• NiceHash solo mining & blockchain lottery is an advanced multi-algorithm stratum based solo mining pool for Bitcoin, Litecoin and Dash. You can use it as a regular solo mining pool by connecting your miners to our solo mining stratum servers. Moreover you can also rent hashing power on NiceHash (https://www.nicehash.com)/WestHash (https://www.westhash.com) and point it to our solo mining stratum servers and play some blockchain lottery.
  
• If you find a block, 99.5% of the block reward + transaction fees get generated directly at your address. Therefore there is no login, no need to worry about passwords, withdrawals, authentication or pool wallet hacks. No funds are kept by pool but are rather directly generated to your address.

Connect your miners or rented hashing power from NiceHash (https://www.nicehash.com)/WestHash (https://www.westhash.com) to:

stratum+tcp://stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3334 for Bitcoin
stratum+tcp://stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3333 for Litecoin
stratum+tcp://stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3336 for Dash

You should use you Bitcoin/Litecoin/Dash address as worker username and any password.
You can add worker name by adding ".workername" at the tail of your Bitcoin/Litecoin/Dash address; example:


If you enter an invalid address you will be rejected (authorization error). Make sure you use valid/existing address when connecting!

The pool fee is 0.5%. If you find a block, 99.5% of the block reward + transaction fee rewards get generated directly at your address. The main stratum pool code is based on ckpool, therefor 10% of our fee for Bitcoin mining is directly donated to Con Kolivas BTC address 148KkS2vgVi4VzUi4JcKzM2PMaMVPi3nnq as contribution for his work on stratum pool core development.

Each time a new block is found a notification will be automatically posted to Twitter @NiceHashSolo - https://twitter.com/NiceHashSolo: therefore you're welcome to follow us on Twitter @NiceHashSolo ;)

I think I like the way CK has his solo pool set up that if you try and mine with a invalid address your rejected....sure would hate to think someone would find a block only to not get rewarded.

Not to bite the hand that feeds me as I am paid for the signature by nice hash.  I suggest that some invalid address check be used.

Even if  you fill a pot with  coins of 'dumb' miner errors and give it as a promo to anyone mining with you. Each solo block gets half the mistaken coins and you keep the other half.

I will send some hash at your solo pool in a few minutes.

That would be awful...

nicehash, how does the pool handle a scenario like this where a block is found but the address to which the reward is to be sent is invalid?  Are there any checks in place to alert a miner that the address.worker construct is not correct?

the miner with a wrong address would not find a block as I understand this. I would think his hashrate would be proxied to a subset of wrong hash and no one would know if it was rented if it hit a solo block

 
Here is my rental and I know the address is valid

Yes unless I am reading it wrong I also see it that way, that a miner could be mining and never know he is not going to get the block if he finds one. That is why I pointed it out, as I have copied and paste a wallet address before and some how missed a digit.

I am renting a bit  in the solo pool  I paid for the rental at westhash and it is order number

Order   Type         Status    Price BTC/TH/Day      Remaining BTC      ETA hours      Limited TH/s    Miners    Speed TH/s
#318636   Standard   Alive     0.0103                0.03248520               17.16              5.00                4            4.4122

It is one more option of renting and mining which is good.

I will still use ck's pool



here I am

http://solo.ckpool.org/users/1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje


and here I am selling hash to nicehash

https://www.nicehash.com/?p=miners&a=1&addr=1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje


If you look at this closely there is a method to what I am doing.

So I like the new option.  I would like very much that a bad btc addy is dealt with in a nicer manner for miners.

I do like that I can use the 3 sites in a way that favors me if I am patient. Most likely my method above will end up how I mine at home.

And we found our first block, it is a Dash block:

http://explorer.dashninja.pl/block/000000000015d029cc371f10364148e42d0ef0d81835dcf217f8a845f3ae3c67

Congratulations to XjjX3WjJhS8B9123xMhWRG4TrU4xhw8kXY ;)

Congrats.  Now would you be so kind as to address some of the questions raised by Phil, auelf57 and myself?

Thanks!

Sure, we're already working on address validator for all three coins (we have to modify code at a few places) so that invalid addresses will be rejected at authorization. Thanks for the feedback!

A) you told us the current setup thank you for that.
B) you are efforting a fix thank you for that.

I like the new option here is why:

 I am using nicehash to rent 2.3th to you At 0.0106

 It rolls over to ck's solo pool

I am solo mining with westhash at your new solo section at 0.0099

So basically I am doing solo mining at a slight discount.

 still hard but just a little better odds for me then mining solo with ck alone

That's good news for folks that want to play the lottery... hate to have the winning numbers but lose the ticket :)

We added two features:

1. If you enter an invalid address you will be rejected (authorization error). So no more "lost lottery tickets" ;) Make sure you use valid/existing address when connecting!

2. You can set preferred mining difficulty. Our system is using vardiff and will automatically adjust optimal difficulty for your miner. Nevertheless you can set custom preferred difficulty by setting diff_xxx in your worker password, example for Bitcoin pool:

Very good! Thank you for being responsive!

Very nice!  Would you mind updating the original post to reflect this as well?  It currently states that if you connect with an invalid address and find a block the proceeds will be donated to the pool.

Also, I'd like to give you a +1 for this:
Con/kano deserve to be compensated for the work they've done and continue to do for the community.  Very nicely done, nicehash!

Pool is showing dead on my miners.

edit: nevermind, the pool just came back up.

NiceHash solo mining Bitcoin pool found it's first block ;)

The happy user already said thanks and sent us the print-screen of his/her lucky AntMiner S3:

https://www.nicehash.com/download/NiceHash_solo_1st_Bitcoin_block.png

Congratulations!

Yeah I saw it in my pool popup when it happened ... but I wasn't sure if it was you or not.
Would be good if you added a "btcsig" to the ckpool conf file like everyone else does: "/Kano" - "/solo.ckpool.org" - "/BitClub"
As it stands your coinbase sig just says "ckpool", which is in all the coinbase sigs of the pools that use ckpool that haven't removed "ckpool" from the code.

