Hi. I am having weird Socket Error on Cast XMR, when trying to run it on Nicehash pool (cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:33355).
No such errors on Claymore or XMR Stak, but I have low or unstable hash rate with these, hence I want to try Cast XMR.
I am only pointing Cast XMR to the server and wallet.
I would appreciate any ideas.

Cast XMR - Highspeed CryptoNight (Monero/Bytecoin/DigitalNote/Intense) Miner for Radeon RX Vega GPUsUpdate to version 0.8 on 2017/12/14Cast XMR reaches hash rates of more then 2050 CryptoNight Hashes/s on an single RX Vega 56 or Vega 64 GPU.http://www.gandalph3000.com/images/cast_xmr.pngFeatures- Full support for CryptoNight/CryptoNote based currencies: - Monereo (XMR)
- Bytecoin (BCN)
- DigitalNote (XDN)
- Intense (ITNS)
- Electroneum (ETN)
- Fastest miner for AMD Radeon RX Vega GPU series (more then 2KHash/s) - Optimized cores for RX Vega Blockchain driver - RX Vega Blockchain driver detection - Multiple GPU support for upto 8 Vega GPUs - Monitor temperature and fan speed of each GPU - Full pool support - Nicehash support - Remote http access for statistics in JSON format - only 1.5% dev fee Requirements - Windows 8/8.1/10 64 bit - AMD Radeon RX Vega 56/64 GPU with at least 8GB RAM - or AMD Radeon RX 480/RX 580 GPU with a least 4GB RAM - For about 80% higher hash rates the ReLive Edition Beta for [Suspicious link removed]pute Driver Version 17.30.1029 has to be installed Version HistoryCast XMR Version 0.8 (2017/12/14) - kernel optimizations result in subtle performance improvements - --fastjobswitch option (experimental) to force fast switching to new jobs. When enabled the GPUs will switch to the new job within less then 100ms. This improves the effective hash rate by 1 to 5% as nearly no GPU performance will be wasted on calculating outdated shares anymore. The drawback is a slightly lower displayed hashrate as while switching no hashes are calculated. - improved support for more then 8 GPUs - support for Radeon RX 470/RX 570 (Polaris) added - --forcecompute option to force kernel for compute mode on Polaris (RX470/570/480/580) GPUs. In the Radeon Settings GPU Workload has to be switched to 'Compute'. This option is available in Crimson 17.10.2 (or later) driver and reaches nearly the same performance on Polaris based GPUs as with the Blockchain driver. - openCL platform is auto detected if --opencl is not specified - --nonicehash option to disable nicehash support - nicehash support will automatically disabled if more then 8 GPUs are used. Otherwise search space could be exhausted to early and the GPUs search in overlapping nonce ranges. Cast XMR Version 0.7 (2017/11/29) - network and job status added to current statistics - remote access to get current status at http://127.0.0.1:7777 in JSON format (enable with --remoteaccess) - command line option to specify number of reconnects to pool (default 100) before giving up (set with --reconnects n) - fix for nicehash to support upto 8 GPUs (before only 4 were possible) Cast XMR Version 0.6 (2017/10/27) - improved queue sync which results in an 0.1% higher average hash rate - experimental support for Radeon RX 480/580 GPUs added - pessing 's' key prints the current statistics - count outdated and invalid shares separate - fixed random crash when quitting app - bugfix: invalid command line arguments did hang app Cast XMR Version 0.5 (2017/10/19) - support for multiple Vega GPUs. Specify multiple GPUs comma separated with the -G switch like "-G 0,1,2,3" - monitor temperature and fan speed for each GPU - subtle performance improvements in core Cast XMR Version 0.4 (2017/10/13) - performance optimizations result in 1 - 2% higher hash rates - reduced dev fee to 1.5% Cast XMR Version 0.3 (2017/10/10) - performance optimizations result in 5 - 10% higher hash rates - breaking the 2 KHashes/s barrier with working overclocking settings for RX Vega 64 and RX Vega 56 Cast XMR Version 0.2 (2017/09/27) - performance improvement result in 1% higher hashrates - Improved support for RX Vega 56 (now goes faster then a Vega 64 !?) - Detection if Blockchain driver is installed - Fix for Sikka and Intense pools Cast XMR Version 0.1 (2017/09/22) - Initial Release How Tocast_xmr has a command line interface. For a minimal configuration run: cast_xmr -S [pool server] -u [username or wallet address]For a complete list of configuration options run: cast_xmr --helpRead here how to get the best mining performance with a Radeon RX Vega 56/64 GPUDownload Cast XMR 0.8 for Windows (64bit)Linux version maybe somewhere in time ... Is there a way to configure payment id and email in the miner, if yes how because i searched the entire web but couldn't find any info on this. These settings are important for authenticity and configuring min payouts in some of the pools. Eg : Nanopool. Please advice. Thanks. |

