Confusing UI. Have a look at betarigs their interface is clear.

BetaRigs is based on a completely different kind of rental system then NiceHash.  NiceHash lets you lease hashes; BetaRigs lets you lease rigs.

I like NiceHash and I understand that it's another system as BR or LS, but the user interface is really confusing in the beginning. Not intuitive at all. But I don't mind, that might keep prices low ^^

Does anyone know?

When using multiple workers to point to NiceHash can you use the same BTC address as the username for all the workers or do you have to give each one a different BTC address?

Same BTC address for multiple workers works fine.

Great!  Thank you for the reply!

We welcome all suggestions. How would you like it then?

This assertion indicates a lack of understanding as to the difference between manual leasing services, such as Betarigs and Leaserig, whereby you assign your rig to be available at a price and wait for someone to choose to rent it.

Nicehash allows you to simply point your miners at their service, state a Bitcoinwallet payment address as the user name and then just let it run. You will earn a steady Bitcoin income at the stated rate all the while your miner is hashing to the nicehash pool.

Why is the price so low?

In betarigs it is 0.00454 Btc per mh/s.

[cryptodevil]

At Betarigs the price can be whatever you want to make it, doesn't mean it'll get rented, or that you won't get asked for partial refund if your rig doesn't perform as advertised for the duration of the rental period.

You know what a smart move would be? Set up your rig for rental at Leaserig or Betarig and, in the meantime, have it pointed at Nicehash as pool2 so that it can make a steady income for you while you wait for it to be rented.

GridSeed users: here is a cgminer 3.7.2 linux build with support for GridSeed ASIC miners (Mini USB miner and G-Blade miner) with some extra bugfixes, performance patches and NiceHash.com compatibility: https://www.nicehash.com/software/cgminer-gc3355-nicehash-linux.zip

Build based on this jmordica GIT source code: https://github.com/jmordica/cgminer-gc3355

Try it and report if it works for you.

Hi,

Can you change the payouts to daily bases? i got lots of ~0.002 incoming transactions, and when i want to spend it, i have to pay a big tx fee.

Specifically, i want to send 0.05btc, but i have to pay 0.0003 btc for fee.

Indeed, in this case your tx fees might be significant. We'll change the payment schedule. Payments will still be issued four times per day, but you'll be paid at each payment round only if your unpaid balance is greater than 0.01 BTC. Last payment round of the day will be special and at this round you'll be paid if your unpaid balance is greater than 0.002 BTC.

@Nicehash staff, I think you are abusing of the stratum method "client.reconnect". Why are you sending this? Is it really needed? It adds trouble to the stratum/tcp connection and some extra delays.

Reconnects are needed, because the stratum protocol does not implement a way to change special extranonce parameters except for on first connection.  Switching between other pool's relays requires changing these parameters.  You can use the patches or patched compiled cgminer that nicehashdev has posted and are available on git.  This implements a new command in the stratum protocol so that the reconnects are not necessary.

True, you can simply download pacthed cgminer and sgminer binaries here: https://www.nicehash.com/software and you'll get rid of these issues and better performance on NiceHash (and the same performance on other pools as if you would be using other non-nicehash cgminer/sgminer builds).

BTW: Some pools ignores connection from our extended cgminer and sgminer. We added an option to disable these "advanced features" for pools not supporting this features. One of these pools is CoinFu.

Just add "no-extranonce-subscribe" : true to the pool config for pools, that doesn't support extranonce-subscribe

Example:

Code:

        {
                "name" : "NiceHash Scrypt",
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3333",
                "user" : "btc_address",
                "pass" : "x",
                "algorithm" : "scrypt",
                "nfactor" : "10"
        },
	{
                "name" : "CoinFu",
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://pool.coinfu.io:3333",
                "no-extranonce-subscribe" : true,
                "user" : "myrig_btc_address",
                "pass" : "myemail",
                "algorithm" : "scrypt",
                "nfactor" : "10"
	}

Keep in mind: this only applies it you're using our cgminer and sgminer builds from https://www.nicehash.com/software !

What's the command line for "no-extranonce-subscribe : true" ?
Is it "--no-extranonce-subscribe"   ?

I'm curious ... is anyone else out there trying to use the Ant Miner S1 and the "price" password option?

When I'm adding a "p=0.06" password ... it seems to choke the Ant Miner due to the way they rebuild the .conf file?

Curious what others are seeing?

Unfortunately, we discovered that all cgminers, including new ones have idlebug. I suggest ckolivas is informed about this bug so it gets fixed asap.

We could use the command "p=4.0" and try to make the prices go up.

Can you please explain in more detail about "idlebug" and what this means?

They mine ok if I just put them on your pool ... so it this something related to the use of the "price" option only?

There are multiple bugs in cgminer related to pool's being inactive or unavailable, but not marked as much.

The most severe example has been discussed a few times in this thread, and I provided an overview and 1-line hack to fix the issue (that any competent programmer should be able to turn into a comprehensive fix).
