i've finally made my x11 rig working now but I get alot of restarts is this normal? Also WU is ok? 4x280x rig.

Your WU is good, don't worry about the restarts.

For the past 2 days, when I check my miner statistics, it says no data. I know the statistics page was interrupted by the DDos attacks, but will the page be restored soon? When I check the miner list, there are payable accounts with stats, but my account is not on the list. My miners have been running consistently for the last week. Do I need to restart to get back on the list or will the page be restored on its own?

somebody should explain how pools becoming "dead" also.

When mining X11 you can set higher gpu engine and achieve better hashrate. In scrypt my 280x has 1055 gpuengine, but with X11 I can put it to 1160, so try it out to where your cards can go.

you are not alone i get no data on

guess there is always the super stable wafflepool

Make sure you typed BTC address correctly in your username, we get a lot of incorrect BTC addresses and of course, we can't send BTCs on because BTC addresses are invalid. After that, make sure you are mining for correct algorithm and viewing for that algorithm.

The stats should appear online after about 10min since your activity started (accpted share).

If the order was alive at one point and then going dead, there are following reasons why this could happen:
- pool dropped connection with NiceHash due to inactivity - many pools will drop stratum connection after about 5 minutes if there are no shares being sent - this is the most likely cause - order will be alive after 2 minutes again
- pool is unstable - sometimes you can see massive number of res orders and everytime we check what is going on, we find out that all these orders use same pool and that pool is at that time dead
- pool lowered difficulty below minimal - not sure if any pool does that, but if the pool does lower difficulty too much, NiceHash will drop connection to it to prevent possible DDOS attack issued from pools side and produced by legit miners (yes, this has been already tried on NiceHash, so we implemented this protection)

I have my statistics link saved in my browser so I can quickly check my stats and payments. The link has been working for the past 2 weeks. Suddenly 2 days ago I get a No data message, exactly as shown in the link bexwhitt provided. I know the BTC payment address is correct because the link has always worked and I've been paid with the BTC address up until yesterday. So the question is, if my miners are using the same address with accepted WUs, why are there no stats available? Are you sure you have completely solved the stats problem from the DDoS? If you think it would help, I could restart the miners to see if that helps restart the stats page.

What happens if you use another BTC address?

Well I am not sure where all the figures come from but I tried a side by side NiceHash vs Clevermining comparison
Date May 21st to May 22nd full 24hrs on both with 50,000 kh/s scrypt on each pool.
Here was my results NiceHash 47.2 mh/s scored me only .11618195 BTC plus 975 doge from a backup pool.
CleaverMining 46.76 mh/s scored me .13008909 BTC
If anyone has any ideas on how to make my kh/s more profitable let me know.

You aren't even making it clear whether you were buying or selling.

We were under attack and no new orders were placed so for large amount of the time, miners were working on cheap orders for as little as 0.001 BTC/MH/day (yes some lucky buyers got quite some out of this).

Please add a HTTP-JSON API so we can check the profitability of NiceHash and the current status, so we can program scripts to control our workers.

[JHammer]

So is it normal for 1 BTC per MHS's per day to drop so much when prices rise???  I guess despite the drop we still making about the same since the price is up?   No one asking or worried about it but me so I guess so.

Or is this the new normal due to all the ASIC's coming on-line?


But a little surprised NiceHash is so low.. Since its more like the leaseRigs sites but better IMO..

[TheFridge]

I understand how the NiceHash system works for a renter. Put in a price, if your the highest your MH are filled, other wise your in the queue. My problem im noticing is I put in a price higher than what is currently listed and my MH limit doesnt get filled, yet the cheaper prices are fully filled. I know that there is a lag between switching over but it still wont fill after an hour.
I thought the higher price gets preference over which order is placed first.
Can someone let me know how it works??

Here is a screenshot. My order is in the blue unfilled to the limit. Yet below mine at 0.7 BTC/GH and hashing at 3 GH

If your order is not the top most, then you may still be in queue. Orders are filled in a following way; miners from low paying orders are directed to high paying orders, but not all at the same time, just up to 200 every 2 minutes. Orders are always being filled from top towards bottom. If your order is somewhere in the middle and orders above yours are not fully filled, then top orders have priority and you will have to wait to get hashing power.

If your pool is unstable, then you loose miners and will have to gain them again using method above. So it is very important to choose stable pool that doesn't drop connections.

FYI... My stats are active again without resetting my miners. Also my payment went out for the first time in several days once my stats became active.

But as you can see all orders above me are filled, and orders below me, way down to 0.7 are even filled. It stayed like this for another 2 hours until I cancelled the order and opened another. I was mining on Dedicated Pools Amsterdam server which is rock solid with 100% efficiency.

Then it is clearly possible that the pool was unstable. Dedicatedpools are known to be unstable, I have personally seen how dedicatedpools go down and all orders mining on it appear dead then.

[haitch]

I had an order pointed at drkpool.com:3333 - 542 GH were accepted, then my order went dead. Gave it two hours, while my physicals miners were working fine with the pool; cancelled and resubmitted the order - losing my non-refundable fee in the process. My physical miners are still running great with the pool, NiceHash has my pool as dead still.

Current order is 9235.

Not happy

I will chime in and say that DDoS protection is around 7x more expensive than the DDoS attack rental to bring said protection down.
It's a hard battle to win, but using CDN and fallbacks can help just hard to code.