Just a quick update, been mining using cast 0.8 for 4 weeks now with no problems whatsoever. I really wanna go on for longer but I might switch to something else since monero mining has slowed down so much. It wouldn't be so bad if I could get more vegas but those cards are hard to get, almost impossible for close to msrp.
NO, but seriously LOL!!!!! What are you even talking about?? Cryptonight coins are the most profitable coins you can mine bar any card anywhere on this planet. If you have vegas you you have the most profitable mining cards arguably one can buy paired with the fastest miner. 6 1080Ti vs 6 Vega 64s https://whattomine.com/coinsCompare for yourself. I don't know why.... just so much dumb posted here all the time. Well, you may be able to get those Vega at MRSP soon if Cryptonight coins continue to depreciate, but may not be worth buying them though. They are quite profitable at mining Nicehash with Cast at the moment but by the look of things it may not last very long. more on that later. Cast is better than Stak on Nicehash because of the -fastjobswitch option. Nicehash difficulty is very high and Stak generate a lot of stale share (does not have fastjobswitch) almost 20% stale shares sometimes, While Cast does hardly make any stale share. At least on my rigs Cast can mine for days with 0 stale shares, while STAK would deliver 20% within an hour. A part for Nicehash, at the moment Criptonight currencies have well entered the category of shitcoins, even XMR not doing so well. Sumo.... I mean, below 7/8 dollars is not even worth looking at it. Pools are inefficient and shady, difficulty is quite high, you get a lot less than what your rig is hashing for. Plus SUMO can only be Exchanged at Cryptopia for Bitcoins. The only decent option to change it with was Litecoin is not available anymore, USDT was never an option. In fact, Sumo value is slowly drifting down the drain. Electroneum, the next Ethereum.... after few months is still only on Cryptopia and sold off badly any times it dares to pop. I know it is supposed to get in 2 more exchanges soon, but let's see if that happens. One of those 2 exchanges is not even open yet... These privacy Cryptonight coins, may be in trouble for good since governments are asking for transparency and to pay taxes on profits, or they will shut down exchanges and mining pools. When that happens, probably not even hookers and pushers will want to touch a Monero. Vegas are mostly good for Cryptonight only. Pascal maybe... do you really want to mine that? For Ethereum you are better off buying 2 RX580 per every Vega you could buy at the same cost: 1 Vega 44 mhs vs 62 mhs of the two RX580, even with the extra 80 watt the 2 of RX 580 needs, they are still ahead. There is a reason why AMD have not been bothering to push Vega for mining, unless they are going to unlock the driver and make VEGA hash 60mhs per card in Ether..... Ethereum is more likely to see 2000 USD this year, than any of those Cryptonight are going to be more profitable than they are right now. The good thing about Vega cards is that they use little energy and it may be worth keeping them for mining Ether, if Nicehash Criptonight will go down in value. That can well happens. 2 weeks ago it was 30/40% more profitable than mining Ethereum, but today is almost the same. IMO. |

I'm obviously not part of all that but I did read somewhere that it was one of the preferred crypto choices for obvious reasons |

I'm obviously not part of all that but I did read somewhere that it was one of the preferred crypto choices for obvious reasons Monero... the name sounds like it came out of Narcos TV show. Apparently. That is what they say. But so is Bitcoin, Ethereum and the USD. It is funny, because all the Vega love started because of CAST, STAK and Monero. For me it was a no brainer at that time few months back and I bought a few Vegas. Things may became very different in the next few weeks. Bitcoin's money has been slowly siphoning out to Ethereum. There are plenty of good reasons for that happening and smart money they obviously got it. Although in few months we may not be able to mine Ethereum anymore, because developers will make mining unnecessary. It may not happens as soon as the Ethereum developers claims, or it may never happens at all, but is a strong possibility. It has been too easy to pull out money from the AC plug... let's see how long it last. |

