[BetterHash] - Easy mining GUI application for Windows

[Innovative Solutions]

We have big plans but the best part is that our users will decide. We'll publish a poll on our Facebook page next week.

It's quite simple. Please go to Settings / Miners then click on the blue button. You will be able to select which GPUs will be mining or not. This way you can watch a movie or play a game on one of the video adapters whole the others are mining.

How do I go about choosing how many cores should mine, instead of all of them? I've seen this option available in other miners but can't find it in yours.

[Innovative Solutions]

We didn't focus too much on CPU mining because it's less profitable. We'll add this in a future release. The latest version automatically assigns the number of cores to use based on the Level 3 Cache size of the CPU.

I'm using BetterHash to mine with my 1080ti and it's flawless! But BetterHash wont allow me to mine with my Sapphire 270X. First, only "Claymore" is compatible, but when I benchmark Claymore it does not follow through with the benchmark. And If I just try to start mining without benchmarking first, its stuck at "Starting..." forever. However mining via the Claymore algorithm works flawlessly on NiceHash. So it would be nice if you guys managed to make mining work on the 270X so I didnt have to slog through NiceHashs slow payment rate.

[Innovative Solutions]

We identified an issue related to Claymore and we're working on it. :/ It will take a few hours to solve it.


New release that will probably solve the Claymore issue:

Really enjoying using BetterHash- please add more coins and more statistical reporting options! I'd gladly pay a small monthly percentage for advanced features on the web interface.

[Innovative Solutions]

Thanks a lot for the nice review! During the next weeks we'll work on security and adding more coins. As for the web interface - what suggestions do you have?

New release that will probably solve the Claymore issue:

Hey! This did sadly not solve the Claymore issue :/

[Innovative Solutions]

Sorry to hear this! Please contact us through our support page https://www.betterhash.net/contact and send us the log files from the installation folder, along with the description of the issue. We will need operation.log and operation_benchmark.log.

We'll find the issue.

Hey BetterHash 
Thanks for an awesome piece of software its absolutely simple, easy & effective to use.

I started using your service when another provider was hacked not mentioning any names.
I used your service for almost 1 week and it was excellent! The daily earnings were reasonable and at times it was too good for it to be true.

Do you have any plans of implementing a GUI so we are able to see what is being mined?
Also, possible to change USD to other currency?

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the positive review! We are overwhelmed by the good feedback that we received. It's clear that we need to get more people in order to get things done faster. To answer your questions:

1. We'll add more coins and we'll work on this as fast as we can. This will increase profits.

2. I didn't understand very well what you would like us to add to the GUI. If you would like to see the mined coin's name next to the miner selector on the Miners Setup window - this can be done quite easily. Or is it something else you wanted to ask for?

3. Well, for changing USD to other currency (buying crypto) - that's something we have to think about, it's a new request. What we are working on is allowing our users to withdraw from crypto to EUR and USD.

Hello Daniel, thanks for prompt reply.

1. Thanks

2. Sorry my English isn't very good. I mean let's say with another provider NH when you click on "Start" automatically 2nd window appears which displays what coin is being mined and its speed. I hope you understand now, Daniel?

3. Sorry I didn't mean for buying. When I open BetterHash software by default the currency is set as $ because I live outside USA it can be difficult for me to monitor the daily earnings often need to rely on currency exchange. Are you able to implement so users are able to change from $ to other currencies within the software.

Sorry once again, my english isn't very good.

Thanks,

SM247

I tried BetterHash for about a month... good thing is it is very stable, never once it crashes my computer... but I feels the miner is also less aggressive compared to NiceHash.. so the hashing rate may not as high (I dont have numbers to back this up though).

It is also very friendly and easy to use... literally anyone that know how to install a program can use it.

There is one issue though... I withdrew all my coins by converting it to BTC, the withdrawal was very fast!.. But it is also very expensive!... I checked the transaction and it is using 500 sat/byte!

I checked the mempool and 200 sat/byte would have been enough! https://core.jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#24h

I literally wasted my money for nothing!

Would be great if we could choose Fast, Normal, or Slow confirmation mode when withdrawing...

[Old_School]

Hi yes it would be nice to see option for withdrawals like Fast, Normal, or Slow confirmation mode hopefully the betterhash team can add this option in a future release

Sorry my English isn't very good. I mean let's say with another provider NH when you click on "Start" automatically 2nd window appears which displays what coin is being mined and its speed. I hope you understand now, Daniel?

@ solominer247 you can do this by unchecking miners start hidden in the general settings

[jrtaboraman]

I tried using your program and the hashrate is different compare to other cli miner. I also notice when I turned off automatically start mining there is a process that secretly runs on my computer that consumes my gpu's mining power. I try to look at the file later so I can name it.

[Innovative Solutions]

@solominer247: I got it, I wrote down your ideas and I'll discuss them with my coworkers.

@For_Canal_Coins: We are aware that sometimes the transaction could have gone through at a much lower sat/byte price. However, during our experiments we discovered that during high network activity times (while the Bitcoin network is congested) we might end up with transactions that never get through; they remain in an area where we cannot either increase the transaction fee to speed up processing or cancel them. Your idea of priority (low / high / medium) is somehting we can do. Added to the to-do list. P.S. The 500 sat/byte price was decided by asking the node for the price to get a 1-block confirmation. I checked last week's logs (during the congestion) and transactions with lower amounts and a 20% price decrease are still stuck as pending. :/

@Old_School: See above. We'll work on it!

@jrtaboraman: Depends on what mining algorithm you use. As we promised we'll add more coins, more algorithms, etc. As the process that consumes GPU power please take a look and give me a name. I'm sure it's somehting we can solve.


Kindest regards,

Daniel

[Innovative Solutions]

Hi,

We were working on the page, everything is back now.

New release that will probably solve the Claymore issue:

Hey! This did sadly not solve the Claymore issue :/

Hello! We're back with a new release. Can you check Claymore once again? This is the download link:

Thanks i see it's back now

During the next weeks we'll work on security and adding more coins. As for the web interface - what suggestions do you have?

I realized that I'm not using the computer interface because my rig is actually being managed by a close friend in another state, so I only see the web interface- that could mean that I'm not actually seeing all your features, but some of the web-side statistics I'd really love to have would be:

• Projected Short-Term Earnings
• Side-by-side currency comparison
• Long-term projections with hardware costs

Mycryptobuddy has a few tools that are super useful.
