well , more than 3 hours mining nothing ... miners works just fine , nothing registers on NH side , no payouts , balance not changing , so on.

latest nh miner not working on eth, everything installs fine on amd gpu but i get json-rpc error probably cannot connect.

anyone having this problem ?

Ethereum mining not registered again  .

This night 3.00 am - 8.00 am, 5 hour no mining of Ethereum was registered at all. Same as before looking directly at the miners all looked fine and they were running.

Just stopping the miner and restarting solved the problem. But now I started some of the gpu using "ethminer" to avoid total downtime if Nicehash miner fails.

All the best!

i also have problem with the 1.3.0.0 version. quark benchmark was skipped and lyra2rev2 was 100% rejected even when I copy configuration from previous version.

and how much time it takes to create the dag file for ethereum? i have pentium g3220 cpu, 8GB ram and 2x radeon 280x.

thank you

You should not copy the old config for lyra2rev2 cause the extra launch parameters have changed in the new sgminer.. it will give you HW errors as far as my testing goes..

It will usually take about 10 minutes or so to create the DAG file..

i do not know what am I doing wrong. I have reinstalled computer and also put the card to another computer, but lyrarev2 is still not working with the 1.3.0.0 version. And also ethereum benchmark is not working too.
this is the log from ethereum. Can someone tell me what is wrong please?

How do I buy Ethereum mining? I've used NiceHash in the past for Scrypt coins and it was easy: Create an account at a pool, find the required mining information for the pool, enter that info on NiceHash when buying and let it roll.

I'd like to mine some Ethereum in this manner too but damn if I'm not confused right now on how to go about doing that in an easy way like I remember...

Some guidance would be much appreciated.

The feature for mining Ethereum is currently only for sellers/providers (miners), and not for buying Ethereum based hashing power. Please see this news for details: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=news&id=64

Best regards,
NiceHash.

It seems quite obvious NH isn't allowing buyers because they are keeping all the mined ETH for themselves and paying less than market rate to boot.

Another problem with nicehashbot......

It is not crashing at least for now. 24hours and no crashes! WOOHOO! FIrst time ever...

But.... Now (since this morning) it is not updating properly. Meaning I could remove an order and it will not be removed on line, and I have to exit and restart it to get a proper prices update.. Otherwise it shows the old price from whenever it stopped updating..


Is anyone actually passing this info I've been putting in here to nicehash support?

still 99% rejected hashrate. thare has to be a problem in the 1.3.0.0 version.

How much less? It looks like it may be 30% less comparing a calculator to the NH report.

Where did you get your calculations from? If you are using online calculators such as http://badmofo.github.io/ethereum-mining-calculator/ or http://ethereum-mining-calculator.com/ you should know that these calculators are completely wrong. They are not taking the past DAG file increase into account which makes their calculations completely wrong. You can only compare our profit by profits from another pool with the same miner speed and you'll see that the profits are approximately the same.

Moreover, the math that you are doing is not that simple. The BTC/ETH exchange rate is flapping up and down, and our profitability is normalized to exchange rate, difficulty and other parameters. You can't simply compare apples to oranges. How much BTC you make depends also on the exchange rate in a particular moment. That said - for someone, who wishes to speculate, or do manual exchange multiple times per day, you would probably earn a bit more with direct mining and doing manual exchange (with the exception in case if Exchange rate suddenly drops significantly - in this case you would loose in comparison to auto-exchange). On the other hand NiceHash brings a good alternative for someone who would like to get simplified mining with auto-exchange and not worrying on the Exchange rate.

No, and your explanation is total rubbish. Have you bothered to even READ what you are saying? Short version: It is impossible for you to allow buyers, but you can buy and are the only buyer.......at a discount price.

What your alternative IS is a spoonfed version of mining where it is simple and easy and pink fluffy clouds..............while you rape the miners on price. Thanks, but this ecosystem has had enough of vultures.

I have to chime in here.

NOT to defend Nicehash as I have difficulties with their support (and lack of it) and their nicehashbot s/w just utterly sucks, BUT...


They are in this for $$$.. Not to be giving away their profits and money. What do you think EVERY company on the planet is doing? Profiting off other people.
So why is it really a surprise that they would buy low and sell high, or buy low and use for their own mining!?!? Are you seriously pissed at them for making profits!?!?!?

They have always paid lower than other rental places. Rarely they paid more due to some external reason temporarily.

It is how business works.

Not that you are clueless, but you are missing the main point. Making a profit...I got no probs with that. Claiming you can mine coins but buyers can't rent the same fucking miners so they can mine coins is simply st00000pid.

Need some help, using nichash miner 1.3, everything working well except ethereum getting error like SS

thanks

Cluelessness has nothing to do with it. I missed the part where they claim you can rent ethereum hash rate from them that they pay xxx for.

Seriously guys! Fix nicehashbot..

I removed an order last night, and this morning it showed not on my list, but when I logged into nicehash.com it was STILL rented and eating up my BTC!!!

Ethereum mining not registered again third time 

This night 11.00 am - 16.00 am, 5 hour no mining of Ethereum was registered at all. Same as before looking directly at the miners all looked fine and they were running.

Now all gpu in the rig was running same instance of NiceHash miner, connecting to European server.

Just stopping the miner and restarting solved the problem.

Hi,

NiceHash Miner version 1.3.0.1 released, it brings some bugfixes: https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/releases/tag/1.3.0.1

[CryptoSalad]

When will their be sections to rent  ETH power out as tried looking everywhere on the site to buy hash power for Ethereum and theirs no options to buy just mine on like pooled mining.

Hi, im still having problems, downloading it from the github.
It stops after 40mb download.
Is there any solution for this? I have no problembs with downloading files on other sites.