That can well happens. 2 weeks ago it was 30/40% more profitable than mining Ethereum, but today is almost the same. IMO. Um ok that is your opinion as a summary answer but let me address your response one line at a time 1. You will not be getting Vegas anytime soon from anyone but people selling them at 1 to 2x proft per card. They mine cryptonight best cause they do and that is the best thing they do with CAST XMR. Mine it while its hot. https://www.polygon.com/2018/1/26/16936984/graphics-card-gpu-prices-nvidia-amd-cryptocurrency-mining-storeshttp://www.techradar.com/news/amd-in-2017-ryzen-hits-a-blackjack-while-vega-goes-bust2. I don't care about STAK one tiny bit. I have no idea what your point is there. I don't care about nicehash diff, nicehash is making me more money than any other place. Still around 37 to 34 a day at current prices. It is what it is and there will not be any more Vega cards coming into the market place en mass. 3. I don't understand your point on other pools for cryptonight currencies and I don't care about them right now. If you haven't noticed prices go up and down a lot in crypto, but since you had to mention some coins, here is some news for you about some cryptonight based coins. http://bitcoinist.com/hitbtc-announces-electroneum-listing/http://bitcoinist.com/possible-litecoin-monero-merger-steps-closer-reality/https://www.reddit.com/r/sumokoin/comments/7tarwi/regarding_the_dmca_takedown_on_github/https://twitter.com/sumokoin/status/9575025418263306244. Privacy coins are not in trouble and that is total speculation on your part, but then again like all crypto is just highly speculative at the moment. When are they going to shutdown exchanges? Do you know something for sure is going to happen? Exchanges would be all coins then, all crypto. Also, looks like things will get much better for cryptonight based coins with this news coming and its starting next month for XMR. Read on... http://blog.robinhood.com/news/2018/1/24/dont-sleep5. Yes I love to mine cryptonight with my Vegas and CAST XMR! 6. AMD have made their driver support mining. AMD is not making Vega cards anymore. There is also shortage of cards and chips and memory. AMD is now working on NAVI which is going to support GDDR6. https://www.polygon.com/2018/1/26/16936984/graphics-card-gpu-prices-nvidia-amd-cryptocurrency-mining-storeshttps://www.nextplatform.com/2018/01/16/samsung-puts-crunch-emerging-hbm2-market/https://www.anandtech.com/show/12338/samsung-starts-mass-production-of-gddr6-memoryhttps://wccftech.com/amd-gddr6-memory-upcoming-graphics-cards/7. You are not making more mining anything else as I already told you. ETH is a complete waste of time for any Vega owner and is showing about 28 to 24 dollars a day. It pays to use CAST XMR on nicehash at the moment if you want to make the most money which is about 37 to 34 dollars a day at current BTC prices. This is accurate as it is what I am getting from nicehash. https://whattomine.com/Looks like you have some reading to do to better understand what is going on at the moment. |

Everything leads back to USD in the end anyway. |

Hi. I am having weird Socket Error on Cast XMR, when trying to run it on Nicehash pool (cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:33355).
No such errors on Claymore or XMR Stak, but I have low or unstable hash rate with these, hence I want to try Cast XMR.
I am only pointing Cast XMR to the server and wallet.
I would appreciate any ideas.
Share the snapshot of the error and your config for clarity. The simple answer is CAST XMR does not support TLS so don't connect to the TLS secured pools, i.e cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com: 33355Use the following: https://www.nicehash.com/help/which-stratum-servers-are-availablecryptonight.eu.nicehash.com: 3355or cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com: 3355AND YOUR'RE WELCOME! |

