So do I edit all my .bat files with EWBF?.. or just one? I've heard some just want to mine on Flypool only. I've currently edited all of them/ supernova, nicehash, nanopool, etc,.. to my wallet.. Just making sure its ok. Thanks!
You just need to put your address into the Flypool file and then start it. |

Regarding the above view. Is there a way to have all my rigs show up on one browser using the API command?
I did some quick testing to see what I could come up with, and for my setup it works OK. <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body style="background-color:#000000;">
<iframe src="http://IP.OF.RIG.1:42000" height="350" width="900" style="border:none;">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>
<iframe src="http://IP.OF.RIG.2:42000" height="350" width="900" style="border:none;">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>
</body>
</html>
Edit the IP.OF.RIG.X, save as "whatever-you-want.html" and see if it fits your needs Copy/paste the iframe block to add more rigs <iframe src="http://IP.OF.RIG.X:42000" height="350" width="900" style="border:none;">
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe>
EDIT: This only works if you have actually added the API line in the startup file for your miner. --api ip.of.rig.1:42000 - the actual IP and not letting it default to 127.0.0.1 for local access only. And for remote rigs, you will need to use the external IP and set up port forwarding to get it to show EDIT 2: You may want to change the 350 limit on height - running a few rigs with only 2 cards each, so rigs with more then 2 cards may need some more space then that. Thanks @Red_Yoda for the suggestion earlier in the thread here Disclaimer - I'm running this on a 1080x1920 monitor (i.e flipped to portrait mode) so I get the rigs listed separately one after the other, pretty much like the original API shows them. - If I'm opening the html file on one of my 1920x1080 landscape screens or my 2K / 4K screens they show up next to each other until the top row is filled and then the next one(s) show up on next row. This can be adjusted by increasing the width to a larger number if you would prefer them listed one by one under each other. thanks to you !! this works wonderfully! this is exactly what I searched for thank you !  Switch to Flypool. Nanopool underpays for Zcash. |

There is no good reason. Litecoin doesn't offer anything new, and it failed to achieve one of its main goals (ASIC resistance). The vast majority of people who buy Litecoin lose bitcoins in the long run.  |

I"ve switched my 2 gtx1060*9 rigs from ETH to zcash, I use miningpoolhub to auto exchange zcash to bitcoin.
I recommend using Flypool and sending to Bittrex to auto-sell. You'll likely make more than on MiningPoolHub. |

Wait. Difficulty reflects reward share of single miner to overall emission. If we have 20% difficulty increase each month over last 5 months, now miners get only 48% of emissed eth.
WHO TAKES THE REST 52% OF MINED ETH NOW? VITALICK?
Jesus dude, no one gets those "secret coins" as they do not exist. One could argue that the Ethereum devs are effectively getting more coins because their relative holdings are increasing (or decreasing at a slower rate, to be pedantic). Either way, this is a win for Eth devs and a loss for miners. |

But for a coin to go mainstream........it will have ASICs no? Whenever there is money to be made, you know someone is going to go after that money.
i'm just playing devil's advocate here
Ethereum, Monero, and Zcash are mainstream cryptos that don't have ASICs. These cryptocurrencies use algorithms that are designed to be ASIC resistant, but it's plausible to me that ASICs or FPGAs could be developed. However, these cryptocurrenices employ another layer of ASIC resistance: the promise of switching algorithms if ASICs are developed (or moving to proof of stake in the case of Etheruem). This second layer of ASIC resistance is actually more important than the inherent resistance of the algorithm. I believe that it is sufficient to ward off ASIC development. The developers behind Litecoin and Dash did not implement this strategy, which is why both coins are failed projects in my book. |

There are a lot of reasons.
ASICs turn mining into a compulsorily commercial endeavor rather than a potentially casual endeavor. For instance, take Siacoin. A lot of people are mining it during their free time on their gaming computers or perhaps even a 6-GPU mining rig that they keep in their basement. Once the ASICs come out, the only thing that can mine them are $2,500 computers that can do nothing else. Miners who bought ASICs are going to sell everything they mine, whereas a lot of gamers and casual miners hold for speculation and simply for fun.
ASICs change the risk profile for mining. With GPU mining, someone can start mining without taking on excessive risks. If the coin crashes, they can sell their GPUs to gamers or mine something else. On the other hand, the profitability of an ASIC is intimately tied to the price of a coin. Buying an ASIC is therefore much more speculative than buying a GPU, and highly speculative investments are less attractive than less speculative alternatives.
ASICs are industrial units rather than retail units like GPUs. They do not belong in homes and are thus off limits to the vast majority of people. This contravenes the goal of decentralization that most crypocurrencies endorse.
Another reason is that reputable companies like Nivida, Intel, AMD, IBM, ASUS, and Gigabyte are not developing ASICs. Instead, we have sketchy companies like Bitmain, Ibelink, and Baikal.
Finally, most altcoins are developed with the goal of ASIC resistance. As soon as an ASIC comes out, it implies that the developers were incompetent in achieving their stated goals. It also makes the coin uninteresting because an advantage it had over bitcoin (ASIC resistance) is gone.
So, yes, ASICs are bad in most cases. It's very hard for me to see a future for ASIC coins (other than Bitcoin, of course).

