You'll probably find the reason for the dropping hashrate is because the front-end has been down for a couple of days and miners don't like to leave their machines hashing when they can't see how much, or if, they are getting paid for their hashpower.



There was no down time. Can you elabore what kind of down time you are talking about?

The total SHA256 hashpower hasn't decreased, but moved to WestHash market. You might check it out.

Well whenever I try to view the nicehash.com website I have been getting this these last couple of days:



[edit] now that's interesting. This is the message I've been getting from google Chrome but because you said it hasn't been down I just checked in Firefox and it loads fine. What could have caused that?



Your browser cache - try pressing F5. We sometimes do restart the frontend, because we are putting on updates, but the downtime is the only a minute or two.

hashrate is decreasing these days, I think it would help if admin set a lower fee rate so that buyer would offer a better price for hashes and more miners would join.

The Antminer S5/S4 will keep the pool shown as Alive using #xnsub on the old URL (new url does not work with #xnsub on all of my miners).
If the price is not met, the pool stays Alive, but does no work and submits no work, and will not failover to the 2nd pool.
SP20 does not have this problem.
I am using Wed Jan 7 14:05:02 CST 2015 Firmware on the S5.
Also tried Wed Apr 15 15:17:03 CST 2015 on the S5.
Tried all Firmware on the S4, same issue.
Leaving them without the #xnsub on the old or new URL works properly and fails over to 2nd pool when price is not met, but no extra nonce subscribe of course.
Thanks for the attention to this issue! Love your site.

Anyone else have this issue for Antminer S4/S5?
If not, how did you fix it?

For the S4 I set up a stratum proxy on a raspberry PI. The S4 does not like when Nicehash drops below the profit. The S4 will drop or lock up. So the fix is create a Stratum proxy in your network -point your machines at it. Then out to Nicehash.

This is a solid technique--I struggled with the same issue.  Kudos!

Are you using original firmware or optimized by smith (available here: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=software#asic)?

any news server for

titan miner??? Grin Grin Grin Grin

We recommend you to try NH/WH again and see how it goes. Titans should be affected too (with better performance of course).

We've established two new stratum server entry-points locations: China - Hong Kong and Japan - Tokyo. Take a look at https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=gstarted

Also, all stratum servers are now even more optimized for better efficiency when mining with modern miners such as AntMiner S5, etc.

Thank you for using our service and keep on hashing Wink

great ...

we will add those to the list in the proxies for failover ...

will these also have the current whitelist running also? ... as we dont want to add them only to be rejected from the stratums ...

tanx for your great work so far ...

Would somebody plz tell me - Whats the best setting for - ZeusMiner HURRICANE X3  - using bfgminer???



  --scrypt  -S all -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333 -u your btc adresss -p x --set-device zeus:clock=328 --set-device zeus:chips=64 --set zus:ignore_golden_nonce=1



that's work with  any version of BFG that supports ZeusMiner, the version i would use for ZeusMiner is http://blog.rastating.com/mining-dogecoin-with-a-zeusminer-blizzard-and-a-raspberry-pi/ ...... or get it here https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=20477.0

or use ZoomHASH http://zoomhash.com/pages/raspberry-pi-software-update this one has 4.30 BFG . OR use MINERA later this week once the new version is released he fixed the Calculation bug  in MINERA with any version over 4.3.1  i was told .



you just won't have  extranonoce.subscribe subscription Support with BFG 4.3.1. I have run my hurricane for hours on westhash without using extranonoce.subscribe subscription with out one issue ever .

Stratum proxy code on WestHash has been improved. Hopefully, this shall improve mining performance for Antminer S5 users. Let us know if you notice any irregularities, and also if you notice any improvements.

Still having issue with both my S4/S5 using p=0.01 and for the Antminer's #xnsub in the URL
Both only actually show a checkmark on WestHash if no price limit is set (password field left blank).
The #xnsub to the URL on the S4/S5 seems to actually null the price setting as well, as it will never fail over to the other pool even when the price is not being met.


Contact me on PM, I will give you address of special logging proxy and we will see what is actually happening

Sorry, this issue seems to have been fixed, I am still testing, but confirmed the SP20 is working 100% as intended with the old URLs.  The new URLs however do not seem to accept the #xnsub at all.
