from there you put the rest of the
information and you're all set so now after
309.36 -> your first pull you have an option to set a second
pull and what that does is just if your first pull
314.8 -> is not responding or it doesn't exist or anything
like that it will go over to the second pull so
320.24 -> it's like a failover plan if this fails it will
go to the second one and it's good to put multiple
324.96 -> different pools so you guys avoid any downtime but
i will go over a strategy later on for you guys to
330.4 -> put everything in one file and then after your
pool you have your wallet so dash wall is your
335.44 -> wallet and that will be your ethereum address
if you guys don't know how to get an ethereum
340 -> address all you need to do is just download a
wallet like exodus or coinomi and then create
344.48 -> an ethereum wallet and after that you can just put
your address here if you want more information on
349.12 -> wallets and exchanges you can watch the video that
i will link in the descriptions below regarding to
353.44 -> where you should store your cryptocurrency and
then after your wallet address you can put a dot
358 -> and then put the name of your worker so this name
will be reflected on the pool so for example if
363.6 -> we go in the pool and then we can check different
miner addresses you guys will see here different
368.72 -> names so abd1 abd2 and that will be your worker
name that will be connected from the script down
375.28 -> here so if i'm mining with this script right now
i will see on the mining pool the name workbench
379.68 -> and then sometimes you'll find there's also
something that such as password or pass and then
385.04 -> in that case usually the default is x and that's
just the way you can log into the pool so you can
390.4 -> mine to the pool and if you don't have an account
with the mining pool itself which most of the time
394.96 -> you don't need to make an account you can just
use the default password you can just leave it
398.72 -> that way but if there is no value existing
or you're not getting any error without pass
403.2 -> x or dash px then you can just leave it empty for
now and then lastly we have pause and what that
409.28 -> does is if your miner crashes then it will just
pause on the screen so you can see what crashed
414.16 -> or what happened wrong if you don't have this and
you run it as an administrator without this path
418.88 -> you guys will see the terminal just closed down
automatically so now that hopefully you have an
422.88 -> idea what the script looks like now we can talk
about different commands and how you can use them
427.84 -> you will be able to find all the commands here
in the dark folder so just open up the docs and
432.16 -> then open up any of these htmls it will take
you to this page and then from this page go to
437.28 -> the command line arguments and as you guys can see
here there are multiple different categories which
442.24 -> each have a lot of commands so i'm not going
to go over all of them i'll just go over the
446.64 -> important ones that you need to know and then for
the rest of it i recommend you guys look through
450.72 -> this and then just read through the commands so
you have a better idea of what's going on the way
455.04 -> that they're explained is basically plain english
so you guys will be able to read these commands
459.28 -> without any problem at all and then there's also
interactive console commands which are different
463.6 -> ones that you can run while the miner is on so
let's first go over the command line arguments
468.4 -> and then we can go back to the interactive console
commands so the first command line arguments we
473.04 -> have here are the pool options we already kind of
covered this in the bat file and we talked about
478 -> the dash pool dash wallet password and worker so
now i'm just going to slightly go over it a little
482.96 -> bit more so first we start with the dash pool and
for dash pool you can use ssl if you're using ssl
488.96 -> servers for your pool or you can do http for solo
mining so we will cover that more later on in a
494.56 -> solo mining video but now let's go ahead and try
different pools in the bat file so as you guys
499.44 -> can see here we have us1 ethermine.org with this
port and if we go back to ether mine's website you
505.28 -> will see that there is a straight import and then
the alternate stratum port and sometimes the first
509.52 -> port won't work for you so you can try the second
port or you can put it as a failover pool as well
514.32 -> so now when you run your miner like that it will
connect directly to the pool and then you'll be
518.4 -> all set from there you'll notice that it will say
the pool is connected and if it doesn't say it's
522.4 -> connected then you probably need to change it
around the ports or try a different server so
