Is there any Problem with the Multi-Algo NScrypt? When sgminer starts with NScrypt i see new Accepts, after 1-2 Minutes it quites SGMiner and close it. Dont get any HW-Errors or mass Rejects, everything looks good.

That is sgminer issue, please refer to sgminer thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=632503.0

I am still unable to connect to the auto switching X11/X13 pools. Connection dropped about 3 hours ago and has not come back. Restarting sgminer had no effect.

stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:4336
stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:4337

Any ideas?

[nicehashdev]

These ports are closed now, because nscrypt is more profitable. Check main page on NiceHash - algorithm marked with green is most profitable.

If you want to mine X11 or X13, use 3336 and 3337 ports.

Thanks. I understand now how it is working. One enhancement that would be good is if you could still do the multi-algo switching to the most profitable algorithm of just the algorithms you want to mine. A lot of people are like me where scrypt mining is just to hot this time of year.

You can setup only a subset of algorithms on 43xx ports if Scrypt and Scrypt-N are unacceptable due to power consumption and heat; however make sure you also setup your preferred nicehash backup pool.

Example:
- setup only a subset of auto-switch ports: X11:4336, X13:4337, Keccak:4338
- setup nicehash X11 backup pool: X11:3336
- this way you'll be mining the most profitable between X11, X13, Keccak
- because you skipped scrypt and scrypt-N which might be the most profitable in a particular time interval and auto-switch X11:4336, X13:4337, Keccak:4338 ports will be closed, you'll be still mining X11 on nicehash X11 backup pool: X11:3336 (Note: with this configuration it might happen that X13 might still be more profitable then X11, but you'll be mining on X11 backup pool because it might happen that profitability will be like this: Scrypt > X13 > X11 ... and since Scrypt is the most profitable, X13 and X11 auto-switch would be closed).

tnx! latest build fixed my HW errors with scrypt-n

The deposit address you posted is only for deposits. Accounting is handled by different database (bitcoinqt accounts). You should refer to your transaction history you can see on your wallet page.

It is completely normal that deposit addresses are used for sending out bitcoins. You can observe similar behavior with big exchanges (like bitstamp).

[DjTest]

That's happening to short BTC addresses? Are they no more accepted?

During the frontend maintenance, today at 10:30Z, the pool started to reply with "Invalid BTC address" and drops the connection.

these addresses are pretty valid and were payed several times in the past, they are only 33 chars long instead or the more common 34 chars length.

- because you skipped scrypt and scrypt-N which might be the most profitable in a particular time interval and auto-switch X11:4336, X13:4337, Keccak:4338 ports will be closed, you'll be still mining X11 on nicehash X11 backup pool: X11:3336 (Note: with this configuration it might happen that X13 might still be more profitable then X11, but you'll be mining on X11 backup pool because it might happen that profitability will be like this: Scrypt > X13 > X11 ... and since Scrypt is the most profitable, X13 and X11 auto-switch would be closed).

I think you can add another group of ports for only cold and energy efficient multialgo mining - like X11:5336, X13:5337, Keccak:5338 (may be also groestl) - I think this group of ports will be popular

i agree with you ,  currently i manually switch between those algos but if we could have ports specific to those it would be that much easier to manage.

Nicehash pays the mining order btc/Th/day or the average btc/Th/day?

Our sub contractor did mistake in address checking algorithm. We have reverted back until correct algorithm is provided. Sorry for it.

At any time you check, you are being paid what "Currently paying" says. But we also provide past 24h statistics. If your miner was mining for past 24h, then you should have been paid what past 24h stats say.

We will think about adding "Green multi-algorithm".

[oktay50000]

yes green algo would be great
scrypt  and acrypt n are very hot and power hungry
just x11/x13 group would be great

tnx

I like this, but I'm getting slow speeds on the mining server, even when there's an abundance of work available at my specified price. I think part of the problem is that stratum.nicehash.com is located in Slovenia. Perhaps the UK or NL would be better, or even USA, in a data center connected to a faster backbone. (ie Redstation)

That's really the only thing preventing me from sending more hashing power your way. Really nice job though overall, I like the concept. Regards.

[nicehashdev]

Are you using NiceHash software or you use software that does not support extranonce1 change on fly? If it is second, then you will have decreased performance due to many reconnects.

Our system does reward reconnects (like if you were sending a share that time), but these are little rewards (3 sec of your mining time).

I'm using default cgminer on AntMiner, which I believe is version 3.12. Should this support extranonce1?

[nicehashdev]

https://www.nicehash.com/software/

You should use latest cgminer in that case.

ive been trying to rent x13 hash for over an hour   and all my orders stay dead  ,  trying to hash at trademybit  and dedicated on both UK and US stratums  and none of my orders go live ...WTF?  I keep getting charged every time I have to cancel an order What kind of scam are you trying to run here?   Im out money because your system is screwed up?   I am not having any trouble connecting to those pools with my other rental rigs or my own rigs ....but im getting real sick of your less than stellar performance on orders lately and I should not be charged anything for canceling an order that never started   it is BS when its your faulty system Im pissed off  and not getting my moneys worth  .  This has got to change    and you owe me some money.    There is some scammy shit going on here.
