NiceHash Miner - easy-to-use best-profit multi-device cryptocurrency miner

What is NiceHash Miner?
NiceHash Miner is essentially the only tool a miner needs. No need to go through tons of configuration files, various mining software versions, configuration tuning or cryptocurrency coins market analysis. Auto-tuning for best performance and efficiency, automatic selection and runtime automatic switching to most profitable cryptocurrency algorithm are all integrated into NiceHash Miner and will enable you seamless, joyful and profitable mining experience.

How to use it?
All you have to do is download and run the miner, choose the server location that is the closest to your location, run built-in benchmark and enter your Bitcoin wallet address where you want to get your coins sent at - and you are ready to start mining and maximizing your profit.

Where is the profit coming from?
As a back-end NiceHash Miner relies on the NiceHash.com service. By running NiceHash Miner you're essentially selling the hashing power of your CPUs & GPUs to hashing power buyers. Those are using the hashing power to mine various cryptocurrency coins - similar to cloud computing - only that by running NiceHash Miner you're actually being a provider for the cryptocurrency mining hashing power. You are being part of a global compute power network, empowering decentralized digital currencies.

Which devices are supported
In the current version all modern CPUs are supported as well as all recent NVIDIA and AMD GPUs.

are u considering to make versions for OS X and Linux ?

[Tacalt]

Are you going to provide hashing hiring for Ethereum based coins? That is the only profitable mining algorithm for many people.

[firepunch]

when will be a linux console version?

[Rugtilf]

If NiceHash can provide a Ethereum miner, it will earn a lot of money. Most of the hashing power is with Ethereum based coins.

Every time I run a benchmark (any kind) with your miner I get a BSOD. It's a Windows 10 clean install with 4 Radeon 7770 cards.

I have 2 computers, and running the same miner on both.
One chose scryptjaneNf16 and the other lyra2re.
The first is raking in the coin, but the second is spinning but generating nothing.
How can I get the second to switch to the same algo as the first?

Did you run the benchmark? Check the file config.json in the NiceHash Miner directory -> if you set exactly the same settings for CPU groups, then they will work in sync.

That fixed it, now both are running the higher payrate algorithm.
Any chance for a Linux version? I ask because I have a lot of server class CPU's running Linux.
Only my desktop/laptop run Windows.
I could put 50x the cpu horsepower to work if I had a Linux version.

[usao]

When I ran the benchmark, it fixed the CPU's mining to all be the same algo on multiple boxes. However, for the GPU's, it just crashes.

If you are having issues with AMD GPUs, try these steps:

1. TRY IF YOU CAN CONNECT TO NICEHASH
- open Command Line window (cmd.exe)
- if telnet utility is not installed, do install it: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771275%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
- run this command: "telnet x11.eu.nicehash.com 3336"
- wait 30 seconds and get print-screen (cmd window should refresh and show blank cmd window)

2. ONLY IF USING AMD Pitcairn, Hawaii or Tahiti GPUs:
- open Command Line window (cmd.exe)
- change directory into NiceHashMiner\bin\sgminer-5-1-1-optimized\
- run this command: "runme.bat"
- wait 5 minutes and get print-screen

3. FOR ANY AMD GPUs:
- open Command Line window (cmd.exe)
- change directory into NiceHashMiner\bin\sgminer-5-2-1-general\
- run this command: "runme.bat"
- wait 5 minutes and get print-screen

And send us print-screens to support@nicehash.com so that we can help you debug issues.

Also, if you have multiple GPUs, try running NiceHash Miner with only one GPU selected for test.

And of course, make sure you're using AMD Driver Catalyst Omega 15.7.1.

If we go to settings/config/groups/4/algorithms we will see, what in ANY algo ExtraLaunchParameters set for keccak!
Of course this miner will not work with AMD  


Also no AMD GPUs with 1.2.1.0

What exactly makes you think that it wouldn't work with keccak algorithm?

[reftop123]

How x11 can work with keccak algo in command line?

[reftop123]

How x11 can work with keccak algo in command line?

Keccak is part of X11; don't analyze it unless you know the algos.

OK, my bad. I was wrong understand "keccak-unroll" option.

UPD. The last one is good! Finally detects my Radeons.

Is there instructions on how to setup your system to be compatable with this software?

[nicehash]

Hmm, which OS version are you using? Which GPUs do you have in the system? Also, can you post what is shown when you click "Details" on this issue? Also, if you reboot your PC, does the issue persist?
