trying to mine on westhash I put p=0.0122 and my miner is not mining put if I just put x as password it mines how to I set the p value ?

 

if you put a password for miner -> p=0.001 on your ant miner interface, it doesn't mine at all, same for d=1024 or some combination like p=0.001;d=1024

you need stratum proxy I guess...

Make sure you do not use #XNSUB feature. Then p=0.01 should work.

Hi,
Just a question about a notice that appeared on nicehash website today.
Just after the payout run, a notice appeared at the bottom of the worker info table. It said words to the effect of
"you have misconfigured miner(s) too much invalid work - see FAQs"

I looked at the  FAQs and found the FAQ related to scrypt mining and using an older version of cgminer

This message appeared on a page of SHA256 workers, of which 2 S3s are running your official cgminer binary and an S5 which has apparently been updated for extranonce compatibility.

I do run a few GC3355s through nicehash, but they a running through cpuminer and don't appear to be having any issues. The notice didn't appear on the scrypt page of my results anyway.

As it happens, the notice has disappeared from the SHA256 page too now.

Any clues ?

Thanks

After 20 hours with diff set to 8192, I had an effective rate of 326 MH/s and 7.1% rejects. So apparently the Titan still doesn't work very well at westhash/nicehash. Back to clevermining

Have you tried merge mining? Try using Ghash.io or Multipool.us merge mining to getvmore profit. I recommend Ghash.io . If you have any question about this, PM me, posting here is Off-topic. Smiley

How to you set DIFF manually if you use #XNSUB I heard you cant have multi parameters on the password line if you are using it. I dont like the DIFF values I am getting. I am getting a lot of HW errors that I dont get with F2POOL.COM ?

I have used price and difficulty parameters ecen after using #xnsub & #skipcbcheck and there was no problem. May I know the source of your hearing? Smiley

Wrong info from me about the mining software. The Titan uses bfgminer v 5.0.0 so extranonce isn't an issue.

You will have to set #xnsub and #skipcbcheck manually, i.e., your pool url will be stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3333/#xnsub#skipcbcheck .

Based on what the Westhash site recommends for difficulty I used 32768 which is the recommendation for a hashrate of 64MHs - 128MHs, although I'm over that at app 330-350 MH/s, but the 64 - 128 MH/s is the highest range on their chart.

Try to set the difficulty to 16384 - d=16384 . You can set the difficulty you like, you don't want to put the difficulty they recommended. If this is also not working, don't set any difficulty, just mine without difficulty parameter(d=X).

After 6 hours with that difficulty my hashrate is way lower than I get elsewhere (327 vs 340+ at clevermining) and rejects is at 6.8, so that difficulty isn't the answer.

I keep hearing (actually only from Nicehash/Westhash people) that the Titan works on Nicehash/Westhash and gets 350 MH/s with low rejects, etc but every time I try it I get lower hashrate and high rejects. I'll probably head back to clevermining - where my return might be very slightly less - but I can set the miner and forget it and get a high hashrate and low rejects.

Please do what I say and check whether it is okay! Smiley

Thanks for the additional feedback. I've been using the #xnsub and #skipbccheck all along based on a posting/recommendation on the KNCMiner forum on 1/10/15 which said the following:

    We suggest you to use #xnsub AND #skipcbcheck parameters to get stable mining on NiceHash or WestHash, example:

         stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com/#xnsub#skipcbcheck

       With those settings you'll be able to get a stable 350 Mh/s average speed with fw 1.95 overclocking at 325MHs.


**

And the poster posted this screenshot https://www.nicehash.com/imgs/KnC_Titan_NiceHash.png as "proof" but to me that looks like 320 MH/s over 1253 hours, not 350 and what looks like 0.00% rejects Huh.

Based on the screenshot, about an hour ago I tried 16384 and I'm currently at an effective hashrate of 327 MH/s with a reject rate of 6.5% so I still apparently haven't located the secret decoder combination of settings which will get me mining at app 340-350 with a reject rate of around 1-2%.



After 20 hours with diff set to 8192, I had an effective rate of 326 MH/s and 7.1% rejects. So apparently the Titan still doesn't work very well at westhash/nicehash. Back to clevermining

ant 1 = Antminer S5
ant2 = Antminer S3 oc to 250mhz
ant3 = Antminer S3 defualt 225Mhz

Ant1 is giving me issues ant 2 and 3 or not ant2 is overclocked and ant3 is not. I am Getting a lot of rejected speed issues with the S5 ?

Yeah, like you're connected with an ethernet cable. Wink

I get a little better numbers from my office - on westhash, not f2:

Guys, guys, you are not pinging our stratum servers but CloudFlare's proxy servers for our web page which will always be close to you since CloudFlare has globally distributed infrastructure. But web servers has nothing to do with mining, you have to ping stratum servers to find your ping time. We have ping disabled on our stratum servers, but you can ping the endpoints of our provider's datacenters:

"ping speedtest.ams01.softlayer.com" for NiceHash
"ping speedtest.sea01.softlayer.com" for WestHash

this will give you ping results, relevant for miners your (should be below 100ms for optimal results) - of course you should ping from the location of your miners.

f2pool stratum address is stratum.f2pool.com

"ping stratum.f2pool.com" will give you ping results for f2pool connection.

I agree with you 100 percent I get the same ping times only a couple of milliseconds better but for some strange unknown reason I always make the most on www.f2pool.com ?

any ideas I really like westhash ?

How long is the "always" time period?

thats my whole question how do I know what westhash is currently paying Huh

From the westhash.com home page:
http://aimsports.com/mike9/westhashpaying.png

They are paying 0.0116 at this moment. (Edit: for SHA-256)

For grins I did the same ping test. My ping times to westhash.com are around 3.6 ms!

I'm thinking that their server must be in the same data center that we use ;-)

It is behaving correctly, westhash is paying 0.0115 at the moment.  So you're not mining there since 0.0115<0.0122.

If you are certain that you can outperform variance and expected return, then that's an argument for buying from Westhash.

As to speed and locale, if I ping each from the US west coast, the results are:

Keep in mind that f2pool takes 4% fee while NiceHash/WestHash only taks 2% and also keep in mind that f2pool stratum servers are far away for USA and EU users (China - as far as I now) - high latency will make you rejects and stales which will decrease your payouts - you have to take into consideration all parameters not only hashrate and prices.

Also, due to our special service implementation with extra rewards for miners on fast switching buying orders you have to monitor the actual earnings, not only hashrate of your miner, multiplied by predicted average direct Bitcoin mining. Our service has the most predictable and stable mining incomes, this is why many users stays at our pool even at declared below direct Bitcoin mining profits and this is because our stable and low latency connection and consistent payouts, - all this makes better then Bitcoin mining in short-term profit (not to mention the extreme spikes with high profits which happens once in a while Wink ).

Thank you for using our service!



not bad for high rejects and stales and thats only one of my miners I run a antminer S5 and two S3's total 2.2 TH/s combined speed.

I use verizon fios as my internet connection.
