I have just download NiceHash Miner to mine CryptoNight . But there is no option for CryptoNight.
I see 2 algorithms only.
Is there any other way to sell CryptoNight hashrate to NiceHash ?

I cannot live, I cannot die, trapped in myself.
Hold my breath as I wish for death. Oh please god, help me !

use other miner like Claymore, then point your pool to nicehash.

Ex.


pool -   stratum+tcp://cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:3355

Miner -  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=638915.0

I'm not really clear what your question is.  People that usually use nicehash simply let nicehash pick the most profitable coin to mine.  There are many times Cryptonight is not the most profitable coin.  That would be fine if you weren't using nicehash and getting paid in Bitcoin.  You simply keep the coins and the rises and dips even out.  Selling your hashrate you just get the bitcoin.

Why would you not want to mine the most profitable coin with nicehash when you aren't keeping the coin?

To answer your question, I'm pretty sure you should be able to go to Settings > Devices/Algorithms, click on your GPU and uncheck the marks beside whichever algorithms you don't want to mine.  If you did this to everything besides Cryptonight that is the only thing it would mine.

You may need to check "enable third party miners" in the settings.

Guys many replies but you all forgot the most important question!

Nicehash nvidia miner 2.0.1.3 removed many algorithms.
With my 1060 3gb i don't even have daggerhashimoto or dual mine or cryptonight.
So he have to tell us which kind of video card have and if he using legacy or nvidia nicehash miner.
If he is using legacy it very strange because legacy has all algho.

Is legacy version of NiceHash worse ? It works on 1060 with daggerhashimoto or dual mine or cryptonight with same speed on crypto as ccminer does.

Yes, I have downloaded the Nvidia minet of latest nicehash miner.
I cannot see daggerhashimoto algo. it s so strange.

Use nicehash legacy, it has all the algos.

At least 30 minutes no connection to Nicehash Cryptonight pool? Does anybody experience SOCKET ERROR..?

My advice - if you are mining with Nvidia GPUs, and you specifically want to mine cryptonight at nicehash is to go to:

https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases

and get the latest one of his ccminers because they are the best at Cryptonight as far as I can tell.

Then use something like this:

ccminer -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://cryptonight.hk.nicehash.com:3355 -u [YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS].[WORKERNAME]  -p x
pause

I use cryptonight.hk.nicehash.com because I'm in Australia and hk (Hong Kong) gives me fastest ping times but obviously you should use whatever nicehash server is closest to you.

I have done this when the prices of everything are down because cryptonight uses so little power and we pay A LOT for power in Australia, but right now while prices of altcoins are all going up again I've been mining on the equihash multi hub at miningpoolhub or mining Vertcoin on my own P2Pool node.

Crypto currency enthusiast and miner since 2015. Mined approx 200 ETH during 2016 and 2017 and sold it at approximately $US40 each. Then I watched it reach $1000+ each. If anyone bothers to read this stuff pay attention to this: HODL HODL HODL HODL HODL HODL

I started mining with 1 AMD 7950 and 1 R9-280X. Then I gradually built my AMD operation into 12 R9-290s. Awesome ETH hash but ridiculous power consumption and heat. Over the last year I defected to the Nvidia team. I now use GTX 1070s. They were expensive to buy (probably a bargain now) but awesome hash rate vs. power consumption. blah blah blah blah

Always use the Legacy version. Better in everything, has a third party mining software - better hash in multiple algorithms.

It seems to me that CryptoNight on Nicehash is the most efficient algorithm. Any version of the software supports this algorithm. But all the other algorithms do with each new version becomes a problem. It seems to me that software Nicehash there is constant problems since version 1.8. I have to use version 1.7

crypto is also very efficient from electricity perspective and gpu temperatures but not always the highest paying.
ethash, equihash - usually no issues with the NH too. steady, not low, not high recently.

the rest are a bit hit and miss... even though neoscrypt and lyra are sometimes more profitable,  I've always had trouble tweaking my GPUs for those.

On the Nicehash website you will find the installer of the old version of the software. You can ask older version users on the forum. Try to install it and I'm sure you will have no problems. My advice for the future never install the latest software. There are always bugs. I think Nicehash with programmers is not all right.