OK, Kano, thanks for this, will make it "/NiceHashSolo".

We implemented 1day/7days/30days graph stats per pool / user / worker. This gives you the ability to get user friendly insight into pool/user/worker current and past statistics. Enjoy! ;)

Thank you

Cool, I can use my Antminer U2 as a lottery ticket.   Its a huge long shot but the odds are probably much better than winning the actual lottery

i'm in...
try my luck  ;D

Thnx.
Is it also possible to implement, blocks found by user, and at what time they were found?

So if im not at home, i just check my statistics, and see if i found a block or not.
Also bestshare option, would be great.

NiceHash presents a new feature: one-click Blockchain Lottery!

We welcome you to register an account at www.nicehash.com (http://www.nicehash.com) and check out your Account / Blockchain Lottery. You can purchase one-click tickets for Blockchain Lottery. Each ticket will enable Bitcoin solo mining for 24 hours and give you a chance to win 99.5% of full BTC block reward, including Bitcoin block transaction fees - usually altogether more than 25 BTC! You can buy as much tickets as you wish with various probabilities to win the Bitcoin Lottery. Keep in mind that this is a pure Bitcoin technology, integrated into Blockchain and supported by Bitcoin core technology - there are approximately 144 Bitcoin blocks found each 24 hours, totalling approximately 3600 Bitcoins per day. We wish you the best of luck!

https://www.nicehash.com/download/NiceHash-one-click-Blockchain-Lottery.png

We have added option to quickly switch between NiceHash and WestHash when buying solo-mining tickets at NiceHash.com/WestHash.com. Prices of tickets on both services may not be always equal - one service can be cheaper (depending on current market). We suggest you to check both first and choose cheaper ticket. You use same login to access WestHash (no need to have two accounts).

Since there is currently not much demand for SHA256 hashing power, tickets are currently quite cheap. Go on and check it out ;)

Can anybody explain why my 6.381515 DASH for 2 found blocks not came to an account in the c-cex.com?

It is possible that c-cex.com does not support generating new coins directly to their's deposit addresses, please verify with them.

Answer support: No transaction ID check deposit is not possible.

It seems that due to the fact that solo.nicehash.com not notified about the impossibility of the coin indicate the address of the exchanges I lost my 6.381515 DASH for 2 found blocks?

This is not our mistake or fault, we do not limit any address, however we verify each mining address, and you were using valid address. You should ask c-cex.com to take a look at your case and refund your coins, after all they got the coins in their (your) wallet.

Thank you!

Is someone find a block? How to check this? Tq

go to https://solo.nicehash.com, click the pools button

I do not understand something, I can also bet my s5 to participate win 25 coins?

then I do not understand well because of nicehash you lose power easily? original firmware, and firmware of smith, power hash always decreases, as the gains diminish every day :-\

Yes, any miner can be used to mine on this solo pool.

it looks like my question was ignored.
Ill ask again, just incase.

Is it possible to implement, blocks found by user, and at what time they were found?

So if im not at home, i just check my statistics, and see if i found a block or not.
Also bestshare option, would be great...

Add your mining address in blockchain.info as watch-only address, they send mails when you receive something.  ::)

Thanks. I have been trying to find an easy way to do that.

Yes, but what about dash?
Is this function also implemented?

A few updates:

- we added "Best Share" columnf to Users and Workers stats
- we added "Where can I get statistic reports?" to our FAQ section (https://solo.nicehash.com/faq.htm)

BTW: you can use https://solo.nicehash.com/bitcoin/foundblocks.json to make your own scripts for custom notifications about found blocks, but we'll try to add some user-friendly feature for found blocks notifications in the future.

Good luck on finding new blocks! ;)

Kind regards,
NiceHash

Every time I try mining litecoins solo it says the diff is too low and disconnects.. Is there anything I can do?


It says its fine with the pool verifier

We implemented found block notifications via Twitter ... each time a new block will be found a notification will be automatically posted to Twitter @NiceHashSolo - https://twitter.com/NiceHashSolo: therefore you're welcome to follow us on Twitter @NiceHashSolo ;)

Renting Scrypt hashing power on NiceHash/WestHash and pointing it to solo pool works fine. Please make sure you're selecting appropriate algorithm when submitting new order.

Also, since LTC is very high diff coin, you can easily use 'diff_65536' as a password - this will surely work.

Hi, nicehash!
All payments received. Will other coins?

there is something wrong with your stats..
is this pool working?


it says you havent gotten a bitcoin block in 24 days, but one was found 14/15 days ago.
also you guys did not clear the best share after the block was found.

was it a bug that was fixed and will be ok on the next block?

This is from Bitcoin solo pool logs:
[2015-04-14 11:45:57] Possible block solve diff 112942286426.501999 !
[2015-04-25 04:43:06] Possible block solve diff 138652424600.434601 !

Therefore no block was found 14/15 days ago, these are the only two Bitcoin blocks found; where did you get this information about the third block from?

Otherwise the pool is working 100% fine and without issues. Bestshare hasn't been reset because we were testing some automatic parsing; but it will be reset from now on at each block found (the same as it is already working fine for our ltc and dash solo pools).

Kind regards,
NiceHash

its not there now, but i could have swore i saw a user address with a best share of over 100b that received a block 15 days ago.

it must have jumped to a diff pool or something, maybe it was a rental.

maybe i was reading it wrong and it was only 10b.

What ??
I talked to you many times about that issue . why you answered now ?  after 24 days running I spent more than 10 btc renting from nicehash without no reply about my stuck bestshare .
so now my bestshare freezed since last block ( 17,464,448,589.77 ) Okay now what is my real best share and what is high best share  until now ?
My user add :13vTagC3h6F7crUdtaZURxcWmkEexJb27i
Thanks

PrivacyBTC, we never said that best share is freezed. Yes, we've replied to you many times but you're not paying enough attention, please read our answers and replies carefully. Best share was not freezed it's just that it hasn't been reset after the last block was found. However, as you can see, best share is changing, but only if it increases (if you get a higher best share). Please also read "What is Best Share?" at https://solo.nicehash.com/faq.htm. Thanks.

