Today, found a bad bug in the nicehash service that people provide miners through.

Using asicboost ...

One of the miners on my solo pool was doing a regular fun run but got 71 rejected shares = 71000000 difficulty of rejected shares.
i.e. nicehash was passing the shares through to the pool, but the pool was rejecting them.
So he was also paying for them, since nicehash decided they were ok.

The problem was that the shares were from work more than 20 work changes ago.
i.e. very old work that had expired coz it was 10 minutes old, but the miners were passing through shares with that very old work.
What should happen is that every time a new work item is sent to the miners, it should ... be sent to the miners.
That happens every 30 seconds on my solo pool.

So one or the other of:
nicehash doesn't always pass work updates to miners,
nicehash allows miners to reply with invalid old work through their proxy.

I've no idea if this is a new, or very old ongoing problem.
But assuming it's crap miners connecting to asicboost on nichash, then passing back very old work should be rejected at nicehash.

It also has the bigger issue of reducing the number of transactions that are confirmed on Bitcoin,
since ignoring work updates, in this case, means you are working on the transaction list from 10 or more minutes ago, which will always be smaller.

This of course is different to stale work.

And I will quote from the opening post:

Edit: also got the lowest amount of work in a long time on that run now that' it's complete.

I do find it rather a scam that, when nicehash states 1PH, they thus can supply less than that without people realising it.

1PH for 1 hour is simply a calculation from a very specific number that they also use.
It's 10^15 * 3600 / (2^32) Difficulty ~= 838190317 Difficulty in shares.
Difficulty is a number you 'should' be able to see on pools, since it is the number all pools have and use to convert to a hash rate.

Miners are never measured in hashes per second, they are always measured in share difficulty,
then that is converted to a hash rate.
That is how bitcoin mining works.
I should know, I'm the second main developer of the most used software in miners on the planet - cgminer.

So when you pay for 1PH for 1 hour you should get ~838190317 Difficulty in shares, but they will always rip you off and cut it short.

“Are your withdrawals temporary locked?
There are 2 possible reasons why your withdrawals are locked:

If you reset your password (and you don't have 2FA enabled), change an email, or disable 2FA, we will disable all withdrawals, API keys, and some parts of buying and trading for your account for up to seven days. This is due to security reasons in case your account gets hacked.

Your account is labelled as inactive. Due to our internal security policy, we instruct our users with sleeping-inactive accounts (accounts that weren’t used for several months) to complete the KYC procedure. This procedure enables us to diligently detect and prevent any malicious or unlawful use or use prohibited by our Terms of Service.”





How many hoops does one have to jump through to withdraw some dust from you guys?

So you force me to set up 2FA to withdraw some dust, and then you lock my account for 7 days because I recently changed my 2FA, and are probably going to want me to KYC before I can WD the dust in my account because I haven’t logged in for a while?

Convince me your not doing this just to try to make it such a hassle to WD that you just end up being able to keep peoples little bit of coin they were able to make on your site..

Bad form..

Hello I am romain georgel and I lost more than 30,000euro of bitcoin while trying to mine on www.nicehash.org my email address is [email protected] how is it that instead of making money I lose some

Greetings.
Using latest stable NM version (3.0.5.6). Mining eth with Phoenix miner (yes, the official 5.5c with equal hash checksums)
And often get epoch switch from actual ETH to epoch 0. (Some other ppl told me that this is ZIL mining.
This could be several times for an hour, and re-creating DAG for actual eth epoch bothers me a lot.
Is there a way to stop switching for mining ZIL? (or whatever this is)

All of my rigs running Nicehash  show offline in the dashboard for each PC and the online web monitor shows nothing connected, yet the miners seem to be connected and running, anyone else running Nicehash?

Started at 11:14 Eastern time

Says "not connected to NHWMS, Check your internet connection".

Online dashboard says none of the rigs are online, yet all of them are actively mining.  Looks like maybe to a different wallet.

Anyone else?

Wow! Totally forgot about the remaining balance I had still outstanding from the hack. I wrote it off months ago.
My last payment just showed up in my wallet 2 hours ago totally out of the blue and  just now confirmed.
Thank you Nicehash!   

Digging up my old account, to say ...

Congrats Nicehash for the full repayment following the hack!

Crypto is a very very hard place to do business... Doing "just" business is hard... But then in crypto, you have to assume all of your apps will be scrutinized by very sophisticated developers looking for a weakness... The more crypto your business holds, the more malicious brain matter will focus on you... And when they find something, they will exploit it the more efficiently possible...

And then, you get hacked for a very significant amount of BTC. But instead of just stopping business like many other have done after a hack, you decide to go on, with the extra difficulty of loss of trust by customers, and a huge debt of BTC you actually plan to repay. And after severel years, you deliver.

Big respect to you Mr Škorjanc and your colleagues that went throught this.

Mux, from your old Betarigs competitor :-) -- 6 years already!

For now we cannot recommend you any cloudmining site since mostly all of them are scams so better step your foot out and learn something good rather than seeking the same thing. Try to learn trading since for sure you will get decent profit and you will possibly enjoy once you are the one trading your coins manually on top tier exchangers now.

hey guys, sorry for my English

i want cloud mining service/company ,that i invest in it , which one can you advice me?

Didn't expect for us to get the rest of our money back from the hack. Truly a class act, thanks nicehash.

Just click on the Benchmark tab and click the START BENCHMARK button.

Using nicehash 3.xxx.  Did some tweaks to claymore eth hashing.  How do I do a RE-benchmark on an algo?

Please open a support ticket for cases like that ...


The fees should be lower now. Try using Lightning Network to avoid high fees.

The fee's keep adding up...

Today i am Paying 20 % fee for a withdrawel........ thats insane ....!!!!!

The fee's at the moment paying in nicehash for withdrawing are way to high....

Hi there can you help me. I am having problem with my nicehash miner. I can't benchmark my MSI GEFORCE GTX 1060 6gb right now. I recently saw that gtx 1060 is profitable to mine. I am using the new version of the miner by the way.

I am trying to place a SHA256 order on USA marketplace but I am getting an error: "User order temporary locked". I wonder what is it all about. Just prior to trying to place an order I had my password reset. Maybe a security lockdown? but atleast they could have given me a timeframe till which it will be blocked.
