Missing .0026 BTC from my account. Sent in a support ticket earlier this week. Just trying to get attention to it. PM for account e-mail. Thank you.

What's with the crazy Difficulty my miner is getting from nicehash on Scrypt?? I'ts going up to 500K+ most of the time which is highly unstable on an L3+.

This started pretty much after the NH update recently.

nicehash used to be good and a profit could be made renting Hash but sadly to say with most coins people want to mine you are better buying at an exchange now

With the recently imposed limitation on price downsteps for all algorithms NiceHash became a place where basically only high-volume purchasers can prosper that can afford fixed order creation fees. Disgusting place to buy hashpower. Was way better 1 month ago.

I can't even sell my hashpower anymore because their "new" client is buggy and never works. I've gone back to mining the coins directly.

I discovered this tool today. Installed it and started mining.
Fast and easy.
Any drawback? is it profitable?

That depends on many factors. You need to figure it out yourself.

@nicehash Where is the old overlay of all paying prices nicehash?
You really did it this time.
I noticed that you don't have support here anymore.
Do you have stockholders?
Time to close the nicehash tab and go to MINING RIG RENTALS!
And again ...a blast from the past... 11-2014 >

Had some miners on nicehash, what a load of crap

Everything closed when I wake up, plus my office is cold.  "error in server response, jsonrpc....internalservererror"

If you are mining lyra2rev2(Vertcoin) please move away from coinotron. They currently have 68% of the Vertcoin network hashrate. We prefer that you mine to p2pool. Then even with a majority hashrate we wouldn't have anything to worry about . Also, it seems that nicehash only lists a few pools to mine to, so here are some alternatives

Alternative pools:

p2pools network 1 pools (100mh/s and up):

p2pool network 2 pools( under 100mh/s):

http://scanner2.alwayshashing.com/

Traditional pools:

Setup your own p2pool (no fees, best payout, easy to do):

Time to close the nicehash tab and go to MINING RIG RENTALS!

Have you seen the rent prices on MINING RIG RENTALS? It's a complete rip off, I do not understand who would buy hashpower at those prices.

===<BIG SNIP>===

I have a question maybe you can help I keep getting stratum disconnects from nicehash on sgminer mining xmr and its turning into a real pain I even tried to download and run nicehash miner still the same on all my rigs I noticed sgminer is using api port 4000 or 4001 I have those ports open for my pc running storj farming could this be interfering with sgminer I no Im not the only one having trouble just not sure if my trouble is this reason thanks for any input

DISCONNECTS ARE NOT MINER-SPECIFIC--

I have the same problem.  Currently, I am mining CryptoNight with CPUminer-OPT, CPUminer-Multi, CCminer, and SGminer.  All the miners disconnect every few minutes.  The statistics on NiceHash are not consistent, either, as the miners are not connected long enough to obtain a good average.  I also notice that the pool difficulty is set at 300 thousand, rather than 40 thousand or 80 thousand.

I am earning more this week than last, but the live stats are not reliable.  NiceHash should comment.       -scryptr

We have the same situation here, both CPU and GPU mining gets frequent disconnects and stratum interrupts. The miners reconnect quickly, but it's definitely not working quite right.

I also have been having this issue

need help? how to get 3d hooked up? to pool?

Is nicehash fubar ATM? If I can get a rental started it just burns away with 90+% rejects, more often it wont even start, which is just burning through cancellation fees... the pool details are the same as they always have been and I know the pools are fine because I'm mining them with my personal miners. I feel like I'm being scammed, charge for rejects then charge for cancellation, perhaps the "new order fee" should be refunded if nicehash cancels the order.

You are right, they sometimes cancel orders and do not refund the fixed order fee. I also constantly get 10% stale shares on DaggerHashimoto, that does not happen often on X11 nor Equihash. Nicehash became hugely problematic. Also CryptoNight was recently pumped removing a lot of hashrate from other algorithms. I think in effect the buying prices will fall eventually - buyers collectively have to account for those risks. Plus a lot of miner software bugs and everyday 30-minute marketplace downs.

how to configure cryptonight miner?
i am using 5.6.1
i tried this code, sgminer opens and closes no mining..


sgminer.exe  -o stratum+tcp://cryptonight.in.nicehash.com:3355 -u MYBTCWALLET -p x

USE SGMINER-GM 5.5.5-8--

If you look in the source code for SGminer-5.6.1, you will find no CryptoNight kernel.  Instead, NiceHash modified SGminer-GM, which has code from Wolf0 for CryptoNight.

SGminer-GM v5.5.5-8 can be found on the NiceHash GitHub.  It will work well on NiceHash.       --scryptr

thanks you i will try this version

and my code is correct?

bring back the old nicehash front page !

[ca1987]

Trying to send to multipool.us port 8888 (coin switching) and it goes dead every time it switches from BTC to DGB. I haven't monitored any other switches.

I have the diff set to 262144.. I can mine both coins independently just fine on their own ports.

Any ideas? Anyone using 8888 successfully?
