curious question ? why are you guys mining with NVidia and AMD video cards ? do you have asic miners like Avalon , Bitmain , Spondoolies just to name a few. even though video cards are asic's but real slow for mining. or your just having fun ?

GPUs are non ASICs.
Some algos can only be mined with GPUs and can at times, and depending on your electricity cost, be profitable (quark, x11, neoscypt and lyra2v2 for example).

mine is more jsut having fun.(i run 27 ths on kano.is). I have my hd7970 making about a 1$ a day.. I know its not much and im certain its costing me money. but its using up my vid card which i dont use for gaming. And i have the rewards going straight to my trezor. Make for a nice rainy day fund a few years down the road.

Dunno if this happens to anyone else but... I just downloaded nicehash miner and catalyst driver it suggested (15.7.1?). I'm using windows and 3 x R9 280X per rig. When I was mining with sgminer basic I set up my fan speed using afterburner. Now everytime I turn on nicehash miner my fan speed drops to 25% or less and my GPU temperature slowly rises to 92 or higher (haven't dared to watch how high it climbs).

Even when I try to manually set the fan speed using afterburner the fans speed get turned down when I turn on nicehash miner. Normal ?

YES the new version completely ignores the values you have set in the config file.. Forgot that in my earlier post

You can set vent speeds and temps up at settings->Groups->4(for ATI)->Agorithms->ExtraLaunchParameters ( foe each ) ...

ahh ok. last version let me set a system wide setting for the algos  ill edit for each one and test it again.. but im certain that the new miner bundled with it is what's causes me to lock up. Soon as it loads that file my card crashes and has to reboot to fix it.

My 7950s did not work with previous versions but now are ok. Also have no problem with 280X all versions . And there are other parameters to set ( I have no time to test)

OK I am not complaining, long may it continue,    but does anyone know why Nicehash has been paying well over the odds on SHA256 for the last 24 Hours? In the past I have been able to track it down to someone buying Hash to try an get an overdue Block on Slush's Pool, but this time that does not seem to be the case.

could be everyone trying to capitalize on kano pool as of late..  of course just speculation:)

ok for those that upgraded to 1.2.3 you need to along with copying the files (clean install no need to bother with this).. delete the config. json.. or make a backup by renaming the file...  The old config does not include instructions for nicehashminer to operate the x15 properly.. If you delete it and rerun the miner it creates a new file then you can open both and make the necessary edits to get it going like you had it.. hope that helps

Seems prolonged as well.

[jkminkov]

scryptjanenf16 pool give errors for some hours and hashminer did not switch to axiom - connection fail port eu:3348

[restless]

Tried for an hour or so to make 1.2.3 work
Benchmark won't pass - in log.txt I see:

- I see no way to set it to use stratum instead of http

fuck, the prise goes up to 0.0080 with an unlimited and a 5 PHs order :-(

Will Yesminers make a new burn in test

You think this is what they are doing? If so their fake miners are 10-20Th/s, not 10Ph/s

[willi9974]

yes only 10 / 20 THs, but she show a video demonstration from the yesminers (fake) mining farm on eligius

Hard to read the speed on those small images. Looks like 1Th/s or 10Th/s but can't read the decimal places.

[shabbat]

Help me!

I understand nothing.
the lyre, as should give HD7850?

I 2.1mh/s on lyra2rev2

I install the new version v1.2.3.0
Driver ati 15.7.1 Win7x64

This is normal or not? simply I had not worked when this algorithm.
I understand that I do not have to optimize?

[nicehash]

Take a look at this excellent profitability on Scrypt and SHA256 algorithms!

Join the ride!

How to use extranonce with AntMiner S7 and nicehash?

[Nortron]

Hello,

I'm SUPER new to this world...  Got my hands on an Antminer S2,  got it running and all,  but on the Stats page it shows that Extranonce subscription is off...  I've tried reading up on it, etc. but can't figure out how to make that work?

My CG Miner: 

Cgminer Version   4.9.1+

Not sure if that helps...

Thanks,

[nicehash]

@Truman AntMiner S7 supports extranonce.subscribe out of the box, simply enable it by putting #xnsub at the tail of pool stratum connection:

stratum+tcp://sha256.eu.nicehash.com:3334#xnsub

or

stratum+tcp://sha256.usa.nicehash.com:3334#xnsub

You can also use other locations, see here: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=gstarted#seller

@Nortron Antminer S2 is unfortunately too old and does not support extranonce.subscribe. The only workaround for you would be to setup Stratum proxy, see here: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=asic

Best regards,
NiceHash team.

how does this help me "#xnsub"
what has that for a benefit?

Our service is working as a proxy, forwarding and aggregating hashing power from connected miners to the orders that buyers submit. Work on orders is dynamic -> orders are being created, deleted, etc. and therefore miners have to switch between these orders. If one does not enable extranonce.subscribe (#xnsub), it's miner will be disconnected and re-connected immediately to new order - and this disconnection requires your miner to start working on new jobs, causing a small performance drop during the re-connection. This might happen once in a while, usually several times per day. This is where #xnsub comes into play. If you enable it, your miner will never re-connect, it will be constantly connected and will be switching to new jobs automatically without disruption, thus making your mining fully stable. It a small, but not negligible improvement, therefore all miners are encouraged to utilize extranonce.subscribe (#xnsub).
