GAW.   Not sure exaclty what SW they use(That is why I have them hosted   )

But I do know GAW announced last week they now support NiceHash..

True, GAW hosted miners should work flawlessly with NiceHash. One thing is for sure d=2048 is too high for GridSeeds, especially for the small 1st gen GridSeeds ... try to use d=512. Also, can you please ask GAW where exactly are those miners hosted (which part of the world, eu, usa, china?). Please, report this also to GAW, maybe they have to check if your miner really has the latest software installed.

Well.. So far changing it to d=512 seems to have no effect..  I am still missing or not seeing about 15% to 30% of my hash rate..   Just last week I was running on NiceHash and it worked great and reported all my Hash rate correct probably 95% of the time I checked it.. So have no clue what changed from last week to now.   I will watch my payouts for the next day or so to see if maybe it’s just the reported  hash rate I am seeing on NiceHash is not correct or something..   Not blaming NiceHash.. Just have no clue where the issue would be and why it would have worked fine last week but not now..
It might be on my hosted side but when I was running against another pool just a day and a half ago it was working fine in that pool..  Oh the joys of having your miners hosted.. Makes it harder to figure out where the issue is when something is going wrong...    But I like the free hosting so will deal with it.. 


If I discover anything I will report back here but probably will have to switch pools in a day or so if I don’t figure it out and my payounts match what is being reported..


   Thanks!

Is there a good place to get support on script-n? I get nothing but hardware errors when it runs. Cards run fine on conventional scrypt...

Probably not a good place

Have you adjusted your config for Scrypt-N? Typically it needs different thread-concurrency settings. Google up some config samples for your card model.

Why is in line8 of your new sgminer showing diff 0.000 and switching to diff -0.000 and back?

https://hostr.co/nYof167MwlKj

+1 Seeing this as well.

X11 or Scrypt? Do you set diff param in password?

X11.  It doesn't matter if you set diff or not, it's the same result.

X11.  It doesn't matter if you set diff or not, it's the same result.

Even more, every diff value (except network) I have is (-)0.000...
Diff "d=0.01" is set in password.

Wrong, no profitable=no statistic. It's gone two days ago. From top of any nicehash page...

I have verified with kano that I am running cgminer v4.3.2a  commit 85fcf0c ... what version is ckolivas saying this is fixed in?

I want to get my Ant farm over on NiceHash ... but with this bug it keeps leaving my Ants not mining anything!  :-(

This is the commit:

https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/commit/3b387ca67f226edccb3cf13cc827d7b57b2282aa

https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/pull/581

Not sure which build version includes this commit, please ask ckolivas or kano.

Kano replied and linked to those exact fixes being in his cgminer ... he's maintaining it exactly.

https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/ants1-4.3.2a-85fcf0c/util.c#L2048

There must be some other bug.  :-(

My two test AntMiners ran fine on the pool ... switched to the backups when the thresholds were too high ... but then at some point the NiceHash pool went Active again, but nothing was mining.

Crap!

So what are people using to mine here with their Gridseed GC3355-Q64 55nm ASICs

Last night I started running a side-by-side comparison of Hashra Mini Controlla vs Minera

Results so far:
Hashra--RPI with qty ten 5-chip Gridseeds, no d= or p= settings
https://nicehash.com/?p=miners&a=0&addr=192wH2yhWVyjiUkzf2qppnATSvmQkuMsxA

Minera--RPI with qty ten 5-chip Gridseeds, no d= or p= settings
https://nicehash.com/?p=miners&a=0&addr=1AmREReHNLec9EaW7gLRdW31LNSDA9SGR1

I have been using Hashra for quite a while with good success.

What is the calculation for diff when mining X11?

For example. .. if I've got 10MH/sec of X11 hashing ... what would be the recommended?

d=??? in the password?

[Bawb3]

So I have my price threshold @ 1.2 for X11... and my rigs wont switch over from my failover pool.
There have been orders higher than that all day...

Did something change? This was working fine a day ago.

0.05 will give you a few shares per minute. If you want a smoother hashrate chart set it lower, 0.02 perhaps.

I got 1 gridseed and it does not work with cgminer moded (3.7.2), tried bfgminer and it does not detect gridseed, how can a gridseed work with nicehash?

On this computer i also got 2x r9 280x mining with sgminer already.

[Humancell]

Is there a way with sph-sgminer to set "per pool" parameters?

I want to make my primary pool NiceHash X11 - using the darkcoin kernel - and then have my backup pool be NiceHash scrypt -using the zuikkis kernel ...

I'm trying to find a way to allow the pools to each be defined with their own set of unique parameters to allow this.

Ideas?

Try this cpuminer by sandor111, https://github.com/siklon/cpuminer-gc3355/, Windows binaries at the bottom of page.

Here are the results from my head-to-head comparison against Hashra.  I have two identical RPI setups with qty ten 5-chip miners each.  Since there is no way to distinguish between rigs on Nicehash's website, I used my BTC address for Hashra Controla and Michelem's donation BTC address for the Minera controller. 

Hashra's Dashboard and Nicehash stats
 

Minera's Dashboard, Settings, and Nicehash stats
   

Looking through the log, it looks like it took about 6 hours for the autotune process to finish.  Minera had FAR fewer rejects and HW.  It's hard to tell from a short run like this which is the ultimate winner, but I think that Minera has a solid edge over Hashra.

Nicehashdev, you obviously have some errors in your sph-sgminer. It shows 0.000/-0.000 difficulty on all my X11 rigs, with any difficulty setting (manual and auto), and even on other pools! But if I switch to standard sph-sgminer 4.1.0, it works ok.

Indeed there is a bug for displaying diff. We'll take a look and released a patched version soon.

To all that have 0 diff bug: do you get expected speed on NiceHash?

Speed is ok, only display bug.