526.64 -> now after the pool you have your wallet that is
straightforward you just put your wallet address
531.04 -> and then you have your password which also is
usually as default x or you can just not put it
535.76 -> at all some pools do require it so if any pool
requires it and you're not able to connect to
540.64 -> the pool like we just did then you can just add
the dash pass and then x and then your worker
545.12 -> name you can add that also after with the wallet
name and you don't need to add it here and then
549.12 -> you have the dash proto which is the protocol and
then this is usually as default is etherproxy and
554.4 -> you don't need to change it because it does work
for most of the pools but if you do have issues
558.24 -> with a different pool that you're using then you
can come back here and look here and see which
561.68 -> one will work best for you now that is it with the
pull options so now we can go ahead and talk about
565.76 -> your mining options and in your mining options you
have multiple different commands here so you have
570.4 -> amd which is useful to use only amd cards in
your rig generally you don't want to have nvidia
575.52 -> and amd mixed in windows 10 because it causes a
lot of issues but this can be useful if you're
580.24 -> mining on hive os or anything like that you can
do amd and then from there you can make another
585.2 -> flight sheet for a different gpu as well so if
you have nvidia cards and amd cards and you want
589.76 -> them to mine separate coins you can use phoenix
miner for only amd cards and then you can use
594.48 -> another different flight sheet for nvidia cards
and then you have dash acm so dash acm will turn
599.6 -> on your compute mode this is mainly for 400 series
or 500 series amd cards instead of having to turn
605.76 -> on compute mode from your radeon settings you
can just do dash acm in the bat file and that
611.2 -> will automatically turn it on every time you try
to mine and they also say here it's equivalent of
615.76 -> pressing y in the minor console and what they mean
by that it's an interactive command as well so if
620.24 -> you're currently mining and your terminal is open
while it's mining you can just hit y and then it
624.32 -> will automatically change it to compute mode while
it's mining so either including dash acm in the
628.96 -> script or just hitting y will be completely fine
and then you have dash nvidia which is similar
633.44 -> to dash amd it just uses only nvidia card and then
we have dash gpus and this is to specify which gpu
639.68 -> you want to use for mining so if you have two gpus
and you want to use one of them for your gaming pc
644.4 -> and then the other one you want it to be mining
you can just do dash gpus1 or dash gpus2 based on
649.84 -> which one is your primary gpu and then you're all
set from there you'll be able to use your other
653.68 -> gpu for anything else that's not mining related
and then you have dash mi and gt both of these can
659.52 -> be remain default you don't need to change them at
all it's just the mining intensity and then this
663.68 -> one will auto tune your gpus usually it finds the
best value for your cards but sometimes that will
668.96 -> jump around too much and it causes instability so
if your gpu crashes while it's tuning then you can
674.24 -> try to set a fixed number by doing dash gt 10
or gt 15 whichever one works best for you and
680.56 -> then here we have dash w dog so this enables your
watch dog timer and what that does it checks your
686.08 -> miner and if there's anything that freezes in your
miner so any of the gpus freezes it would restart
690.88 -> the miner right away for it but sometimes if your
overclock's crashed or anything like that then it
695.92 -> will end up freezing again because it will restart
again with the same overclocks that are crashed
700.8 -> so this can be useful if you find a way around it
to tune your overclocks and then have it restart
705.44 -> and we will do a video on advanced troubleshooting
with phoenix miner as well so we'll try to make
709.92 -> use of that then and then you have dash log so
dash log will just either disable or enable your
715.2 -> logging and usually i disable it but if you just
started mining and you want to see why your mining
719.92 -> grid keeps crashing keep this as default don't
change it at all and then if you're done figuring
724.24 -> out what's scratching your rig you can just do
dash log 0 and that would disable your logging
728.88 -> and you don't have to see a bunch of files for
logging in your folder and then down here you set
733.52 -> the log file name usually the default will be in
your folder for your phoenix miner so we'll just
738.4 -> be there you can leave it as default or you can
change it to whatever you want and same goes to
742.32 -> the log directory so now if we go further down
you guys can see here dash config dash config