They are quite profitable at mining Nicehash with Cast at the moment but by the look of things it may not last very long. more on that later. Cast is better than Stak on Nicehash because of the -fastjobswitch option. Nicehash difficulty is very high and Stak generate a lot of stale share (does not have fastjobswitch) almost 20% stale shares sometimes, While Cast does hardly make any stale share. At least on my rigs Cast can mine for days with 0 stale shares, while STAK would deliver 20% within an hour. A part for Nicehash, at the moment Criptonight currencies have well entered the category of shitcoins, even XMR not doing so well. Sumo.... I mean, below 7/8 dollars is not even worth looking at it. Pools are inefficient and shady, difficulty is quite high, you get a lot less than what your rig is hashing for. Plus SUMO can only be Exchanged at Cryptopia for Bitcoins. The only decent option to change it with was Litecoin is not available anymore, USDT was never an option. In fact, Sumo value is slowly drifting down the drain. Electroneum, the next Ethereum.... after few months is still only on Cryptopia and sold off badly any times it dares to pop. I know it is supposed to get in 2 more exchanges soon, but let's see if that happens. One of those 2 exchanges is not even open yet... Ellaism, Karbo, come on... These privacy Cryptonight coins, may be in trouble for good since governments are asking for transparency and to pay taxes on profits, or they will shut down exchanges and mining pools. When that happens, probably not even hookers and pushers will want to touch a Monero. Vegas are mostly good for Cryptonight only. Pascal maybe... do you really want to mine that? For Ethereum you are better off buying 2 RX580 per every Vega you could buy at the same cost: 1 Vega 44 mhs vs 62 mhs of the two RX580, even with the extra 80 watt the 2 of RX 580 needs, they are still ahead. There is a reason why AMD have not been bothering to push Vega for mining, unless they are going to unlock the driver and make VEGA hash 60mhs per card in Ether..... Ethereum is more likely to see 2000 USD this year, than any of those Cryptonight are going to be more profitable than they are right now. The good thing about Vega cards is that they use little energy and it may be worth keeping them for mining Ether, if Nicehash Criptonight will go down in value. That can well happens. 2 weeks ago it was 30/40% more profitable than mining Ethereum, but today is almost the same. IMO. Um ok that is your opinion as a summary answer but let me address your response one line at a time 1. You will not be getting Vegas anytime soon from anyone but people selling them at 1 to 2x proft per card. They mine cryptonight best cause they do and that is the best thing they do with CAST XMR. Mine it while its hot. https://www.polygon.com/2018/1/26/16936984/graphics-card-gpu-prices-nvidia-amd-cryptocurrency-mining-storeshttp://www.techradar.com/news/amd-in-2017-ryzen-hits-a-blackjack-while-vega-goes-bust2. I don't care about STAK one tiny bit. I have no idea what your point is there. I don't care about nicehash diff, nicehash is making me more money than any other place. Still around 37 to 34 a day at current prices. It is what it is and there will not be any more Vega cards coming into the market place en mass. 3. I don't understand your point on other pools for cryptonight currencies and I don't care about them right now. If you haven't noticed prices go up and down a lot in crypto, but since you had to mention some coins, here is some news for you about some cryptonight based coins. http://bitcoinist.com/hitbtc-announces-electroneum-listing/http://bitcoinist.com/possible-litecoin-monero-merger-steps-closer-reality/https://www.reddit.com/r/sumokoin/comments/7tarwi/regarding_the_dmca_takedown_on_github/https://twitter.com/sumokoin/status/9575025418263306244. Privacy coins are not in trouble and that is total speculation on your part, but then again like all crypto is just highly speculative at the moment. When are they going to shutdown exchanges? Do you know something for sure is going to happen? Exchanges would be all coins then, all crypto. Also, looks like things will get much better for cryptonight based coins with this news coming and its starting next month for XMR. Read on... http://blog.robinhood.com/news/2018/1/24/dont-sleep5. Yes I love to mine cryptonight with my Vegas and CAST XMR! 6. AMD have made their driver support mining. AMD is not making Vega cards anymore. There is also shortage of cards and chips and memory. AMD is now working on NAVI which is going to support GDDR6. https://www.polygon.com/2018/1/26/16936984/graphics-card-gpu-prices-nvidia-amd-cryptocurrency-mining-storeshttps://www.nextplatform.com/2018/01/16/samsung-puts-crunch-emerging-hbm2-market/https://www.anandtech.com/show/12338/samsung-starts-mass-production-of-gddr6-memoryhttps://wccftech.com/amd-gddr6-memory-upcoming-graphics-cards/7. You are not making more mining anything else as I already told you. ETH is a complete waste of time for any Vega owner and is showing about 28 to 24 dollars a day. It pays to use CAST XMR on nicehash at the moment if you want to make the most money which is about 37 to 34 dollars a day at current BTC prices. This is accurate as it is what I am getting from nicehash. https://whattomine.com/Looks like you have some reading to do to better understand what is going on at the moment. fair enough. I have a question.. Then why not using Nicehash directly instead of Cast XMR on Nicehash pools? Just curious... |

Just a quick update, been mining using cast 0.8 for 4 weeks now with no problems whatsoever. I really wanna go on for longer but I might switch to something else since monero mining has slowed down so much. It wouldn't be so bad if I could get more vegas but those cards are hard to get, almost impossible for close to msrp.
NO, but seriously LOL!!!!! What are you even talking about?? Cryptonight coins are the most profitable coins you can mine bar any card anywhere on this planet. If you have vegas you you have the most profitable mining cards arguably one can buy paired with the fastest miner. 6 1080Ti vs 6 Vega 64s https://whattomine.com/coinsCompare for yourself.

