PhoenixMiner is a popular cryptocurrency mining software that specializes in mining Ethereum (ETH) and other Ethash/Dagger Hashimoto-based cryptocurrencies. Released in 2017, it has become one of the most efficient and widely-used mining solutions in the crypto community.
The software is known for its high performance, low developer fee (0.65%), and stability during operation. PhoenixMiner supports both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards, making it versatile for different mining setups. It offers various features such as:
- Dual mining capability
- Hardware monitoring
- Custom overclocking settings
- Detailed statistics and reporting
- Multiple pool connections
- Failover support
PhoenixMiner is particularly appreciated by miners for its optimization algorithms that help achieve maximum hashrate while maintaining low power consumption. The program also features a user-friendly interface and comprehensive documentation, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced miners.
Note: As of 2022, with Ethereum's transition to Proof of Stake (PoS), the software's primary use case has shifted to mining alternative cryptocurrencies that still use the Ethash algorithm.