My best share 17 b since 25 days
also this not for this block as u said
This best share for last block .
like user who solved last block he and me have previous best share .
Now how can i know my best share while u said it wasn't reset since last block.

Thanks

What does it really matter?  Unless you've gotten a share above the network difficulty of 48.8G, which you'd know because ~25BTC would end up in your wallet, the data is irrelevant.  Is it some kind of bragging right?  Sure, it's fun to see, but it offers no value other than some psychological comfort.

Why is it impossible to connect to this pool (LTC in my case) through miningrigrentals.com? This is the only pool I've ever run into that won't work with it.

I can connect fine without MRR, but I need it to work with MRR.

Hmm, there are no limitations whatsoever. I suggest you ask MRR if they are using some filters. Thanks!

OK, will do and I'll post what they have to say.

Thanks!

I tend to agree with what they said as I've never found a pool that didn't work with MRR's service.

We'll take a look at this ... anyway, we're running ckpool software on solo pools without any modifications, therefore we don't see any reason why this would not work with MRR. Can you please give us some more information: which coin are you mining on solo pool, Bitcoin/Litecoin/Dash? Do you get any error or simply can't connect? And if you can give us some time stamps (in UTC, if possible) when you did try it and it failed? Thanks!

It seems to have started to work for some reason, when specifying a difficulty. Still have some testing to do, but so far so good.

You can track the Titan here: https://solo.nicehash.com/litecoin/user/LULUoYgf1B1DXH769aFNaY7KpHVH2hH1Xj.htm

Was previously connected to your solo pool directly, now through MRR. Previously, adding "stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3334" as a pool on MRR would result in a "pool not reachable" error.

Good to know you're using ckpool's code, can't go wrong with that. You must have had to make a few modifications to it, though? It only supports bitcoin mining by default doesn't it?

MRR does not like our service, because a lot of people try to make arbitrage and fail which results in MRR having to do refunds - which is manual process. Guess they simply blocked our domains to reduce the manual work needed.

I don't think that's the case, I can point my miners without issue to regular nice/westhash 3333/3334 servers and now solo 3333. I own the rigs though, maybe renting is a different story.

CK's pool code is certainly only BTC - I'm pretty sure Con would just erase all coins other than BTC if he could :P. 

If the folks over at NH are indeed using ckpool and ckdb for pools other than their BTC solo mining operation, then they've absolutely made modifications to it :).

Exactly what I was thinking. LOL.

True, we did some minor tweaks for Scrypt and X11 support, but none of them that would cause miner not to connect, and we are for sure not blocking anybody or any service - we are happy to work with any service, even our competitors. Glad to see it is working now ... it is always best to manually set initial difficulty for Scrypt.

Correct, there's no altcoin support in ckpool. Also there is no solo mining code in the freely available code either as it is unique to my solo pool. Both have been added by NH's own programmers to my code and I've had nothing to do with those modifications.

So This Block in Solo pool will resume forever ??

now my 17 b bestshare not reset since last block and not increased too .

Nice hash support plz try to find a way to solve this . MY RIG (3 TH ) made 8 b bestshare and over many times in few days but i forced to turn off them and restart . how can i still in this bestshare for monthes also im using rental service .

or u have to reset this pool . if it possible


Also about using other coins , I captured this screen last week

http://s15.postimg.org/7l90vi2br/41_block.jpg (http://postimg.org/image/7l90vi2br/)

Sure its not for failover 3rd pool because it takes some seconds or minutes.

I put 1ghz skrypt power
At solo pool
Titan power

But the solo pool at litecoin

Give me as speed only 480 MHz why that happen?????

how can I remove the Updated cgminer and revert back to the original version that came preinstalled on my antminer.

after installing I am getting about 200,000 discarded per every 5 minutes
but the miners without the updated version get less than 100 discarded every 10 minutes

Litecoin live stats
 Uptime: 1 month
 Hashrate: 0h/s
 Users: 3
 Workers: 9


something is wrong..

Fixed now, sorry for the inconvenience.

No shit dude...
What makes you think that the "original" as you call it does not play hide and seek with you and not showing discards ;)
I have seen so called originals - they where hashing for whole day according to cgminer stats without single share submitted to the pool.
So next time DO NOT BUY CLOSED SOURCE MINER!!!!!!!!
If you need petahash cgminer display with 0 rejects /discards do not hesitate to call me :D
You will get it in binary of course...
The only trustable source of cgminer with accurate stats is con/kano repository + some others open sourced of course. The rest  is just a plain shit...

If you followed the instructions, you should have backed up the original when you installed the patched one.  If you didn't, just re-flash the miners with the official Bitmain binaries.  Then, install Con/Kano cgminer binaries.

A new Bitcoin block was found today, congratulations to 1PN9XH9pPXtYHeupDAiFeFrkgXiwKZVUVe !

I yesterday I removed my nicehash miners from the pool, too unstable, your speed drops too, with firmware smith, nothing changes always losing power, and one day in 4500 ghs do 0:02, instead of other pool I did in 0120 btc 36 hours.

I'm sorry, the swimming pool and beautiful, but it is too unstable. :-[

You don't get paid daily on solo pool, only when you find the block.

But if you are referring to regular NiceHash/WestHash - we were doing some maintenance in past 2 days to improve stratum proxy performance. This maintenance is now over and there are no more mining interruptions.

Your website is down again......

The temp page says:

"Web server is down due to an error in systemic software. We are working to fix it. Stratum servers are running normally, all shares are being paid for.

You can track the issue here.

Payments to miners will be delayed!"

The other day when it said that Stratum Servers were running didn't seem to be the case as our miners went back to our second choice.  Today for the last two hours it seems that our miners again used our second choice, not westhash. 

What is the status of the website being back up?

this pools website works for me??

New Bitcoin block was found! Congratulations to 16fQsshcYFUe6FbyGPMmUJnMBYjgLZL3vR!

