Any idea on what is up with the 8% down on SHA mining. Thanks

[bitsum]

you cancelled all my rental orders 2 hours ago - without telling me via mail - without having new method finished ( i see still the old order form )
this is very bad behaviour..


i mean: i am a "good guy" - static orders i never touch .. so you destroyed my orders.. but in this very moment the ugly bot with his "0.1 gh" orders for every price is alive again!


your new system seems to very complex.. i don't really understand what this would improve..
why do you care about bots? they help the free market to find the real price.. miners are paid, you get your fees.. every complex rule would destroy that function.. and then you probably will loose sellers and buyers.. and then you will loose fees.. think about it!
i don't like them too.. but accept them as part of the game..

exactly

orders are automatically cancelled by their new implementation whether real or bot within 2 hrs.

6% is from a drop in difficulty that has not recovered yet.  It's currently a buyers market.

After filling wallet I ordered for the first time and was surprised to see the rent was automatically cancelled after 1 hr.Mind explaining what is going on?

Orders are never cancelled after 1h by us. What is said for order status when you check it under order history?

same thing for me.I don't understand why nicehash keeps this new development even after users keep on complaining.
Cancelled - placeholder order - even though I'm real and orders are real and placed few mins before.

Write to support your order number or send me PM and I will take a look into it. It could be a bug we need to fix.

If using the extranonce subscribe for an S5 or SP20, is it normal for the miner to not fall back to the top priority pool when nicehash price drops below thresh-hold ?
On both systems, when I get a green checkmark for EN, it will stay on nicehash no matter the price, and when it falls below the required price, simply stops hashing.
Removing EN fixes this problem, but is not ideal.
Maybe you can't have the best of both worlds with EN

This should work as designed.

You should set settings like this:

primary pool: stratum.nicehash.com:3334#xnsub (or stratum.westhash.com:3334#xnsub)
worker: your-btc-address
pass: p=0.01

secondary pool: whatever...

If you are using #xnsub you can't use more then one parameter in pass, for example, you can't use p=0.01;d=512 but don't worry about this because NiceHash will set difficulty correctly, simply use only p= parameter. It will switch to your secondary pool when paying price is below threshold and switch back to NiceHash/WestHash when price is reached again.

One of our customers is looking for 1 month (or more) private rent of large AMD GPU farm (at least 100 AMD Radeon 7x or R9 series GPUs, but can be even more then 500). If you have such a farm or know someone that does, please let us know to info@nicehash.com. Thanks.

All I can say is THANK YOU! Nicehash for implementing the anti-bot measures.  These bots have been annoying and originally caused me to choose another company for hash power (even though it was typically 20% more expensive).

Now -- I can see the difference and Nicehash will be my go to for reliable hashing.

Sounds like you might have the idlebug. I had the problem for a while with S3, you have to upgrade with the firmware found on the Nicehash site. Don't know anything about the S5.

I'm using the Jan 7th firmware on the S5.
When I append #xnsub to the end of the connect URL, and only have p=0.0121 in password, it will connect to the Nicehash pool but won't fail over to my secondary when the price isn't met, even after 30 minutes.
Stays alive on nicehash, and does 0.00GH

This must be an issue with the cgminer version that Bitmain put into this particular firmware. Please report this issue to Bitmain - they should use this patch of extranonce.subscribe: https://github.com/nicehash/cgminer-ckolivas/commit/4e9c7ce68ed91ec9189d83c35b2237aca65f2b7f (this is the patch that we recommended to them, but not sure which one they actually implemented).

I am using nicehash since it is launched and will keep using it.

There is so much positive I can say about nicehash, but this post is to say where I would like to see some improvement.

There are so many people outside who do not want to share any hashrate with others, which makes new users to overpay because they get trapped into this.
How to save new users from loss and raise nicehash's popularity?

Users on nicehash use several techniques like multiorders and setting the lowest one to unlimited backed by enough btc's to extend the order.

So what can be done to improve this? I think bandwith should be differently distributed. Unlimited max hashrate can be limited in some way.
Maybe an order should get max. hashrate based on like (available hashrate/orders)+???some value based on Order/Value???.

Another solution would be restricting user to an amount of orders per alg, but I do not know how your users would react to such change.

Maybe there is another solution by fixed payment/rent, but this would turn nicehash into just a normal renting site which could turn as step back.

Thanks again for great service.

A quick look at the scrypt market on westhash shows 95 active orders, and what appears to be 1 person holding 75 of them (consecutive order numbers and/or all the same or very similar price)

There isn't anything that can be done about it though, any way you can think of to stop it is soon defeated, eg limit on number of orders just use multiple accounts. IP Limit, switching ip's is very easy.
