BitDefender is reporting Sgminer.exe v5 that is being shared by nicehash as a Trojan. Some other anti-virus software are not detecting it yet.

https://www.westhash.com/software/sgminer-5.0-final-win32.zip

At first I thought it was faults positive, but after further research it defiantly has got a problem. It explains the strange mining results, missing hash and router log activity when using it.

Can someone please verify.

Isn't being reported as Trojan.

Hi,

We are not building our own binaries anymore, this is why https://www.westhash.com/software/sgminer-5.0-final-win32.zip binary was taken from http://cryptomining-blog.com/3590-updated-windows-binary-for-the-new-sgminer-5-0/ which is a very reliable source. However, it is quite possible that there are some issues with this binary since we haven't tested it extensively. We removed this link from the download page for now, please leave a comment on the cryptomining-blog.com to let them know that this binary has issues. We recommend you to use sgminer-5.0-badman74-mod-win32.zip which is verified and even has better performance.

After beating my head against the wall for several days, I'm hoping I have missed something ez here.  Trying to run the strat-proxy server as setup lists on it nice/westhash's site.  I have no problems at all getting to NiceHash and getting shares, my asics are getting about 15 mh very low errors, however I can't get any connection to Westhash at all, the config file is copied straight from the west hash site. All get is the errors below, over and over.

Is it possible they have my IP banned or something? I can get to their website with no issues. So I tried pointing my GPUs at the x11 for NiceHash and WestHash, NiceHash works fine, however WestHash is showing up dead.

Hello,

I have point my two Antminer S2 to nicehash but as I see it get 20-30% rejected

17************     450.97     214.75 (32.26%)
18************     645.05     175.92 (21.43%)

Miner has latest firmware and diff is regulated by miner itself.

I have try whit  --queue 0 --scan-time 1 --expiry 1 but still have same results.

Can rejected rate be reduced somehow?

Thank you

Unfortunately AntMiner S2 is know to have issues with our stratum servers due to a specific version of cgminer used in it which has a bug regarding handling of extranonce2 (as used in our stratum servers). You can try to use stratum-proxy and see if you get better results. btw: other Antminers (S1, S3, S4, etc.) are known to work good

My order finally gets going and then it just stops, no reason.

I'll try and increase my accepted GH up to kickstart it off again, shouldn't have to monitor and manually control it   .

I have try with proxy as described on your site with no luck, this is an error that I see in terminal where proxy run:

Code:

2014-10-24 10:28:00,669 INFO     [Grizzly-worker(1)]:strat.mining.stratum.proxy.worker.GetworkWorkerConnection - REJECTED share (diff: 512.0) from x@Getwork-/192.168.0.209 on Nicehash SHA256. Booo !!!!. Error: JsonRpcError [code=23, message=Share above target., traceback=null]

I also try with bfgminer proxy but also it get some errors and hr is about 500gh/s for two S2 which should be 2th/s.

So conclusion is that there is no way to mine with an S2 on nicehash without large number of rejected shares?

look at nist5, the 0.08 order cant even beat the 0.07 order. wonder how nicehash decide who can get the gh, and who should stay dead.

also set DIff to d=2048 i read some one place that might help for the  S2 and S4  .I wish bit main would either put both BFGminer and CGminer in the Ants or give Luke the info he keeps asking them for and  let those who want to use it in the ants use it. 

the new Firmware works great but to use it right now with  the S3 i had to  use the boot strap skin sense the open writ skin wont let you access the Miner conf page.  sense i switched over to http://stratum.westhash.com:3334/#xnsub  with Cgminer 4.6.1 a few days ago my payout got better and rejects got less and less hard ware errors.

Haha, just found out that the NiceHash widget notifications will popup on Android Wear as well...Hmm, a custom watchface with a hashrate monitor could be doable. Too bad I still can't connect to Nicehash

have you tried downloading the newest firmware upgrade from bitmain ?  if not, try it, it may help.

set diff to 2048  if you want that Post from bitmain why it might be it I will find it for you, i saw it again today the on  mining.bitcoin.cz forums even with the new Firm ware the guy  said he had to set it . unless  you did it all ready  d=2048


he said S4 but i did read some place else were bitmain said for s2 as well .sadly i don't want a s2 or S4 if i did id Polly have one . i d fix it right way by playing with it to till  i did.
I want maybe  a c1 and L1  which I'm working  for now , i don't see much else coming but maybe  the ASICMiner Block Erupter Tube i may build one for fun . or buy more S3 they seem to be the best thing atm .
 its more of a hobby for me by that i mean i  watch the smart meter stuff on BG and G site , usually shut down all but one miner a few days out of the week , then once I'm OK with the power I use at that point i mine for 2 or 3 days then shut all but one down and that works well for me i control my power cost better that way  and actually get a lot of coins that way.

Dear Bitmain Antminer S4 owners, we have had reports about incorrect hashrate being displayed in your profile. After investigating this issue, it turned out that the S4 firmware ignores difficulty lower than 2048. You can now set the minimum difficulty in the worker registration table. This ensures that our stratum servers will NOT attempt to give your workers lower difficulty than this threshold.

Hi- I made a purchase (x13) on nicehash and it showed the wallet subtraction but I have no new orders or a refund...I have all the transaction info though!

Thanks!

We had a short issue with our EU servers and some orders weren't processed. We have issued refunds for all incomplete orders. As usual, ask for support regarding issues with orders on info@nicehash.com rather on these forums. Thank you for using our service!

Any idea what went wrong between 00:00 and 00:30 UTC? The miners weren't even switching to the backup pools.

Is there any chance to get the Titan (firmware 1.05) working at Nicehash without tons of rejects?