Man, that guy is hitting the lottery... he just found a couple blocks solo on -ck's pool, too!

I Used the Nicehash Firmware for staibility on pool.

It worked, but after waking up the next morning my machine was hacked and was mining for nicehash for hes own wallet.


If he is able to pull this uggly kind of stuff i would not recommend him to anyone, really uggly and decieving, shame on you !

proof

your firmware forcing to switch to your pool!

We did not create any mining software on our own. Some software was provided to us and public as free of charge, for developement of some we paid. We never guaranteed that mining software functions without mistakes or is completely harmless. Most of provided software have source attached - everyone can examine. If we get any reports of software provided on our page being faulty or buggy, we will try to fix these bugs. If we get reports of software being harmfull, we will take it down.

Unfortunately, we are only a pool-kind-of-service. We take care of our software (pool side). Client-mining side is taken care by the community and it is in everyones own discretion which mining software to use. Usually pools never provide software, but we were forced to, due to horrible bugs in cgminer that prevented our service to work properly with miners. Additionally to that, due to the original stratum protocol non-flexibility regarding extranonce1, we had to make own stratum extension, which by now, most of mining software already supports.

That pool is hidden and added not by misstake. It's even forcing to shutdown the other pools to prioritise you pool , so that is clearly not made by "misstake" .

Congratulations!

Where do I get that for the s3??

on his site, it will force to mine onto hes wallet so i would not recommend it ...

Here is some more proof of your unworthy trust , i know now to not trust anymore on you, decieving people to mine for you, now you have ruined my machine, i am unable to remove your pool from my machine, i have a 10 kilo of junk thanks to you!!

http://s30.postimg.org/uaio4v0gh/asdasdasd.png

dude seriously.



1, you are on the wrong thread.. this one is for the solo pool..
2, you are seriously doing something wrong.. how do you have 4 pools listed?


the fact that you torrent files. perhaps you have a virus on your computer.

There are 4 pools because of nicehash firmware, after using it , he claming it is better, hes pool have been forcing into my machine all over and over again , i have done everything i can do , flashing, downgrading, he's pool keeps coming back.

He's pool appears after some hours of working and forces to shutdown all others, i cant remove it , or change it.

nice hash is abusive and decieving user , this is thanks to hes firmware.

yeah see, you arent the only one using this firmware.. lots of people do..
and i would imagine by now, if this firmware caused your problems they would be causing the same problems to everyone else.

im guessing its something else..


you can always flash it back to the stock firmware.. just uncheck the keep settings box.

I have alrady reflashed , i have even swapped the SD card for a new one, and it keeps on there into the machine

Maybe your router or your pc infected. someone hacked your pc/router and set his own wallet on your machine.

impossible, i am behind 4 routers whit firewalls, my computer is not infected .

I have problem in nicehash solo page when i open it in my iphone 5!
I can't see my bestshare:

http://up.trolls.ir/uploads/143485141949821.png

http://up.trolls.ir/uploads/143485141952382.png

can you fix this? thanks.

LOL.. that is a major problem..
you are only supposed to have 1 firewall.

actually having more is a bad idea.

plus, firewall /= virus protection.

anyways, it seems you are one of those people that ask for help, and ignore everything that is suggested..

I already done everything that is suggested  and nothing have worked.


My routers are there because they are needed i an a network technician i know how to set up the network.

It's something else that someone have remote acces from my machine, and as i can't trace any outcoming connections it must be rooted into the code of the firmware to deploy itself at given pool and wallet..

Are you try to flash with original firmware? from bitmaintech.com support page:
https://www.bitmaintech.com/support.htm

I can't tell if he is a troll, we should not feed the trolls.

After flashing to stock, and not saving settings, be sure to change your admin password. Then give it a try for 24 hours.

Any malware could be ssh'ing into your Antimer and changing those settings. Others have reported something like this on hosted systems.

*And you are posting in the wrong thread.

up :P

A new block was found, once again congratulations to 16fQsshcYFUe6FbyGPMmUJnMBYjgLZL3vR!

That guy has had a good run solo mining.  He's found a few on ck.'s pool... and now he's found a few here as well.  Good for him - wish it were me :)

someone tells me what it means? I found 15 blocks? and my gain and 0.045 BTC?

I never understood this system :-\ :-\

for one you are in the wrong thread..
and it means you rented out your miner to someone that mined alt coins with it and you found them 15 blocks of some worthless coin and paid you .045 btc.

where you point the miner address? solo miner or not?
thats not solo mining..

It means you have a complete and total lack of understanding of how mining works.  Do you know what the share difficulty of solving a block of bitcoin is?  Here's a hint: it's 49,402,014,931.  What's your best share?  300,697.  Hmmm... is 300,697 greater than 49,402,014,931?  Nope.  You have NOT FOUND a block of BTC.  You are most certainly not solo mining since your miners are pointed to the EU stratum server of nicehash.  Your gear was rented by someone mining some alt coin with a low enough difficulty that your miner found 15 blocks.  Nicehash paid you for your submitted shares as described in their contract, which you agreed to by signing up for their pool and providing your miners for rent.

OK let me splain lucy...

First you are asking the question in the wrong thread.. because according to that picture your address is pointing to the regular nicehash pool not the SOLO pool

Nice/West Hash is more like a market place for you to sell your hash... look at the order page for SHA256... those are orders for TH/s ... they range all over the board.... I have seen people accidently pay .99 BTC per  TH/s wich basically if you were lucky enough to be hashing away at the time and happened to be one of the lucky few that met the buyers quota then you could have made almost a full bitcoin in one day..

Normally you (the Seller of Hash rate ) are probably going to fall in the .010 range per TH/s so you make .01 Bitcoin per TH per Day.. about what a PPS pool would pay. some day you get more... if you keep renting your miner here you might find that your average pay ends up being .0107 BTC per TH per day.. that is .0007 BTC per day more than most standard PPS pool.

