@Nicehash staff, I think you are abusing of the stratum method "client.reconnect". Why are you sending this? Is it really needed? It adds trouble to the stratum/tcp connection and some extra delays.
Reconnects are needed, because the stratum protocol does not implement a way to change special extranonce parameters except for on first connection. Switching between other pool's relays requires changing these parameters. You can use the patches or patched compiled cgminer that nicehashdev has posted and are available on git. This implements a new command in the stratum protocol so that the reconnects are not necessary. True, you can simply download pacthed cgminer and sgminer binaries here: https://www.nicehash.com/software and you'll get rid of these issues and better performance on NiceHash (and the same performance on other pools as if you would be using other non-nicehash cgminer/sgminer builds). BTW: Some pools ignores connection from our extended cgminer and sgminer. We added an option to disable these "advanced features" for pools not supporting this features. One of these pools is CoinFu. Just add "no-extranonce-subscribe" : true to the pool config for pools, that doesn't support extranonce-subscribe Example: {
"name" : "NiceHash Scrypt",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3333",
"user" : "btc_address",
"pass" : "x",
"algorithm" : "scrypt",
"nfactor" : "10"
},
{
"name" : "CoinFu",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://pool.coinfu.io:3333",
"no-extranonce-subscribe" : true,
"user" : "myrig_btc_address",
"pass" : "myemail",
"algorithm" : "scrypt",
"nfactor" : "10"
} |

Something goofy going on with that build.
I am running sgminer 4.1.271 and decided to give your build a shot since I have been hashing with NiceHash the last day or so. I have a set price point with NiceHash being the first pool in my conf file with CoinFu the first failover (as of this morning), followed by Wafflepool, and Clevermining.
For some reason, using the same conf file in the same c:\SGMiner directory, this executable completely skips CoinFu and goes directly to Wafflepool. If I remove all other pools except CoinFu, it just sits at the "awaiting active pool" prompt.
Y'all got something against the CoinFu folks or something?
I have this same issue as well. I can't even manually switch to CoinFu using NiceHash's sgminer version on Linux. I reverted back to the original sgminer bin and was able to switch to CoinFu just fine. What gives? We'll take a look. Obviously CoinFu rejects our stratum protocol extension, I'm sure we'll be able to fix this. Thanks for feedback. Update: you can solve this easily with pool config. Just add "no-extranonce-subscribe" : true to the CoinFu pool config {
"name" : "NiceHash Scrypt",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3333",
"user" : "btc_address",
"pass" : "x",
"algorithm" : "scrypt",
"nfactor" : "10"
},
{
"name" : "CoinFu",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://pool.coinfu.io:3333",
"no-extranonce-subscribe" : true,
"user" : "myrig_btc_address",
"pass" : "myemail",
"algorithm" : "scrypt",
"nfactor" : "10"
}Please try and report if it works OK. BTW: yesterday we released newer builds with some minor bugfixes: https://www.nicehash.com/software/ |

Scrypt: 2.10 GH/s @ 3.84 BTC/GH/Day
I'm all scrypt and I have 30 Mhs - so - what could I earn/day selling you my hash?
Pretty simple ... 30 * 3.84/1000 = 0,1152 BTC per day at current rate (3.84 BTC/GH/Day). |

what was the nature and reason for the patch - I've been using cgminer and love it because it's got a monitoring api
To add better support for NiceHash stratum severs for better efficiency. If you have good experience with any existing cgminer build for gridseeds that is working fine with NiceHash, please let me know which one are you using. any reason to switch to cpuminer for my seeds and blades?
No. Who is talking about cpuminer anyway? |

I would rather prefer if payments (for providers) be made only once per day. With the current rates, having payments 4 times per day only produces dust (or near-dust) for 98% of the miners (that is, everyone apart from the top 15 miners with huge hashrates), and so we will all end up paying huge tx fees for using those btc in the future. kenshirothefist, would changing that be something you could consider? Thanks for all the rest of the good work!  This has already been explained in the past. Payments are sent in a single transaction for all miners, thus the transaction fee is negligible. Furthermore, transaction fees for outgoing payments are covered by NiceHash and are included in the NiceHash 2% service fee (all costs are covered in the 2% service fee). We want the providers to be paid fast, that's why we want to keep multiple payments per day. Anyway, isn't that the whole point of Bitcoin - to make a quick and seamless currency flow?  |

