[ANN] NiceHash.com - sell & buy hash rate cloud mining service / multipool

[atomicchaos]

Guys, i just wanted to know if nicehash's problems have been solved? I used to come here and see complaint after complaint about how their service doesn't work properly, does the problem still exist or has it been solved?

I've switched back here and they have been stable for a couple days now for me.

+1.

NiceHash is back to #1 on my list of mining pools. I have been back here for the better part of a week now. Getting the best hash rate with my Zeus Miners here. The latest cgminer (v4.3.5-scrypt.1) seems to do even better than the latest bfgminer (4.3.1 ).

Has anyone had experience running Antminers S1s and S3s on NiceHash?

The latest cgminer (v4.3.5-scrypt.1) seems to do even better than the latest bfgminer (4.3.1 ).

I've got a Blizz X3 and Hurr X6 running on https://github.com/zeusminer/cgminer_zeus (cgminer 3.1.1-zeus) and I'm seeing very acceptable hashrates ((avg):1.322Mh/s / (avg):10.70Mh/s), extremely low rejects (zero in almost an hour now), and no disconnects that I can see from Nicehash ... Wonder if it's worth trying 4.3.5 ... can you define "even better"?

I LOVE bfg and it's dynamic growing queues, but the way it maintains and single chain for all the pools it's connected to, expecting you to only be mining a single coin at a time, doesn't play well with how I've got Nicehash setup as a primary with a price threshold and then multipool.us as a backup when Nicehash isn't hitting my price demands ... I get all sorts of untracked share rejects when using bfg ... might see if I can implement the dynamic queuing in cgminer ... I'm amazed it's not already there, such a great feature ...


Edit: Never mind, found my own answer ... pairing them up with 4.3.5 is yielding more than 1 MH/s more hashrate somehow -

(avg):13.10Mh/s


Edit 2: Looks like dynamic queuing is already in cgminer -

Version 3.11.0 - 25th January 2014
<snip>
- Generically increase the queue if we are mining on a pool without local work generation each time we run out of work.

This error means that your miner modified ntime too many seconds ahead which means that target pool may refuse such share. Some pools may permit some seconds ahead and some may not, but we don't know which do and which don't so we do not allow ntime to be rolled more than current time (we don't permit rolling into the future). I would suggest you to contact ASIC developer and request a fix on mining software/firmware. Miner should always exhaust extranonce range first, before doing ntime rolling.

Thanks, going back to the latest stock firmware fixed it.  I was running '3rd party' (Kano's - an Antminer dev apparently) firmware when I was experiencing this.  I'm not sure if the problem was the cgminer 4.3.5 in his build, or the driver that's built with that version vs. 3.12 which is in stock, but everything is very happy again with the stock S2 firmware!

I looked at twitter before I posted. I must have looked right before they posted that. sorry.

[jeezy]

Pool is under heavy fire right now. All scrypt miners just dropped connection. Expect hickups.

All,

Anyone selling SHA-256 with a Cointerra Terraminer IV? I've just pointed mine at NiceHash, and I'm getting 60-80% rejects.  cgminer version is 4.1.0...  so should be supported... I'm specifying -P d=1024 to help with this, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I am also running about 45 MH/s worth of Zeusminer Scrypt through Nicehash using cgminer 4.3.5 and it's rock solid, sub-1% rejects.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Sounds like exactly the problem I mentioned a few posts above ... I was getting about 60% rejects ... can you log in to the unit and see the cgminer output directly?  It's probably running in a screen session just like on the S2 ...

The fix for me was to revert to stock firmware which is running cgminer 3.12 ...

Sorry, I missed this reply. I was under the impression that cgminer versions below 3.7.2 would NOT work with NiceHash? You're suggesting  v3.12 DOES work with NiceHash?

[jeezy]

As expected here comes the DDOS. Pool seems to be working tho.

Working like a champ on the S2.  Not sure if it's in any way modified though.

Well...  I guess it's worth a try....  I have also contacted Cointerra support, but from what I've heard, they probably won't be helpful

scrypt is going crazy...almost 1.2/GH before....what is all this scrypt demand for??

Wow...  believe it or not, Cointerra support answered within an hour and provided me with a new Firmware with cgminer 4.3.5.  Unfortunately it did not fix my issue...  but still...  I'm happy with that response! Obviously others have had different experiences... but I can't fault this particular situation.

we are under ddos again?

[jstefanop]

what scrypt coin is everyone using nice hash to mine? Scrypt price is crazy...

[nicehashdev]

I took a deeper look into ntime rolling issues produced by certain miners and it looks like that certain mining software implementations heavily rely on the fact, that default slush's implementation of stratum protocol (https://github.com/slush0/stratum-mining):

def check_ntime(self, ntime):
        '''Check for ntime restrictions.'''
        if ntime < self.curtime:
            return False

        if ntime > (self.timestamper.time() + 1000):
            # Be strict on ntime into the near future
            # may be unnecessary
            return False

        return True

actually allows ntime to be rolled 1000 seconds in the future! It means that every miner could actually be solving a block that would be valid after 16 minutes! But we all know that all coins have blocks max. 10 minutes ahead. Well, I am not a specialist when it comes to cryptocoins, but I don't think it is valid to simply assume 1000 seconds rolling into the future is acceptable and a valid block could be generated out of block that has time so heavily into the future??

Can some crypto-specialist can confirm whether this is okay or not (considering altcoins too and not only bitcoin)?

ugh...why u make it so hard to join this pool with gridseeds/blades/windows been searching for 2hrs trying to find anything to make this work really don't wanna read this whole thread just to not find an answer either...

i just get rejects i can't get anything to come up that isn't cgminer..ugh i so wanna mine on this pool seeing your the highest paying right now someone needs to fork a cgminer for nicehash for gridseeds/blades i have a war machine hosted that is on here but i have no idea how they do it...
