Is there a way to select a specific order# to hash for?

Nope. It's a round robbin assignment.

I have the same problem and so does everyone else who has a minimum price set in the password. This is due to the new Limited GH/s option they added. Basically the speed is filled by other miners and it connects you and you just sit and wait for work that will never come.

They need to either add some code to fix this (not add new miners if the speed is filled) or remove Limited GH/s. This will really hurt the site if they leave it as it is since people will leave.

Working perfectly fine for me.  The problem I see in the screenshot posted above is the 60second wait to see if wafflepool is stable.  My dips on nicehash match with my peaks on wafflepool, so everything is looking fine.

can add  x11 algo  or others？

It would be great if this is possible somehow. Right now the highest scrypt bid is 6.8btc/gh/day but I prefer not to mine that one because of its high reject rate -- 22.36/78.35 or ~22.2% reject rate!

[z0rz]

At the top of the site, you list the current rates:

Scrypt: 2.09 GH/s @ 6.05 BTC/GH/Day
SHA256: 0.40 TH/s @ 0.07 BTC/TH/Day
S-A-Nf: 0.00 GH/s @ 6.80 BTC/GH/Day

Does the Scrypt-A-Nfactor rate account for its lower hashrate? As in, S-A-Nf is technically 13.6 BTC/GH/Day but since you get 50% hashrate with that algo, it comes out to 6.8 BTC/GH/Day.

Are you guys already converting the numbers to directly compare to Scrypt? If not, 6.8 BTC/GH/Day would really be 3.4, which is just atrocious.

Hopefully that question makes sense.

Looks like people just don't know how to set minimum price and mine scrypt-n for cheap.

You might have missed the 0.00 GH/s part? SANf simply didn't take off yet. There isint much point spending a fee to list the order in the first place if you just get 2GH a day.

[z0rz]

Good point. Coulda sworn I saw some hashing power on S-A-Nf earlier.

We're not converting the numbers, prices are set to:

- BTC/GH/Day for Scrypt and Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor
- BTC/TH/Day for SHA256

I guess this is the reason why no one is selling Scrypt-A-N Haspower. The reward is low dues to half the hash power you could provide :-( This is sad as I think Scrypt-N might play a bigger role in the future similiar to X11..... If the reward for Scrypt-A-N would rise I would love to point my rigs to provide Scrypt-A-N power.

There were some issues with some miners "couldn't get work from our stratum"/"wouldn't recognize p=price parameter". We've identified and hopefully resolved these issues a couple of hours ago. Users that were having these issues are advised to restart sgminer/bfgminer.

If you still observe these issues please send me PM.

Please note: when your miner will switch from secondary/backup pool to our stratum and vice-versa, you'll notice something like 10 second work-swap. This is normal and it works pretty much the same as switching to any other pool. Example:

Code:

Great! I will check see if this has been resolved for me and let you know in a few hours.

I guess this is the reason why no one is selling Scrypt-A-N Haspower. The reward is low dues to half the hash power you could provide :-( This is sad as I think Scrypt-N might play a bigger role in the future similiar to X11..... If the reward for Scrypt-A-N would rise I would love to point my rigs to provide Scrypt-A-N power.

Rest assure - when there will be good opportunities for buyers to earn with Scrypt-A-N, good orders will be placed. It looks like these days Scrypt is still the "king" with highest profitability on certain coins. We'll also be adding X11 in the future.

This is why NiceHash can be attractive to you as a provider/seller: NiceHash will actually become a true multi-algorithm multi-pool where provider will be able to switch algorithm just by restarting his miner with different settings. This way you'll be able to see your earning all at one place, at NiceHash

In the future we'll provide an API for the sellers as well as for the buyers to be able to automate miners switching and orders switching.

As a miner you'll be able to query our API and decide on which algorithm to point your miners in dependence of current orders profitability (if you can do a bit of scripting you can fully automate your miners to switch algos).

As a buyer you'll be able to get/set set orders via API and thus quickly cancel/submit orders for coins with different algos.

There is work being done in sgminer to allow algorithm switching without restarting it. My understanding is that with an extension implemented in the stratum protocol this can be fully automated (although presumably miners would still need to have multiple configs due to different algos needing different GPU settings etc). I hope you'll be hooking into this as this would benefit everyone:

Why did my order die?

839 it went from alive to dead, i cancel it and my fee is paid too.....Why did it go dead firstly and why wasnt the fee refunded if it was "dead"?

[ahmedjadoon]

This is stupid.Fees is taken even when we cancel order before starting.Please solve it

[kenshirothefist]

Why did my order die?

There are some pools that aren't working well with our service, probably aren't yet configured to accept massive hash rate from single connection. Please, take a look at this FAQ (https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=faq#faqb1). I'm sure those pools will soon adapt to accept massive hash rate from single connection to be compatible with services like ours and also 300+Mhs ASIC miners such as KnCminer's Titan, etc.

This is stupid.Fees is taken even when we cancel order before starting.Please solve it

839 it went from alive to dead, i cancel it and my fee is paid too.....Why did it go dead firstly and why wasnt the fee refunded if it was "dead"?

Only one-time order-submit fee is not refundable. The 2% service fee is always returned for the amount that hasn't been spent. Please, double check if it has been returned, if not, there please send me PM with details about the order (order# and pool you've used).

I do see the issue with orders that has never even been activated (no shares accepted) and one-time order-submit fee. We'll implement order check after canceling order and if order has never been started or has never entered into "Alive" state, then one-time order-submit fee will also be refunded. Please, try to understand that we have to make sure we prevent order spamming, otherwise some "not-so-nice" buyer could seriously mess with the system by submitting small various-priced orders. It's better to put safe measures now and lower them later than introducing restrictions and fees later.

Thanks!

2% fee was not deducted but I'm talking about 0.0005BTC.Isn't it too much even if our bid is not accepted.You should adopt other spam prevention measures.This is a weird excuse.Or reduce the fee to 0.0001BTC.

This service is so great to mine with >: D

I'm making more mining here than with god-damn multi pools.

[kenshirothefist]

hi ken.. as a buyer, i have problem on #471 order. i put pool url, username, and password correctly but the pool doesn't recognize me (nicehash). I tried using my GPU and the pool shows my activity.
can you help me solve this issue? thank you very much before.

ps:sorry my bad english.

You're trying to mine unsupported coin (http://www.yacoin.org/tech.html). Onyl Scrypt, Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor and SHA256 algorithms are currently supported. Please cancel your order.
