Well I am not sure where all the figures come from but I tried a side by side NiceHash vs Clevermining comparison
Date May 21st to May 22nd full 24hrs on both with 50,000 kh/s scrypt on each pool.
Here was my results NiceHash 47.2 mh/s scored me only .11618195 BTC plus 975 doge from a backup pool.
CleaverMining 46.76 mh/s scored me .13008909 BTC
If anyone has any ideas on how to make my kh/s more profitable let me know. Grin

You aren't even making it clear whether you were buying or selling.

What happens if you use another BTC address?

For the past 2 days, when I check my miner statistics, it says no data. I know the statistics page was interrupted by the DDos attacks, but will the page be restored soon? When I check the miner list, there are payable accounts with stats, but my account is not on the list. My miners have been running consistently for the last week. Do I need to restart to get back on the list or will the page be restored on its own?

you are not alone i get no data on
https://nicehash.com/?p=miners&a=0&addr=1CJd2U1uF7N9jUfSzuibDAXfTDNSssQw4W

guess there is always the super stable wafflepool

Make sure you typed BTC address correctly in your username, we get a lot of incorrect BTC addresses and of course, we can't send BTCs on because BTC addresses are invalid. After that, make sure you are mining for correct algorithm and viewing for that algorithm.

The stats should appear online after about 10min since your activity started (accpted share).

I have my statistics link saved in my browser so I can quickly check my stats and payments. The link has been working for the past 2 weeks. Suddenly 2 days ago I get a No data message, exactly as shown in the link bexwhitt provided. I know the BTC payment address is correct because the link has always worked and I've been paid with the BTC address up until yesterday. So the question is, if my miners are using the same address with accepted WUs, why are there no stats available? Are you sure you have completely solved the stats problem from the DDoS? If you think it would help, I could restart the miners to see if that helps restart the stats page.

somebody should explain how pools becoming "dead" also.

If the order was alive at one point and then going dead, there are following reasons why this could happen:
- pool dropped connection with NiceHash due to inactivity - many pools will drop stratum connection after about 5 minutes if there are no shares being sent - this is the most likely cause - order will be alive after 2 minutes again
- pool is unstable - sometimes you can see massive number of res orders and everytime we check what is going on, we find out that all these orders use same pool and that pool is at that time dead
- pool lowered difficulty below minimal - not sure if any pool does that, but if the pool does lower difficulty too much, NiceHash will drop connection to it to prevent possible DDOS attack issued from pools side and produced by legit miners (yes, this has been already tried on NiceHash, so we implemented this protection)

i've finally made my x11 rig working now but I get alot of restarts is this normal? Also WU is ok? 4x280x rig.

Your WU is good, don't worry about the restarts.

When mining X11 you can set higher gpu engine and achieve better hashrate. In scrypt my 280x has 1055 gpuengine, but with X11 I can put it to 1160, so try it out to where your cards can go.

Communication or not, this whole DDOS thing need to be solved for nicehash to remain viable. It's been announced many times that "this won't happen again" etc etc but I don't know of any other pool or rental service that would have this kind of issue going on for weeks on end. If there is something fundamentally wrong with the technologies being used, or the business model, or the hosting provider, it needs to be addressed. Nicehash already requires some extra effort on top of what you need for ordinary multipools - special miner versions, monitoring for idle miners - so one would expect it to be at least as stable, and at least a little bit more profitable that said multipools, neither of which is the case right now. That's just the provider's point of view. I can see that there are renter-specific issues too - if the site is down they lose all control over their orders, which is probably even worse that what providers experience.

Hmm, I don't recall saying "this won't happen again", I'm actually not that brave Wink

. Attackers are always one step ahead and we, service providers have to constantly improve our services for our customers to be satisfied. Keep in mind that NiceHash is not like ordinary multipool. We are exposed in two ends - at stratum server and at web frontends (because of two-ways users interaction). Also, our service is still novel and obviously some features need to mature to make them rigorous enough. Our motto is to provide easy service for providers with the ability to use one service for multi-algorithm mining and at the same time easy service for buyers to get hashing power on pay-as-you-go basis - and we'll keep it this way. Thanks for your support!

Hi. As you've noticed, we had issues with DDoS attacks in the past 24h ours. DDoS was targeting our web front-end servers. Attackers were smart enough to bypass CloudFlare protection and were exploiting some in-application weakness. We have successfully repulsed the attack and hardened security for our web front-end servers. No funds were lost, mining on stratum servers continued as usual. Payments were delayed for about half a day. We do apologize for the inconvenience - to the buyers for not being able to edit or submit orders and to providers for the lack of information on the situation.

Thank you all for understanding and thank you all for using NiceHash. We will continue to improve security and performance of our stratum servers as well as adding new features in the near future!

We all wish you nice hashing! Wink

I've been happy being a provider on NiceHash. Yes they had a DDOS problem but to be honest the OP was probably frantically trying to get it fixed rather than not being communicative because he was being shady. Nothing has been lost and signing up with them to provide or buy was a breeze (in fact to be a provider no reg was needed).

Coin prices going up.. Mining profits dropping like a rock? Huh

I think the key part you left out is that bitcoins prices going up, but not other types of coins in relation to bitcoins. This is why btc/mh/s is dropping because all the alt coin prices going down, except x11 and sha256.

But with sha256, you have to pay in btc to buy btc hashing power essentially, so that's not going to go up or down either.

And for x11, DRK difficulty rising so fast that hasing becomes less profitable too.

So this is the reason that all prices are dropping.

I think NiceHash should do a promo that lowers the orderings fees and eliminate the 2% fees for buyers and sellers for this outtage. I think our workers were working at below-market rate for QUITE A WHILE and i had to spent money canceling my orders even though they already started.

I got the hell out of here yesterday when OP was not providing us much info.. Still out of here..

On an other related note:

What has happened with all the low Payments? Both here and other pools.. It was like 0.0033 Per 1MHs per day and then all the freaking suddend its now like 0.0026 per 1 MH's

Was there a HUGE increase in difficulty in LTC? Huh

LTC difficulty is likely to decrease a little bit in a couple of days, and the last increase wasn't huge either. However its exchange rate with BTC has dropped significantly, and there don't seem to be any new pumpcoins so Scrypt profitability is sliding down. Considering the recent ~20% rise in BTC/fiat rate it's not that bad though.

That's just great. The second my deposit confirms:

"NiceHash web frontend is currently down for maintenance.
We expect to be back in a couple hours. Thanks for your patience.

Stratum servers are not affected and are running as usual. "
