Hi,

Regarding bots and activating/deactivating orders: We are aware of these issues and today we implemented another feature that will prevent or demotivate usage of such massive and bullying-style of activating/deactivating orders (placeholder orders will simply be auto-canceled in case of inappropriate usage).

We would also like to announce that we have in development two new features which will be great for users, looking for stable rentals of smaller amounts of hashing power:

1) Dynamic orders: dynamic orders will allow you to set an optional maximum price besides default bidding price. This will make your order dynamic. Such an order will auto-increase price (up to maximum price set by the user at order create time) if other orders would overtake your place and you would be loosing hashing power. And it will also auto-decrease price in certain intervals if hashing power for lower price will be available (up to default bidding price). In other words - system would make sure to keep your limited hashing power at the best possible price in the price interval, set by you. Of course, this would still not guarantee for other orders not to overtake your order by rising price above your maximum price. This is what Fixed orders are for.

2) Fixed orders: Users will be allowed to create fixed hashing power orders. What we noticed is that users are willing to pay a bit over average price (let's call it premium price) to have a guaranteed alive order with a dedicated hashing power. Fixed orders will allow this to set order type as "fixed" order - in this case your order will stay alive with your limited hashing power even if all other orders are set at higher price. A few rules will apply:
- fixed orders will be time bound (duration minimum 24h and maximum 7 days), but you will be still able to cancel order at any time without penalty and of course order might be finished/completed if funds on order are exhausted before order expiration time;
- one will have to pay premium price for fixed order; we haven't yet decided on formula, but will probably be: (current_avg_price_for_algorithm + 20%); that said a dynamic minimum acceptable price threshold will be applied at order create time: if you would set lower price then the threshold, your order wouldn't be accepted - threshold will be displayed (in most cases this would still be below market price of competitive rig rental sites but with much easier management of renting hashing power);
- only a percentage (probably 30%) of all available hashing power will be available for fixed orders; once the global quota for fixed orders will be filled, you won't be able to create additional fixed orders (this is to maintain the core feature of our service - get massive hashing power on demand).

With the introduction of Dynamic and Fixed orders we would like to improve our service especially for smaller customers, looking for smaller/medium amounts of hashing power that would look&feel just like renting an actual rig, but still with all the great features of hashing power rental (cancel at any time, pay for accepted shares only, no worries for faulty rigs) - this would make traditional rig rental truly obsolete and there would be no reasons to simply rent hashing power at NiceHash.

Please let us know your opinion on these proposed features - we still have time to make some modifications based on your feedback!

Thank you for using our service!

It also ends up ripping off the guys that are renting out their rigs because they could be getting more money if it wasn't for the asshole running everyone off....

Nicehash has become a Joke...If the asshole that sits on the Scrypt miners 24/7 doesn't want you to have any hash rate he drives the price up by switching his 200 ongoing accounts to a price slightly above the one being rented and will continue to do so till he runs people off.  NiceHash lets this guy continue until it is just not worth fighting the guy and he ends up with tons of Hashrate at extremely low prices.  It is either a bot controlling it or its the NiceHash owners doing it.... either way its a joke and if you want to have a stable rental it cannot be done on NiceHash- so as a frequent renter I would rec. sticking with the other guys rental place MRR
Keith

could ssomeone advise me how to hire rigs from MRR and fill some orders of NH; problem i am facing that MRR wont authenticte NH or WH servers? is it normal or i am doing something wrong

Faith in ltc restored?

rent for scrypt went up
any idea what is going on?

what's up with the 17:00 UTC payment today? still unconfirmed after 1 hour?

New small feature: you can now decrease price of existing orders, see details in FAQ: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=faq#faqb6

Hello NiceHash,
I am trying your API to get information about my orders, but I am not able to get the expiration date. I expect that I cat see it in the "end" keyword. In your example I see an integer value. If I try it in my browser I get "end":0. In the "start" keyword is the zero value as well. What I am doing wrong?

Please share the config file, there might be any mistake in it.

P.S. I will go offline anytime now.

I tried it with lower values too. The question is: why does the miner not even switch to the second pool I have entered?

Yeah plus there has to be room at that price for more miners, usually people will pay a high price but only allow 5TH of miners for example.
Anything special needed for SP20?
Updated the firmware, but they seem to react slower to checking if nicehash is profitable/alive than my S5.  Will keep looking into it.
My S5 has caught around 1 hour on and off today of .0116 while SP20 has yet to mine on the pool and should have been open space at that price at least twice.

It is maybe because that you have set a higher price or the difficulty is very high.

I tried it exactly like that with my S5 and it does not mine at all till I use a standard password again...

You can use any price! Check the profitabilty everytime and update it. Else, you may miss some mBTC.

I would suggest to use a leading zero:

p=0.012;d=1024

Don't know if it's required but that's how it's shown in the FAQ.

I'm an idiot, didn't even check just saw it as the top option.
Thanks.
I'm using:
p=.012;d=1024
for my password.

You're connecting to Scrypt port. Use stratum+tcp://stratum.westhash.com:3334 for SHA256.

https://www.westhash.com/?p=gstarted

I'm using an S5 with the latest firmware.
Have tried:
stratum+tcp://stratum.westhash.com:3333#xnsub
and
stratum+tcp://stratum.westhash.com:3333
User I just have my bitcoin wallet.
Password I have blank and also tried p=.011
It would mine and find blocks, but 0 were accepted and none showed up on nicehash/westhash.

pre-compiled binaries for AntMiner S2?
