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

"...PC components, just be sure that it is at least in the minimum required by nicehash miner."

And that's the mystery, what are the minimum PC components required by nicehash miner

AMD Athlon II X2 4450e (unlocked 2nd core of a Sempron 145) and an AMD Radeon HD 7700 with 1024 MB. Neither one will complete the benchmark for equihash. Usually the equihash GPU benchmarking crashes my PC. I've got 4 GB RAM, maybe I need more. Other more powerful CPUs have no problem running on 4 GB RAM and say they only use less than 50%. I'll try making it 8 GB and see if that helps.

Another thing that's driving me crazy about NiceHashMiner 1.7.3.3 is that it often starts running and stops while loading SMA saying that I need to have an internet connection. The internet connection is always there and no other application has any problem using it.

Hi Nicehash support - can I use the windows miner on an APU A8-7600 APU gaming rig? According to specs it has AMD Integrated Graphics (Radeon R7 7600). Thanks

You can use it as CPU mining device, however APU's as GPU mining devices are not yet supported.

I unlocked a 2^nd Sempron 145 and it won't benchmark equihash either, it repeatedly times out.

It's buggy that 1.7.3.3 will say I don't have a network connection when I'm loading SMA at the start and then have no problem downloading the 130 MB of miners on a new install.

I can't figure out why I have several HD 7900s that timeout benchmarking equihash but run daggerhashimoto fine.

Dear Mr/Ms Nicehash Miner,

  I enjoyed your software and use it often, I learned a few things about my Hp Proliant DL385 G7 rack server. I discovered i can change  NUMA nodes in the HP bios. With NUMA disable your software see the HP AMD 6174 opteron as a 24 core and your software assign each cpu core with its own threads and under only one cli window under windows 10 pro. with NUMA on in the HP bios , your software assigns to each cpu node, 4 in my case.. which opens up 4 cli in windows 10 pro which is your cpu software software is doing  . My understanding in NUMA node interleave off my 24 core cpu 2 opteron = 12 cores x 2 = 24 usable cores which i guess that how windows 10 pro sees my cpu.   and with numa on your cpu miner see the 2 x opteron as a 4 node = 4 cpu node = 6 cores x 4 nodes = 24 cores???  like an AMD phenom II 1035T x 4 mode.. is that normal for your cpuminer to generate 4 separate cli windows?? seems to use more memory but it did run a little bit better.  what settings in our bios on our motherboards would you  recommend for most users to get the most out of your software??

 When i start the miner for eth it gives me this wonderfull results , but after 10 seconds it goes to the normal 185mgh!
Is it real , is it achiavable?

Good day OP.

Did you remove the support for equihash in the new version (1.7.3.4)? Because the nheqminer is not running even if it is selected. I have to roll back to 1.7.3.3

Please fix it, thanks!

Hello Nicehash-Guys!

Is it somehow possible for CPU benchmarks to run them with options like less threads?
I think when algos on CPU are being benchmarked all possible cores are being used. I don't want that.

Also the options for CPU algos are being reset everytime a new benchmark is being run. I don't like that either...

Thanks and regards,
djoser.

Hi there!

Thanks for the answer, but:

I use 1.7.3.5 of your miner software with a single i7-4771.
If i set 2 less threads via the GUI AFTER benchmarking everything is fine.
If i redo the benchmark, the settings made in the GUI are lost and have to be reconfigured (exept equihash algo). Did you never notice that?

I would like to have the benchmark to use only 6 cores, but all benchmarks (exept equi) always use all cores possible.

Any thoughts about that?

Regards, djoser.

We have updated to 1.7.3.5 - support is still there and some bugs fixed.
Download new version and try again.

Thanks

Thank you very much, it runs smoothly on my rig.

BUT, there is another new problem: in the settings, the Hide Mining Windows option has check, but the EQM miner window is still showing. I test other algos and their mining windows are hidden, except for the EQM.

[grendel25]

We have released an EQM (for Windows) with some speedup for GTX 750 ti and 750.
You can download the update here and just replace the files inside NiceHash Miner's /bin/eqm/ folder.

Some old Linux farms should be able to use EQM as soon as we release a Linux version.

EQM is bad because you cannot control Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) Intensity.  I'm done with it until there is an intensity setting.

What Catalyst Version do you recommend? 1512?

[pbuva]

Hi. Is there any way to assign external scripts for mining? I use to Equihash and DaggerHashimoto + Decred other programs (Claymore) that are much better than integrated in Nicehas applications even as I use nicehash pool. Can I somehow replace with original scripts and manually set the real hash? I would like to continue to use the main application Nicehash as autoswitch.

Hello , is this nicehashminer safe to download ? cause i checked this and found Malwarebytes warning on this files ..

https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/54ec1c0d29b49c1cedcdf62fa3c714065da11039a94364d0b70ce9e31ec31b2e/analysis/1478277052/

can someone please suggest ?

Use 3rd party miner, Im using claymore instead of their nicehash miner

[DebitMe]

I am just getting back into GPU mining and have gotten my rig set up with a 280x that I currently am using the Nicehash miner with.  It is showing about 14.5 MH/s on DaggerHashimoto, but your profitability calculator says it should be around 17.88.  My question is, is there something I am doing wrong or need to install to get to that rate? 

[citronick]

Hi NH team,

Is there a Linux / Ubuntu version of the NiceHash Windows Miner?

Thanks

[thedue]

Any advice for the atikmdag.sys / bluescreen problem?

reinstalled os (win7), different catalyst drivers, driver deinst. tools... nothing worked so far... RX400 gpus

Standalone miners like claymore are performing well.

It looks like this is happening only on benchmark, so we need to look into that first.
But so far I can't give any advice on that, sorry.

Means you recommend to mine without doing a benchmark first / negate the benchmark? Will try

[thedue]

Alright so what I´m going to do is deactivate all algos but one.. start mining and transfer the hashrate manually .. deactivate the algo, activate the next one... and so on.

Should be the best option in my case, right? (since there aren´t any proper settings for my cards)

[thedue]

Thx for the great support so far!

I just edited my last post.. your calc has no data for a rx460 equihash (for example). Since I do have a rig with 460´s this is important for me. So I thought about trying out every algo manually.