746.8 -> is pretty useful you can load everything from a
config.txt file instead of putting them in the
751.68 -> star.bat file itself and i will go over that
later on in the additional tips section so
756.56 -> just keep that in mind until then and then now we
have the hardware control options so the hardware
760.96 -> control options will be your temperature your core
clock and everything like that you can basically
765.2 -> tune your gpu from the phoenix miner script itself
and usually i see a lot of people that have tt and
771.2 -> t-max honestly i would recommend getting rid
of these because they would mess around with
775.2 -> your fan speed and they would usually leave it low
unless you know how to configure it but i rather
779.52 -> just tune the fan speed with msi afterburner or
whatever overclocking software you're currently
784.4 -> using or you can just set a fan min and then
from the fan minimum you can put for example 60
789.68 -> and then your fan speed will not go lower than
60 so that's also another good option and then
794.56 -> if we go a little bit lower you guys will see here
everything that's related to overclocking your gpu
799.04 -> so you can do this in the script itself and it
will look something like this so then what will
803.76 -> happen is if you run your miner script it will
automatically set the values for your overclocks
808.4 -> but just remember everyone has different
overclock settings in the current pc that
812 -> i'm working on it's running an rx 5700 regular
so when i found the right settings for my gpu
817.28 -> for mining i would just run the script and then it
will automatically mine with the proper settings
821.92 -> so as you guys can see here it set the gpu clocks
and the gpu memory clocks to whatever value i
827.28 -> mentioned in the settings here so now like that i
can just mine directly with the proper overclocks
831.84 -> without having to change them through my computer
settings themselves and then whenever i close the
836.32 -> miner as well it will just automatically reset
them and then it will go back to normal so this is
840.8 -> pretty useful if you're mining on your main pc and
i will include the strategy for mining with your
845.2 -> main pc and a video coming very soon and if you
have no idea about overclocks and how they work
850.08 -> then i recommend checking out the latest video
i've released which talks about why overclocking
854.24 -> your gpus is good for you and how it extends the
life for your gpu so feel free to check that video
859.36 -> out the link will be in the descriptions below so
now after all these overclock settings you also
863.84 -> have different options for modifying your gpu
memory timing so for example here we have dash
868.72 -> mt dash mt will modify your memory timings for amd
gpus in windows only and this is usually useful if
875.28 -> you have the rx 500 series or 400 series and you
don't want to bias mod the gpu you can just use
880.72 -> this option right here so you can try dash mt1
or dash mt2 and then you can see if that helps
886.48 -> you reach your gpu level to where you want it
to be and then you have dash leave mt and this
891.04 -> just does not reset your memory timing level when
you close your miner i recommend not putting this
895.76 -> option just have it reset back to normal
whenever you finish mining that's completely
899.52 -> fine and then if you go a little bit lower
you have the same exact things but for nvidia
903.04 -> cards so you have dash straps and in claymore
miner if you guys remember it used to be dash
907.44 -> straps as well but claymore miner doesn't work
anymore it's deprecated so there won't be any more
912 -> updates to that miner and then you also have dash
traps for amd vega cards so just try different
916.96 -> values and see which one works best for you and
then from there you'll be set and then finally
920.96 -> for the gpu control options we have dash rx boost
this option is very important for polaris cards
926.4 -> so if you have a 500 or 400 series cards then i
recommend putting dash rx boost and then the value
932 -> usually 20 is the best option so try dash rx boost
20 and then with the memory timing options up here
938.16 -> you should be able to receive 30 megahertz so then
after the hardware control options you guys will
942.56 -> have general options so these are just to debug
or see what gpus you have you can do the dash
947.92 -> help to see more information on the miner and
then you can do dash list to see the detected
952.96 -> gpus and stuff like that so now after that we
are down to the last section which is per gpu
958.08 -> options so for example if we check here you can
see that dash gt it has multiple different numbers
963.36 -> that are separated by a coma and what that means
is that you can do multiple different numbers in
968.24 -> one command line so for example here i have the