I came across this post as I was trying to figure out why none of my nicehash shares reflect on zec.suprnova.cc
I'm not going to labor the point but I experienced the exact same thing as described in this post. I bought around 4.5MH from Nicehash for an hour, and the order successfully kicked off and showed shares being submitted. I could see my hashrate reflecting on the suprnova dashboard, I could see my estimated earnings reflect (initially as 1.3 ZEC), then the estimated earnings started dropping and eventually went to zero. The pool isn't showing any sign that I ever allocated any mining power, no transactions, no earnings ... yet real time I could see that my shares were being picked up. I did contact suprnova this morning via the "Contact" option on their website, but no reply as yet.
So in my case, that little experiment cost me 0.075 Bitcoin.
To the pool owner, the following comments:
- The ZEC suprnova home page and landing pages all show the following: "For Nicehash use zec-eu.suprnova.cc:2143", so that is exactly what I used when I configured my order in Nicehash (along with my username and password obviously). That comment (to me) indicated that the pool caters for Nicehash orders specifically, as in it is a good idea to use this pool for Nicehash orders.
- If there are known issues with running Nicehash orders against this pool, or if that comment only applies to the Nicehash miner and not purchased hashpower, then at least clarify or remove that comment from your landing page. ...or state on your homepage that Nicehash orders against the pool are not supported, or might experience issues, or something to that effect.
- I understand Nicehash is involved, and the pool is involved, and I am involved, so it is difficult to figure out technically what happened. However, I can see that Nicehash is still correctly reflecting the times and hashpower, I know that suprnova was reflecting the hashpower correctly and was showing the same hashrate as Nicehash when the order kicked off (I checked before I left the order to run and complete), the only issue is that suprnova has since "forgotten" that I ever existed. It's difficult to believe the issue is somewhere other than the pool.
- Never mind log files, just compare the rewards paid to the pool to the earnings you allocated for the last 24 hours. There should be a nice big "hole" of at least 1.3 ZEC there (or more?)
Did the pool find a block while or shortly after you were mining? If it didn't find a block, then you wouldn't get paid with PPLNS. |

I honestly don't know what you mean when you say ' NONE of the coins of nice hash are publicly traded" ...  ? Nicehash does not have their own coins, they act as the middle man for Joe Public to buy hashing power from miners and point that hashing power at the coins that Joe Public wants. If you check this link there are over 50 different coins you can buy hashing power for, they are all publicly traded. https://www.nicehash.com/buyoh there so much more than a middle man lol, they buy and sell hashing power, but they also have there own coins and pools when you go on whattomine.com and see any coin that has -nicehash is there own coin and is not publicly traded, you will NOT find it on ANY crypto exchange mmk, the buying and selling of hash power is only a portion of what makes up nicehash. You clearly don't understand how NiceHash works. They do not have their own coins. They pay out in Bitcoins from buyers who are placing orders for hashing power. Ultimately, mining on NiceHash is more efficient than mining on a pool, so it will pay better for most miners. |

pretty sure you calculated wrong. Nicehash by definition has to pay out less than just mining for yourself or they get no margin at all. Think about it.
No, you're wrong. Buyers frequently pay more than what hashing power is worth. The reason they do this is that they know hashing power is more valuable at certain points (e.g., immediately after a pool has found a block). Second, NiceHash allows miners to switch algorithms quickly based on profitability. This is especially important for Nvidia owners, because Equihash often spikes in profitability at certain points in the day (up to 40%). You'd miss out on that by mining Etheruem only. (Conversely, you'd be mining on high difficulty times if you mine Equihash only.) Third, altcoins tend to go down relative to Bitcoin over the long run. NiceHash allows you to get paid for altcoin mining while the altcoins are worth more in Bitcoins. Finally, NiceHash's fees are often lower when you consider that pool miners pay software developer fees, pool fees, pool withdrawal fees, and exchange fees (e.g., Bittrex charges .001 Ethereum per deposit). NiceHash is much better for Nvidia cards. It's still debatable for AMD cards, but it's becoming more profitable as Etheruem goes down relative to other altcoins. |

