Can you help with setting sgminer ?

I have no problem running these cards manually, but want to properly use auto-switching...

ALL whats needed in case of cryptonight from NH is allowing -dmem 0 ... or some way to use older Claymore miner :S

USE EXTERNAL MINING MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE--

There are several, I don't use them. There are SGminer algo-switching configurations, but I believe that they are deprecated on NiceHash, and use the classic version of SGminer rather than SGminer-GM. The example scripts were available on the classic NiceHash website. Many of the algorithms within the examples have become ASIC-only, no longer profitable for GPU mining.

The AMD cards may be phased out of NHM and NHML. --scryptr

P.S. There is an example configuration script for CryptoNight using SGminer-GM posted less than a page back in this thread. --scryptr

Bug in 1.8.1.4
Tahiti (7950/7970/280/280x) cards can't be used with cryptonight
These cards have 3GB ram, by default your bench uses -h 896 -dmem 1 - which is >3GB
Can't set -dmem 0 - nothing happens if set as additional parameter

"Old" Claymore cryptonight doesn't work at all - no switch and obviously the program uses new "xpool" switches for 10.x

SUPPORT FOR 3GB CARDS DROPPED--

NiceHash has dropped support for 3GB (or less) GPUs in NHM and NHML. It is a feature, not a bug. The word was out in the Excavator thread.

I am using SGminer-GM 5.5.5-8, NiceHash version. My 280x and 380 (2GB) cards mine for weeks. --scryptr

I have a question maybe you can help I keep getting stratum disconnects from nicehash on sgminer mining xmr and its turning into a real pain I even tried to download and run nicehash miner still the same on all my rigs I noticed sgminer is using api port 4000 or 4001 I have those ports open for my pc running storj farming could this be interfering with sgminer I no Im not the only one having trouble just not sure if my trouble is this reason thanks for any input

DISCONNECTS ARE NOT MINER-SPECIFIC--

I have the same problem. Currently, I am mining CryptoNight with CPUminer-OPT, CPUminer-Multi, CCminer, and SGminer. All the miners disconnect every few minutes. The statistics on NiceHash are not consistent, either, as the miners are not connected long enough to obtain a good average. I also notice that the pool difficulty is set at 300 thousand, rather than 40 thousand or 80 thousand.

I am earning more this week than last, but the live stats are not reliable. NiceHash should comment. -scryptr

We have the same situation here, both CPU and GPU mining gets frequent disconnects and stratum interrupts. The miners reconnect quickly, but it's definitely not working quite right.

Hi Guys!

I'm having trouble with Nicehash and Ethos, all the shares are rejected. Is there something I can do about it? Or is mine config not right?
Can someone take a look at it and maybe make adjustments to get it right?

## Nicehash Cryptonight

sgminer-gm-xmr=proxypool1 cryptonight.eu.nicehash.com:3355
sgminer-gm-xmr=proxypool1 cryptonight.eu.nicehash.com:3355
sgminer-gm-xmr=proxywallet BTCWALLET.WORKER
sgminer-gm-xmr=poolpass1 x
sgminer-gm-xmr=poolpass2 x

PROXYWALLET MUST BE ONLY A BITCOIN ADDRESS--

And, in ethOS' "sgminer-gm-xmr.stub.conf", use something like this:

==========

{
   "pools": [{
   "url": "POOL1",
   "user": "WALLET.WORKER",
   "pass": "PASSWORD"
   },
   {
   "url": "POOL2",
   "user": "WALLET.WORKER",
   "pass": "PASSWORD"
   }],
   "profiles": [{
   "worksize": "8",
   "name": "xmr",
   "algorithm": "cryptonight",
   "gpu-threads": "1",
   "rawintensity": "1016"
   }],
   "no-extranonce": false,
   "default-profile": "xmr",
   "no-submit-stale": true,
   "api-listen": true,
   "api-port": 4028,
   "api-mcast-port": 4028,
   "api-allow": "W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.1.1/24",
   "temp-cutoff": "MAXTEMP",
   "temp-overheat": "MAXTEMP"
}

==========

Of course, do not include the cut lines. If you change "gpu-threads" to "2", reduce "raw intensity" to "508". If you have 2GB GPU cards, use values of "508" or "254" for "raw intensity", and for "gpu threads" use "1" or "2", correspondingly. Be sure to set "no submit stale" to "true", or you will get more stale share rejects. The "api allow" line is set up to allow any PC on my local net to access the miner. You can vary the "raw intensity" values slightly, but the code authors suggest remaining less than 256, 512, or 1024, respectively.

Variables in all caps, like "PASSWORD", will be read from ethOS' internals, or "local.conf" or "remote.conf" file. That is why you should only place a BitCoin address in your ethOS configuration.

You may also need to use "sgminer-gm-xmr 5.5.5-gm-nicehash-8" rather than the default "sgminer-gm-a" installed on the ethOS distribution. It is not too difficult to change out the default SGminer-GM, I have to do it each time that I upgrade ethOS. If you need detailed instructions, PM me, I'll help. The original SGminer-GM from the Genesis Mining GitHub site is not NiceHash compatible. NiceHash re-wrote the code, and has a compatible version on the NiceHash GitHub.

