I have not found any decent alternatives. I will share what I have converted over to for the time being and hope it helps someone. My solution for now is as follows:
My rigs run the equihash algo very efficiently. For this reason I have chosen to mine bitcoin gold and electroneum. I am using the suprnova pool. Pool stability has been good and I like the low fees. I have been using ccminer software and I feel it is the easiest option to setup and configure. Also, I have found most of the downloads for it are free from malware.
You may want to forgo the electroneum coin. I consider myself very technical when it comes to all things IT. I am a new to average user when it comes to cryptocurrency . The wallet is very difficult and I am not sure I can gain access to my original one. I have made a 2nd wallet with a gui implementation and so far I am still able to access that one. So if you like a challenge then give this a shot.
We tried Suprnova and other BTG pools and always had issues with the payout amounts, which always seemed to disagree with their own calculators. That's why we stopped mining it. Electroneum is based on CryptoNight, not Equihash  Not sure about desktop wallet(if there's one), but paper wallet can be generated in seconds and extremely easy from their official site: https://downloads.electroneum.com/- no technical knowledge required. @cryptokrazy- Try electroneum.vip pool, it worked great for me over the weekend(unlike the official pool which wasted my time and hashing power). |

i have Baikal A2000, i need some service like NiceHash with easy to setup. After NiceHash down i can't find to coin with profit like Nicehash
i mine Deeponion with X13
What is the best coin to mine with Baikal A2000 right now?
I started mining DeepOnions with my Baikals as well. X13 was the most profitable algo on Nicehash for them as well. Which pool do you use? Started using https://onionpool.youngwebsolutions.com. Let me know if you know of a better pool. I didn't know of any onion pools, thanks |

There is another option,its...... https://computta.com/?ref=121254. Its beter than nicehash. There smart mining option is really great. Can be a good migration from Nicehash. Some features like, selecting your hardware is missing, I have made that suggestion to them. There is always way for improvement. But its a good start. The new thing is referrals. Which was not there with Nicehash. So you can earn more by that. I am mining more than Nicehash. So enjoy...... Does not seem to recognize multiple GPUs? I did benchmarks, and it says that a combo of my CPU and GPU can earn $33/month lol |

Does someone here have experience with eupool.electroneum.com?
I'm mining for last ~14 hours or so using Claymore, and when I go to stats I can see:
Last share submitted: less than a minute ago.
Hash Rate: 1.5KH/sec
Total Hashes Submitted: 55 millions
but:
Pending Balance: 0.00 ETN
Total Paid: 0.00 ETN
any ideas?
Did the pool find a block during the last 14 hours? Seems to be the only logical explanation if the pool correctly shows your submitted shares. Hmm, you could be right. When I go to pool page it says "Block found every 3 hours(estimate)", but it didn't found a new block for 12 hours or so. Still, I was mining two hours before finding the previous block, and my balance is 0.00, so I'm not sure what to do. I guess I'll switch to another pool and wait for new block on eupool to see if my balance will get updated. |

Yeah, stats seems buggy on official pool. Hopefully they will update at one point.

Mining difficulty just got reduced by 30% now so, stop using nicehash and minergate to baby ur asses now its time mine reral coins and see some gains.
Hmm, which coin? He's probably just screwing with you and I doubt he's going to give you any useful information (he can correct me if I'm wrong). He doesn't want you using NH, because he feels that it's hurting him. But he also doesn't want to help you, because more people mining the same coin is going to drive difficulty up as well. There are a lot of people on here like that, because they are of the opinion that anyone who ever used NH is stupid and lazy ... Lol. To a certain point, I can understand that, but everyone starts somewhere. I'm mining XMR right now and I can tell you that I'm making less than I was with NH. Is it way more profitable than letting a six gpu rig just sit and do nothing? Yes. But I was making more on NH by at least $1.50usd/day per card. I'm no expert and I don't have all of the answers (YET, LOL) ... In fact, I just built my first rig on Monday and Tuesday night. I used NH on my rig for 6-8 hours maybe, before they went dark. In a way, that was a blessing. I've spent countless hours after work this week learning more than I ever thought I would during my first week of having a mining rig. I'm very tired, but that isn't a complaint. On the other hand in terms of mining singles ... If you mine 1 XMR straight up with XMR-STAK or Yadda Yadda Miner while the price is at 250 and hold it until the price is at 500, of course that is going to be more profitable than selling your hashing power to NH (unless of course you hold your nh payouts in btc and the price of bitcoin triples). Same as straight up buying the coin to sell it later at a profit if and when the value increases. The difference there is that you put the money in hardware that is way more versitle than just buying a specific coin to hold. No one knows what the crypto markets are going to do. The choices that you make and the tools that you use to make it a profitable adventure are up to you. If your rig is good for XMR, try mining Electroneum. Right now it's giving 250% more profit than XMR(although no one can tell you for how long that's going to be). I know it's true for the last few hours lol. |

I have read all the posts and realized that at the moment a decent alternative to nicehash does not exist. This is the answer to those haters who gloat regarding the termination of work nicehash. They have created the best service in the world. I very much hope that they will restore its activity.
Yeah, NiceHash was one of a kind. Did you try some alternatives mentioned here, like WinMiner and Kryptex? I still don't know if Kryptex have low profitability just for me or everyone out there... |

Is WinMiner really good at all?
I see people in this thread saying they are getting decent money per day with Winminer.... but WinMiner is very bad for me.
I have an Intel i7-6850k with a Titan Xp.
With Nicehash I was getting $5+ per day ($1+ for CPU and $4+ for GPU).... But with Winminer I am getting less than $3 per day for both CPU and GPU...
Why is Winminer so bad for me?... Also the app seems slow and buggy. Nicehash app (Legacy and the new Nicehash) both run very stable for me, but Winminer feels slow and buggy.
Could be slow and buggy because there were a lot of people coming from NiceHash. And it still is, but I do believe it will be a good enough alternative once they fix their scaling. Did you always make $5 with NiceHash? Last few days before this disaster my hardware was making $5-8$, but it always fluctuated a lot, same as the price of cryptos. This morning I was getting 6$/day with Winminer, and ATM I'm getting ~$3.5/day. But mining Monero ATM is not near profitable as this morning and days before... |

They certainly are worth it. Their power usage/earnings ratio is one of the best on the market ATM. I've bought 2 of them in November, paid 280E each, and I don't complain |

Why are you using nicehash? Because it has integrated switch between algorithms? or because it gives you payouts in BTC? Whats is the main reason for this?
For me it's a matter of both, but it boils down to profitability and usability |

Thank you very much that makes perfect sense.
If you dont mind may I ask a follow up question since you seem very knowledgable.
What are a few safe places to store coin then where I would have full control?
Hope bones261 won't mind if I try answering this question- desktop and mobile wallet give you full control, and are safer if you keep them safe. Hardware and paper wallet also give you full control, and are even safer. Paper wallet should be the safest wallet out there. |

Since NiceHash is officially down and hacked, I tried some other solutions and WinMiner seems to be a good alternative. The setup is very easy, interface intuitive enough, and most importantly- the profitability seems similar to what I was making with NiceHash. Also tried Kryptex, but didn't work well in terms of profitability(50% less than NiceHash). You can find more details about alternatives I found and tested here: http://minerpath.com/nicehash-alternatives/ |