I use Nicehash since the beginning with .bats and command lines (since 2014, I guess), very reliable team and now with a very nice user friendly miner program, awesome job.
I read old post, and if you can explain to me, why is nicehash better? I'm begginer  I see the both services give money, Minergate give more opportunity for altcoin, and Nicehash just pay you in BTC, right? NiceHash gives much higher hashrates. Minergate seems to give less than you'd expect from a card. |

Just mine your coins directly and avoid Nicehash. You are losing alot of money to them due to fees.
Is Nicehash really that bad? Opinions on them appear to differ depending on who you ask. NiceHash is really good, especially for smaller operations. It's very hard to chase the most profitable coins by mining on pools if you don't have a bunch of rigs because by the time you're able to cash out, exchange rates will have changed and the difficulty will rise while you're mining. With NiceHash, you get paid per share, so you reap the results of price pumps instantly and with no risk. Their fees are very low for pay per share too, and they save you the cost and time of having to exchange your altcoins. Are you a Nicehash rep? For people who have a gaming rig with 1 or 2 gpu's that they want to put to work while they sleep or go to work/school, it'll be less of a hassle and about equally profitable to use nicehash. They don't have to deal with exchanges, no settings of pools, not chasing the best coin and switching algo's several times per day etc. I don't use Nicehash and it has been a while since I used it since I'm a full time miner now, but there's definitely a market for NHM. That is me, using my gaming computer to earn some extra coin, and I tried using the farming for ETH and Decred and then having to go through different exchange rates etc and in the end I found that Nicehash actually is more money for me and less hassle to exchange etc. NiceHash often pays more. It allows you to instantly switch between different coins even for the same algorithm. For Dagger, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Ubiq, Musiccoin, and Expanse are at various times the most profitable. For Equihash, it's Zcash, Zclassic, Hush, and Zen. And then there are other algorithms like Neoscrypt, Lyra, and Cryptonight, all of which have multiple coins. If you're trying to chase these coins by mining on a pool, it's a hassle and will likely fail anyway. |

I think the issue is that Suprnova uses a very short "N" value for PPLNS calculations on ZEC. This makes the results extremely variable. If the N value were increased, payouts would be much less variable, but it would take longer to get your coins.
Anyway, it's very possible for your shares to be worth nothing with PPLNS. It's also common for them to be worth 2 or 3x as much (or more). It all depends on luck.

I am in your same situation. I've mined the pool through a nicehash rental contract. Mined for 3 hours straight , which was almost half the time of the round ( 7:40 hours) . OK, I know that it was a long round and that the PPNLS payout system was going to affect the payout , but to receive ZERO , when I contributed that much to the round seems pretty impossible. I am a beginner BUT I do not like to point fingers. Before writing here I tried to contact Suprnova, 1) via their support webmail form, 2) directly sending an email to the email on their website, 3) sent a message on Twitter, 4) sent a PM via this forum to Ocminer. I waited 4 days and I've received NO RESPONSE , ZERO, NADA. I may be wrong and what happened might be totally in line with the mining activity. If you look at the stats of the round you can see my worker (pakal) as being the 4th highest contributor in terms of shares. How is it possible that I mined 240,254,387 shared and NOT A SINGLE ONE was accounted as a PPNLS share !?!?!!? BUT I have received no response at all, and for this reason I feel I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED. Ocminer may be a respected member of this forum, and Suprnova a legit pool, but until I will receive an explanation of why I have been denied roughly 200$ worth of payout I'd consider Suprnova a SCAM BUSINESS. BEWARE before you engage in any mining activity with Suprnova. These are the proof of my mining activity taken from the Suprnova Dashboard   You likely mined during an unlucky period. Suprnova didn't find a block while your shares were among the shares being considered for the block reward. The pool's average block time is almost two hours, so it's not unusual to have a round over three hours. I don't think there's any foul play here. |

Suprnova and OCMiner are very reputable.
What happened is that you simply got unlucky. Suprnova's ZEC pool has a high block time, which means you need to mine there for a long time (at least 12 hours) if you don't want luck to excessively influence your reward.

Ethereum. Easy choice.
Dash strikes me as a scam, Doge strikes me as a joke, and LTC seems like it will be used more as a currency than as an appreciating asset.
So Ether/Ethereum is the clear winner. Also, I think Etehreum is a great investment, period (not just compared to other cryptocurrencies but compared to all types of assets).
