Can anyone help.  I put in an order to mine scrypt on a pool but it says the pool has rejected the connection.  Is there a list somewhere that says which pools are compatible with this service?  I am trying to mine LTC on F2Pool.

nicehash easy as 1,2,3

I am not a techie guy, thats why i use this site for mining. it's automatically converted to BTC. i saved transaction fees or exchangers Smiley

Does someone know what "extranonce change requested" means. I'm mining X13 at port 3337.

Thank you Smiley

Nicehash-

Any chance of arranging the workers by name on the Miner status page? I have quite a few rigs, and there appears to be a random order in which they are listed. Normally I am able to sort, or it is sorted automatically for me at other pools.  I know it's just a visual change, but it helps me more quickly spot issues that way.

That would indeed be very practical. Also the idea with the unpaid balance info is really needed. Thanks!

Unpaid balance is already done.

How do you want sorting to be done? By speed?

With a little bit of Angular.js code you could make all the columns in the table sortable. Smiley

As people are dumping feature requests on you, one thing I would still like to see is a summary tab which shows balances and hashing speed for each algo in one table.  Second table could have a list of all workers.  There have been many days where I've mined on four different algorithms so seeing a summary would be helpful.  Currently, I rely on NHC to show me those summaries (minus the workers) but that only works when I'm in front of the computer running it.

Since yesterday my SHA hashrate has been way down.  I thought it was my rig (S2) and started tweaking things, but when nothing fixed it I reverted to what I had and tried another pool (multipool.us) ... with the exact same settings I get ~1116 Gh/s on multipool, and about 976 Gh/s on Nicehash ... prior to yesterday I'd get ~1.1 Th/s on Nicehash with those settings ... not sure what's up ... anyone else experiencing anything similar?  Is it related to the DDOS?

I have been getting less . Every where else (ghash,btc guild , butminter. ) I get 980-1100
But on nicehash I get 400

Is there a way to update the on build in miner ? Or dowse need to run it through a PC with nicehash miner running it ?

Also my reject rate is close to 20%

Diff d=1024 . D=512 didn't make a difference

This is because of the way Nicepool handles rejects.  Lots of people are mining BTCD, and BTCD was running at about 15-20seconds per block yesterday.

Nicehash penalise miners by not paying for rejected shares just after a new block, even though it's not the miners fault (and the renter gets credit for these shares, btw).

So yeah. It's a bad deal all round.  I doubt I'll be leasing my rigs through here again.

Not true.
1. Each provided job is valid for at least 1.5 seconds
2. Each job has 0.8 seconds stale window
3. We reward miners with fake accepted shares if jobs are being switched fast
4. If share is rejected by NiceHash, it is not sent to the pool

How exactly does the order system work? For instance, if I configure my miner with p=0.70 but there are orders with 0.8x, will I always mine the highest order automatically?

No, all miners are paid average price, which can be seen on front page under "Currently paying".

Is nicehash compatible with Antminer S1 ?  Do we need to modify cgminer or upgrade the firmware ?

You're not algo switching with an SHA-256 ASIC, so yes, it's compatible with any SHA-256 ASIC based hardware, just point the miner at port 3334 and away you go, just like any other pool.

I couldn't find anything useful when searching, so I presume this hasn't really been documented anywhere ...

I've very possible to use multi-algo without sgminer 5 and the extranonce stuff ... I'm only doing it with CPU miners, but I'm sure it could be applied to GPU miners somehow (I haven't worked out how as it doesn't apply to me) -

Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
OPTIONS="-r 1 -R 2 -T 5 --userpass=btcaddress.minername:f0=0;f1=0;f2=0;f3=0.046;f4=0.022;f5=0;f6=0.023;f7=0.123;c0=0;c1=0;c2=0;c3=0;c4=0;c5=0;c6=0;c7=0"
while :
do
    nice /home/hyacin/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.2c/minerd -a X11 $OPTIONS --url=stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:4336
    nice /home/hyacin/x13-CPUminer/minerd -a x13 $OPTIONS --url=stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:4337
    nice /home/hyacin/Bitblock-CPUminer/minerd -a bitblock $OPTIONS --url=stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:4339
    nice /home/hyacin/cpuminer-nist5/minerd -a nist5 $OPTIONS --url=stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:4340
done


It'll loop through all of them and all but the most profitable will produce an auth failure, retry once after 2 seconds, and then move on ... I've had it running beautifully for days and it algo switches perfectly with very little downtime while switching (~6 seconds at most)


I've been experimenting with something like that for cudaminer/ccminer (NVIDIA GPUs), thanks for sharing, I did it without -R so I think it waits 10 seconds or so.

I love the new Refill button, have you thought about adding a pause button?

I'm often mining a coin by difficulty and manually canceling the order and redoing the order when difficulty drops. A pause button would be AWESOME.  Grin

This will cause unstable price for renter . As it will spike up and down . Causing higher price from new bid offer higher then current . Sound great for miner but will also suffer when the aglo change and pool change

There must have been something interesting launched on X13 today, the price on that algo is running about double what it had been for the last few days.

Well hello there!
Since yesterday my SHA hashrate has been way down.  I thought it was my rig (S2) and started tweaking things, but when nothing fixed it I reverted to what I had and tried another pool (multipool.us) ... with the exact same settings I get ~1116 Gh/s on multipool, and about 976 Gh/s on Nicehash ... prior to yesterday I'd get ~1.1 Th/s on Nicehash with those settings ... not sure what's up ... anyone else experiencing anything similar?  Is it related to the DDOS?
I know there was a recent DDOS on nicehash but I'm currently showing ~750GH on sha256 and all appears well (for the moment anyway).  Profitability for sha256 kind of in the proverbial crappa for sha256 on nicehash atm though :/
