Hey any new progress on NHC? It would be really nice if you could implement at least a partial TMB support, even thought you don't have a functioning API yet The NC prices are really low atm, so a second switching option would be awesome.

Yes, anyone can "mine" with nicehash, even the owners, but you need to know at least 4 things in order to succeed:
1) which coin to mine 2) when to mine 3) at what price to mine 4) when to stop

And most of nicehash users just don't have the time to keep track of all the crypto news regarding launch, reward, etc...to make big bucks
We're happy with smaller piece of a pie with no buzz and fuzz

 

 

Hmm, right now NH site is down and also their API interface, so NHC can't launch even the backups that I've put in place, you have to manually run a instance.
So -a command is useless in this case  need to add this exception if all the prices are 0

Using around 6 miners, some have multiple nvidia 750ti cards, some only one. All hasing to same adress, just added different names for easier maintenance (which was awesome feature btw that you've added)
Using ccminer 1.2, my configs:

ccminer -r 6 -a x11 -s 2 -R 10 -T 60 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3336   -O %worker1%:d=0.02
ccminer -r 6 -a x13 -s 2 -R 10 -T 60 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3337   -O %worker1%:d=0.02
ccminer -r 6 -a x15 -s 2 -R 10 -T 60 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3339   -O %worker1%:d=0.04
ccminer -r 6 -a nist5 -s 2 -R 10 -T 60 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3340   -O %worker1%:x

 -r, --retries=N       number of times to retry if a network call fails (default: retry indefinitely)
 -R, --retry-pause=N   time to pause between retries, in seconds (default: 30)
 -T, --timeout=N       network timeout, in seconds (default: 270)
 -s, --scantime=N      upper bound on time spent scanning current work when long polling is unavailable, in seconds (default: 5)

Switching to most profitable algo is done with NHC control. Usually stratum_recv_line failed happens when switching algo, but not always, there's also no fixed time pattern, but usually between 5 -10 min the connection gets reset.

UPDATE: Solved problem by removing "-s 2 -R 10 -T 60" from config.

Used to have many reject when my cards when OC, now i've turned it down to see if it's better.
Now I have 1-2% of rejects and still receive those two lines on all algos, does difficulty influence this? Or how can I improve that?
using ccminer and nvidia 750ti

Then you should see some of my unix code Love the batches also to get the easy tasks going on multiple versions of Windows.

Can confirm, that it's working properly.

The first two points for me personally are not so critical, i've made my own logging utility from the blogs code i've only modify it for my own perferences, i'm writing log files on my samba server for each worker:
SET "worker1=%2"
set nice=%date:~4,2%.%date:~7,2%.%date:~10,4%   %time:~0,2%:%time:~3,2%   %1.nicehash
and inside each loop
echo %nice% >> x:\cuda\logs\%worker1%.txt

i'ts very basic with EU timezone (13.7.2014   14:15   x11.nicehash), separated with tabs so you can open it also with excel to analyse it furthure more, but you can see when stratum connection was lost or if it was changed because of the price...

If you could implement all that,
that would be really epic!

OK, I'll test it with one miner to see if it works. But as I've said was not a huge problem, I've just put an extra command into the bat file and it worked flawlessly. It only cost me a few hours of hashing before i've noticed it. The new switching is working perfectly, because I reboot the machines anyway in the morning so I've set maxtime to 0. Other two parameters are also working great.

The next awesome feature would be to implement TradeMyBit support, they also have an API (https://pool.trademybit.com/api/)   Sometimes their prices are over the roof, because they add the latest coins to their multipool collection   Although then we also need a new name for the app

Since the last update the service is more stable but there are still connection problems, sometimes the miner has to restart the connection sometimes not, I get lot's of following messages:

stratum_recv_line failed
Stratum connection interrupted

U rock man! Testing it out right now 

notice: if you’re running NHC in minimized mode and using improved code from cryptomining-blog, you have to manually kill the ccminer process with command like “taskkill /im ccminer.exe /f”, cause there’s a bug that NHC cannot always bring back the process from minimized mode, if you don’t, you end up with multiple processes and eventually graphic driver crash,…learned this the hard way  now successfully switching between additional 2 backup pools

improved version of NHC with backup pool included

Yup all down except x11 at the moment

What's happening with port 3340??? I get following for past hour:

Stratum connection failed: Failed connect to stratum.nicehash.com:3340; No Error

Miner is not working. And btw good job with worker names!

Didn't noticed that you've answered on my question. Yes I'm running on same subnet.

It happened only once, and I couldn't see the miner's situation, because it was minimized but there was no ccminer process running, so had to launch it manually.

It appears that nicehash implemented the workers names, like you've requested

"Providers: You can name your rigs. Append . (dot) and up to seven alphanumeric characters to Bitcoin address."

today, constant connection problems
