[BetterHash] - Easy mining GUI application for Windows

@ericnovak

Thanks a lot for this feedback! I understand this is a valuable tool when you cannot access the rig. The online account does this job, but offers not estimate, just the current earnings and pending balance accumulated for all your miners.

Hi Daniel any update on the progress with 2FA Authentification being add it to betterhash also is it possible on you guys adding a choose like Fast, Normal, or Slow confirmation mode when withdrawing to save on bitcoin withdraw fees to give user the flexibility on saving on withdraw

[Innovative Solutions]

We worked a lot today on improving detection for AMD adapters on mixed rigs. The web development team worked on cleaning the code and tomorrow we'll all be working on 2FA. I hope we'll add it to a new online Settings tab by tomorrow evening.

I think this is prime example of support from developers, this is how it should be. Super fast responses, quick development, direct contact with people behind software - no stupid shit like rising tickets, sending emails, tweeting etc. Bravo.

[Innovative Solutions]

@Bimmber - Thanks a lot. This is time consuming sometimes... However: the ideas, the bugs that were reported - were pure gold to us! We've been in software development for more than 10 years and I can say that the crypto community is something completely different: generally technical users that know how to explain bugs, users with good intentions... We also received critical messages but most of them were correct and helped us improve the service. After many years of software development I started to enjoy answering messages.

Hi, thanks for great app. I am trying it now and then and it looks great. To be honest NiceHash is still my number one because of highest earnings (and i dont know how is that possible), but BetterHash is great and im planning to move to it. But i found one problem. Im not trying it on my mining rig with 6xGTX1060 but on my personal pc with only one HD7950 and if lcd goes to sleep BetterHas's hashrate drops around 5-7% down. And it goes back few seconds after i wake up lcd. I didnt try to use it on rig without lcd but this is not good result if we talk abour 5-7% drop on 6 card rig and more.
I know i can set lcd to not sleep, but its not good solution for me. And if it affect also rigs without lcd...

@Zikkson

I believe that only on some configurations NH can generate more revenue. What we will do in order to increase revenue is adding more mining algorithms and more coins. On some systems mining ETH can be more profitable, on other systems ZEC would be the best.

As for the hashrate that seems to drop it would help us to know what algorithm you used. In order not to expose your email here please open a ticket on send us a private message on our Facebook page mentioning this issue. The LCD shouldn't be related in any way to this issue - I would look for a network problem instead.

Thanks for fast reply!

I thought that high earnings are based on selling hash power, not mining altcoins directly for myself like others. But i dont understand how completly NH works. NH (all algos activated) says i can make 822usd/month with 6xGTX1060 and direct altcoin mining regarding whattomine says around 620usd/month mining ETH which is one of the most profitable there which should be same as BetterHase i think. That is huge difference. But still i like BetterHash more and more.

I will open ticket then. Anyway im using Claymore while problem happens. It looks like GPU is going to something like "eco mode" while display is off. But it works without any drops in NH for example. So i dont know if there is chance its app problem or just some system settings. Maybe i can do some research with msi afterburner graphs what happens with gpu while displays goes off.

@Zikkson: I didn't notice your ticket - or maybe you didn't mention we discussed on Bitcointalk. Can you help me with a ticket ID? Also - if you can take a look at the command line that NH uses I can compare it to BH and perhaps this is where the difference comes from.


Daniel

[Zikkson]

I opened ticket few minutes ago. Its 11049 ticket number.

I will lookt at command line of NH and reply.

[Innovative Solutions]

Already worked today on finding a fix for the ECO mode. No results for now, but we'll solve it!


@Old_School: The 2FA implementation has been delayed by a few days because of a Windows update: we had to make a lot of changes to BetterHash to make sure it continues to be 100% functional for users that updated their PCs.

Thanks for the update Innovative Solutions

Hi

Whenever I start my miners my WiFi network shuts down. The only thing working [being connected to the internet] is the better hash client.

Do you have any solutions?

[Reedtrullz]

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:




Daniel

Hello Daniel,

Thanks for coming back with a new update. I just installed it and left it to run for some minutes. It still seems to be unable to mine with my GPU. Still only "Claymore" is available, but is stuck at "Starting...". I will send logs to your support-page next week.

[Old_School]

Hi Innovative Solutions can this be cause from the windows update that you are talking about and betterhash my rigs up to now been running 24/7 with no problems but for two days now when i check on my rigs i find one that is not responding back is freeze up but it looks to still be mining cause gpu's are letting out heat my unpaid shares for that rig drops and to get it back up and running i have to do a force restart

[Innovative Solutions]

@Reedtrullz: We received two or three operation_header.log files - almost all with the same issue. Doesn't make too much sense for now - probably an exception that's not being caught. We're still working on it. Can you please take a look in your last operation.log file and tell me if it contains anything like "Application exception"?

@Old_School: Please try to disable CPU mining. Looks like on some rigs it can cause systems to freeze.

Hey. operation.log only shows:
14.01.2018 09:33:49.346 starting... Hrate:0 m.revenue_cur-1
14.01.2018 09:33:50.449 starting... Hrate:0 m.revenue_cur-1
14.01.2018 09:33:51.550 starting... Hrate:0 m.revenue_cur-1
... /# Just to show that I actually left it on for a while to check if it would start working #/
14.01.2018 10:09:30.866 starting... Hrate:0 m.revenue_cur-1
14.01.2018 10:09:32.15 starting... Hrate:0 m.revenue_cur-1

[Innovative Solutions]

@Reedtrullz: Please attach the log two files to a support ticket. I developed a special testing release that should help us catch the bug; it's most likely an unhandled access violation during startup.

Do you have any ideas why would my network crash every time I start my miners? I've tried re-installing and restarting the computer.
