Is this the correct thread for a couple of simple nicehashbot questions, or should I message support?
I believe it is an underutilized feature many would benefit from, especially if they are mining on a daily basis.
If I want to accomplish a couple of basic things such as:
1. I want to set a maximum price I am willing to pay in BTC per TH, but actually pay the least amount possible in BTC per TH. At the moment the bot simply uses my price no matter where the floor is and still requires me manually entering a price to maintain miners.
2. I would like a way to change the worker name based on the current price I am paying so I may track my usage of WH on a per price via the pool side data. Is this possible?
I understand these may be things I have to code myself. Is there a place where other nicehashbot users are sharing this type of code? If not where would you recommend we start an unofficial thread to discuss these things. They could be donation based as it seems to work well in other areas.
When I first joined I did not like the interface as much as a different site, but it has grown on me and I now enjoy many of the things you have done to allow the community to use the site in a more flexible way from the custom firmware to the bot. NH / WH has quickly become my favorite rental site.
I always ramble a bit so...
Personally I am loyal to Kano's pool. He and CK have done some things for me I will never be able to pay back no matter how much I plan to be able to tip in the not so distant future, but I do set my price for westhash on a significant portion of my best mining gear, my SP20s and when the price is right my baby girls swoop in. I enjoyed some exquisite payouts over the past week which barely affected my payouts with Kano. The downtime from my move, installing completely new power distribution, sub panel, all new wiring, sockets, all the way to my miners, and I will lose some mining time from cable management and moving everything to a new switch with a backup switch and backup internet. All for my measly little amount of hash power, but the actual doing is phenomenal fun and I plan for all of this infrastructure work to pay off or at least break even. I do consider it a business, it is too much work to be a hobby
If things changed to a point I was unable to mine with Kano I would use WH as my primary and evaluate the WH / NH pool as a viable permanent main pool. There are many data points to consider but so far you have been excellent to work with.
When I decided I wanted to put something in my sig along the lines of a sig "campaign" I did not want to represent a straight dice gambling site. I do not use them. I have began trading some but none of the exchanges were stand out to me as places I can recommend someone visit. West / Nice is a place I use on both ends and I feel good about recommending them. I have not checked any referrals in my account so it may not have done any good for them yet, but I have no doubts it will.
Once I get a version of the bot squared away the way I like it I plan to use the site to bring some acquaintances into the world of crypto in a try before you buy scenario. I want to be knowledgeable enough to be a crypto consultant in my area, organize meetups, and especially targeting people who are currently throwing their money away at all of the local casinos. Not everyone is a winner, and not everyone is a loser at a casino, but I feel the casino is setup to be a much more guaranteed loss. At least with NH / WH you can play a much bigger part in more variables deciding win or lose, (in my opinion), all from the safety of your home, or on the go while still spending quality time with your family, and in my case, supporting Bitcoin. I have only mined BITCOIN, but my main objective is helping promote the blockchain technology and I want to enable people to see what it and they can do.
I am loyal, and westhash / nicehash have been steadily earning a place with me for I hope a long time to come.
You guys get that communication is the main key. So many companies do not understand that even if the customer doesn't like your answer, if you respond and take the time to hear them, maybe offer some alternative plan or go into some details regarding how you may be able to help them in the future they still may not like the current answer, but if they have common sense they will see you are doing what you can.
In my opinion a for profit business which communicates and lets people know their current and future plans is the best kind of business for this world. I want the company I do business with to want making money in the top area of the priority list. It goes hand in hand with any long term business plan because it highlights customer service. Without customer service, you will not remain profitable for years and years, with customer service, you dominate in the long run. I make choices now with companies who cost more but offer me better service. I do not mind paying extra to a company who has proven to provide superior support, especially when they exceed in several areas. I can get internet service much cheaper from AT&T than Cableone, but AT&T has nowhere near the offerings and customer service.
If you read all of my jabber thanks, and I hope you are having a great day, night, morning or evening wherever you are across this world.
