Job offering posted, if you are interesting. 1 BTC for 1 day of work: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=580718.new#new

Yeah, I'm not your man on that. I wouldn't get out of bed for 1 BTC these days. But if I do find the problem I'll send it to you for free, as I am close. I like the subscribe.extranonce1 protocol extension.

There is a *new* and *different* bug that is impacting cgminer v3.4.2a+ and NiceHash ... I'm experiencing it on numerous boxes, and am trying to find a fix. This is *NOT* the "idle bug" or it is not completely fixed in cgminer.

I'm mining SHA and when running using the "price" option in the password - p=0.07 - and letting it run for long periods of time, suddenly the NiceHash pool will appear in the miner as "Alive" ... but the pool is not passing any work, and the threshold has NOT been hit! There are NO contracts for 0.07 ...

This is now easily reproducible on more than one box, and they are running the latest cgminer that does contain the "idle bug" fix.

I am trying now to debug the protocol, and determine exactly *WHY* cgminer would believe - when sending the miner.subscribe and miner.authorize requests - believe that the pool is alive.

When this happens my miners are sitting idle - believing they are connected to an active pool, but not being given any work. Today I have lost hours of mining when I have come back to check the status of my miners and found them in this state.

I have reached out to NiceHash, ckolivas and kano for assistance, but any other assistance in debugging the protocol or cgminer would be appreciated. Until I can know exactly how NiceHash is handling the protocol requests, it is very difficult to debug cgminer to see what is going on.

This is because nicehash never addressed the true cause of the original "idle bug", but only applied a hacky fix to eliminate one of its symptoms. I had offered them the real solution to the problem quite some time ago but they declined. And I would bet this this problem is happening to many more of their miners, but you're just one who noticed it and decided to stay and investigate rather than simply taking your hashpower elsewhere.

Everyone pointing their miners at nicehash should keep a very close watch on them to ensure that they are not unexpectedly going idle.

Hey guys, I'm using this setting to sgminer for nicehash

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
. \ sgminer \ sgminer-k-o darkcoin stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3336 username.workername-u-p password-I 18-g-w 128 4

I want to know if it's good or i must change something. Thanks

It doesn't look right. Should be something like this:

Code:

sgminer -k darkcoin -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3336 -u btc_address -p x -I 18 -w 128 -g 4

Although -g 4 looks too high to me.

Yep, that had changed (about g4). On the command line, it had not changed. I'll try that. Thank you so much

Guys, why are there so many work restart requests? I get 2 minutes worth of restarts in between accepts? This is on scrypt, and it works fine on other pools. Any ideas?

I would like to know this as well.

Maybe you could try to use this stratum-proxy as a workaround (https://github.com/Stratehm/stratum-proxy/releases). I am using it for scrypt and X11 but it should work for sha-256. It works fine with the p= and d= option of nicehash.

With the DEBUG log level, you could also use it to check the stratum requests/responses of the pool and the workers.

So in the FAQ's it states that the fee for using the service is 2% yet I was deducted 2.49 percent for opening an order.

http://imgur.com/baoDBOg

Is my math wrong? Explanation?

You forgot to take into account the small order submission fee of 0.0005 BTC (explained here: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=faq#faqb0)

Let's go through an example of 1 BTC worth order:

Date UTC TXID Address Amount BTC Confirmations
2014-04-20 14:30:01 Comment: Fee order #xxx - 0.02049
2014-04-20 14:30:00 Comment: Payment order #xxx - 0.97951

The first line displays sum of all fees (one-time order-submit fee and 2% service fee)
The second line displays amount that was used to pay for your shares.

So the total amount of your order is SUM from these two lines.

1 - 0.0005 one-time order-submit fee = 0.9995 (amount after order submission)
0.9995 - 2% service fee (0.01999) = 0.97951 (payed for your shares)
0.0005 + 0.01999 = 0.02049 (total fees)

I hope this clarifies your case.

Thank you for using NiceHash!

Thankyou for the explanation. Although I would recommend this 'one time order fee' be put under the 'fees' section. Not buried in 'How to buy'
Thanks

You will have a lot more success if you ask in PIMP thread - assuming you read the relevant howtos/faqs/etc and couldn't get it work with reasonable effort.

This is not a nicehash issue.
