NiceHash.com - get paid more than mining on multipool - Scrypt/N/X11/X13/SHA3

[dogechode]

Okay I have to ask lol - what the heck is Pimp OS? Is it a whole operating system or a mining client like cgminer?

lol yeah.. I think its a spin off of BAMT if you ever have heard of it.

Important note for all sellers - providers

After extensive internal testing we can finally provide you with our own sgminer and cgminer builds.

As you probably already know, NiceHash is using some advanced stratum protocol features, therefore older mining software is not supported. We have prepared optimized sgminer and cgminer builds for you to get optimum performance when mining with GPUs on NiceHash. Of course, these builds will also work equally optimal on other pools.

Our builds includes patch for seamless order swaping without interupts, the idle bugfix as well as some other minor impovements.

Get the software here: https://nicehash.com/software/

Please, download our sgminer or cgminer binaries and please report if it is working well for you. We will apprechiate any feedback!

On our software download page you will also find links to latest BFGMiner builds with good GridSeed support (BFGminer 3.99.0) - hopefully Hashra and others will include the latest BFGminer in their software builds as soon as possible.

Thank you for using NiceHash!

Something goofy going on with that build.

I am running sgminer 4.1.271 and decided to give your build a shot since I have been hashing with NiceHash the last day or so. I have a set price point with NiceHash being the first pool in my conf file with CoinFu the first failover (as of this morning), followed by Wafflepool, and Clevermining.

For some reason, using the same conf file in the same c:\SGMiner directory, this executable completely skips CoinFu and goes directly to Wafflepool. If I remove all other pools except CoinFu, it just sits at the "awaiting active pool" prompt.

Y'all got something against the CoinFu folks or something?

Any plans to add x11?
To me it should be a popular algo for all the GPU owners during summer.

I have this same issue as well. I can't even manually switch to CoinFu using NiceHash's sgminer version on Linux. I reverted back to the original sgminer bin and was able to switch to CoinFu just fine. What gives?

We'll take a look. Obviously CoinFu rejects our stratum protocol extension, I'm sure we'll be able to fix this. Thanks for feedback.

Update: you can solve this easily with pool config.

Just add "no-extranonce-subscribe" : true to the CoinFu pool config

Code:

        {
                "name" : "NiceHash Scrypt",
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3333",
                "user" : "btc_address",
                "pass" : "x",
                "algorithm" : "scrypt",
                "nfactor" : "10"
        },
	{
                "name" : "CoinFu",
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://pool.coinfu.io:3333",
                "no-extranonce-subscribe" : true,
                "user" : "myrig_btc_address",
                "pass" : "myemail",
                "algorithm" : "scrypt",
                "nfactor" : "10"
	}

Please try and report if it works OK.

BTW: yesterday we released newer builds with some minor bugfixes: https://www.nicehash.com/software/

Confused on what to set my price at..

So if I have 30 MH's I want to point to NiceHash, how do I determine what I set my p= to???

Can I see a list of orders to see what the offers are?


And since I have MH's will it be something like p=0.004    Meaning I want a least 0.004 BTC per MH per day?

p=4 means if the price they are selling at, which is listed at the top of the page, drops below 4 it will roll over to your other pool.

[kenshirothefist]

We've added X11 algorithm. There are already some orders in place so you can start earning money with your X11 rigs asap, just point your miner to stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3336. The widely used sph-miner is supported. We will also provide you with optimized patched sph-miner for idlebug fix and extranonce patch. Stay tuned.

[kenshirothefist]

Good news! We've released patched and optimized versions of sph-miner for X11. You can download it here:

Giving this a shot, thanks, looks like a great service.

I am using the sph-sgminer supplied by NiceHash and have noticed lots of "Pool requested work restarts"...i don't have this problem mining at other X11 pools with my 280x

anyone else getting same issues with NiceHash?

Completely normal when work/job is changed.

[hiddensphinx]

Ok, but surely it should not take more than 30 minutes to change jobs?

I get "Pool requested work restarts" over and over again sometimes lasting for many minutes before getting an accepted share

And is it still worth it for you to use this even with all the "missed work due incessant restarts"?

Try to adjust difficulty to a lower value, see https://nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=faq#faqs7

[Amph]

how much is the payment per MH now?

[kenshirothefist]

Some good news here:
1.) X13 and Keccak (SHA3) algorithms have been added.
2.) Builds of the brand new sgminer-5 are available: https://nicehash.com/software/#sgminer (more info here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=632503.0); you can use this sgminer for all algorithms, supported by NiceHash (except SHA256, of course).

Thanks for using NiceHash!