I should note that you can earn considerably less than the standard .01 btc per day .. if you look at the order page you see a ton of orders for .001 BTC per day.. basically if you kept your miner hashing at this rate you would be paying them to use your miner.. and it does happen due to network outages or Web Frontend maintenance causing other orders not to get initiated or refilled.
It is RARE but it can happen.

all that said.. these are your pay rates.. I don't care if your miner is lucky enough to find 10 blocks a day when you rent your hash power to someone at the current market rate,  that is all you will get..

They rented your Hashpower so if your miner finds a block for the buyer .. then of course the Buyer gets the block reward.

you gave up those block rights when you rented your hashpower to someone else.

They took a risk and bought your power to see if they get lucky and find a block or are trying to generate some coin at another pool.

Also keep in mind the algorithm (in this case SHA256) can be used to mine a multitude of cryptocurrency coins or Altcoins so just because you have it in your head that you like to mine Bitcoin.. the renter of your miner might be using it to mine Namecoin or Terracoin or Zetacoin.. I dont know all the different ones, These Altcoins are not as difficult to mine as bitcoin and so the chances of actually solving a block are considerably better.  the reward to the renter is more of these altcoins that they are trying to farm. 
your miner does not distinguish between what type of coin.. it is just doing its job on the Algorithm that it was designed for.


if you want to mine bitcoin for yourself and I personally think more people should.. then point your miner to stratum+tcp://stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3334

when you do this you wont get paid at all for your hash power.. but if you actually do find a block then you will earn the full block reward minus the fee of .5% which is currently 25BTC or roughly $6400 dollars at today's price.  you more than likely wont find anything.. but you cant win the lottery if you never buy a ticket.

the calculated amount of time it would take your miner at 480GHs is approximately 5100 days. But if your super lucky you could get one tonight. or tomorrow... or someday

oh my god this got too wordy too quick

Wow... that was a whole lotta words :)

My previous explanation was harsh, but accurate.  Marvykkio had no clue was he was doing... pointed his S5 at a pool without understanding what it meant to do so... saw that his miner found blocks, but didn't understand what the miner UI means... and is complaining about not seeing hundreds of BTC in his wallet.

Exactamoondo


and sorry for my verbal diarrhea 

If mining some days solo mining lite coin
Not find block
Stop mining

And then after 10'days


Start mining again I will lost or not my previous job at pool???????????..

You opened another thread to ask this same question.  You should probably lock that one since it's more relevantly asked here in this thread.

The answer is it doesn't matter.  Solo mining is all or nothing.  You find a block or you don't.  There is no credit for submitted shares, unless that share solves the block.  You don't get partial payments.  You can mine today and not mine again for 10 days... doesn't matter.

In answer to this question (posted on the other thread):
Your previous work is not relevant.  None of your work is relevant in solo mining unless you solve a block.  In that case, you'll get the full block reward (minus any fees NH charges).

Anyone here not receive yesterdays payment? I got the trans id but it says 0 unconfirmations and it has been over 3 hours. ?

You should probably ask this question in their regular pool support thread... this one's for the solo mining pool.  Or did you actually solo mine a block and not get your 25BTC?

Looks like there is another attack on bitcoin network - flooding transactions. Take a look at how many are waiting to be confirmed: https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

Are there any plans to improve the solo mining service? I'm a big fan of it, and have found quite a few LTC blocks. I'd like to see better graphs, more details on blocks found (specifically orphans, which don't seem to be listed) and it would be nice to be able to tell which worker under an address found a block. Perhaps a block counter? The website also needs work to display properly on mobile phones.

Pool and website are dead.

Anyone at nicehash monitoring this thread?

People working on this project are currently on vacations. They will reply once being back.

Anyone home yet?

Sorry for the late reply. We have some of these stuff on to-do list, but there simply wasn't time for implementing additional features yet.

What exactly do you mean by "better graph", what are you missing?

And regarding "more details on blocks found" -> each block is linked to blockchain explorer for details. We might be able to display orhpans .... besides orphans is there anything else you would like to see?

"which worker under an address found a block" ... hmm, this is not very easy, we would have to modify ckpool, we'll take a look at it.

"block counter" like block counter for all found blocks from start?

And yes, we're aware that some pages are not displaying correctly on mobile ... we'll try to fix this.

Thank you for the feedback and keep on hashing!

Kind regards,
NiceHash

I have an issue with a btc deposit to my wallet on nicehash

so my 0.0468 btc is not in my wallet on nicehash  but it did go into my wallet's address above.  what is wrong?

I too have this same problem.

3Qmk6LhzsiUeEubfyiPkhLHeYrgurshRLT

.4996 BTC sent, 23 confirmations, yet not in my nicehash wallet!

I sent PM here and email to support......no response yet

BitGo is out of sync...

how long will it take for sync to happen 1 ,2 , 3 or more hours?

Mine just hit and they did respond to my messages.

After a whole day of solo mining:

http://snag.gy/oMvnj.jpg

 ;D

Is it worth mining Dash solo with 17Mhs mining power ?
Or is it just a waste of power ?

Is it worth to buy a lottery ticket or it is just a waste of money?

Coinwarz tell me it will take around seven days to find a block by mining solo, depending on luck ofc. Is that calculation somewhere near reality ?
I am just thinking if i should point my small hash to a regular pool instead.

I never mined solo before.

Once again forget about calls. You may win from your first lotary ticket or never
It is up to you

Maintenance scheduled for SOLO pool today at 08:00 UTC, service will be unavailable for approximately 1h. Thank you for understanding.

i tried your LTC solo pool with rent scrypt miners from your site. But your pool give error reason pool difficulty too low. it there a solution this problem?

Try specifying fixed difficulty by entering "diff_16384" into the Password field.

 what is wrong with these 2  orders ?  they are frozen

S #815339 0.17077236 btc

 S #823484 0.13802887 btc

https://i.imgur.com/K6z4V2y.png

try to cancel orders  and see below neither one cancelled

https://i.imgur.com/qKYTtWX.png

https://i.imgur.com/HtxyAV7.png

tried to lower hashrate and  basically tells me frozen see screen shots


https://i.imgur.com/BgBcChA.png


https://i.imgur.com/Ph2OuB0.png

So my orders are frozen as are my funds these orders add up to over  0.3  btc

0.17077236
0.13802887

0.30880123  to be exact

I would like to be able to cancel them  or do something  to fix this.

