I can't connect to nicehash pools with my IP.
Nicehash block my IP???
Please check PM !

Multi-algo isn't working for me at all. sgminer is ignoring all the "pool-xxx" settings. I've been able to verify this on all the supported algos and ran them each individually.
Setting "intensity" or "xintensity" works if I set it explicit for the entire config file. Setting "algorithm" works if I run a separate config for each algo. Clearly, in order for the multi to work need to get the pool settings working. It ignores ALL "pool-" settings I've tried ("pool-algorithm", "pool-intensity", "pool-xintensity", "pool-nfactor". Here is a copy of my config:

How can I pay also thru bitcoin? but I dont have any bitcoin yet just wanna start mining.

I will be very thankful someone who will guide me in mining bitcoin in nicehash.

Newbie

Thank You!

I ran into the same problem you mention and what I did was build a single algo config with only the name, url, user, pass, and pool-algorithm. I put everything else in the collective general section at the end. I confirmed that worked and then I slowly removed the the pool- configurable items from the general section and put them in the pool section one by one and tested each time that they worked. I noticed that no matter which pool-algorithm I used, the initial bin file always was built using the ckolivas kernel, then when that completed, the proper kernel bin would build. I found that really strange, but a consistent pattern with all algos. Sometimes I had to launch the config more than once to get the kernel to build properly. Also, I found the pool-algorithm is mandatory in the pool config. If it is not there, the bin will not build and an error is listed after the compile.

Once I had a fully tuned config for one algorithm with all of the pool- settings working, I saved it to a separate text file, then I constructed the next algorithm config. Once I had all of the individual configs working and tuned on the 3XXX ports, I copied all of the separate algo configs into a single large config file and changed all of the ports to 4XXX. Everything is running as expected with automatic multi-switching. I do have a large number of job not found errors with the Keccak algo, but I think it's a stratum problem and not the config.

[hodgeac]

Thanks for the response brucen. I was really hoping that I missed something obvious. Unfortunately what you describe is how I figured out that it wasn't loading the pool- settings. It seems to me that this whole multi algo thing might be a little shy of stable. Can you post a config of your that works? Happen to have any 270x miners?

Also, as an aside, I'm wondering if this multi-algo mining will open up to nvidia anytime soon. I have 10 750ti cards itching for a go. For now they mine scrypt with a custom build of sgminer that has the cuda kernel from cudaminer. It's a fork of sgminer called darkminer. Terrible name choice but it lets me use all my cgminer monitors to watch and control them. Anyway, I'm hoping nicehash might put together a build of sgminer with the cuda kernel and multi-algo...

[ingvarfervent]

Hi. If use multi-algo, but set in conf. only X11 and X13 algo. Did miner work fine when ( for example ) scrypt more profitable, or miner try use scrypt and go idle ?

Hi. If use multi-algo, but set in conf. only X11 and X13 algo. Did miner work fine when ( for example ) scrypt more profitable, or miner try use scrypt and go idle ?

Set a 3rd backup pool.  When x11 and x13 go idle, you want to be mining somewhere. If you want to default back to Nicehash set your last resort pool to Nicehash non-switching ports 333x.

[dhsc19]

When mining keccak, I'm getting a lot of stale shares and job not found.  Roughly 20% reject rate for keccak.  Still submits accepted shares, but tons of stale and not found.  The rest (scrypt, scrypt-n, x11, and x13) are working great.  No problems with Nicehash algo-switching for the last 24 hours using it.  Running on Ubuntu 12.04, compiled myself from source.  I'm using an ASUS 280x.

Average hashrates:
scrypt - 771kh/s
scrypt-n - 355kh/s
x11 - 2.650Mh/s
x13 - 2.750Mh/s
keccak - 355Mh/s w/ ~20% reject rate

Do you really have X13 more than X11?

x11 - 2.650Mh/s
x13 - 2.750Mh/s

Is everything correct here?

