Ahh I don't think we can/ suppose to use our selling hashrate adrress to become our  deposit  address with nice hash... are we? Lol like some kinda of time travel  paradox

If you mine directly to your NiceHash deposit address, you will be paid directly into it (and no BTC transaction is created). We recommend this method for people that also buy hashing power. There are two benefits; you do not have to wait for transaction to become confirmed (as soon as you are credited, you can spend these funds by placing orders) and there are no transaction fees.

That's perfect, thanks. I was unaware that there were two wallets, one for mining balance and one for deposit. Makes sense though! Thanks!

There is only 1 wallet provided by us. You can use it for mining as well (we changed that rule several months ago).

So I've been pointing gpu miners at nicehash on and off for past 2 years or so . Done quite well thanx.
Just recently upgraded my hardware.
According to your site you say an  Nvidia GTX 1070 will do 435 SOL. 
So i now have 2 1070's in one rig and I'm using  WIN64 eqm v 1.0.3b  and I get 617 sol total or about 308 sol per card.
out of box no tweaks or OC.
That's quite a difference from the 435 sol claimed on your website.
So what am I doing wrong? Though not overclocking I wouldn't have thought that would  account for the approx 25% diff.
Have just done some googling and see the 2 instance trick so just started that now as I write.
Each instance is reporting 317 sol so slight improvement but still no where near 435 as you guys state.
Also I run a 750ti that gets 68 sol and a 1050 that does 116 sol all pointed at nicehash using WIN64 eqm v 1.0.3b
I'm thinking/hoping I can do a lot better with my hardware with a few simple tweaks?
Any suggestions? Thanx guys .

We suggest you to use NiceHash Miner. It will auto do best config for your cards. https://www.nicehash.com/?p=nhmintro

If you are more tech guy and like to run miners on your own, then use excavator instead of EQM: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1777827.0

To reach optimal mining performance for equihash, reduce TDP, overclock core and overclock memory to the max. 1070 gets even more than 435 sol/s with TDP less than 100%.

Check out some of the threads in the Altcoins: Mining section about ZCASH, there will be lots of people that have posted there settings for mining ZCASH with GTX 1070s. As with just about every mining algorithm, you will need to do some tweaking to get optimal performance.

Alright maybe i am doing something wrong, but when i go and add say daggerhasimoto as my algo i want to mine and put in nicehash own pools to mine too and put my nicehash btc address, i get back "bad pool provided" and to try pool verify, which i do and comes back 100% but still wont let me save the pool. What am i doing wrong?

switching to excavator with a little oc was an immediate boost to 782 sol for the two 1070's . ill take it!
gotta find sweet spot now without crashing system and where to adjust that TDP setting.  wip
Thank you kindly for your help

Nicehash miner and excavator down clock my gtx 1080 memory. Ewbf gives me better sol/s. I have to Oc My card +800 on memory (because excavator will bring it down 400, so really im at 5400) to get comparable performance. Pretty annoying, hope they fix that

This is actually not possible, it is also discussed in this FAQ.

You can mine into your NiceHash wallet account when using your own hardware (that is, if you are a seller). However as a buyer you can not place a self-order, you can only place orders, targeting 3rd party pools (not NiceHash stratums).

Thank you for using our service!


Best regards,
NiceHash team.

The downclock is standard feature of all CUDA applications. If you don't like that, talk to NVIDIA. P2 state has lower memory clock than P0 state. To override this, you have to overclock memory.

[SS2006]

no problems.  its just that without overclocking, ewbf hits 500 sol/s. not complaining, cause i can use ewbf no problem, i just happen to actually like nicehashminer, and would rather not OC my card +800 to make it comparable, as its not stable at those numbers.

Been using excavator and after fiddling about for an hour and crashing numerous times,
i've got core and memory oc'd at +100 and +295 respectively. TDP AT 70%   gives me just under 400 sol per card but efficiency best i could get for now at 3.5H/w
Certainly is nice having that hash per watt thingy reporting.
Now i know why I quit oc. Gets tedious trying to find sweet spot. Be nice to have known mining parameters for cards. set it forget it. Though I suppose for
some of us that may take all the fun out of it, yeah?

Hashing question....

If there's a numbers discrepancy between the miner and the website, which one is correct?

Also, I'm running a Ryzon 1700 @ 3.9Ghz and a Radeon 480 at 1340/1900.....are these numbers any good?  My CPU never goes above 59C and my GPU stays under 70C.

[favelle75]

Thanks Jox. So does 0.2Mhash for a Ryzen at 3.9Ghz seem all right? Is there tweaks I should do within the miner to make it even better?

[sundownz]

It seems low... I have an FX-8350 at stock speed that has averaged 0.24 over the course of the last week on the web stats. I would be surprised if Ryzen wasn't faster.

[sundownz]

I do have one question... how can I avoid my miners switching to another algorithm for like 1-2 minutes.

This happens several times a week -- usually with X11... where it has a tiny spike in profitability then drags my miners over for just 1-2 minutes. But it seems that the time spent switching algorithms makes it not worth it.

That's what I was thinking.  I look at CPU usage too and most cores are at around 55-63%. Is there some settings I can go into to fine tune it higher? Temps are good at 55C.....but that's not surprise when they are only at half load, ha ha.

I get ~450 Mh/s with my Ryzen 1700X @ 4.0Ghz with it set to use 8 threads in the NiceHash miner.  How many threads is your CPU set to use?

[favelle75]

Well.....how do you set it to threads?  LOL

I have chosen only one algo to "switch" between, that way I always mine the same algo at all times!