I do not want to awaken in the morning and find the coins gone with a notice orders mined out. 

That won't be acceptable.


Your system is broken as I type.

I don't want to here it has something to do with the pool I am mining at.  Here is why I can't cancel the order and that is your fault .

Not mine not the pool I mine at.

You offer the option to cancel and be refunded and it does not work. You offer the option to lower hashrate and it does not work.

I have spent dozens of coins and have always said your site was good to me. So please fix this.

Ive been mining to nicehash address for a long time, but for the past 2 hours, my miners are reporting that nicehash stratum is dead.
Any news as to what's going on?

Hi,

We had issues with servers in USA location, basically our hosting provider (SoftLayer) had intermediate issues, they had to move our servers to another POD which caused fatal service interruption. We restored normal state just about an hour ago. No data was lost and service is now working normally. Any orders that were assigned to USA location (WestHash) were basically on pause while the USA location was down, therefore no data/hashes/funds were lost.

Let us know if you are still having some issues with the service by sending email directly to support@nicehash.com.

Sorry for the troubles this might have caused you and keep on hashing!

Thank you!

Hi Nicehash,

I have been doing some X11 mining (both buying and selling) through your pool over the past month.  The experience has mostly been positive, but there seems to be some manipulation occurring on the X11 buyers market.

The API prevents the user from reducing the buy price rapidly but does not enforce the same rule on the speed limit.  Some users are exploiting this by having multiple orders at various price points and using the speed control to move hashing power between them.  For example:

 S #829208   0.1510   8.40   728   0.5226

A minute later

 S #829208   0.1510   0.10   739   1.6601

Another minute later

 S #829208   0.1510   8.60   464   2.3724

This behaviour is bad for miners due to frequent pool changes.  In fact, you identify frequent disconnects as a problem in the FAQ:

This is to prevent too much "order-jumping", because due to some stratum protocol limitations, miner has to be disconnected before it can serve another order again. Too many disconnects would affect miners performance (more work would be performed on backup pool, plus when connection is dropped, there is a chance of shares being lost).

My question to you is:
 a) Are you aware of this issue?
 b) What will be done to address it?
 c) When?

Thanks!

Hi all :)

Just started on SOLO NICEHASH with litecoin.

I have 2 machines running.

One on Nicehash and One on F2Pool.

Both were set off at the same time ( within a couple of seconds )

Yet cgminer ( same version for both )  after a few hours report different  FOUND BLOCKS.
And the latest block found times are different too.

As I type the last block reported by the miner on NiceHash was 20:21:57 ( or started )
and the last block reported by F2Pool 20:21:33 ( or started )

NB  ( new blocks reported by cgminer ) is 36 for NiceHash and 43 for F2Pool

I presumed the NB was  block wise not server wise :D

Could anyone enlighten me why there are these differences please ?

i think you are confused with the difference between litecoin and bitcoin and nicehash and f2pool.
if you are solo mining litecoin on NH of course the blocks will be different then bitcoin on f2pool.

Nice , as though I do not know.

I have several mining rigs  Antminer 1 2 and 3's and work as intended
I know what miner does what  , so you are not correct.

both miners concerned are Scrypt.

Thank you for the reply though :)

Congratulations to 13Yk6o7JLZGZkRDd5EgLanqbvt2UNiCWgj for the NiceHash Solo pool's 10th Bitcoin block!

Best regards,
NiceHash team.

humm can you rent hash rate from nicehash to mine on its own solo mining pools?

Icon

Sure. Actually this feature is built into NiceHash.com itself. Just register, login and then select Account / Blockchain Lottery -> you'll have the option to start solo mining with a single click, no configuration needed.

Best regards,
NiceHash.

is there any way to set the diff manually?

i got some futurebit usb script miners and set them on this pool, but the diff it starts out at is 3m and it takes a good 2 or 3 minutes to find a share..
it eventually drops down to 1m diff, but it takes awhile..

Sure, please see FAQ: https://solo.nicehash.com/faq.htm

yeah i did the -p diff_16 but it doesnt seem to work.
im using bfgminer

Congratulations to 1LfU2HDPq5sa3y2vdhRukZmtEZzk9zPYxY with approximately 10 TH on the latest found block!

Quick question,  what are my earnings likely to be with two S3+ running 480-490ghs each if I sell the hashrate on your website?

Thanks.

If you mine on SOLO pool, you only get all or nothing ;) - if you're lucky you find Bitcoin block and get 25 Bitcoins. If you sell on PPS nicehash.com service, you'll get in average approximately 5% more than direct Bitcoin mining (see https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=stats).

Nice on thanks for the reply  :)

this is for the SOLO pool, but your earnings for NH probably wont be much more then regular bitcoin pool, like kano's

Just found this interesting while looking at my stats.

Hi, Im new user trying solo.nicehash minning. I have a question: If I connect my antminers to solo.nicehash, but I dont buy a ticket lottery, the blocks founds with my antminer are lost?

Lottery tickets, bought at https://www.nicehash.com are not related to your mining with physical hardware. If you buy a ticket at https://www.nicehash.com you're essentially renting hashing power in the background - and this hashing power is directed to the Solo Pool (https://solo.nicehash.com/). If you connect your AntMiners directly to https://solo.nicehash.com/, then you don't have to buy any Tickets (because you already have hashing power from your AntMiners).

Best regards,
NiceHash team.

So, when I was minning here https://solo.nicehash.com/bitcoin/user/15aYxwiVPmHv6BHWqr2JM72RhAfFV8Lcaf.htm you can see in week, when I was minning Sunday 2am to 11am, my antminer said block founds...

Look here

http://oi67.tinypic.com/2hx6rh5.jpg

you have to be active to see your stats..

what was the best share on your worker?
are you renting gear or your own machines?

