I don't think you need the quotes, and because 9323 is the default, you can leave that off too.

addnode=104.192.169.10

My wallet is connected to:

        "addr" : "104.192.169.10:9323",
        "addr" : "104.192.170.30:9323",
        "addr" : "34.198.31.191:9323",
        "addr" : "34.249.16.243:9323",
        "addr" : "35.154.123.88:9323",
        "addr" : "35.156.255.86:9323",
        "addr" : "52.14.2.93:9323",
        "addr" : "52.34.127.167:9323",
        "addr" : "52.34.189.250:9323",
        "addr" : "78.46.168.226:9323",
        "addr" : "96.43.131.82:9323",

You can add them with addnode= in the conf file.  But I just ran with the default seed nodes and it worked out of the box.  Are you using the most recent version?  I think most of what I'm connected to is things like:

5 Host: node2.mercuryminer.com
DNS Seed: 52.68.138.229
6 Host: node2.nexusminingpool.com
7 Host: node2.nxs.efficienthash.com

Also, for faster answers, there are a lot of people in the slack channel who can help with questions like this.  The response there is 10x faster than in this thread.

The bitcoin backlog is very bad right now.  Transactions are getting too expensive for small payments, or are taking more than an hour again.

How is Nexus going to address this and be an improvement over what we have now with BTC?

I'm interested in having a mining pool available for the GPU channel, too, to make it easier for people with only one or a few GPUs to participate in the coin.  Is this technically feasible?

If it is, I would contribute towards a bounty for it.

Thanks for the newsletter.  It's good to see the development is active.  Looking forward to the next!

I don't think you need one as long as your host is in the llpallowip section.  Does it not work with the defaults?

(If you got help on slack already, cool.)

You probably need quotes around the host, port, and nxs_address:

"host" : "nexusminingpool.com",
and so on.  Make yours look as much as possible like the example:  https://github.com/Nexusoft/PrimePoolMiner/blob/master/miner.conf.example

Yes.  If you're pool mining, it needs to go to your wallet first, and then to bittrex.  If you're solo mining, it will be in your wallet automatically, so you can just send them to the exchange from there.

The only thing to know about autosell is that it dumps onto any waiting buy orders.  It's good for speed, but it means you don't necessarily get the best price.  (It's good for those of us trying to acquire more nxs cheaply, of course.  Patience is rewarded, and impatience costs you a little bit. :-).  But from a mining perspective, it's nice because everything becomes fully automated.

You could, but most people recommend against storing large amounts of coin at an exchange wallet.  There's no reason to think Bittrex will have problems, but exchanges are often targets for hacking because of the large amounts of money involved.  Small amounts, no problem.

bittrex has an autosell feature.  https://bittrex.com/Lab/AutoSell

It doesn't automatically send you the BTC out of your account, but it does the conversion immediately.

Make sure you actually typed 127.0.0.1 and not 1278.0.0.1.  Was that a typo here, or when you ran your miner?

Do you have

mining=1
llallowip=127.0.0.1

 in your .Nexus/nexus.conf file?

See this earlier part of this thread:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=657601.msg17165097#msg17165097

One of the major reasons NIST selected Keccak to be an alternative SHA standard is because it's a very different kind of hash function than SHA-2.

What this means for Nexus is that it will have different weaknesses than Bitcoin does.  A successful attack against SHA-2 will be very, very bad for Bitcoin, but won't break Nexus.  A successful attack against SHA-3 will be bad for Nexus, but probably not for Bitcoin.  It's good to have currencies that don't depend critically on the same cryptography.