cc clock and let's say i have two different gpus
973.52 -> in this system i have a 5700 which will be the
first gpu that's plugged in and then i have a
978.88 -> 1660 ti so if i want to do two different overclock
settings for both of these gpus i would just do
984.8 -> comma and then i would do negative 200 and
that will be the core clock for the 1660 ti
990.24 -> and of course that depends on how your phoenix
miner reads your gpus so make sure that your gpu
994.88 -> 5700 shows first in the dash list option and
then once you do the dash list you'll be able
1000 -> to tell which gpu is which and then you can just
put their overclock settings separated by a comma
1004.88 -> and then you'll be all set so now that covers the
main command line arguments that you need to know
1009.28 -> if you guys have any questions or anything is
not clear please let me know i didn't want to go
1013.76 -> through all of the command lines like i mentioned
before because i feel like it will take way too
1017.6 -> long and it won't provide really that much value
so if you guys are unclear about anything please
1022.24 -> go back to that documentation and then just read
through it and you'll be all set so now we can go
1026.56 -> ahead and talk about interactive console commands
so for interactive console commands these are the
1031.12 -> ones that you can run while your miner is on so
for example i'll go ahead and run my phoenix miner
1035.68 -> and then you'll guys see what i mean so here i
have my miner on and it's mining at 45 mega hash
1040.32 -> that is due to having two different displays
connected to this gpu as well as recording the
1044.88 -> screen so it the hash rate is pretty low now we
can look at the first command the first command
1049.84 -> is print detailed statistics so if i go ahead
and hit s it will print out some information
1054.4 -> as you guys can see here so it says available
gpus for mining and then the gpu one is amd rx
1059.92 -> 5700 and then you also have pause and resume
gpu so this is good if you're mining with both
1065.04 -> gpus and then you want to stop one of your gpus
so you can do something else on your computer
1069.84 -> you can just hit the number of the gpu so what
i can do is hit number one and then that will
1074.48 -> pause gpu number one and i only have one gpu in
this rig so the gpu number one will be paused
1080.16 -> and then i won't have any more hash rate left and
then if i want to enable my gpu back on i just hit
1085.12 -> number one again and then it will be enabled and
it will start mining again so it's a really nice
1089.44 -> thing to have if you're mining on your main pc
and you just want to turn off one of your gpus
1094.8 -> and then you have p which pauses the whole miner
itself so you can pause the entire thing and all
1100.56 -> the gpus will be paused with it and then the rest
of the commands are for tuning i honestly i don't
1105.44 -> recommend using any of these tunings because it
is already tuned by the gt value so you don't
1110.48 -> need to do any further tuning and then you can
reload your epools.txt which is basically where
1115.92 -> you can keep multiple different pools and if you
make any changes there you can hit r on the system
1121.04 -> here and then it will reload the information
from your epools.txt i will talk about this
1126 -> file more later on and then you also have turn on
amd compute mode if it's off on some of the gpus
1132 -> so you can hit y for that which we talked about
earlier and then you can reload the config.txt
1137.12 -> so it's the same concept with reloading the
epools and that will just give you the updated
1141.52 -> information in your config.txt and after that you
can hit h and then you'll see all the different
1146.16 -> options here for help so that's basically it for
interactive console commands and then now i'll go
1150.72 -> ahead and talk about the config.txt as well as
the epools.txt so since this video is already
1156.24 -> getting pretty long i'm just going to briefly run
over config.txt and epools.txt so what config.txt
1162.4 -> does is that you can put all your command line
arguments that you would put in your bat file
1166.72 -> in your config.txt file instead so as you guys
can see here we have the pool pool 2 as well as
1172.4 -> the wallet address and then the overclock settings
you can do this on every line or you can put them
1177.2 -> all in the same line as long as you have a space
between every command you'll be completely fine
1182.24 -> and most of the time you'll see all these
different hashtags behind every line and what
1186.48 -> that means is that phoenix miner will just ignore
that line as a comment so these two commands down
1191.92 -> here will be completely ignored because they have
a hashtag behind them and we don't need to worry
1195.92 -> about them so now after i have my config.txt file