I own machines, I connect now only s3 antminer for see my stats. Can you see?

15aYxwiVPmHv6BHWqr2JM72RhAfFV8Lcaf   10.3T   12.7T   10.4T   1.43T   1.23T   1,578,476,653.46

best share isnt high enough to have made a block.. so it must have been a glitch in the firmware.
i know my s7 says i find blocks when i mine peercoin.. when i dont.

Hello,

Congratulations to 19cFnWQcdRSW4rgqoTm7nSd9nU1NH1QBWs on the 14th block on NiceHash Solo Bitcoin pool. That makes the first 25 -> 12.5 BTC post-halving block for our Solo pool.

Hi, how can i mine nicehash solo bitcoin

The NiceHash FAQ has some information on getting started with Solo Mining - https://solo.nicehash.com/faq.htm

Hye all. I just want to know if my miner is only got k/h, how much my percentage to earning block of bitcoin.

Thanks

You've got a better chance of stepping in fresh dinosaur crap while being struck by lightning.

So did you mean what im doing is useless right.

Not really useless, but a low-chance high-bet lottery :)

Thats an interesting and probably quite accurate way to put it.

LOL... ok, I'll actually do the math :). Since the question was expressed in hash rate of kh/s, I'll give the median value of 500:
That means you've got about a 1 in 23,982,938,331 chance of finding a block in a day (i.e. 0.0000000041696% chance).  You have a significantly better chance of winning the US Powerball lottery (1 in 292,000,000) than you do of finding a block.

Random luck stats...

Chance of being struck by lightning in a year: 1 in 960,000
Chance of being struck by lightning twice in your life: 1 in 9,000,000
Chance of getting a hole in one: 1 in 5,000
Chance of winning an Olympic medal: 1 in 662,000
Chance of stepping in fresh dinosaur crap: 0 :)

Thanks mate. Just now i can see what u talk about it

A question: can anybody explain the var-diff on nicehash.com? Is a high diff better for rewards? In other words, 20H/s on diff 16 are better than 15H/s on diff 8? It is clearly that 20 are better than 15 but with diff 16, is it much more, equal 2x20 ... or so?

values are only examples.

When solo mining diff means absolutely nothing.  You either submit a share that solves a block, or you do not.  The only reason diff even exists is for your gratification.  It allows you to visually see that your miner is actually doing something.  As a human, what makes you think something is working properly... this:

or a completely blank screen?

You mean the usability or action/reaction of a program, I mean not the output from the miner rather the output from the webinterface:
https://i.imgur.com/wwBjEa3.png Is this Diff-Col obsolete? Hmm

Those statistics are meaningless, except to give you visual reassurance that the miner is working.  In pooled mining, every miner is compensated based upon the work the miner submits.  In variable diff, the pool determines how "difficult" the shares it will accept from the miner are.  It bases this on figuring out how many shares the miner is submitting in a given time frame, and adjusts it according to how many shares the pool wants to accept in that same time frame.

Let's take BTC mining as an example.  A pool wants to get six shares a minute, which translates into expecting to receive one share every 10 seconds.  You have an S9, which hashes at 13TH/s.  You can calculate how many diff 1 shares that miner expects to solve per second based on the following formula:
So, for our S9 at 13TH/s, we can see that it expects to solve 3026.8 diff 1 shares per second.  That's considerably higher than what the pool wants to track, so to compensate, it adjusts the difficulty of the share it will accept from the miner.  As difficulty increases, the number of shares solved per second decreases.  To get to our target value of 0.1 shares per second, we simply solve for difficulty in the above formula:
In this case, the diff would be adjusted to 30268.  This way, every time the miner successfully solves a share of that difficulty or better, the pool records the miner having submitted a share.  The pool will typically constantly adjust that value based upon how many shares the miner actually has submitted during the time period.  If it has gotten more shares than expected, it will increase the difficulty.  If it has gotten fewer, it will decrease it.

All of that data is collected, and when some miner finally does submit a share that actually solves a block, then the pool calculates how to distribute the block reward amongst the miners.  That distribution is based on whatever payout mechanism the pool employs.

That's all well and good for pooled mining, but when you're solo mining, none of it matters.  You can submit a trillion shares and not find a block.  Or, you could submit just a single share and that one solves a block.  No matter how many shares you submit, the only one that will ever matter is the one that solves the block.  When that occurs, the pool will distribute the reward.  Either the pool generates the reward to its own address, then pays out later, or more likely the case in solo mining, the reward is distributed to you as the coinbase transaction.

The values you're seeing in the screenshot you shared are there purely for you.  It's a reassurance that your miner is working by providing a visualization of things.  In the screenshot, the pool has assigned a difficulty of 8 to your worker, and that worker is submitting 15.87 solutions per second.  None of that means anything to the pool, or to the network, or even to your miner.  Only if the miner submits a share that solves a block will you receive anything for your work.

Ah ok, thx for your excellent answer  :)

Hello,

Anyone could help me, please?

So, I have this little USB miner called FutureBit MoonLander and I am trying to mine solo at NiceHash. I set up this in my .bat file


After 10, maybe 20 minutes I got red light from my miner and "Stratum from pool 0 detected new block" communicates. What am I doing wrong?

 https://s22.postimg.org/d3c2a7dsh/IMG_3383.jpg

I can't answer questions specific to that hardware, however, I can answer your question about the message.  When you see the message "Stratum from pool 0 detected new block", that is just the mining software letting you know a new block was added to the chain.  This is completely normal, and completely expected.  Behind the scenes, when the pool notices a block was found, it sends out new work to miners to work on.

From your screenshot, I see a 7.3% HW error rate.  That's exceptionally high for any miner.  Not sure if that's the cause of the red light you're seeing... you'd have to check to see if any documentation is available about your miner to determine what the light means.

