Still I make more than that on f2pool.com why would I want to use westhash Huh?

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!

Try Nicehash but currently the profit is low. ...

..now with the difficulty increase two blocks ago, the profit is "high" - paying ~6% above the expected return.

Except "Bitcoin mining profit:"  of 0.0122 BTC/TH/Day is now 0.0113, as of 8 blocks ago.  Your source of calculation, including Nicehash just hasn't updated yet.  Not trying to argue here..

can antminers do keccak ?

No, antiminers SHA256 miners. They can't mine coins of other algorithms.

I am new to this and confused I know call me a noob but I kneed help ?

also how do you set Price BTC/TH/Day to make the most profit with my miners using the P= option ?

Go to Bitcoinwisdom mining profitability calculator and change these values:
1) Hash Rate : 1200 to 1000
2) Hardware Price : 7080 to 0
3) Hardware Power : 780 to 0
4) Pool Fee : 2 to 0

Then check the table and copy the first value under 'Revenue'. Put it as the price. Currently, the price parameter will be p=0.1267. This is my price parameter and this is the recommended way to set the price.

I am running two antminer s3's with one antminer S5 they hash at 2.2 TH/s combined speed.

right now the best pool I make the most on is www.f2pool.com

Try Nicehash but currently the profit is low. Have you trued merge mining, BTC+NMC?

Does anyone have a good stable config for Keccak algo on the 280x using the multi-algo autoswitching sgminer?  I keep getting at least 20% reject due to Job Not Found and a lot of stale shares as well.  Never been able to figure this one out.  All the other algos are working fine for me except Keccak.

Thanks!

Replace pools with the multi-algo pool settings. After that, the configuration is stable. Try it and report here. Hope it works!

Hi Muhammed,

I already use a multi-algo config and I'm not sure how changing the cost settings will eliminate job not found or stale shares.  Please review my config and let me know what I can improve.  Thsnks!

Did you ping the websites nicehash and westhash? Which is closer to you? Use the closer one and try again. Try decreasing the difficulty again or with no difficulty parameter.

   -MZ

I'm on the west coast of the US so I assume westhash is closer and that's my primary with nicehash as a failover. The ping times are quite similar though.

I set difficulty to 8192 and I'm going to let that run until I check it later tomorrow. I already tried with no diff and that produced 330 MH/s effective hashrate and 5.2% reject rate after 24 hours. That might be the best I get if I stayed at westhash.

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

   -MZ

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%.

Try to use extranonce subscription and also try to set a custom difficulty(neither high nor lower). See https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=faq#faqs9 for difficulty table.

P.S. Have you tried BFGMiner?

Hello All,

newbie question: Where can I find a (good) description of using nicehash (with miningpoolhub or any other) profitably (i.e. with a plus, not a huge minus), as a buyer of hashing power?

The explanations or FAQs on the website are absolutely not sufficient for a newbie.

How should I estimate how much to bid and what about the limit for GH/s ? Why does it stop when I don't limit it? Why do I have to set it manually to lower? No limit should include all lower values, if I remember my math right? (Or is it not an upper limit?)

And again: How do I generate more income then cost?

I made a big loss (relative, not absolute Wink in my first order attempt...  Angry )

Thanks

Hi
  I have put my 1.2th miner on here and can see it mining from my miner gui. What i cant work out is how to see the mining stats of my miner from the website.  Please help !!

Assuming this is SHA256:

or
