[ANN] NiceHash.com - sell & buy hash rate cloud mining service / multipool

[Hyacin75]

Is nicehash compatible with Antminer S1 ?  Do we need to modify cgminer or upgrade the firmware ?

You're not algo switching with an SHA-256 ASIC, so yes, it's compatible with any SHA-256 ASIC based hardware, just point the miner at port 3334 and away you go, just like any other pool.

Since yesterday my SHA hashrate has been way down.  I thought it was my rig (S2) and started tweaking things, but when nothing fixed it I reverted to what I had and tried another pool (multipool.us) ... with the exact same settings I get ~1116 Gh/s on multipool, and about 976 Gh/s on Nicehash ... prior to yesterday I'd get ~1.1 Th/s on Nicehash with those settings ... not sure what's up ... anyone else experiencing anything similar?  Is it related to the DDOS?

I have been getting less . Every where else (ghash,btc guild , butminter. ) I get 980-1100
But on nicehash I get 400

Is there a way to update the on build in miner ? Or dowse need to run it through a PC with nicehash miner running it ?

Also my reject rate is close to 20%

Diff d=1024 . D=512 didn't make a difference

This is because of the way Nicepool handles rejects.  Lots of people are mining BTCD, and BTCD was running at about 15-20seconds per block yesterday.

Nicehash penalise miners by not paying for rejected shares just after a new block, even though it's not the miners fault (and the renter gets credit for these shares, btw).

So yeah. It's a bad deal all round.  I doubt I'll be leasing my rigs through here again.

Nicehash-

Any chance of arranging the workers by name on the Miner status page? I have quite a few rigs, and there appears to be a random order in which they are listed. Normally I am able to sort, or it is sorted automatically for me at other pools.  I know it's just a visual change, but it helps me more quickly spot issues that way.

That would indeed be very practical. Also the idea with the unpaid balance info is really needed. Thanks!

How exactly does the order system work? For instance, if I configure my miner with p=0.70 but there are orders with 0.8x, will I always mine the highest order automatically?

Not true.
1. Each provided job is valid for at least 1.5 seconds
2. Each job has 0.8 seconds stale window
3. We reward miners with fake accepted shares if jobs are being switched fast
4. If share is rejected by NiceHash, it is not sent to the pool

No, all miners are paid average price, which can be seen on front page under "Currently paying".

Unpaid balance is already done.

How do you want sorting to be done? By speed?

With a little bit of Angular.js code you could make all the columns in the table sortable.

As people are dumping feature requests on you, one thing I would still like to see is a summary tab which shows balances and hashing speed for each algo in one table.  Second table could have a list of all workers.  There have been many days where I've mined on four different algorithms so seeing a summary would be helpful.  Currently, I rely on NHC to show me those summaries (minus the workers) but that only works when I'm in front of the computer running it.

Does someone know what "extranonce change requested" means. I'm mining X13 at port 3337.

Thank you

nicehash easy as 1,2,3

I am not a techie guy, thats why i use this site for mining. it's automatically converted to BTC. i saved transaction fees or exchangers

[Txslady]

Can anyone help.  I put in an order to mine scrypt on a pool but it says the pool has rejected the connection.  Is there a list somewhere that says which pools are compatible with this service?  I am trying to mine LTC on F2Pool.

Sort by worker name, at least for my purposes, but having the ability to sort by any of the columns would be useful.

Make sure it is a stratum pool and not getwork. Many p2p pools are actually getwork.

Will add on todo list to be able to sort by any column with click on it.

Hello

I am trying to change the price of an order from 0.28 to 0.29 and I get the answer: Only price increase is permitted

is 0.29 not a higher number than 0.28?

Obviously it is already 0.29 then, wait for orders to refresh (30 seconds) and press F5 button.

still showing 0.28

How long should I wait?

(I know the delay you speak about, it's not that)

Write to support: info@nicehash.com with details what order is it about.

[newuser01]

I cba to E-mail since I don't really care anymore

order was #39591

[nicehashdev]

There was a rounding error, please report if it happens again.

[rammy2k2]

ok, i tested NH too, but there is no way near as they say, to pay better than any other multipool , moved on

[EBK1000]

I have tried to use Nicehash but I just dont get it, it appears very complicated, forgive me but can someone please explain it in simple terms. I have 0.5 BTC and I want to mine a specific scrypt coin most effectivly
