I was banned from NiceHash Miner you know why?

[Rodrigo8]

so, just after I post on reddit r/NiceHash that I was going to turn off my rigs for low profit , guess what happens.. my ip was banned to mining

Do you know what I was told after I opened ticket on support? "We suggest you disable your CPU" did they tell me to turn off my rigs? That's right ?

Be very careful what you write there!

I'm mining but I'm not going to say how to protect myself

"I'm mining but I'm not going to say how to protect myself"

Possibly...a VPN?

Yeah how did they get your ip from a reddit post? Unless you typed it out yourself.

NiceHash is garbage anyways.

Could be that OP's Reddit username was similar to his Nicehash username, and they were somehow able to track his IP down from there.

VPN or Socks5 proxy's always an option if you want to continue mining at Nicehash in the future. There are a few sellers in the Digital Goods section selling accounts for pretty cheap IIRC if you're looking for a VPN. IP bans really aren't that bad (VPN shouldn't affect mining performance much), but it's still shitty that Nicehash decided to ban you off something that minor.

He probably posted screenshots and nicehash traced his account by those means.

There are other options available such as honeyminer & winminer which revamped their gui.
For those who use these easier mining programs.

I have one problematic motherboard which doesn't behave well in Nicehash so I put that only one board to work with Winminer for the colleagues which I manage about 20 rigs. It is working much more stable with Winminer but at a hefty price to pay, the profit from Winminer is almost 50% less than Nicehash.

With Nicehash I am making about 5 dollars with a 6 cards rig while with Winminer I am making near 3 dollars daily. Good thing is that only this board is problematic as it is not a mining specific board like Asrock or Biostar but just a MSI Z270 Pro.

user ip is the same of mining Admin can see it

Just curious as what could be the possible cause

Any hashrate differences?

might be an auto intensities define on each miner app

50% difference is way too high, how about Claymore miner?

benefit of the doubt sending screencap could be plausible

mind sharing them as to prove the claims

otherwise its still a hearsay

Are you sure they aren't just telling you to turn off the CPU portion of their miner, so it only uses your GPU's?  That's how I would read that - not that they're telling you to turn off your rigs.

I think it's pretty unlikely that they blocked your IP because of the post, I've made positive and negative posts about Nicehash, and have never seen a comment one way or the other.  They do have some kind of automated temporary banning of IP's if your miner is misbehaving, and I have run into that a long time ago, but if I remember it was reset after a few hours.
