Don't think AMD does as well as Nvidia. Here is the Nexus AMD miner by Wolf0.

OP's value's way off.. gpu pool has a calculator now : nxspool.ru

Enter ur hash and find out.

Solo mining NXS.
They just created a pool and getting most people to mine on their pool, and strangely mining solo is FAR more profitable now.
8-9 blocks per day with 900-950 MHS.
Thinking of getting another couple rigs..

I've been solo mining NXS with a GTX 1080 and 1070 getting 320 MH/s and averaging a block every two days. Definitely not bad, but nowhere near the OP profitability claim.

I don't believe in such indicators. I think it's fake. Solo mining is good, but too big probability that you will not earn anything. It seems to me that it is better to join a pool of reliable and guaranteed to have a reward. Now we see a General downward trend in profitability of production so there is no point to waste time on such ventures.

There is some kind of profittability calculator ?

These guys are aware of this post and are talking on slack about trying to debunk that nexus is profitable because they're worried about the influx of new miners will hurt their profitability

Look at date on miner 9/20/17 then go check price of nexus on that day.
1 rig. 111 nexus. Times that by nexus price on that day. >300 usd I believe


Watch out for guys trying to say it's not profitable, they're just trying to stay greedy and keep it for themselves.

But anyways at 936MHS - 4.2 blocks in 1 day 15 hours (2nd screenshot) is not 8-9 blocks a day as you said. If you make 8-9 blocks a day with 900-950MHS a single 1080 can make 1.8 - 2 blocks a day and it's not possible on average.

have all the pools shut down? I tried to download and install the blockchain but keep getting errors when starting wallet so im having to sync from scratch. Cant solo until wallet is fully syncd. Looking for a pool for now.

nexuspool.ru

Trying this pool for about 15 mins and no stats showing up. Not sure im even mining anything at this rate.

no im using the solo wolf miner because i couldnt get a working configuration....u mind posting yours

After quite a bit of search, is it not possible to mine this on Linux?

They have a guide for both windows and linux on how to set-up solo mining. You can read more here https://nxsforum.com/topic/55/how-to-enable-solo-mining

And find miners here http://www.nexusearth.com/mining.html

The wallet runs fine but Nvidia source code is like 3 years old and does not compile.

Try this link for a newer miner source code https://www.dropbox.com/s/epbqsmcq47e4v62/SKMinerV1.0.zip?dl=0.  This link was pinned in the nexus slack.  SKMiner v1.0 created by "nobody".

I tried with a 6x 1080ti rig for 22 hours, and got zero blocks solo mining.  1312 MH/s

Oh well, it was worth a shot.

Exactly.. people are dreaming if they think they'll get 8-9 blocks per day with 1 MH/s.  At nexuspool.ru there's a calculator you guys can use to see an accurate estimate of what you should expect to earn per day.

Solo mining NXS is a bit like playing the lottery unless you have a lot of hash.  If you wanna take a gamble then go for the solo mining, you may get lucky.  If you want steady payouts use the pool though.

With your 1312 MH/s solo mining you might go 4-5 days without hitting a block, or you may get lucky and hit like 4 in a day.  On average though you'd probably hit 1 block per day.

The thing is, if/when nexuspool goes down, diff goes down dramatically and you get to instamine a dozen blocks in short period of time. Look at the diff of OP's screenshots.
But that ship has sailed now that everyone is soloing and sp_ released an optimized mod.

Hmm, I have:

2 rigs with 8x 1080Ti
1 rig with 4x 1080Ti
1 rig with 5x 1070
1 rig with 6x 1050Ti

They are all mining ZEC on MPH doing 17,500 KH/s combined pulling in about 0.3 ZEC a day (and ZEC is down 7.5% for the week).

Maybe I should swing them over to solo mining NXS to see how it goes.

I'm running nvOC (linux) on my rigs though, so I'm not sure how big of a pain it would be coax them into mining NXS...

Why don't you use them into mining XMR's rather than Zcash? I'm earning at least $1 to 2$ with my 2x 1080ti on my own mining rig.

Well, if solo mining makes profit then pool mining should be good as well. But if we can't earn that much at pool mining , then solo profit is just lucky.

Decided to mine NXS on that pool just for fun. It went quite well for the first day or two (nothing out of the ordinary, profits in line with the calculator), but then I started to drop hashrate for some reason. I think the pool started to disconnect. Miner kept restarting... So I quit for now.

I'm going to give it a shot. I never did solo mining so far. So few questions, I download the wallet, sync it up and run miner. But where to configure my payout address? In the miner itself like we do in pools or it's automatically deducts the wallet address that is installed in the system ?

If you want to solo miner then check post #5 in this thread for instructions https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2291865.msg23261786#msg23261786.  You mine directly to your wallet, you don't have to put an address anywhere.

Be prepared to not hit a block for a very long time solo mining unless you have a lot of hash power.

