We have applied filters that are filtering out many nasty things. And we are still under various forms of attacks, but keeping them back off. However, the system should be working fairly well now. I just hope your IP didn't send too much rejected shares, because then it will get banned

We will try what is going on with nscrypt, but since there are miners working on it and hashrate is not decreasing, it should be issue on your side or your IP being temporary banned. Can you try with another IP?

You have to come up with something that doesn't ban existing users. I've been mining with the same few usernames since forever. My IP hasn't changed. How could I possibly be banned? And yes, I've had ridiculous amounts of rejects THAT ARE NOT MINE, I've even posted a screenshot earlier in this thread. Maybe some smartass was using my username for DDOS but definitely not my IP. Whatever criteria you're using for the ban you need to loosen it up or remove altogether for existing users. I can't see what you could possibly gain by banning users who've been mining for months.

The ban is always related to IP only. The rejects thing is cgminer/sgminer going crazy sending many duplicated shares. This is a known bug in cgminer, and probably not fixed in sgminer. I doubt it is related to your issue, because you are saying that you have been banned now and now when these rejects happened. The ban list is periodically cleared, so just wait some time and you will be good to go again.

12/15 of my rigs couldn't connect to nicehash ... any port

according to the graph my rigs didn't generate too much invalid shares and 3 of my rigs still able to connect, guess it's not a ban, it's something else

Update : now all of my rigs couldn't connect, gonna use proxifier to change my ip then

why do my rigs can't connect to x11 and x13 servers ? i tried all port : 4337,3337,4336,3336

Look, I don't care either way. I'm just saying you're losing revenue with a blanket ban like that. Or maybe you're thinking there is enough providers as it is. Whatever. None of what you said justifies banning legitimate users though. Especially if there is a known cgminer bug then a streak of rejects should not result in a ban of an IP that has been making you money for months. Not to mention my banned rigs are running cudaminer/ccminer so none of that is relevant anyway. Me pissed? Noooo 

[StuffOfInterest]

Being that I mine on NiceHash with nVIDIA cards I can't use the auto-switching feature because the best nVIDIA mining tools (ccminer and cudaminer) don't support it.  To that end, I've come up with a Windows Program, Nice Hash Control which can start and stop mining apps based on which one is currently most profitable.  Hope this helps, and please send a few mBTC my way if you find it useful.

[brucen]

Nice work!  I don't use nVidia miners, but it's creative work like yours that keeps the interest in mining fresh.

Thanks for helping the community!

You can also set algorithm per pool

Code:

{
"pools" : [
...	{
		"url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3336",
		"user" : "btc-add",
		"pass" : "p=0.8",
                "pool-algorithm" : "darkcoin-mod"
	},
...
}

I'm having a big problem with multi-algo. If I only use pool-algorithm (using only x11 and x13) sgminer starts with "Initialising kernel ckolivas.cl with bitalign
..." although ckolivas is not specified anywhere in the config. Therefore i get only rejects and HWs.

This is my config that will NOT work

Code:

"pools" : [
        {
                "name" : "NiceHash_X13",
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:4337",
                "user" : "****",
                "pass" : "f0=0;f2=0;f3=10;f4=7.75;f5=0;c0=0;c2=0;c3=1.7;c4=1.7;c5=0",
		"pool-algorithm" : "marucoin-mod",
                "pool-nfactor" : "10"
	},
        {
                "name" : "NiceHash_X11",
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:4336",
                "user" : "*****",

		"pool-algorithm" : "darkcoin-mod",
		"pool-nfactor" : "10"
        },
        {
                "name" : "Waffle_X11",
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://eu.wafflepool.com:3331",
                "user" : "*****",
                "pass" : "x",
                "pool-nfactor" : "10",

	 }

I'm running this with Cgwatcher, which can be tricky sometimes. Do you have any ideas what could be wrong? Running fine with "non-pool" algorithm though, but in taht case I cannot use multi-algo.

P.S. Password does not matter which I use, same result

[MysteryX]

All of the stratums are down for me on x11/x13 too.

[ScryptAsic]

Anybody have a way to show each rig instead of a summary of total rig?

[brucen]

@Ajeto

Sgminer mutli-algo has to start with a base kernel before it can change to the current multi pool kernel. There is no way to change that because that is how it is designed. You can check it out by writing the config file from the miner when it is running and you will see the pool-kernel in the algorithm section, but there is also a "kernel" : "ckolivas.cl" in the general config section at the bottom. Without the kernal specification on the general config section, it will still revert to the default kernel config when it first compiles the bin file.

What I do is let the miner compile the bin file with the ckolivas kernel, then wait for a minute or so until the multi-algo section compiles. On my system it takes up to 3 minutes before the final bin file is compiled and the miner starts working.

@brucen

Thank you for your answer. However this doesn't seem to solve my problem. The thing is multi-algo works fine if I run it from cmd. But when i use the same config and run it from Cgwatcher it keeps using ckolivas (which i don't have in my config at all) which ends up in crashing the drivers and just not working etc... I'm pretty sure the problem here is cgwatcher, but i cant monitor multiple rigs without it

I have been providing SHA256 hashing power for some time on the site, but for the last 24 hours my SHA256 miners haven't been receiving any work. I don't have the minimum price set, so i thought it was related to the DDOS attack, but that has passed already. All my SHA256 mining software connect to the site, just no work is being given. So is anyone having these issues??? I also provide x11 hashing power, but that is working just fine. I am located in Japan. Thank you!

[luckydag]

 my worker 14 hours no payouts, why? work on X13

[MysteryX]

I still can't connect to anything.. no x11, no x13, and no 4xxx ports.... dev got any updates or answers?

[fabula]

Hi nicehash.
Great service!
Wanna know,just put 10.2MH on nicehash, but the Round accepted speed MH/s nver reach the entire hashrate of my rig.
He is stable at 5-7 sometimes 8mh,but rig work stable at 10.2MHS.
Is that normal?

[nicehashdev]

Are you using sgminer recommended by NiceHash or something else to mine?

[fabula]

bfminer from hashra. If you want i can give you my btc add so you could check on nicehash stat.

I can not connect my second rig to the 4336/4337 port, while the first one works fine! I have setup the password as follows: f0=0;f2=0;f3=4;f4=3.1;f5=0 So it should switch between x11/x13. Again, it works fine on the first rig while the second rig (same btc adress, same password) can not connect to either 4336/4337 servers. Btw the second rig works fine when set to 3336/3337, but I would like for it to benefit from the switch function of the 4xxx ports too.