What do you mean? Cudaminer is trying every 15 seconds and failing, what can I possibly do to force it to connect?
We've forced some DDoS rules that might ban some of the legit users, unfortunately. We're being hit by smart DDoS with fake miners and we have to fine tune our filter to not ban the legit miners. Please, send me you IP to PM, we'll investigate why your IP is banned. Thanks! |

when can we use cgminer with nicehash? my hosted miners at gawminers.com is showing 100% reject rate
Now that we've fixed GPU-based sgminer and cgminer compatibility ( https://nicehash.com/software/) we'll focus on GridSeed as well as on other ASIC miners (A2 Miners, Zeus miners, Lunal Lander, KnC Titan, Alpha Viper, etc.). Source code is ready, we just have to patch some of the popular forks (like https://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355). We'll also make sure that hosting providers will use mining software that is supported with NiceHash (we're in contact with hosting providers). Stay tuned. |
|
|

I'd like to contact David Bartley (dtbartle), the author of CGMiner 3.7.2 with GridSeed GC3355 support ( https://github.com/dtbartle/cgminer-gc3355). Does anybody know if he is a member of this (or any other) forum? I would like to ask him if he could include some additional patches. |

Important note for all sellers - providersAfter extensive internal testing we can finally provide you with our own sgminer and cgminer builds. As you probably already know, NiceHash is using some advanced stratum protocol features, therefore older mining software is not supported. We have prepared optimized sgminer and cgminer builds for you to get optimum performance when mining with GPUs on NiceHash. Of course, these builds will also work equally optimal on other pools. Our builds includes patch for seamless order swaping without interupts, the idle bugfix as well as some other minor impovements. Get the software here: https://nicehash.com/software/Please, download our sgminer or cgminer binaries and please report if it is working well for you. We will apprechiate any feedback!On our software download page you will also find links to latest BFGMiner builds with good GridSeed support (BFGminer 3.99.0) - hopefully Hashra and others will include the latest BFGminer in their software builds as soon as possible. Thank you for using NiceHash!

Well if you read my post, you'll see that I mined at another pool to verify that my hardware and software were fine. It is a problem with Nicehash not playing nice with Hashra Controlla.
Please verify that you're using the Hashra Controlla version with BFGMiner. The latest version supports scrypt only (bfgminer), SHA-256 (cgminer) only or dual-mining mode (cpuminer + cgminer), and since cpuminer and cgminer3.7.2 is not supported with NiceHash, you should run the scrypt-only version with BFGMiner. If you can, please verify that your using the version with bfgminer and please report if you had any success, any feedback is appreciated. Thanks! |

There are some decent paying Scrypt-A-Nfactor orders ... if you have Scrypt-A-Nfactor you can get some good payouts, check here: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?a=2 and point your miner to stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3335 We advice you to use multi-algorithm configuration (if you're using latest sgminer) "pools" : [ { "name" : "NiceHash Scrypt-A.-Nfactor", "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3335", "user" : "myBTCaddress", "algorithm" : "nscrypt", "nfactor" : "11" }, { "name" : "NiceHash Scrypt", "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3333", "user" : "myBTCaddress", }, { "name" : "mybackuppool", "url" : "stratum+tcp://mybackuppool", "user" : "myBTCaddress", "pass" : "x" } ] , "kernel" : "zuikkis", ... etc ... |

Quick info: we've updated beta version of sgminer that adds extranonce1 feature when switching orders, you are welcome to test it and please report any issues to nicehashdev: https://github.com/bitbandi/sgminer/. Thanks for help! |
|
|
|
|
Short info for buyers: we've improved compatibility with many popular pools (such as ipominer.com, manicminer.in, chunkypools.com, miningpoolhub.com, etc.) therefore all orders using the most popular pools should work flawlessly. If you do have some issues with some specific pool, please do not hesitate to let me know about the issues via PM. Thanks!

Anyway, I have been trying to be helpful.
Of course we respect yor help, shareing ideas, etc.! It's also natural that we can't agree on each and every topic discussed here, therefore it's better to discusss some specific issues via PM. Thanks you all guys for your feedback, we'll try to do our best to provide the best possible service to sellers & providers. And also keep in mind that our service is still young and we're probably not getting enough sleep for the last couple of days |
