[POOL] NiceHash.com Z.CASH/Scrypt/X11/PASCAL/etc. profit switch Bitcoin payout

[nicehash]

I am mining ZEC and I have not received any BTC payments yet. When I copy my BTC address onto the site it does not show me anything about my mining status at all so I can't even verify how close I am to the minimum payout

Basically like this, 42 sols/s here and no trace of anything for it yet

Are you mining on ZEC pool with BTC address? If yes, this is of course wrong. You must mine with a ZEC t-address on the Zcash pool. You should use BTC address only if you are selling your hashing power on nicehash.com service.

I may have screwed up by not adding this into my batch

stratum+tcp://equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357

Ok so just putting that in will make it work. According to the githb page for the miner it says to use the nheqminer.exe binary to sell my hash power for BTC which is the one I am using, with the BTC address as my username

Thing is on the github page for the miner it also says this as an example in regards to selling hash power with nicehash "nheqminer.exe -1 usa -u BTC-ADDRESS -t 6 -cd 0"

Maybe the problem me and others are having has to do with the Gitgub download page making it look like the set up works one way when it is not

edit:
The GUI showed me holding a 6 dollar balance, I think the reason I saw nothing is because I was searching for the wallet on the Zex.nicehash page. Well I can rest assured knowing where my hashes went now. Thank you

I actually have a suggestion although it may be nheqminer related rather than NiceHash

I've occasionally checked on my computer to see it only CPU mining. It would be interesting if the NiceHash program could recognize the hash rate as being low and do an auto switch back as a way reset the mining and get both the CPU and GPU active again, until nheqminer gets a function to auto reset. I think Claymore does that

If this could be added, a checkbox option would be good for that. If the GPU runs offline for any reason just restarting the miner does not include my fan settings from the OC software which could result in a heat problem while away. Zcash is weird in this way. It reports a much higher core clock speed than it should be in regards to the power consumption. I can avoid the GPU stopping by reducing my usual overclock offset in compensation to the unusually elevated clock rates

What with  EU servers? they doesn't work 
now work )

my $.02...

What you are asking does not sound like something the miner should do. If the GPU thread fails it is likely a problem with the GPU
that requires either a driver reset or system reboot. The best that can be hoped for is the miner detects the failure and reports it. It could also
exit, which would be more obvious, but would also miss out on CPU mining until fixed.

You could try running seperate instances for CPU and GPU with different worker names so you can easilly monitor them individually.

But the real fix is to set your clocks so the GPUs don't crash.

Reminder:

We have added SSL support for mining on NiceHash with Claymore Equihash Zcash miner (as you know, SSL lower's Claymore miner's fee from 2.5% to 2.0%).

You have to use stratum+ssl:// for stratum connection and use port 33357. Please see the examples below:

Mining with Claymore Equihash Zcash miner on EU location

Code:

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool stratum+ssl://equihash.eu.nicehash.com:33357 -zwal [YOUR-BTC-ADDR].[YOUR-WORKER-NAME] -zpsw -x

Mining with Claymore Equihash Zcash miner on USA location

Code:

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool stratum+ssl://equihash.usa.nicehash.com:33357 -zwal [YOUR-BTC-ADDR].[YOUR-WORKER-NAME] -zpsw -x

Mining with Claymore Equihash Zcash miner on ASIA Hong Kong location

Code:

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool stratum+ssl://equihash.hk.nicehash.com:33357 -zwal [YOUR-BTC-ADDR].[YOUR-WORKER-NAME] -zpsw -x

Mining with Claymore Equihash Zcash miner on ASIA Japan location

Code:

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool stratum+ssl://equihash.jp.nicehash.com:33357 -zwal [YOUR-BTC-ADDR].[YOUR-WORKER-NAME] -zpsw -x

Please note that this only applies if you are using Claymore Equihash Zcash miner version 9.2. Besides lower Claymore miner's fee there are no other benefits and if you're not using Claymore miner you can mine Equihash algorithm just as you've been used before.

with my stratum checker now available on my manager i was able to observe that many stratum servers are not responding from time to time for longer than 10 sec when initially connecting, which results in a timeout on my checker:



i have compared that to the output of some claymore eth miner running at that time where it reported "timeout", it continued to work flawlessly.

i have verified not a single response is sent on the first 10 sec, so my guess here is that existing connections work fine, but new ones are getting blocked/rejected/dropped or something

from time to time there really is a problem so the checker works as expected as the miner itself also fails to connect, but these cases seem rare (besides lbry eu stratum which is kinda buggy)

maybe you guys know why this is happening?

[NiceHashSupport]

If your app is periodically establishing connection, but then instead of actually mining on them, just terminating them, then you get yourself periodically banned for doing this.

We have strict anti-DDOS rules and such behaviour qualifies as an attack.

well this is unfortunate, how to check the stratum availability without triggering those bans?

unfortunately most miner developers dont want to implement failover (except sgminer, but only conf files afaik)

What exactly do you mean by "check stratum availability"? Our stratums are always available

well, sometimes they are not, i noticed this on my asics as they support failover pools and some hash is getting to the backup pool on a daily basis, probably just some minutes, but still

currently the stratum availability is verified by sending mining.subscribe and mining.authorize with the configured btc addr and pass to check if the stratum responds as intended

any failure before or during this test will mark the stratum as unavailable, this could be a simple invalid btc addr, a dns issue on the host, offline stratum servers or high latency network issues

sometimes when the frontend is down for maintenance the stratum is too (rare, but it happens), in such cases the miner should switch to backup pool and to nicehash back after its working again

yiimp and mph are both working great, they dont seem to implement such a banning solution

edit: it would be great if you could reduce the ddos "connections per second" definition to sane values, i approximate about 12-15 connection establishments per minute from two ips from my home, a ddos would likely be 15 connection attempts per second or more?

i could also increase the checking interval from 1 to 2 minutes, doubling the timespan and thus halving the connection attempts per timeframe

edit2: i dont know exactly how sgminer does it, but if i setup nicehash as a backup pool the addr will also be banned just by sgminer verifiying the backup pool from time to time i suppose

if sgminer does it by having a single connection open all the time (and thus not opening/closing new connections) i could implement that as well, but unfortunately i dont have that kind of a deep understanding of the stratum protocol (keepalive packets?)

[Toxic_Cat]

Which miner is best for mining ETH+DECR on NiceHash right now? I'm using Claymore DUAL, but may be it will be better software to do it on NiceHash?

Cause i have some Rejects sometimes. About 25% on Decred... 

[nicehash]

[nicehash]

We did some tweaks on default intensity settings on our fork of ccminer for X11-gost algorithm:

16.0+ MH/s speed for GTX 1080
12.5+ MH/s speed for GTX 1070

https://github.com/nicehash/ccminer-x11gost/releases

EDIT: we will soon upgrade NiceHash Miner and include this version of ccminer for X11-gost algorithm


Keep on hashing!

Any idea why my Daggerhashimoto hashrate seems to be on the low side when mining on nicehash?
Using smOS with RX 580 GPU's

Avg. speed is around 570MH/s, but it should be around 620.

[luiggybit]

Is there a way to replacing some .exe miners included in the Nicehash miner, for other ones? for example, I would like to change ethminer for claymore, and excavator for ewbf 0.3.3b ...

[spyshagg]

There is a miner dedicated to ethereum? why?  Isn't nicehash one single miner that auto-switches the coin automatically?

[mwgame1]

hello can i contact support somewhere, i should've receive my payment today my balance is 0 USD now and it was 50$ i went on my "Check my status"
and there's "No recent payments." in the "Payments" section this is really scaring me am i getting my money or not  ? its the first time this thing happens !