I have a miner running 48 days with SGminer-GM, and the last time it was down, I brought it down deliberately. It is mining on NiceHash. --scryptr

Hi,
Can we find that the seller who is mining at higher hashing power? If yes, then how to contact him to buy hashing power?

Now somebody buys Ethereum hashpower at 0.0100 BTC/GH/s while realistically you can only make 0.0078 considering the network hashrate. I also made quite a lot on NiceHash, but I used profitability factors I know, if hashpower buying price rose just 8% from what I was aiming at I would be losing money. It was mostly due to a good day. But buying at 0.0100 while you can make 0.0078 in a long run is not really reasonable. And this happens too often on NiceHash, so I have a good reason to think the game is rigged. Pool luck? But you can't predict how long it will take to mine a block.

And I see it far worse on X11 and Scrypt.. People paying like 2-3x what they could possibly profit, large orders lasting for days on end.

Indeed, the very best benchmark for REAL Scrypt and X11 profitability is https://prohashing.com/ since it mines dozens of large and small coins. You have to deduct 3% from this site's displayed profitability and that will be the break even price to buy hashpower on NiceHash.

It's hillarious to see somebody right now buying CryptoNight hashpower at 0.5000 BTC/MH/day while MiningPoolHub displays 0.2170 BTC/MH/day profitability for mining Monero.

Need help with direct mining of Nicehash pool(s) issue.

I downloaded Claymore Dual and wrote a .bat file that would connect my miner to the Nicehash Eth pool and the Nicehash Lbry pool. To be perfectly clear, I am NOT USING Nicehash Legacy miner nor am I using Nicehash 2.x miner. I am using Claymore's miner as a stand alone and pointing my rig at the Nicehash pools.

Here is my command line:

Code:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://daggerhashimoto.usa.nicehash.com:3353 -ewal my btc wallet address -epsw x -esm 3 -allpools 1 -estale 0 -dpool stratum+tcp://lbry.usa.nicehash.com:3356 -dwal my btc wallet address

Please note my btc wallet address is a Nicehash btc wallet.

Problem: When I run this and the command window pops up, it shows the second pool as being a decred pool, and, the hashrate indicates a decred hashrate, not an Lbry hashrate. What gives? I didn't run it long enough to see if shares were actually generated because I'm not interested in decred, and I'm pretty sure it's NOT mining Lbry, based on what I see. This happens on both of my rigs.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

You probably never bought hashpower on NiceHash and do not understand its profitability factors. You have to buy at about 3% less than what pool pays you to mine CryptoNight just to break even. In reality you have to buy at even less rate if you want to have profit. I doubt anyone can dump 1 bitcoin everyday just for fun of it, and that's only on CryptoNight. I really hope it's not a rigged game and someone really had to scratch their heads fixing robots went out of control.

Take a look at ckpool.org solo pool on here there are ppl renting 500t or 600t or even more trying to hit a btc block there are btc ltc and other pools setup just for solo mining would I put $5000 to hope to hit a block no but if you do thats 12.5X6000 so that original $5000 doesn't sound like a lot and nicehash will never tell anyone where other ppl are mining at also just because whattomine says x coin is the most profitable thats bullshit if you no how to do the math you'll find more profitable coins to mine also if you throw a bunch of hash at x coin because the difficulty is down that coin may not be profitable to mine but 3 weeks from now when it gets pumped you cash out

edit: yes I have rented hash from nicehash but not to pool mine I solo mined a bunch of peercoin and made more than I paid at a fixed price

And I see it far worse on X11 and Scrypt.. People paying like 2-3x what they could possibly profit, large orders lasting for days on end.

You are totally correct, I see this on CryptoNight. Someone pays 10% more than Monero can give when mining on a usual pool. This is either a rigged game from NiceHash or a huge robot mistake, someone simply loses money. There are no coins more profitable than Monero, so if you see on WhatToMine.com that NiceHash pays more, the game is either rigged or someone loses money big time.

A clarification from NiceHash would be useful.

I don't think this is rigged I believe some people are willing to pay more just for the fun of mining ya they can go buy coins from a exchange for less but that removes the mining part I have my own rigs and have been mining for 4 yrs now and I really do this as a hobby not for profit so even if my power where to be more than I make I would still mine

Hey there,

I am having trouble maintaining profitability across Scrypt and X11 to bid high enough to get consistent hashing power, and the fixed prices are always above profitability.

What are the people mining who are paying these prices? Some are buying massive amounts at twice the rate I can. I'd like to be a part of the competitive market, but I've tried exhaustively and I can't find what coins, pools or technology is needed to bid at those higher levels.

Please advise.

Thank you,

CA

The problem is you see people running at speeds that would cost them $10-$20k daily at profitability levels that are burning through 50% of their principal or more.

I've asked Nicehash to tell me where these people are sending their hashing power.

Usually only the bottom 20% of the market might be profitable. The rest of it can't be people throwing away 10s of thousands of dollars away every day for the fun of it, especially not the guys who are losing this much on single orders.
