Title: Asking help about Asic miner and Nicehash.
Post by: H3nk on August 20, 2017, 12:16:22 PM
Good day to you all, few days ago, I met a bloke, who's selling hash power @ nicehash.com, and his rig consists of an Nvidia GTX 1070, and he's doing not too bad...
So of course it got me interested, and they also support Scrypt mining, I've got a 1 Ths Sino Sigma Asic miner, but it's a bit of "ancient", hence it doesn't seem to connect, when I use stratum+tcp://scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333
A bummer like, nicehash has got a support page:
https://new.nicehash.com/asic-mining
They're on about extranonce.subscribe support for example.
But I'm afraid that Sino Sigma is some kind of a run off the mill outfit, for that reason Googling doesn't really fill in the blanks..

This is a copy/paste of the miner's home page, so it's a bit basic, so to speak.

Anyway, if someone has this rig, and could point me out in the right direction, I'd be delighted! ;D

You are trying to connect a SHA256 (Bitcoin) miner to a Scrypt pool - the algos DO NOT MATCH and that's not going to work.

From what I can determine, your miner is a variation on the old LKetc "Dragon" design using the Innosilicon A1 chip.
 Fairly old, highly inefficient by current standards, going to lose money on it by running it unless you have FREE electric.