just make sure that you save it and make sure that
1200.8 -> it's in the same folder that your phoenix miner
is in so as you guys can see here phoenixminer
1205.2 -> and then we have up here config.txt so now having
that in the folder i can just run phoenix miner
1210.8 -> directly without running startminer.bat and after
running phoenix miner directly you guys will see
1216.32 -> here that everything will be just loaded directly
from the config.txt so i have my two pools here
1221.84 -> and then i have my overclock settings they already
kicked in and any change that i want to do to this
1226.56 -> config.txt file for example the overclocks
let's say i want to put the fan speed to 60
1232.24 -> i can go ahead and go back here and just hit c
and then it will reload the settings from the
1236.8 -> config.txt that is basically how config.txt works
and for epools.txt the only reason that you'd ever
1244.32 -> want to use it is if you want to add more pools so
for example the maximum you can do on your command
1249.6 -> line arguments are just two pools and you can't
do like pull three or pull four and then epools
1254.48 -> will allow you to do more than just two pools and
honestly it's not necessary usually having two
1258.96 -> pools one as the main and then one as a backup
is completely fine but the same concept applies
1263.92 -> here so you'll just need to read through this
document and then you'll understand how to use it
1267.76 -> and to activate the epools file you just need to
make sure that you rename the file to epools.txt
1273.28 -> and then phoenix miner will pick it up and then
take the pool information from here directly
1277.6 -> although just one thing you want to keep in
mind is for your environmental variables up here
1281.6 -> you won't be able to activate those if you copy
them to your config.txt file because this is a
1286.48 -> bad script and you need to make sure you run this
as a bad script so what you can do is you can get
1290.4 -> rid of all this stuff right here and then you
can run this file once so you can apply all this
1294.96 -> information and then after that you can just go
ahead and start running it from your config.txt
1300.08 -> the reasons that you might want to consider
your config.txt is if you have a lot of rigs
1304.4 -> running on windows 10 you can simply just copy
this file and paste it into the folder of your
1309.12 -> different rigs and then it will automatically
pick up from here and one last thing you guys
1313.12 -> can also load your config.txt file from the
command line arguments by just typing in config
1318.24 -> and then config.txt which is the name of the file
and for example let's say i have someone's else's
1323.2 -> config.txt and they have their settings and their
wallet there what i can do is i can just do wall
1328.24 -> and then put my wallet here and what that does
is that it will load first their wallet and then
1333.36 -> we'll see my wallet here that will overwrite their
wallet it won't change anything in the txt file it
1339.12 -> will just give phoenix miner my wallet which
is the last one that's provided now that's it
1343.6 -> for config.txt and epools.txt if you guys have any
questions please let me know in the comments below
1351.594 -> that show up on your terminal miner so for
example here you guys see no cuda driver found
1355.914 -> you don't need to worry about this this is just
for nvidia cards so since there is no nvidia
1359.914 -> cards in the system it says no cuda drivers are
found which is completely fine and then the rest
1364.714 -> of the stuff is very straightforward so you have
your shares and then you have your accepted which
1368.794 -> is the first number stale shares are the second
number and then rejected are the third number
1373.274 -> and the shares that are showing in your phoenix
minor terminal will be more than what you see in
1377.274 -> the pool because phoenix minor will show you the
shares throughout the entire session while the
1381.674 -> mining pools always show you around 1 hour worth
of shares so just keep that in mind when you want
1386.074 -> to compare as well now that being said guys i
hope you're ready now to use phoenix miner and it
1390.314 -> looks less intimidating with all these different
commands and all these different files thank you
1394.314 -> so much for watching if you enjoyed it please
leave a thumbs up and if you have any questions
1398.154 -> leave them in the comments below and if you're
new to cryptocurrency mining make sure to hit
1401.914 -> that subscribe button because i'm doing a giveaway
very soon so you can definitely benefit from it
1406.154 -> and then there will also be a lot more content for
beginners coming out as well as some advanced and
1410.554 -> fun stuff that will be coming out very soon thank
you guys again and i hope you have a wonderful
1414.874 -> day
