any idea ?

could I get some help with nicehashminer.

my rig us running R9 290 cards (2) wind10 ssd 78gbram

Firstly benchmark doesnt work, just makes the machine hang. So i skip this and mine. one card is mining fine on zecminer the other card just keeps opening another window for sgminer closes it then open again.

the log says

[2017-02-28 11:41:17] [INFO] [ClaymoreZcashMiner-MINER_ID(1)-DEVICE_IDs(1)] [pid(6464)|bin(bin_3rdparty\claymore_zcash\ZecMiner64.exe)] Starting cooldown checker

any help appreciated!

Europe - NiceHash typically has more orders/miners for equihash. If one was to set their server location to Europe will they receive different orders than those that choose the USA server?

i dont know if it helps anyone, but i still had the previous version of nicehash v1.7.5.0 zipped in my downloads folder.
so i took SG miner from there and copied it in to the v1.7.5.1 bin folder and now its working for daggerhashimoto, it is 1MH/s slower than ethminer was but theres plenty of time to play around with it and try to increase that

Yes, this is well known issue of ethminer - it does not work with recent AMD drivers. Nobody solved this issue, the coder working on it abandoned this project: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ethminer-0941-genoil-11-1368785

That is why we put sgminer-gm in, as it does not have this bug. We are aware that there is an issue with latest version of benchmark never completing. Will be fixed in new version when it is released.

i appreciate what you are saying but the miner is quite clearly doing something as you can see from this screenshot..




its funny because when equihash or cyrptonight become most profitable the balance does go up and all is good, it's took me 3 days to realise i havnt been getting paid for any mining whilst its switched to daggerhashimoto.
and for the record ive seen 2 other recent complaints on the github. https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/issues/678

as for the advice of using sgminer in the benchmark, i tried that and it just doesnt do anything, it literally doesnt even get the card hot like its not even trying to benchmark. so out of curiosity i tried the previous version of nicehash and it works fine albeit a bit slower than the ethminer hash rates.

The true balance and hashing speed is ALWAYS what website shows. If there is 0, then you have 0.

Ok I'll give that a try, could you explain what's happening to the payments for the work I have been doing up to now in ethminer then? Because it quite clearly says in nicehash that I'm earning and hashing away

Check which miner are you using for DaggerHashimoto in your NiceHash Miner benchmark config settings. We suggest you to use sgminer-gm.

hi, can anyone explain why i dont see any stats for daggerhashimoto under the my miner tab?
its mining away in nicehash miner telling me i'm earning 0.74mBTC/day  0.88 USD/DAY but the balance is stuck at the last amount it mined with equihash so i'm concerned i'm either doing something wrong to mine with ethminer or its not reporting to the site properly??

Thank you for the detailed response NiceHash. Really appreciate it

edit: tried lbry and pascal. lbry worked and show accepted results but not with pascal. When lbry was the dual coin it wasn't generating much on the accepted. Mining purely from nicehash is more profitable as of now

You must specify the second coin/algorithm with "-dcoin", from EthDcrMiner64.exe manual:

-dcoin   select second coin to mine in dual mode. Possible options are "-dcoin dcr", "-dcoin sc", "-dcoin lbc", "-dcoin pasc". Default value is "dcr".

Therefore a complete command line to start Ethereum+Lbry would be:


You might also try Ethereum+Pascal mode (you have to use latest v8.0 EthDcrMiner64.exe miner):



Best regards,
NiceHash team.

Update on issue I posted
"Does equihash have any limitations with multiple gpus on the same motherboard?
My rig of 4 1070's can only run equihash on 3 while the 4th can mine anything other than equihash at the same time"


After trial and error I manually selected GPU that would only mine zcash individually instead of with the other 3 cards and performed the benchmark, and then let it mine by it self. I then enabled all 4 cards with zcash it's working great. Hope it helps someone

Thank you Jox

I'm wanting to use claymore dual with nicehash and lbry instead of decred

Example from nicehash site with decred:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com:3353 -ewal YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS -epsw x -esm 3 -allpools 1 -estale 0 -dpool stratum+tcp://decred.eu.nicehash.com:3354 -dwal YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS

What would lbry's syntax be? I tried the following but lbry was not being reported as mined even though i'd receive new jobs.
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://daggerhashimoto.eu.nicehash.com:3353 -ewal YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS -epsw x -esm 3 -allpools 1 -estale 0 -dpool stratum+tcp://lbry.usa.nicehash.com:3356 -dwal YOUR_BTC_ADDRESS


Thanks in advance

It is still not confirmed for a 4 hours

"Equihash total hashing has been steadily increasing. At the same time the general buying prices for Equihash algorithm are lowering."

Could you explain how the buying prices are lowering with the influx of equihash orders?

Is there a way to let the miner use all available threads and cores? I have a i7 6700K (4C/8T) at 4.5Ghz, but only 2 threads are being used. Same with my i5 6300HQ (4C/4T) and a Kaby Lake Pentium (2C/4T)...
If the thing uses all cores it would at least triple my output

Also, is there a way to increase GPU intensity? I just want maximum output. 

Where we can ask questions and get answers. My questions and many others continue to go unnoticed and unanswered.

See above...since v1.7.5.1 NHM will only use 1 CPU core for me. Try reverting to previous version, I can then set number of cores correctly.
