 what is wrong with these 2  orders ?  they are frozen

S #815339 0.17077236 btc

 S #823484 0.13802887 btc

[philipma1957]

try to cancel orders  and see below neither one cancelled

[philipma1957]

tried to lower hashrate and  basically tells me frozen see screen shots

[philipma1957]

So my orders are frozen as are my funds these orders add up to over  0.3  btc

0.17077236
0.13802887

0.30880123  to be exact

I would like to be able to cancel them  or do something  to fix this.

I do not want to awaken in the morning and find the coins gone with a notice orders mined out. 

That won't be acceptable.


Your system is broken as I type.

I don't want to here it has something to do with the pool I am mining at.  Here is why I can't cancel the order and that is your fault .

Not mine not the pool I mine at.

You offer the option to cancel and be refunded and it does not work. You offer the option to lower hashrate and it does not work.

I have spent dozens of coins and have always said your site was good to me. So please fix this.

Ive been mining to nicehash address for a long time, but for the past 2 hours, my miners are reporting that nicehash stratum is dead.
Any news as to what's going on?

Hi,

We had issues with servers in USA location, basically our hosting provider (SoftLayer) had intermediate issues, they had to move our servers to another POD which caused fatal service interruption. We restored normal state just about an hour ago. No data was lost and service is now working normally. Any orders that were assigned to USA location (WestHash) were basically on pause while the USA location was down, therefore no data/hashes/funds were lost.

Let us know if you are still having some issues with the service by sending email directly to support@nicehash.com.

Sorry for the troubles this might have caused you and keep on hashing!

Thank you!

p.s.: this thread is dedicated to the NiceHash solo mining pool which is a separate service from NiceHash hashing power selling/buying service. Please direct any questions regarding selling/buying hashing power to this thread or send email directly to support@nicehash.com

Hi Nicehash,

I have been doing some X11 mining (both buying and selling) through your pool over the past month.  The experience has mostly been positive, but there seems to be some manipulation occurring on the X11 buyers market.

The API prevents the user from reducing the buy price rapidly but does not enforce the same rule on the speed limit.  Some users are exploiting this by having multiple orders at various price points and using the speed control to move hashing power between them.  For example:

 S #829208   0.1510   8.40   728   0.5226

A minute later

 S #829208   0.1510   0.10   739   1.6601

Another minute later

 S #829208   0.1510   8.60   464   2.3724

This behaviour is bad for miners due to frequent pool changes.  In fact, you identify frequent disconnects as a problem in the FAQ:

This is to prevent too much "order-jumping", because due to some stratum protocol limitations, miner has to be disconnected before it can serve another order again. Too many disconnects would affect miners performance (more work would be performed on backup pool, plus when connection is dropped, there is a chance of shares being lost).

My question to you is:
 a) Are you aware of this issue?
 b) What will be done to address it?
 c) When?

Thanks!

Hi all

Just started on SOLO NICEHASH with litecoin.

I have 2 machines running.

One on Nicehash and One on F2Pool.

Both were set off at the same time ( within a couple of seconds )

Yet cgminer ( same version for both )  after a few hours report different  FOUND BLOCKS.
And the latest block found times are different too.

As I type the last block reported by the miner on NiceHash was 20:21:57 ( or started )
and the last block reported by F2Pool 20:21:33 ( or started )

NB  ( new blocks reported by cgminer ) is 36 for NiceHash and 43 for F2Pool

I presumed the NB was  block wise not server wise

Could anyone enlighten me why there are these differences please ?

i think you are confused with the difference between litecoin and bitcoin and nicehash and f2pool.
if you are solo mining litecoin on NH of course the blocks will be different then bitcoin on f2pool.

Nice , as though I do not know.

I have several mining rigs  Antminer 1 2 and 3's and work as intended
I know what miner does what  , so you are not correct.

both miners concerned are Scrypt.

Thank you for the reply though

humm can you rent hash rate from nicehash to mine on its own solo mining pools?

Sure. Actually this feature is built into NiceHash.com itself. Just register, login and then select Account / Blockchain Lottery -> you'll have the option to start solo mining with a single click, no configuration needed.

Best regards,
NiceHash.

is there any way to set the diff manually?

i got some futurebit usb script miners and set them on this pool, but the diff it starts out at is 3m and it takes a good 2 or 3 minutes to find a share..
it eventually drops down to 1m diff, but it takes awhile..

Quick question,  what are my earnings likely to be with two S3+ running 480-490ghs each if I sell the hashrate on your website?

Thanks.

If you mine on SOLO pool, you only get all or nothing - if you're lucky you find Bitcoin block and get 25 Bitcoins. If you sell on PPS nicehash.com service, you'll get in average approximately 5% more than direct Bitcoin mining (see https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=stats).
