Changelog

The new features in this release are:

• Added support for the new ETCHash algorithm that will be used by the ETC blockchain from Nov 28, 2020. If you want to mine ETC, you should add -coin etc to your command-line, or, COIN: etc to your epools.txt file. See the start_miner_etc.bat and epools_example.txt files for examples

Here is a full command-line example for mining ETC (IMPORTANT: replace the ETC address with your own ETC wallet address in the -wal option, Rig001 is the name of the rig):

Example:
PhoenixMiner.exe -pool ssl://eu1-etc.ethermine.org:5555 -wal 0x6481c50D9df43314e660716F6dB58f04de71ae0e.Rig001 -coin etc


Here are a couple of epools.txt lines for ETC mining:

Example:
POOL: ssl://eu1-etc.ethermine.org:5555, WAL: 0x6481c50D9df43314e660716F6dB58f04de71ae0e.Rig001, COIN: etc
POOL: etc-eu1.nanopool.org:19999, WAL: 0x6481c50D9df43314e660716F6dB58f04de71ae0e.Rig001, COIN: etc


If you do not intend to mine Ethereum Classic (ETC) you can stay on PhoenixMiner 5.2e for now because there are no other significant changes besides the support for ETCHash.

Happy Mining!
