Any plans to add Mars or Myriad-Groestl algorithm?

I think Mars(MNX) should be added.

You should make a tab in the miner app where people can choose what coin to mine. I've notice that many time I mine a coin which is not the most remunerative. Making an "auto mode" (like what it is now) and an "advance mode" (where ppl can choose the coin) could be interesting.

Claymore v10.1 announce:

- now if miner has to recreate DAG for devfee, new DAG generation time will be included in devfee time.
- improved "-gser" option, now you can set custom delay between DAG generation on GPUs, check Readme for details.
- added detailed stats about rejected shares per GPU ("s" key).
- added "-logsmaxsize" option.
- fixed issues with "-r -1" option value.
- EthMan: added detailed stats mode in web server.
- a few minor bug fixes and improvements

Has the option to set vardiff via password field on miners been completely removed? It seems d= ... has no affect on my miners anymore =(

It does not depend on the miner, but on the pool.

So, I guess the answer is no? ... used to be u could set it  and pool would honor it =)   before this v2 of nicehash =/

Hey there,

I am having trouble maintaining profitability across Scrypt and X11 to bid high enough to get consistent hashing power, and the fixed prices are always above profitability.

What are the people mining who are paying these prices? Some are buying massive amounts at twice the rate I can. I'd like to be a part of the competitive market, but I've tried exhaustively and I can't find what coins, pools or technology is needed to bid at those higher levels.

Please advise.

Thank you,

CA

You are totally correct, I see this on CryptoNight. Someone pays 10% more than Monero can give when mining on a usual pool. This is either a rigged game from NiceHash or a huge robot mistake, someone simply loses money. There are no coins more profitable than Monero, so if you see on WhatToMine.com that NiceHash pays more, the game is either rigged or someone loses money big time.

A clarification from NiceHash would be useful.

I don't think this is rigged I believe some people are willing to pay more just for the fun of mining ya they can go buy coins from a exchange for less but that removes the mining part I have my own rigs and have been mining for 4 yrs now and I really do this as a hobby not for profit so even if my power where to be more than I make I would still mine

The problem is you see people running at speeds that would cost them $10-$20k daily at profitability levels that are burning through 50% of their principal or more.

I've asked Nicehash to tell me where these people are sending their hashing power.

Usually only the bottom 20% of the market might be profitable. The rest of it can't be people throwing away 10s of thousands of dollars away every day for the fun of it, especially not the guys who are losing this much on single orders.

You probably never bought hashpower on NiceHash and do not understand its profitability factors. You have to buy at about 3% less than what pool pays you to mine CryptoNight just to break even. In reality you have to buy at even less rate if you want to have profit. I doubt anyone can dump 1 bitcoin everyday just for fun of it, and that's only on CryptoNight. I really hope it's not a rigged game and someone really had to scratch their heads fixing robots went out of control.

Never mined at nicehash before has anyone got the stratum for mining Monero or bitgold.Thanks in advance

Take a look at ckpool.org solo pool on here there are ppl renting 500t or 600t or even more trying to hit a btc block there are btc ltc and other pools setup just for solo mining would I put $5000 to hope to hit a block no but if you do thats 12.5X6000 so that original $5000 doesn't sound like a lot and nicehash will never tell anyone where other ppl are mining at also just because whattomine says x coin is the most profitable thats bullshit if you no how to do the math you'll find more profitable coins to mine also if you throw a bunch of hash at x coin because the difficulty is down that coin may not be profitable to mine but 3 weeks from now when it gets pumped you cash out  

edit: yes I have rented hash from nicehash but not to pool mine I solo mined a bunch of peercoin and made more than I paid at a fixed price

Now somebody buys Ethereum hashpower at 0.0100 BTC/GH/s while realistically you can only make 0.0078 considering the network hashrate. I also made quite a lot on NiceHash, but I used profitability factors I know, if hashpower buying price rose just 8% from what I was aiming at I would be losing money. It was mostly due to a good day. But buying at 0.0100 while you can make 0.0078 in a long run is not really reasonable. And this happens too often on NiceHash, so I have a good reason to think the game is rigged. Pool luck? But you can't predict how long it will take to mine a block.

And I see it far worse on X11 and Scrypt.. People paying like 2-3x what they could possibly profit, large orders lasting for days on end.

Need help with direct mining of Nicehash pool(s) issue.


I downloaded Claymore Dual and wrote a .bat file that would connect my miner to the Nicehash Eth pool and the Nicehash Lbry pool.  To be perfectly clear, I am NOT USING Nicehash Legacy miner nor am I using Nicehash 2.x miner.  I am using Claymore's miner as a stand alone and pointing my rig at the Nicehash pools. 

Here is my command line:

Code:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://daggerhashimoto.usa.nicehash.com:3353 -ewal my btc wallet address -epsw x -esm 3 -allpools 1 -estale 0 -dpool stratum+tcp://lbry.usa.nicehash.com:3356 -dwal my btc wallet address 

Please note my btc wallet address is a Nicehash btc wallet.

Problem:  When I run this and the command window pops up, it shows the second pool as being a decred pool, and, the hashrate indicates a decred hashrate, not an Lbry hashrate.  What gives?  I didn't run it long enough to see if shares were actually generated because I'm not interested in decred, and I'm pretty sure it's NOT mining Lbry, based on what I see.  This happens on both of my rigs.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Indeed, the very best benchmark for REAL Scrypt and X11 profitability is https://prohashing.com/ since it mines dozens of large and small coins. You have to deduct 3% from this site's displayed profitability and that will be the break even price to buy hashpower on NiceHash.

It's hillarious to see somebody right now buying CryptoNight hashpower at 0.5000 BTC/MH/day while MiningPoolHub displays 0.2170 BTC/MH/day profitability for mining Monero.

Hi,
Can we find that the seller who is mining at higher hashing power? If yes, then how to contact him to buy hashing power?
