Hello,

I have point my two Antminer S2 to nicehash but as I see it get 20-30% rejected

17************ 450.97 214.75 (32.26%)
18************ 645.05 175.92 (21.43%)

Miner has latest firmware and diff is regulated by miner itself.

I have try whit --queue 0 --scan-time 1 --expiry 1 but still have same results.

Can rejected rate be reduced somehow?

Thank you

Unfortunately AntMiner S2 is know to have issues with our stratum servers due to a specific version of cgminer used in it which has a bug regarding handling of extranonce2 (as used in our stratum servers). You can try to use stratum-proxy and see if you get better results. btw: other Antminers (S1, S3, S4, etc.) are known to work good

I have try with proxy as described on your site with no luck, this is an error that I see in terminal where proxy run:

Code:

2014-10-24 10:28:00,669 INFO     [Grizzly-worker(1)]:strat.mining.stratum.proxy.worker.GetworkWorkerConnection - REJECTED share (diff: 512.0) from x@Getwork-/192.168.0.209 on Nicehash SHA256. Booo !!!!. Error: JsonRpcError [code=23, message=Share above target., traceback=null]

I also try with bfgminer proxy but also it get some errors and hr is about 500gh/s for two S2 which should be 2th/s.

So conclusion is that there is no way to mine with an S2 on nicehash without large number of rejected shares?

My order finally gets going and then it just stops, no reason.

I'll try and increase my accepted GH up to kickstart it off again, shouldn't have to monitor and manually control it .

After beating my head against the wall for several days, I'm hoping I have missed something ez here. Trying to run the strat-proxy server as setup lists on it nice/westhash's site. I have no problems at all getting to NiceHash and getting shares, my asics are getting about 15 mh very low errors, however I can't get any connection to Westhash at all, the config file is copied straight from the west hash site. All get is the errors below, over and over.

}

Is it possible they have my IP banned or something? I can get to their website with no issues. So I tried pointing my GPUs at the x11 for NiceHash and WestHash, NiceHash works fine, however WestHash is showing up dead.

BitDefender is reporting Sgminer.exe v5 that is being shared by nicehash as a Trojan. Some other anti-virus software are not detecting it yet.

https://www.westhash.com/software/sgminer-5.0-final-win32.zip

At first I thought it was faults positive, but after further research it defiantly has got a problem. It explains the strange mining results, missing hash and router log activity when using it.

Can someone please verify.

Isn't being reported as Trojan.

Hi,

We are not building our own binaries anymore, this is why https://www.westhash.com/software/sgminer-5.0-final-win32.zip binary was taken from http://cryptomining-blog.com/3590-updated-windows-binary-for-the-new-sgminer-5-0/ which is a very reliable source. However, it is quite possible that there are some issues with this binary since we haven't tested it extensively. We removed this link from the download page for now, please leave a comment on the cryptomining-blog.com to let them know that this binary has issues. We recommend you to use sgminer-5.0-badman74-mod-win32.zip which is verified and even has better performance.

Does Nicehash only use the Free or "Pro" version of CloudFlare? This would seem to be a fairly bad advertisement for their services as they're supposed to help protect against this sort of thing. Though their website does say that DDoS protection comes with the Business and Enterprise versions.

We were and still are under heavy DDoS attack, but we've mitigated it for now. We had to tighten our protection which might also filter out some good miner, therefore I ask you for your patience before we completely solve this.

It is actually a classic extortion attack, we received this:

"hey

your stratum server is under attack. pay 1 btc @ 1NTvZanqQmJAEkbLrM9HaMCWopCGzYePTt and i will stop and you are free for lifetime of your site

don't reply coz i won't be able to read, just pay uniq btc address and attack stopes instantly"

from [email protected], relayed by free.hostodon.me [85.17.249.89]

Anyway ... we are not negotiating with blackmailers, therefore we reported the incident to authorities.

Also to me it shows:

This page (https://nicehash.com/) is currently offline. However, because the site uses Clou... ?

And also I can't "mine" there atm.

Are there any problems?

I haven't been able to connect to either Westhash or Nice hash for about a week now. Is it an issue on my side? Tried rebooting both the router and the Gridseeds multiple times

I have tried setting the password to x or to a very low price such as p=0.0029 but no luck.

Thanks for the explanation and clarification. Yes, it does make it challenging for the rest of us "normal folks" to place orders. Either we have to place an order so high that there is little chance of earning a profit, or sits so low that it never picks up hashrate. Or you put an order in the middle, and what happens is the intermittent orders show up when profitability is good (thus sucking up all the hashrate), and then disappear when profitability drops, so you only get hashrate when rates are terrible and you wind up mining at a loss.

Maybe there should be a small penalty assessed on orders that should be active and at the top of the queue but are not for some reason, assessed each time they drop out. (By assessing it each time it drops, that lessens the impact on someone who has a legitimate problem with their setup at a mining pool since that would presumably be a one-time type event. By contrast the orders I'm describing may be dropping out and reappearing a dozen or more times during their duration.)

How do you pause orders, if you are leasing hashpower on Nicehash? I've been watching the orders on X15, where the profitability fluctuates pretty strongly (from around .00025 to .0006, for example), and can do so in just a few minutes. It's apparent that many of the orders have the ability to "pause" and drop off the active orders list as profitability drops; then the moment profitability rises above their order price, the order shows back up again.

At first I thought it was just people manually canceling and relisting orders (paying the anti-spam penalty), but the % Completion for each order proves that this is not the case. It's the same order that is appearing and disappearing so that the order is never mining unprofitably. What's the trick to doing this? Does it cost anything to pause an order?

We already explained this a few posts back. Our service doesn't have any "pause order feature". However, this can be kinda simulated/automated by someone who has his own private pools (and operate them at the same time) and can disable a particular worker/port on their pools. It is also possible that some public pools allows changing workers details (e.g. worker password) via API which would also result in a similar behavior (disable an order by disabling a particular worker). We will allow and monitor this while legit users are using it in a moderate way via their own ingenuity, but will always place system security, fairness and stability in the first place and disable any potential harmful operation.

We have also implemented some advanced rules in favor of manual regular operation for users who manually operate orders:
1- All orders have a lifespan of 15 days. This prevents long-term placeholder orders.
2- Dead place-holder orders are degraded to the bottom of sub-list of same-priced orders. This rule goes in favor of new orders instead of dead place-holder orders.

We are trying to run a service that would best suit the majority of our users - those who wish to automate the usage with our API and other third-party tools and for those who just prefer to use it in a regular manual fashion. But we also value your feedback and any comments and ideas are always welcome!

Thanks for using NiceHash&WestHash!

I just pointed my miners at WestHash (in the US) and used my Bitcoin addy. Is there something else to be done or setup for greater benefit? I didn't get the part about leasing hash or setting minimums.

https://www.nicehash.com/docs/connect-via-proxy/

Pay attention to the extranonce sub, and other tuning.

You can set password in your miner config like p=0.002 like this your miner will be rented only for the orders of 0.002btc or above

Now my question was: since NH calculate rentals on btc/ghs/day so how i can set my scrypt miners password to fulfill orders which are above 0.002/mhs/day and same for the SHA MINERS

You can't choose which orders to fill, all miners are paid average price, which is shown on first page (look @ information for sellers). If price goes down below your threshold, your miners will be refused to authenticate.
