Fast delivery

• Massive hashing power in short amount of time

Mine on your favorite pool

• You are deciding how and when you want to buy hashing power and to which pool to direct it

Real-time statistics

• Follow your workers and their performance

Valid shares only

• Never pay for dead, faulty configured rigs or invalid shares

FOR SELLERS
Sell computing power of your PC, server, workstation, ASIC or farm.

I am a beta tester for about two weeks. So far everything is working fast and good, payments are better than with multipools. Recommend!

[singular]

Was also testing it, everything works, payments are good and come as advertised

[hearnomore]

I've been using this service as a buyer and it does work very nicely. Great work!

[gsupp]

I have several of my data center hosted rigs sending stable hashes to NiceHash, so far everything has been great.

[Anonz]

This is looking good.

You have a Gridseed in the picture there, can you tell me which miner you support that would work with it. You're saying that only sgminer is compatible with your pool, but it does not support Gridseed. Thanks.

We've tested BFGminer for gridseed (http://cryptomining-blog.com/1396-download-bfgminer-3-10-0-for-windows-scrypt-mining-on-gridseed-5-chip-asics/) and it works great.

We haven't tested the cgminer-for-gridseed versions - that said it might be that some of the forks of cgminer-3-7-2 with gridseed support might have been patched with upstream patches from latest cgminer and they might work - just give it a try - connect your miner to stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3333 - it will start hashing instantly and if all that you'll get are rejects, then your software is not compatible with our service - however if you're getting accepts then you're already earning bitcoins ... btw ... cgminer 3.7.2 is an really old version and we really encourage you to use newer versions or alternatives - besides security patches there are also speed improvements in newer versions/alternatives.

Cool.... any plans of adding x11 to the features? Seems to be the trending algo now...

[Dophoeve]

Nice idea!

When will the payouts happen, every once a day?

Will give it a go

[kenshirothefist]

When will the payouts happen, every once a day?

Payments are automatic and are issued four times a day if your unpaid balance is greater than 0.002 BTC.

Yes, of course. We'll add X11 in the near future (probably next week). If there will be a demand we'll also add other algorithms, without any problems.

How can someone looking to pay more than the current rate for hash power see the total available?

E.g. I want to see all available hash power including that which will kick in at a higher rental rate due to some rig owners waiting for the rate to rise above their minimum setting.

[sonysasankan]

Hi, I have some feedback to share.

I like the easiness of simply adding a pool to the conf/bat files from the miner's side. But as a renter, I found the method and calculations to be quite a deterrent. I cannot simply look at a list of rig speeds and and choose a speed and duration to rent, for example a 7MH/s for 6 hours. The only option I have is to input that  I want to spend this many BTC from the wallet, a BTC/GH/Day that is useless to me (without something to compare it with) and a calculated total number of hashes. What about the time/duration.

If a new coin is released, Ideally I would like to rent 20MH/s for 6 hours than 2.5MH/s for two days. I haven't gone ahead and ordered anything, so I'm not sure if there is an option to chose a time period after placing the order. If there is, there needs to be clear instructions on what exactly I am receiving for the BTC I'm paying.

Betarigs and leaserigs works because as a customer Its pretty self explanatory.... each rig is listed with a price and the speed, and the price you pay goes higher as the rental duration increases. Once you have the duration set, a confirmation page telling you the final cost is displayed to accept or reject. The total number of hashes I purchased is a good reference to go by I'f im trading hashes (like cex.io). Otherwise XXX MH/s is pretty much an universal standard of units for GPU mining.

Ok nice.

I saw the comment about the reject rate, that seems to be the issue for me.

I only get rejects, i use cgminer 3.7.2. I thought this was the last version that supported scrypt mining right..?

Some help please..

You must use sgminer 4.0.0 or newer. It is all written in first comment.

Very cool service I am going to point my rig there soon

This feature will be implemented in the near future. It's not trivial to automatically detect hash power of rigs, therefore we postponed this feature for a week or so. But yes, you'll be able to see an approximate value of how much hash power is available (besides the one that is currently set to active orders).

Thanks, I'll try bfgminer. I tried dtbartle's cgminer compiled about a week ago and all it did was rejects with "share above target".

Great service. Been test mining here for about a week and it works great. Very easy to set up and much better payouts then multipools.
