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

[unlock.mk]

as far as i can say they do not payout in regullary basis.

[v0n]

Was happily using the pool for months but in the last few weeks I have daily to twice daily occurrence of "job not found" glitches where whatever coin or contract being served by the pool is pointed at something stupid that serves only stales and produces rejections for hours no end.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Once you reach .01 BTC you'll be on the coming pay cycle. (happens approx once every six hours). I've been paid like clockwork 4 times per day regardless of which of the 2 sites I'm on. anything as small as 0.001 is paid on sundays.

I won't be renting from them anymore. My last order after disconnecting several times never showed up poolside. And I was using multipool so not a pool issue

so nicehashdev, when exactly are miners getting paid the same for both sites?

Good question. I think a ton of us are wondering.

ya next week kinda vague...and well its next week hehe

We need to do some further testing, because this is crucial part of the system. I bet you don't want to end up with being paid less than what you should be

True...but its already gone down hill so I probably wouldn't notice...I must be bad luck or something...every time I switch pools the payouts drop...guess I'm just late to the party

Has anyone see a problem with Antminer S3's on Nicehas when you set a price and the contracts fall below that price (say 0.028)?

My understanding is the Nicehash stratum should go dead when there is no contract to fulfill so the S3 can failover to the secondary pool, but it doesn't, it stays alive and just stops accepting shares meaning the miner sits there idle and never fails over to the secondary pool.

Yes with both my S3s and S1s,,,,and same thing on WestHash too.

My solution:

1. Given the decent prices on Nicehash right now, i just took out my price and let my miners run on NiceHash for now.

2. I monitor it closely and will move another pool into my priority position when Nicehash's average payout in BTC/THS/Day falls below what I know I can get on BTCGUIld or Eligius.

This is a well known idlebug, which we fixed in sgminer, but ASIC makers are not interested to include our fixes in their mining software.

You can try this to fix your issue: https://www.nicehash.com/docs/connect-via-proxy/

United prices across NH and WH are coming tomorrow.

Thx..that's great news. By not crossing the "big pond" with my signal, I get slightly better hash rates on WestHash... but NiceHash is always good too.

Will try the proxy ... with my zeusminers too.

i would like to rent on nicehash.. but seems impossible for two hours now..

I concur, my four daily payments that are always over .001 happen like clockwork.

I rent 10+ GPU boxes for X11/X13/X15/NIST5 algos. But over two days, many boxes were sitting idle, reporting there is no more work available at pool. After I reset sgminer v5, the box happily crunches X11 hashes again.

It seems some sort of DDOS protection blocks the connection.

So what's up?

SGminers version:
sgminer 4.2.2-283-g3ddff

REMARK: I assume I should be having v5 written somewhere. But there is no v5 written... Am I using the right version of sgminer?

[seandaniel]

can you make a video tutorial for newbie on how to buy hashes? or how it works?
becaus elike me im verymuch interested to buy but because of language barrier i am afraid to make a mistake in buying hash.

Thank You

Price for hashing power is now unified across NiceHash and WestHash. You will be paid same now, regardless if you mine on NiceHash or WestHash.

Buyers: nothing has changed for you. You may want to scout out for prices now even more, because there will be more hashing power available on WestHash and you may get some great deals of super low priced hashing power on WestHash (check Low Renting Price column).

sgminer v5 is still tagged as 4.2 - this will change when sgminer-dev team will officially releases v5 version. Try official sgminer builds, you can find them here: https://nicehash.com/software

We are looking for someone to make YOUTUBE guide on how to use NiceHash.com as buyer.

What you should have:
- this is an advertising tutorial/howto, therefore you have to be able to express the easiness of use and excellence of the service during the video;
- excellent English speaking abilities (native or near-native English speaking);
- experiences with mining (knowing how to use pools);
- optional: experiences with trading (did some coin trades and earned some BTC);
- familiar with our service, preferably has used it before as a hashing power buyer.

how can a 10 MH/s Scrypt rig produces 864 GH in one day.  it produces 10mh a day ty

Same way a train going at 50 miles per hour would do 1200 miles per day.

There are 86400 seconds in a day, if that helps.

ok again thanks i forgot the h/s " seconds "

now can you please explain please how i can rent lets say  800mh/s for say  3hrs
its very confusing and they dont say how much it cost per  i would greatly appreciate it  

Like this:



It's very simple math. Select your desired speed and price, then change your budget until you get the desired time (if you don't want to use all your budget).

to nicehash
how about i want 2gig hash speed for what ever time .02 btc will buy like buying from miners  i did that and only got 130 mh speed
should be how much hash speed do i want ..2gig...how much you have to pay...02btc...ok that will get you 2.4hrs  period im otta here

I've done that. I cloned the git repo:

https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/tree/v5_0

I compiled it by myself. So I don't think it's the software. So - why my miners are sitting idle? Should I provide to you the btc address they're hashing for or my IP?

Or a screenshot or some kind of log?

So you want lower prices? That's good for buyers but sucks for miners...might give the new payout one more day but if it doesn't pickup I'll go elsewhere