Namely the coin they're raping that you would be making 10% more money with if you mined it directly. If you dig a little bit, you'll find it (them) easily. |

So I don't entirely disagree with you, however, there are some nice little features that I can take advantage. Namely stability and reliability and liquidity. For nicehash 1. I get paid daily in BTC (very low pool fee now) 2. I can move BTC to coinbase for no fee and move around from there to exchanges (GDAX no fee) 3. I can buy any other coin I want and transfer as needed to whatever exchange 4. Can become a buyer of whatever coin I want usually with more purchasing power than if I had wasted time trying to mine it So I don't have to connect to some crap pool that does not get enough blocks a day cause it has a low hash speed, has connection problems, worry yet another pool operator scamming me. Instead I can buy whatever coin I want and its easier than ever to move funds around now with much lower fees than ever before. I am not doing to badly with this method and I have pretty diverse holding of coins. Please tell me your thoughts. Even though we are way off topic for this thread. |

I have an issue with fastjobswitch
When I turn it on, my rigs hang after few hours of mining. Without, they're stable for weeks at a time.
When castxmr hangs, it stops showing anything on screen. There's no "fast job switch" lines in the console and the rig seems frozen. When I close the castxmr windows I get a BSOD and a reboot.
I'm not sure if this is an issue with fastjobswitch only or my extreme settings (not that extreme actually).
These are 8 vega56 rigs.
Any ideas?

