There are some decent paying Scrypt-A-Nfactor orders ... if you have Scrypt-A-Nfactor you can get some good payouts, check here: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?a=2 and point your miner to stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3335

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.

Please test following miners and confirm whether they are working with NiceHash and other pools without any issues:

Source sgminer:
git clone https://github.com/bitbandi/sgminer

Binaries sgminer:

Source modded cgminer 3.7.2:

Sgminer on windows is still crashing on startup

Cgminer seems to be working fine, but giving me 20% less hashrate power than what my graphic card can provide.

Nicehash is back working, but now getting mostly
"Stratum from stratum.nicehash.com requested work restart"

at least before we got switched to failover pool


i had the same issue. i inserted a diff factor into my config just now. it resolved it.

"-p p=4.2;d=256"

ty sir.

This is a bit off topic....but related as to why Nice Hash is trying to help us get the best we can out of ours rigs.

I started with cgminer but quickly learned about sgminer after reading the FAQs. Getting my config file right made it even better. My GPUs run cooler and get a better hash rate.

It seems that buyers are comfortable too... and are willing to pay a better price as it seems to be climbing. This is more stable than renting my rig (i think).
We need more miners to meet the demand for orders so that buyers keep getting their orders filled and feel good about placing future orders. Might not be a bad idea if we spread the word.

As far as multipool comparisons, I check this site often:    http://poolpicker.eu/

The graph is great. Scrolling to the table at the bottom gives a good set of numbers. NiceHash holds up well.




One thing that's obvious right away in poolpicker numbers is that it doesn't account for downtime. Nicehash was down for hours on Tuesday (or was it Wednesday?) and it is not reflected on poolpicker numbers. Not sure how they do that with other pools but this doesn't seem like an apples-to-apples comparison.

Check you reject percentage. Also make sure you are not just looking at the 5 min hashrate because that may have a huge variance. Look at the "Round accepted speed MH/s" and also look at the chart.


I was looking at my Round Accepted speed.  According to BAMT, my reject % is 2.1%, which I'm fairly happy with.  I guess I'll just keep monitoring what my miners are saying compared to NH, and if I can't get something acceptable, I'll move on.

Thanks.

"Round accepted" may have been low when nicehash had some periods of downtime recently - DDOS attacks and whatnot - please keep that in mind. Check if your rig switched to a backup pool at any point during the period you were looking at.

Unfortunately, we are constantly being attack with various forms of attacks. Today, someone decided to spam the service with many orders - even though, he had to pay fee for that. Someone is really investing large quantities of resources to try to harm NiceHash.

I think you put a limit to one order by minutes or two minutes with 10 or 20 orders maximum by hour to limit spamming.

Work restart is nothing abnormal - looks like one of customers pool is switching work fast. It may influence your shares being stale, but NiceHash will treat your stale share accepted even when it is too late (for up to 800 msec).


nicehashdev,


Two part question.

1. As i am mining with GPU's, which factor should be the most important to me?:

 a). Round accepted speed MH/s?

or

 b.) Round accepted GH ?

2. If the answer is a, should the MHS be equal to what my miner shows in the list?  Currently, it is a .200 MHS lower.

Each round lasts 6 hours. From one mass payment to another. If you have your miner hooked to NiceHash from one payment to another, then looking at round speed might be better - it is less jumpy. But if you come in in the middle, then round speed will not be correct until at least one payment is made.

Not only that but I did a little math and you only gain something like 260$ a month, this might cover the technological costs but what about the development time and support? What are your future expectations and plans?

Do you get any rejects? Where are you from? Do you submit stale shares? What about if you use other miner - as ATCkit suggested?
