That is not bad luck, that a poorly designed system that rips off it customers. I paid for something and that was not delivered.

I'm sorry. I wont fall for the bad luck explanation, that's a systematic problem that occurred for the whole of two days, and that was successfully repeated in 4 different orders. I should remind you that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You should be checking your system, not blaming "luck", or the user for that. If after that you have enough evidence to blame luck, then blame it. For now you are simply avoiding the problem.

It is called bad luck. Miners have to be "lucky" to find shares. And higher the diff, the more luck is needed. I think someone good with statistics can actually calculate you the odds to have 20% difference.

If you want to avoid this bad luck, and get exact expected shares - set diff to 128. That is the lowest miner diff we support for SHA256. But also keep in mind that this will NOT increase your chance to find bitcoin block.

Wait, you are saying that i'll get 20% less shares if i use a difficulty compatible with the mining speed? Thats simply unacceptable. And that is not the explanation since i use the same pool with the same setup since december and only yesterday this difference occured, so, thats not the explanation.

I m of course expecting small differences to occur, but 20% is unacceptable.

Ah yes, you would get exact amount of shares only if you used low diff shares. Check this thread (I don't know which page, was long time ago) - we already had debate about this.

Keep in mind that our pool on the miners side allows miners to have diffs lower than what pool provides - they get paid for these shares but are not submitted to pool if being under pool diff.

1- bitcoin. Job switching occurred on average every 5 to 10 minutes (which matches bitcoin block changes).
2- the diff started at 1024 and peaked at 12000. The full list of submited difficulties is bellow:

If needed, full log can be provided.

Let me know:
1. which coin you mined? was there a lot of job switching?
2. what diff did your pool set for NH and WH connections?

Problem with submitted shares not matching what i paid for.

I verified the orders i submitted yesterday and today for the amount of shares actually submitted to the pool and they are at least 20% off. Which means i am paying 20% more for the hashrate i hired.

Has anyone else had similar problems?

Here follows my calculations:

Order	Price BTC/TH/Day	Total BTC	Unspent BTC	Limited TH/s	Expected Shares	Actual Shares (on pool)
Nicehash
#252158	0.0103	0.205702	0	100	401749338.9
#250693	0.0104	0.156702	0	250	303106382.5
Total nicehash					704855721.4	560946737

Total Westhash					784869659	668995673

Has anyone any idea what happened? Can i get my missing shares refunded?
Thanks,

Dear customers,

We are very pleased to inform you that NiceHash is upgrading to enterprise-level multi-signature wallets. For this purpose we have integrated BitGo's multi-sig technology. NiceHash is now joining leading services to incorporate the industry's best security practices available today.

Switching to a new platform requires changing deposit addresses. The switch will be done on February 25th at 15:00 UTC. Our web site will be put into maintenance mode on February 25th for approximate 1 hour during 15:00 UTC and 16:00 UTC. Stratum servers will be running unaffected, therefore your orders will also be running as usual and mining will be unaffected. Of course no coins or funds will be lost, just transferred to new deposit addresses. When you'll log-in after the maintenance you'll have to manually click "Generate Bitcoin deposit address" and your existing funds will be instantly credited to your new deposit address.

Please keep in mind that after February 25th at 15:00 UTC you should NOT deposit Bitcoins to your current deposit addresses, but instead use newly generated one (once it will be available after the switch).

We would like to thank you for using our service. We will continue to improve our service, make sure it's reliable and secure as well as introduce new features in the future upgrades.

Kind regards,

Maintenance?  This time of the day?

Yes, it is showing now thanks.  Just a bit slow updating.

That is fixed now. Extra rewards that we are giving to miners when job switch happens were counted as shares. If many such extra rewards are given, then vardiff kicked in. Now these extra reward do not increase share counter and vardiff should work normally.


It is on main NiceHash SHA256 page. You cannot see it?

I placed an order a while ago now and it is not showing up in "my orders".  Order #251863.  How long until it shows up.  I may need to edit it.

Thanks.

Current direct Bitcoin mining profitability is 0.0107 BTC/TH/day, and current profitability at NiceHash is a few percents above this, so you should set your p lower.

ref: http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bitcoin-mining-calculator (set "Hash Rate (GH/s)": 1000, leave everything else at defaults)

Does anyone use a set price for selling?  Seems the going rate is CHEAP!!  I set mine to 0.0125 and it all stopped.

@Nicehash What is up with the ridiculous difficulty today. It just started today my miners are still running but I am getting stuff like this.  

Worker4    0.0003    0.0000 (0.00%)    131072.0000    1159
Worker5    1902.5628    0.0000 (0.00%)    32768.0000
Worker2    482.6852    0.0000 (0.00%)    8192.0000    848

This is on Westhash.

Thanks in advance

Nobody from Betarigs contacted us so far regarding this matter. BetaRigs is having major issues since the acquisition from new owner, however there are no issues at our side. I suggest you to sell your hashing power directly via NiceHash/WestHash.

It would appear Betarigs and Nicehash don't work together right now.

From Betarigs:  We are having issues with rigs connecting to Nicehash/Westhash; we are in touch with them in order to address the situation. Please use another pool.

That was really odd now there all back to running fine... 2 of them would not connect for almost 2 days, rebooted, and repowered, they just connected on there own....

I have 3 antminer s3's all but 2 will connect, all have the same firmware, only 1 will connect, its driving me nuts lol

What is your configuration in your miners and what miners are you running- Coin type - I run SHA256. I am on westhash I have been running for a considerable time on the pools and have no problems