I don't know why.... just so much dumb posted here all the time. Well, you may be able to get those Vega at MRSP soon if Cryptonight coins continue to depreciate, but may not be worth buying them though. They are quite profitable at mining Nicehash with Cast at the moment but by the look of things it may not last very long. more on that later. Cast is better than Stak on Nicehash because of the -fastjobswitch option. Nicehash difficulty is very high and Stak generate a lot of stale share (does not have fastjobswitch) almost 20% stale shares sometimes, While Cast does hardly make any stale share. At least on my rigs Cast can mine for days with 0 stale shares, while STAK would deliver 20% within an hour. A part for Nicehash, at the moment Criptonight currencies have well entered the category of shitcoins, even XMR not doing so well. Sumo.... I mean, below 7/8 dollars is not even worth looking at it. Pools are inefficient and shady, difficulty is quite high, you get a lot less than what your rig is hashing for. Plus SUMO can only be Exchanged at Cryptopia for Bitcoins. The only decent option to change it with was Litecoin is not available anymore, USDT was never an option. In fact, Sumo value is slowly drifting down the drain. Electroneum, the next Ethereum.... after few months is still only on Cryptopia and sold off badly any times it dares to pop. I know it is supposed to get in 2 more exchanges soon, but let's see if that happens. One of those 2 exchanges is not even open yet... Ellaism, Karbo, come on... These privacy Cryptonight coins, may be in trouble for good since governments are asking for transparency and to pay taxes on profits, or they will shut down exchanges and mining pools. When that happens, probably not even hookers and pushers will want to touch a Monero. Vegas are mostly good for Cryptonight only. Pascal maybe... do you really want to mine that? For Ethereum you are better off buying 2 RX580 per every Vega you could buy at the same cost: 1 Vega 44 mhs vs 62 mhs of the two RX580, even with the extra 80 watt the 2 of RX 580 needs, they are still ahead. There is a reason why AMD have not been bothering to push Vega for mining, unless they are going to unlock the driver and make VEGA hash 60mhs per card in Ether..... Ethereum is more likely to see 2000 USD this year, than any of those Cryptonight are going to be more profitable than they are right now. The good thing about Vega cards is that they use little energy and it may be worth keeping them for mining Ether, if Nicehash Criptonight will go down in value. That can well happens. 2 weeks ago it was 30/40% more profitable than mining Ethereum, but today is almost the same. IMO. Um ok that is your opinion as a summary answer but let me address your response one line at a time 1. You will not be getting Vegas anytime soon from anyone but people selling them at 1 to 2x proft per card. They mine cryptonight best cause they do and that is the best thing they do with CAST XMR. Mine it while its hot. https://www.polygon.com/2018/1/26/16936984/graphics-card-gpu-prices-nvidia-amd-cryptocurrency-mining-storeshttp://www.techradar.com/news/amd-in-2017-ryzen-hits-a-blackjack-while-vega-goes-bust2. I don't care about STAK one tiny bit. I have no idea what your point is there. I don't care about nicehash diff, nicehash is making me more money than any other place. Still around 37 to 34 a day at current prices. It is what it is and there will not be any more Vega cards coming into the market place en mass. 3. I don't understand your point on other pools for cryptonight currencies and I don't care about them right now. If you haven't noticed prices go up and down a lot in crypto, but since you had to mention some coins, here is some news for you about some cryptonight based coins. http://bitcoinist.com/hitbtc-announces-electroneum-listing/http://bitcoinist.com/possible-litecoin-monero-merger-steps-closer-reality/https://www.reddit.com/r/sumokoin/comments/7tarwi/regarding_the_dmca_takedown_on_github/https://twitter.com/sumokoin/status/9575025418263306244. Privacy coins are not in trouble and that is total speculation on your part, but then again like all crypto is just highly speculative at the moment. When are they going to shutdown exchanges? Do you know something for sure is going to happen? Exchanges would be all coins then, all crypto. Also, looks like things will get much better for cryptonight based coins with this news coming and its starting next month for XMR. Read on... http://blog.robinhood.com/news/2018/1/24/dont-sleep5. Yes I love to mine cryptonight with my Vegas and CAST XMR! 6. AMD have made their driver support mining. AMD is not making Vega cards anymore. There is also shortage of cards and chips and memory. AMD is now working on NAVI which is going to support GDDR6. https://www.polygon.com/2018/1/26/16936984/graphics-card-gpu-prices-nvidia-amd-cryptocurrency-mining-storeshttps://www.nextplatform.com/2018/01/16/samsung-puts-crunch-emerging-hbm2-market/https://www.anandtech.com/show/12338/samsung-starts-mass-production-of-gddr6-memoryhttps://wccftech.com/amd-gddr6-memory-upcoming-graphics-cards/7. You are not making more mining anything else as I already told you. ETH is a complete waste of time for any Vega owner and is showing about 28 to 24 dollars a day. It pays to use CAST XMR on nicehash at the moment if you want to make the most money which is about 37 to 34 dollars a day at current BTC prices. This is accurate as it is what I am getting from nicehash. https://whattomine.com/Looks like you have some reading to do to better understand what is going on at the moment. There's only one thing that's incorrect in this post of yours, and it's number 7. If Nicehash is at the top of your profit list, it means you're missing something. Namely the coin they're raping that you would be making 10% more money with if you mined it directly. If you dig a little bit, you'll find it (them) easily. So I don't entirely disagree with you, however, there are some nice little features that I can take advantage. Namely stability and reliability and liquidity. For nicehash 1. I get paid daily in BTC (very low pool fee now) 2. I can move BTC to coinbase for no fee and move around from there to exchanges (GDAX no fee) 3. I can buy any other coin I want and transfer as needed to whatever exchange 4. Can become a buyer of whatever coin I want usually with more purchasing power than if I had wasted time trying to mine it So I don't have to connect to some crap pool that does not get enough blocks a day cause it has a low hash speed, has connection problems, worry yet another pool operator scamming me. Instead I can buy whatever coin I want and its easier than ever to move funds around now with much lower fees than ever before. I am not doing to badly with this method and I have pretty diverse holding of coins. Please tell me your thoughts. Even though we are way off topic for this thread. one more advantage of nh is, you dont need to care somebody can fuck up coins difficulty with nicehash   |

Oh I understand your points of view totally, just tried to add some colour to the "debate"!  It's not as bad as you put it however. There are some good pools out there, not everything outside of NH is crap. But I know for a fact NH is mining crap. It took'em only a few minutes to direct a portion of their hashpower onto new shitcoins like "Rapture" on one of those "crap" pools to try to get more $. For us it's basically a case of "if you can't fight them, join them." I'm just not there yet. Btw the Cryptonight coin you can earn more with is available to mine directly on very large pools. They're not all just shitcoins... |
