When you get me a JSON API I'll see if I can give you a Windows app that will control the miners and restart them with the proper algorithm.  I'll bet I can talk the PiMP team into supporting the same for Linux!

Hi!! We are having a problem with our G Blade Gridseeds

Sometimes our hashrate go to 0 and we have to reconect the USB. This happens once or twice per day...

Someone with same problem? Any solution??

Thanks!

Take the rates displayed in the "Currently Paying" column and do this:

and this means what? can't figure this chart.

That would be for sellers, only with GPUs though.

This would be for Buyers of Hashing not Sellers of Hashing correct?

hellow,

i need some help about mining x11 .
i have pimp linux .
http://getpimp.org/info/supported-algorithms.html

and i want to mine x11 coins and i don`t know what i must do for that .

thank you !

We have plans to create first multi-algo switching ports on NiceHash, so your miner would automatically mine Scrypt, nFactor or X11, depending which one is more profitable. The only issue for now is that there is no united miner supporting all algorithms with ability to define algorithm per pool. Once this is solved, NiceHash will support this feature and you won't have to look at tables and adjusting your miners anymore.

For a quick comparison I found this to work reasonably well with AMD GPUs:

Multiply Scrypt rate by 2
Multiply X11 rate by 6
Now compare both with Scrypt-N
Whichever is highest mine that

Can be done at a glance without a calculator, doesn't have to be accurate - you can see right away that now for example scrypt times two is ~6, X11 times six is ~13, and Scrypt-N is ~9

is not hard to do the math in your head and just switch your miner as necessary , that's what i do , sometimes scrypt-n is more profitable, but lately its between scrypt and x11.

Here is what you have to consider:

1. You need to "baseline" your hashrates on your cards, mining each different Algorithm.
2. Using these baselines (e.g. Scrypt: 3.2MH/sec, X11: 9.2MH/sec, etc.) you then need to calculate against the numbers on the home page.
3. For example:
  - Scrypt: 3.2 MH/sec = 0.0032 GH/sec * 3.2698 BTC/GH/Day = 0.0104 BTC/Day
  - X11: 9.2 MH/sec = 0.0092 GH/sec * 2.3073  BTC/GH/Day = 0.0212 BTC/Day

So at the moment, mining X11 is far more profitable ...

This is why I want the JSON API to retrieve the values and automate the calculations throughout the day.  Then I need to control and relaunch my miner - pretty easy to do - altering the conf file to switch Algorithms based on these calculations.

You mean like this on the front page?

Is there any info for profitability between scrypt, scrypt-n and x11?

On todo list.

Is there a JSON API for the stats on the home page?

I want to be able to fetch the Statistics table of the four Algorithm pools without having to scrape the page?

I'm working on a way to autoswitch my miner between configs, to switch from Scrypt to X11 and back based on calculated profitability with my hash rates.

I hate to say it but Micro Center is selling the rPI for $30 and you'd probably be better off. I have one for SHA and one for Scrypt and they use barely any power at all whereas the PC that was controlling them before used 100-200 watts versus 3 to 5 watts for each of the Pi's. Where I live each paid for themselves in about a month. Such savings. Very efficiency.

Now, that doesn't answer your question - there ought to be a CGminer that works for nicehash, and it's frustrating that the links provided don't work.

I know cpuminer works, I'm using it now, but I need cgminer for one specific project. I have a PC with other cgminer-controlled hardware on it, and cgminer doesn't play nice with cdc_acm driver needed for bfgminer/cpuminer. So I either need to run cgminer for all USB devices including gridseeds, or fiddle around with rmmod/modprobe on every boot to load cdc_acm for bfgminer/cpuminer at the right time. Looks like fiddling it is for now.

Sandor's cpuminer-gc3355 works great with the gridseeds and clevermining.

If you have a raspberry pi, Minera is a web interface that works flawlessly (for me) with gridseed 5-chips and nicehash.

Only have been using nicehash for a few days but so far so good.


The only thing I've had trouble with is setting minimal price and diff in the same password field. But maybe I have the syntax wrong.

I'm confused about this whole extranonce thing now. Do you have a working cgminer version for Gridseed? I tried compiler jmordica's version that you linked to on your software page, it does not submit any shares. I tried the precompiled binary downloaded from your software page and it only does "Share above target". So is there a working one or not?

Hello,

I wanted to say there is still an issue with NiceHash and cgminer.  I'm still trying to narrow down the specifics, but here is what I am seeing from my side:

1. I have two identical AntMiner S1, both running the updated cgminer (Kanoi builds) v4.3.2a
  - https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS1

2. I have both configured with pools identically - the primary pool is set to:
 - stratum.nicehash.com:3334
 - {my address}
 - p=0.065;d=128

3. I have secondary and tertiary pools defined - Eligius and GHash.io

4. Today, when the contract ran that was 0.08 they both switched to NiceHash properly.

5. When the contract completed, and then next was 0.06, both AntMiners went to the second pool - Eligius - as they should have.

6. About an hour ago, you had a contract for 0.07 show up ... and I noticed it showed as Alive and Dead ... on and off.  Both AntMiners mined, and fell back, several times ... but then one fell back to Eligius and the second hung mining nothing.

7. You home page showed the 0.07 contract dead ... that AntMiner still showed the pool alive.  It was mining nothing for 4-5 minutes ... and then I restarted it.  Once I did that the pool showed dead ... like your home page did.

I've checked the code in Github, and the Kanoi builds for the AntMiner have the same fix as ckolivas for the idle bug:

https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/master/NEWS#L25


Would you expect that when you have a bad contract/pool that I would see the miner hang for that long?

===================================================================================

I'm adding this about an hour later ... same thing just happened to my OTHER AntMiner ... I noticed it was stopped mining on both pools!!  NiceHash as the first priority was showing as ALIVE in cgminer ... even with my threshold of 0.065 ... with no contracts visible.

Why?

I had to restart the miner ... and NiceHash went to "DEAD" ... now it's working again.