Thanks mate!! I have 8X1070 and I was hitting 240MHps in ETH. I probably will hit around 500MHps here I think. I'll try it out tonight and let know my luck lol

Anyone can put here the config for mine Neox please?

I try really with both pools eu/us, and i can join in the pool, but the miner restart 2sec after joining in the pool!

I try also different miners (wolf0, SKminer, solo and pool)

Only with the eu/us pool .ru is connected, but after connect restart ...and this every 2sec!

"Important! If you encounter infinite "timeout loop" please consider updating nvidia drivers".

with 4 1080ti (953mh/s) better to mine in the pool or go solo?

Did you update to latest Nvidia drivers? I'm mining right now at us pool with skminer without problem.

This is from there website:

Yesterday I had problems connecting to the pool. I was connected but after I joined the mining pool went in a regular mode. Probably this was due to the overflow of the pool. But I think that $ 100 a day to install 6 GPU I think it's fake. I don't believe in such indicators.

it's not fake, when the pool goes down, the diff goes down dramatically, so during that time frame if you're solo mining you get to instamine some blocks. Look at the diff on the screenshots its only 98, while usually the diff moves from 4-7k

Thanks for your information! Can you tell me how much GTX 1060 3GB can hash? Thanks!

For one, the miner you linked is the POOL version. This is the miner I use to solo mine.

Otherwise the block you found was already submitted by another miner before you did (orphan).

Minting Channels
Prime (CPU), Hashing (GPU), and Nexus Proof of Stake (nPOS)

Block Time
300 seconds for Hashing minting channel and 300 seconds for Prime minting Channel for an average of 150 seconds
60 seconds for nPOS

Block Reward
Prime and Hashing Minting Channels: The effective reward is established by the reserve balances. These reserves have a decayed amount deposited every time interval of one minute. If the balance is below a given threshold, the reward value will be based on a time’s value of a decayed amount. This means that the reward will be given based on how long it was taken to create the block. This prevents the reserves from being depleted as large amounts of computing power jump on and off the mining network.

nPOS Minting Channel: The effective reward is an annual interest rate that ranges between 0.5 and 3.0% annually.

Minting Difficulty
The miner’s difficulty is calculated by a proportion generated from the time it took to create the block, and the target time. The target time is calculated by the NXS Reserves working to deflate the difficulty if the reserves go over a threshold. This is designed to maintain transaction processing in the loss of computing power to given channel, by aiding in the reduction of the difficulty to a more suited level.

I think it's a problem with how the miner and wallet display solo mining shares. The miner shows the share was found (block) and the wallet shows the block was submitted, but the transaction was never confirmed because it was an orphan. If you check the transaction list in the wallet there should be no transaction listed.

So I connect few other rigs to same wallet. Is there way how to monitor my whole hashrate in the wallet? I can't find any usefull commands for debug window. And Also I'm facing problem when my second rig found block, not the one running wallet, it stop all the other rigs... They found today just 1 block so maybe it's one time problem.

I don't think that's possible to monitor whole hashrate in the wallet.  Using the pool (nexuspool.ru) will help alleviate the problems that many face while solo mining.  At the pool you can view your actual hashrate that is being accepted by the network.

Yeah, but I can mine block per day with 6x 1060 3GB, on the pool I can't mine 11 NXS with this power. I like solo mining, but I've never tried it before so I'm experimenting. Do you know where are sources for Nexus pool I'm thinking about starting mine own private pool that should solve my problems.

can you give me some estimates of hahsrate / TDP on this coin for 1070 and 1080ti?   

Not exactly sure what 1070 gives, but 1080ti msi armor gives ~255 mh/s at 70% TDP, mem -1000, core +140

1070 might be somewhere around 140-150 with similar settings.

MrKhan, have u tested? Our side, testing for ~1 hour. No block(s) so far. Perhaps next 24 hours can see some positive progress.

with the calculator 500mh does 8 coins day, so is not profitable anymore or just solo mining but i guess now is hard

You are averaging a block / day for how long?  What hashrate do you get with 1060's?  You shouldn't get more solo mining than at the pool in the long run.  It's just you have been lucky in the short term with your solo mining.  You will go days without hitting a block solo mining for sure.

The pool is not open source yet, but the developer says he will open it up once he cleans the code up.

You can join the NXS slack if you want to talk to the pool dev.  He hangs out in the mining channel there.  http://nexusearth.com/slack.html

I was testing it with 6x 1060 3GB at 486MH/s for 3 days I found 2 blocks and 1 probably orphaned... Now I've connected 3 rigs with total of 12x 1060. Together doing almost 1100MH/s, yesterday it found 1 block, today 2 blocks, but strange is the rig with 6x 1060 and running wallet didn't find any block since then, I hope it's only bad luck. I give it few more days and if it won't found any block only those 2 other rigs I will move the wallet to another machine and connect those 3 rigs to the wallet running on new machine. The pool would really make it more easy for me.
