Title: Who's mining Nervos CKB eaglesong on NiceHash successfully?
Post by: VoskCoin on April 17, 2020, 06:03:47 PM
I tried connecting my bitmain antminer K5 today, but its having connection issues.

Summary of the issue is it bounces from insane (and inaccurate profitability) to $0 earnings

Also for anyone curious, my bitmain antminer k5 earned $95 USD in the first full seven days of mining

I elaborate in extended detail in this thread along with more supporting screenshots

Same problem here, I quit and went back to CKB.  NiceHash would be nice if it gets fixed.

I ended up getting in touch with them yesterday, they’re going to do some tests and see if they can fix the issue. They’re aware of it but apparently do not have access to a K5 to fix the issue(s)

But yeah I agree, I don’t like the lack of us citizen exchange support with CKB currently

Hello, everyone,

you will give us an update on this. Has anyone had success with eaglesong mining on nicehash?
The algo can be chosen at least.
But I would be interested in your experience with profitability.

Can mining of such irrelevant and little-known currencies really be beneficial?

You should let Nicehash team be aware of this, they always fix problems quickly than any other miner software out there, they listen to users complains, I bet they don't know, but sooner they will fix the problem

The Bitmain Antminer K5 cannot mine long-term on NiceHash because it does not support extranonce or #xnsub, which basically is what allows them to bounce the miner between different hashrate orders. This is why the miner will connect for a short period of time, but is unstable, along with the earnings.

To be clear this is a lack of support of extranonce via Bitmains Antminer K5 firmware, and not an issue w/ NH
