We advice you to use multi-algorithm configuration (if you're using latest sgminer)
"pools" : [
{
"name" : "NiceHash Scrypt-A.-Nfactor",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3335",
"user" : "myBTCaddress",
"algorithm" : "nscrypt",
"nfactor" : "11"
},
{
"name" : "NiceHash Scrypt",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3333",
"user" : "myBTCaddress",
},
{
"name" : "mybackuppool",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://mybackuppool",
"user" : "myBTCaddress",
"pass" : "x"
}
]
,
"kernel" : "zuikkis",
... etc ...
I have added my info to the conf file but i get errors when loading
partial JSON error in conf file
conf file could not be used
need to specify at least one pool server
Make sure you have commas where there needs to be and no commas where there doesn't need to be. Also, same with the brackets. I get that message when I've messed up those.
thanks but i dont know how to do that. i want to setup for Nscrypt but if i change my port to 3335 i get share is above target. i followed the faq on the nicehash website. it works fine in scrypt mode with this bat with no conf file.

You need to specify the algorithm adaptive-n-factor and nfactor 11 arguments to the configurations. I'm not sure how exactly it is done on the command line. Documentation is horrible. Also, I don't know how to set up mixed algorithms on the command line. Otherwise both pools may end up doing nfactor 11 and then wafflepool is gonna get messed up. As far as I know mixed algos can only be done using the conf file so you can specify per pool only.
Make sure you are using the version of sgminer that supports adaptive-n-factor AND mixed algos. Only the latest versions starting with version 4.1.271 can do that.
