Are the miner/seller ports down (3334/sha)..?

Up for me, too.

OKay now.
I was going through a VPN (that is working for all other traffic), and now going direct and both west & nice working.
Thx.

All pools have been down for me the last couple of days. Currently running on my backup pool, but would really like to get back on Nicehash.

Wolf0's optimized NeoScrypt OpenCL kernel (double hash rate): https://www.nicehash.com/software/neoscrypt.cl.zip

Instructions: download, unzip, copy to your sgminer folder (overwrite existing neoscrypt.cl), delete neoscrypt*.bin files in your sgminer run directory and restart sgminer. Say thanks to Wolf0

Me too.....can't connect to any 43xx pools....

Edit:

Have managed occasionally to connect to X13 and X11, but neoscrypt is not working for me......even when it is hashing, nothing registers on nicehash for neo.

Are you able to connect directly to 33xx pools? If yes, then make sure you have NeoScrypt support: either update to Sgminer 5.0 develop (https://www.nicehash.com/software/#sgminer) or disable NeoScrypt factor until you update to this miner. You can disable NeoScrypt multi-algo algorithm by setting f8=0 .... for example f0=1;f2=0.5;f3=4;f4=3;f5=500;f6=3.5;f7=16;f8=0 on all your NiceHash algorithms/pool profiles ... more info on https://www.nicehash.com/multialgo/#finetuning (of course, since NeoScrypt is quite profitable, we suggest you to upgrade to latest Sgminer 5.0 develop as soon as possible).

For NeoScrypt try latest sgminer https://www.nicehash.com/software/#sgminer with intensity: 13, gpu-threads: 2 and worksize: 64 ... AMD drivers 14.9 are reported as problematic, use 14.6 instead.

[bigtop1967]

This is my current output......even with I=9 I still get HW errors

I'm using 14.9 which was fine with everything else - will go back to 14.6 and see what happens.

Created an account just because of this issue. I've been running since June with the same config and no issues. In the last week however I've been unable to connect to the Nicehash stratums. Sgminer reports all Nicehash 3xxx pools as dead, so I tried to manually connect to the 4xxx pools, but they're showing dead as well. This seemed weird so I tried to ping stratum.nicehash.com but I get no reply either at home or work, so maybe that's the issue? I've tried upgrading to Sgminer 5.1 and adding f8=0, but all Nicehash pools are still showing dead.

Any ideas?

[ReturnZero]

Is the most profitable algorithm list on the main website delayed? There are quite a few times that the Autoswitcher isn't lining up with what the main page says is the most profitable, often connecting to Scrypt-N when it's around 250% instead of Neo when it's around 400%. All my f values are at the defaults listed, f2=0.5 and f8=0.15 so I would think it should match, right?

Am I missing something?

[nicehashdev]

We just changed default factor of NeoScrypt from 0.15 to 0.3. If you use your own factor, then you may of course get connection to different algorithms.

[Automatic Monkey]

Hey Nicehash guys... I've still got a problem with my Antminers not being fully released when the paying price goes below my threshold. They never make it to the backup pool, or sometimes they do make it but with an extremely low hashrate, and the Miner Status screen shows the pool is still "Alive" for Nice/West. Any idea how to fix this?

Any idea's please?

We just changed default factor of NeoScrypt from 0.15 to 0.3. If you use your own factor, then you may of course get connection to different algorithms.

Thanks for the update. Do you think you can update what it says on the website here? https://nicehash.com/multialgo/

That's a good reference when setting everything up.

What I seem to notice is that several of the pools (all autoswitch nicehash) say alive at one time, and it just uses the highest priority alive pool which may not be the most profitable anymore. When I first restart sgminer only one is alive, then after a while when another also is more profitable then that one switches to alive but the previous one doesn't switch to dead. After a while if a higher priority pool gets switched to, it will never switch back to another.

Is this an issue with sgminer? Or something else I can fix, maybe in my config file?

[manfred87]

what's going on on buyer's side? ( scrypt, last two days, mainly on nicehash, not westhash )

there is one bot which places one order for every amount ( 0.23 , 0.24 , 0.25 . 0.26 etc .. ). he always uses a limit of ca 10-13 ghash.. then he sets the limit for high prices to 0.1 ghash.. so he always gets the  cheapest hashrate.. if a place an order, i am always overbidden automatially  within seconds.. he always invests a maximum of 0.05 btc or so.. and refills it once a minute or so.. as these orders stay for 15 days, he is always the top bidder for every amount...
come on nicehash, this can not be allowed! pleace introduce higher fees for bids / introduce fees for refilling / set an order down in the queue if refilled!

addionally:
during the day often 75% of the scrypt bids get dead simultaneously.. so the price drops to 0.07 or so ( much under value, ltc = 0.22 )
all my pools still work on westhash, but the very same pools on nicehash are shown as "dead"
BUT: the orders of this creepy bot stay active
that can't be a coincidence!
he gets hashrate for 0.07 and i am dead!


so it would be nice, if nicehash would comment on this..
