Is there reward/ bonus if miner solved a block?

No, there is no reward, because you are actually mining for someone else.

did pool just go down or is it just the front end?  I cant get to the website..

has been fine for me, next time, check http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ for site up/down info.

@kenshirothefist, a question on config... do you prefer if the option for "--no-submit-stale" is used or not. I am unsure whether to allow my miner to submit stale shares as i know the hash power could very well be going to a multipool which encourages use of submitting stale shares as they may still be accepted.

thanks in advance for your response!

[nicehashdev]

You should submit stale shares. If you are close enough, you will even get paid for them.

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?

as far as i know it COULD be done with .conf file so you can set kernels individually, but i thing this latest version does not support that yet.. If I'm wrong please correct me anyone..

[Ajeto]

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?

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

but isn't setting too low bad in the long run? it kinda makes more communication with server which adds up in time, so you actually end up mining less as you would with higher diff..?

Do you have an example of how to set the kernel per pool?  I know you can set the scrypt algo per pool as I have done simultaneous scrypt and scrypt-n configurations before, but they share the same kernel.  As far as I know the kernel parameter is a global setting.  I would really like to see a per pool kernel config because I'm looking to do what Humancell is wanting to configure as well.

Ahh sry I'm typing without thinking.. I meant algo, not kernel... But I'm interested in this as well

Hi.  I am trying you out for the first time.  Newbie here, so forgive me.   Using sgminer/scrypt and I can see my BTC address in the mining list.  How often/are there set times when you pay out?

Also - dumb question here, but for your username, are you supposed to use a BTC address you have with your own BTC wallet, or do you use the BTC "deposit address" generated in the wallet on nicehash.com?

[amacar]

Hi.  I am trying you out for the first time.  Newbie here, so forgive me.   Using sgminer/scrypt and I can see my BTC address in the mining list.  How often/are there set times when you pay out?

Payments are issued four times a day if your unpaid balance is greater than 0.01 BTC. Every fourth payment (once per day) is issued if balance is greater than 0.002 BTC. We will do payments for balances greater than 0.0001 BTC once every few days.

Thank You!   ANother dumb question.  When setting up your miner, for the user name, do you use a BTC address you already have in an outside wallet, or do you use the one generates for you on the nicehash.com wallet for "Deposit BTC address"??

You can use whatever address you want. I suggest you to use address in an outside wallet (to where you want to get paid) unless you are going to rent hash with mined BTC, than you can use generated address from nicehash.

Try use Nfactor "pool". My VertcoinCGminer (3.7.2) give 100% regect.

Read FAQ. Download https://nicehash.com/software/ CG and SGminer. They work on scrypt.
"to use  sgminer for Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor add those settings in the conf file: "algorithm" : "adaptive-n-factor","nfactor" : "11","kernel" : "zuikkis"".
I do it, but conf file don`t work. I always use .bat. How add it.
For example  sgminer --adaptive-n-factor -nfactor 11 -k zuikkis... not working. 

Give me working settings for .bat. Thx.

Use as below for scrypt-n:
sgminer.exe --algorithm adaptive-n-factor --kernel "yourchoice" -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3335 -u btc_address -p x

@NiceHashDev

I am using a self-made stratum proxy between Nicehash and the pools I am mining on to allow pool switching on the same order. I would like to known if Nicehash is compatible with the mining.extranonce.subscribe and mining.set_extranonce on the pool side. This would allow me to switch pools without disconnection.

It should be more fluid for me since a reconnection of nicehash takes several minutes and less intensive for nicehash since between reconnections, my order is considered as Dead and all miners are switched to another order.

  Pool A <---+                                  +-+ MyRig1                                         
 (Active)      |                                 |

                  |                                 |                                                 
  Pool B <---+ My Custom proxy  <----+ MyRig2

                 |                                  |                                                 
  Pool C <---+                                  +-------------+ NiceHash  <---------------- Workers
(FailOver)                                       Is SetExtranonce                 SetExtranonce         
                                                      supported ?                      supported                                                                                                                   




Thank you.

We haven't implemented extranonce notifications support, due to two reasons:
- there are no other pools that support it
- most of miners still use regular miners, connection to these would still have to be dropped; doing this several times per minute could really cause them to have very tiny hashrate at the end

Bottom line; we will most likely add support, but not so fast yet - we need to get more miners to use this new feature first.

Ok. I will wait...thank you

First time today I tried to mine X11, downloaded sph-sgminer-4.1.0-nicehash-2-win32,
made a .batch file for one of mine R9 280x:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer.exe -k darkcoin -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3336 -u 1FJRJaE2JNjAaiiLravqTtZpTrxrBPUm3z -p x --intensity 13 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192 --vectors 2 --gpu-threads 2
and have diff 0.000 or -0.000 which is a bit unusual.
Can anybody advise did i miss something?
