Fresh sgminer binaries with optimized Lyra2RE algorithm (by djm34) and support for multi-algo are available: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=software#sgminer (thanks badman74 for windows build). Do not forget to include ";f9=1.5" to the password parameter of your NiceHash multi-algo configuration if you want to enable Lyra2RE for multi-algo.

I have problems with my eyes.
I see only sgminer-5.1-dev-2014-11-13-win32.zip that does not work with l2re

Sorry, our software page was accidentally reverted to an older revision ... we fixed that now and you can download the sgminer-5.1-2014-12-20 binaries.

I did a short test with the original cgminer on the s1, but currently I think it also shows the same problems.
my S3 behave a little bit better with the payout threshold, but not 100%

Which binary for AntMiner S1 are you using? You should use the latest version from our download page (https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=software#cgminer) because the first version that was provided by 7queue indeed had the idlebug ... but this should be fixed in the latest version from our download page. If you still having issues you could maybe ask 7queue to look into it at this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=850620

We don't have AntMiners S1 in our lab, but we do have AntMiners S3 as well as Spondoolies SP20s and we can confirm that the binaries for S3 and SP20 are working 100% correct with extranonce.subscribe and price-limitation switching.

This explains my issue exactly, but I am using your cgminer for S1's downloaded from your site.  Your cgminer for S3's and SP20's seem to work great on my miners. Whats strange it also does it in bfgminer proxy.

I got the S3 cgminer from your site and it works great. Idlebug is gone. Thanks!

Yes, I was using that version from your site, assuming it has not changed in the last 1-2 Weeks.

thanks for your advices

Pool down?

[jpouza]

Pool down?

Yep, another multipool down, as seen with wafflepool.

I will stop mining, doesn't worth it anymore, low profit, bad pools, BTC price crash, game over for us.

[jpouza]

X11 Pool up again...

Scrypt not so good yet.

[vortexz]

nicehash payout is so low this days on SHA-256
not worth renting here anymore
back in the days payout was constantly 10-20 % more
now payouts are in the red zone

wafflepool and trademybit gave it up, but we are still here for you! But obviously we are one of the last ones big enough to be interesting for DDoS ... unfortunately. We are currently again under another type of DDoS which is hard to filter, but we mitigated the attack on NiceHash, working on WestHash now.

Thanks for the explanation and support.

It seems wafflepool is gone for good.

Sorry for the lost corrupted souls that only bring caos and disorder to this world as you mentioned in the email.

Cheers

Just for Your information. Spondoolies SP20 latest firmware contains extranonce support. No need to change binaries. I have tested it with nicehash and it works nice(hash).

Sounds like a lot of work for 1 BTC. He should learn from his mother and give fellatio in the park at night, he would earn his 1 BTC faster and make friends instead of enemies.

Is there anyone with Gridseed G-Blacks running stably on Nicehash/Westhash that can give me some pointers?

The problem that I'm experiencing is that they start out running at expected accepted hash rates (50+ Mh/s). Nicehash bumps up the difficulty gradually finally settling on 32k (which is very, very high for these - each blade only hashes at ~2.7 Mh/s and every other pool using vardif settles them at 1024. It's fine if it super high and stable - I understand/know that it evens out.) During all of this the hash rate constantly decreases, and there are upward spikes consistent with the increased dif. After some time at that point, Nicehash will do funky things with the difficulty - dropping it as low as 20 and bouncing around all over the place again. Around this point is when things get all fubar'd, and no matter what I try the accepted hash rate reduces to around half of what it should be (~22 Mh/s) along with approximately 50% hardware error rates. The rejected rates seem to be pretty typical for Nicehash/Westhash. Takes approximately 4 hours of uptime for this to occur.

My setup is as follows:
2x Gridseed Orbs with Linux vm controller
2x Gridseed G-Blacks with Linux(crouton) on a Chromebook for a controller (I am not using the built-in Raspberry Pis)

These net me a rock solid and consistent 53-54 Mh/s accepted for days/weeks on end on other pools - so I know the miners are perfectly fine. I have tried everything I can find/think of to get things stable on Nicehash, but I'm at my wits end. I've used various software; cgminer jmordica's 3.7.2, dmaxl's 4.3.5, and bfgminer 4.99. All with and without the stratum proxy. I also tried the queue, scantime, and expiry settings that are suggested, as well as specified difficulties (but it doesn't adhere to them.) Nothing works to solve this problem aside from restarting the mining software and going through the whole dif adjustment process all over until it eventually fails again

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Another info is that there is no need to change any other settings with SP20, because by default --queue is set to 1 which works fine. The only thing You have to do with SP20 is to buy one, do fw upgrade (it is pretty easy to do) and point unit to Your favorite pool.

And when using our pool with SP20 do not forget to set xnsub: stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3334#xnsub or stratum+tcp://stratum.westhash.com:3334#xnsub

Did Titan miner work good with nice hash???

Any good coin to mining with scrypt miner??

I don't know whether Titan miner works with nicehash or not. If it isn't working, I suggest you to mine in Multipool.us. It changes to profitable coin while merge mining with Doge or you can choose Ghash.io LTC+Doge mining.