Thank you very much for the answer, @jonnybravo0311

http://www2.pic-upload.de/img/32128776/Antminer3.png

Can someone pls explain this to me ? how reliable is the antminer backend ?

unfortunately these futurbit scrypt miners have a pretty high hardware error rate. mine are in the 15-30% range.

they also arent very reliable. they go zombie pretty often and stop mining.. and they only like certain pools.. and this one is NOT one of them..

i told him in the futurebit thread what pool to use for solo mining.. i think he figured it out.

45 chips model frequency should be 700M not 600m  lower the frequency, lower the hash rate

I'm pretty sure the question is more about why it is showing 3 blocks found.  The only explanation I can even think of giving here is that for the very short time your miner was hashing at NH (not solo) it was mining a very low diff alt coin.  It certainly didn't hit a block of BTC.  The highest diff is nowhere near what the BTC network difficulty is.

sorry,

the bottom portion was cut off.... 

Found Block stats probably came from the alt coin mining at NiceHash.  (If you did not intentionally change the frequency to 600M, you may have upgraded the wrong version of the firmware, please check!!)

it wasnt mining at the multipool thats 100% logs of solo even proof that but who cares build my own node now and will point them their its anyway just for fun not profit

Look at your screenshot again.  There was a very short time that your miner was pointed to sha256.eu.nicehash.com.  That is not the solo pool.  It is in the realm of possibility that your miner found 3 low-diff alt-coin blocks during that time.  You certainly didn't even come close to a block of Bitcoin.

2 possible since it's only 2 shares :)
The 3rd was most likely just the fact that Bitmain is unable to count and we've seen for a long time their cgminer hack reporting blocks incorrectly.

Suppose Bitmain's not the only one who can't count, since I stated 3 blocks.  Oops.  I'll go back to drinking my bourbon now...  :P

it was mining the 2 shares right after start up and no blocks have been found in tis time but yes altcoin blocks should explain it what is equaly shitty in my eyes because it means solo nice hash is letting everyone mine nmc or something at the same time but keeping them

bitmains cgminer has a bug that sometimes when a pool sees a new block it counts it as your own.. even if its a backup pool..

also mining off a node from bitmains cgminer is broken.. it wont ever find a block.

Hello, i start minning bitcoins with nice hash and to day i was to be paid but... My wallet is a bitcoin core, i downloaded it to my computer. Somebody can help me?

Hello, i have been solo mining LTC, how come only 150 MH/s shows at nicehash when I am getting 300 MH/s at my miner?

@Nicehash are you guys thinking of adding zcash to your solo pool anytime soon, if not does anyone know a good solo zcash pool to mine at, thanks in advance

peercoin too.. id love a stable ppc solo mining pool.

I've heard various reasons for this but I have never quite gotten it. I get 80Mhs on some of my Ltc miners but I only see 55Mhs on the pool.

Here are my 2 Baikals 150 MH connected to your solo for couple of days. What's up with hashrate?..

So why don't you just mine at tbdice.org, just like me with my A4 Dominator? 4 5 (!!!) LTC blocks during this month......

Yes, I can't see that pic, but i am experiencing the same issues, with the DASH solo pool showing 1/5th of my actual hashrate...is this a flaw? will it be fixed? does it take more than 3 hours for a hash rate to properly show up where anywhere else it takes 15 minutes?

IS it time to stop solo mining here?

thanks!

Looks so. Without any additional comments.

Furthermore, seems that the NOMP-based solo mining have some issues too. I'll try p2pool node in solo mode once I have free time...

I've heard you take 3% from buyers and 3% from sellers. So mining with you means we got less than mining directly or other pools with lower fees?

Wrong, read OP.

Well, what is right then? Your fee is 3% right? I am using you and try to buy from you here. So I want to know

This thread is for SOLO pool and it has only 0.5% fee. Read first post as I said already.

Hi. I have ccminer pointed to stratum+tcp://stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3336 for Dash and it is reporting new blocks found. But the worker is not showing on solo.nicehash.com how dobi know that this is working?

im not seeing a dash block found by this pool for 17 days..

you do know that solo nicehash does not pay for shares.. you will get the whole block reward only if YOU find the block yourself.

Thanks Aaron. Yes I know. What I meant to ask is, is there a way to know if a worker is connected to the server till a full block is solved?

you can see all the users mining on the pool.. currently only 7

Yes I can see too. My dash address is not in the list... so something wrong from my end I guess...

I am getting in excess of 500MH/s (guiminer and 2 nos 7790) but the workers are not showing...

Hello,

A bit late, but still: a couple of weeks ago our Bitcoin Solo Pool solved it's 20th block - and the first block to signal our SegWit support ;)

Congratulations to 17nGH71Axs9da7WnA453XMhJ1LvcFxnRrz for solving this 20th block!

Keep on hashing!


Best regards,
NiceHash team.

@nicehash , so im having issues connecting all my ASICs , t9 and Baikal cubes to your pool, can you check of my IP is banned or something ?

also can nicehash switch between algo types for the baikal similar to how miningpool hub does, bascially switching automatically to the most profitable at the time

Hi, I was wondering how long do payments take to hit the wallets once they have been removed from our Nicehash balance?

I haven't received my payment this morning but my balance on Nicehash was 0'ed at the expected time of the payment.

Edit: I received the payment 1 minute after posting this. Thank you.

Hello pool admin, I am segwit dev. I would like to confirm if your pool has completely upgraded to 0.13.2. There is a checklist here and please make sure you are ready before segwit is activated. Feel free to contact me for support. Thanks!

Nice work. I'll give this a try for my old gridseed 5 chip as a test/for fun. I think I tried it before for BTC, but might be worth setting up for LTC aswell.

dash solo is back online but how do i manually set diff?
password i wrote diff_ xxxxxx
whatever number i wrote when i run it's still stated 0.0024 diff

mindifficulty is 0.00244140625,

multiply the desired difficulty by 65536, and use that in password. (0.01 diff -> diff_655 , 0.23 diff -> diff_15073, etc)

Does anyone know if the solo Dash pool is functioning correctly? Can't seem to connect on my end.

Tell me why NICEHASH stopped working solo pool? I would really like to dash Dash into solo. What is the reason for stopping the work of solo pools?