"pool-thread-concurrency" : "262144"

I got "--intensity 15 --thread-concurrency 8192 --lookup-gap 2 --worksize 256 -g 2"
and if to overclock core to 1150 like you did it's just 2.2 Mh mining X13.

EDIT: And one more difference, I'm using x13mod instead of marucoin-mod, is yours  better?

and if to overclock core to 1150 like you did it's just 2.2 Mh mining X13.

EDIT: And one more difference, I'm using x13mod instead of marucoin-mod, is yours  better?

I'm just using the default kernels created created when I compiled.  I don't know about importing kernels from third party compiles.  I doubt it is optimized properly.

The hash rate I get for x13 fluctuates between 2.650-2.750mh/s roughly.  It seems to have stabilized closer to 2.655Mh/s...so roughly the same as x11.

My thread concurrency was based off of:

Intensity: How hard the miner is working. Each increase by one is DOUBLE the previous number of threads:
I:13 = 8192 threads
I:14 = 16384 threads
I:15 = 32768 threads
I:16 = 65536 threads
I:17 = 131072 threads
I:18 = 262144 threads
I:19 = 524288 threads
I:20 = 1048576 threads

originally from this thread: www dot overclock dot net/t/1461916/tutorial-ultimate-guide-to-tweaking-amd-cgminer-3-7-2-kalroth-edition-sgminer-instructions-included-aswell-get-the-most-hash-out-of-your-gpu

Honestly, it doesn't seem to make a difference if I use 8192, 8193, or 262144...I just set it according to that chart.

Like coinshift, they have a Unexchanged BTC.

I don't see anything like this for nicehash. Does nicehash have this also, if so where may I find these stats.

https://nicehash.com/?p=miners&a=0&addr=12NcNYb2oEh6ANo95AakEjPqQdgbcxh4m9

If nicehash don't, that's awesome!

There is no unexchanged, you get paid in BTC only.

Hello
Just wondering if any1 else is facing the same error.

Can not create order. Please try after few minutes.


Any help will b appreciated.

@nicehashdev,

First I want to say that I'm very satisfied with your service, and congratulate you for making pioneer steps for miners like me. I use your service to sell my hashpower. I want to use the multialgo for x11 and x13 only, because of power supply restrictions, and my rig is 4x 280x. I downloaded your sgminer 5.0. These are my questions:

- if any other algo is more profitable, will the miner switch to my backup, or stay idle? and will it switch back to nicehash when x11 or x13 are most profitable? my backup pool would be x11 or x13
- can this be set up using a .bat file only, and how?
- if not, can you post a conf file for 280x? I've never used xintensity before, and the rig is mining fine (3Mhs x11, 2,4Mhs x13 per card) with standard settings
- how do I use the conf file, what should the command line in the .bat be?

Thanks and keep up the great work.

I can answer you only the first question, because I am not involved in development of mining software - you should address other questions to sgminer developers or search for answer in their topics.

Multialgo switching works by opening/closing ports thus making pools alive/dead. If you use backup pool and it is alive while remaining being dead, then the backup pool will be used.

[chesthing]

I'm trying to figure this out, want to buy x13 hashing power. Do I just go with the highest g/h being currently paid to get mining right away? how can I tell if any mining power is currently available?

[nicehashdev]

Check orders. If you want hashing power right away, then you have to set highest price (to outbid the rest). If you don't need it asap, you can set lower price and wait. It is all about analyzing orders, which you have on first page. Miners will always mine on best paying orders.

[odie158]

Ok what gives the FAQ lists the fee as 2% but my order that was .01btc had a fee of .00069btc or 6.9%?

[nicehashdev]

When you make order:

Non-refundable 0.0005 BTC is taken to prevent order spam.
Refundable 2% is taken for the service.

and

0.0004 BTC is returned in case there was no work performed - accepted or rejected shares (dead pool, no miners, etc).

[TheMoen]

Why is this service down so much? is the site attacked with ddos attacks?
