Has anyone see a problem with Antminer S3's on Nicehas when you set a price and the contracts fall below that price (say 0.028)?

My understanding is the Nicehash stratum should go dead when there is no contract to fulfill so the S3 can failover to the secondary pool, but it doesn't, it stays alive and just stops accepting shares meaning the miner sits there idle and never fails over to the secondary pool.  Undecided

Yes with both my S3s and S1s,,,,and same thing on WestHash too.

My solution:

1. Given the decent prices on Nicehash right now, i just took out my price and let my miners run on NiceHash for now.

2. I monitor it closely and will move another pool into my priority position when Nicehash's average payout in BTC/THS/Day falls below what I know I can get on BTCGUIld or Eligius.

This is a well known idlebug, which we fixed in sgminer, but ASIC makers are not interested to include our fixes in their mining software.

You can try this to fix your issue: https://www.nicehash.com/docs/connect-via-proxy/

United prices across NH and WH are coming tomorrow.

Thx..that's great news. By not crossing the "big pond" with my signal, I get slightly better hash rates on WestHash... but NiceHash is always good too.

Will try the proxy ... with my zeusminers too.

so nicehashdev, when exactly are miners getting paid the same for both sites?


Good question. I think a ton of us are wondering.

ya next week kinda vague...and well its next week Grin hehe

We need to do some further testing, because this is crucial part of the system. I bet you don't want to end up with being paid less than what you should be Wink

True...but its already gone down hill so I probably wouldn't notice...I must be bad luck or something...every time I switch pools the payouts drop...guess I'm just late to the party Sad

I won't be renting from them anymore. My last order after disconnecting several times never showed up poolside. And I was using multipool so not a pool issue

as far as i can say they do not payout in regullary basis.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Once you reach .01 BTC you'll be on the coming pay cycle. (happens approx once every six hours). I've been paid like clockwork 4 times per day regardless of which of the 2 sites I'm on. anything as small as 0.001 is paid on sundays.

Was happily using the pool for months but in the last few weeks I have daily to twice daily occurrence of "job not found" glitches where whatever coin or contract being served by the pool is pointed at something stupid that serves only stales and produces rejections for hours no end.

No, that's the balance from my SHA miners that was generated today, look at my SHA page you will see the unpaid balance on that page matches my total unpaid balance, the balance on my Scrypt page is 0, and you can see from the black line I generated some balance from Scrypt over the last 7 days but it kept dropping back to zero (without payouts).

Plug in one of your scrypt miners for 5min so the graph can refresh. It is obvious that the graph is displaying old data - this happens if you stop mining, because we don't keep data for addresses with balance of 0.

Thanks! That's all I needed to know. Smiley

Suggestion: maybe you should wipe the graphs out rather than leave them frozen when people stop mining >7days, it's confusing at the moment because when I go and look and hover over the graph it says "4hrs 55mins" ago it makes me think that it is current information, better it showed nothing if theres no new data than keep showing old data that appears current.

Never used Westhash, only Nicehash. Just wondering where my (admittedly small) balance went?  Undecided

1MuvhMMDR2RTurY3keJP2grpSXjKVkLdCF (total unpaid balance: 0.00821341 BTC) oh look at the top...its still there, i think you need .01 to be paid out

Why does the balance go to zero without a payout? For example I had nicehash as a failover pool, so I had sporadic Scrypt hashrate over the last 7 days and accrued some small balance.

https://nicehash.com/?p=miners&a=0&d=7&addr=1MuvhMMDR2RTurY3keJP2grpSXjKVkLdCF

The balance (black line) dropped to 0 several times, but I never got a payout to my BTC address for it (as you can see in the transactions list below). Is this normal?  Undecided

If you're mining on west hash then the payout is combined between both
