I've been mining with Nicehash for a while now using Eligius. Eligius don't give miners the option to set difficulty but this has never been a problem until now. Suddenly my orders have all crapped out because it says the difficulty is 127.9980. 0.002 short of the minimum. Why is this? Something sounds a bit fishy? Is there an issues between Eligius & Nicehash???

EMail Nicehash/Westhash. I agree it is a bit coincidental that after I posted my message about the odd payouts that suddenly Westhash doesn't work.

We've suggested before that Eligius up the minimum starting difficulty past 128, but Wiz doesn't seem to be interested in doing so.

The bot is back working as normal again. Looks like it restarted overnight. Must have been a glitch.

I think Westhash fixed it. It no longer says 128 is the min difficulty, it says 127 is.

IMO any miner that needs a diif. 256 or less is ready for paper weight future. I also remember reading i previous way way back pages of this forum that Eligius has a lot of cpu and gpu miners i am not sure if that is true today or not

Maybe it's time for pools to set minimum difficulty above 128. What with the minimum realistically needed to mine. What do you think?

Strange. Nicehash is connecting, then disconnecting all on difficulty 127.9980. Defiantly something playing up.

I have used it in the past and it verified and work correctly,jsut went and reverify and received the diff to low message Huh

I think some of the Eligius servers serve out slightly less than 128 difficulty.

Just skip the verification part and use it.

M

The problem is that the contract is marked as "dead" because of that.

Maybe Eligius should round the difficulty setup to the nearest integer ?

Have you tried using the bot? I've never actually created an order for Eligius directly on the nicehash site.

Funny, the site appears down and now Nicehash is giving me the "Difficulty too low" message. Jinx!!!

It's actually exactly 128, but stratum defines difficulty with a rounding error, so we have to adjust for that or else your miner might not submit some (tiny % of) valid shares.

Recently I decided to rent a very large amount of hashpower from westhash, since prices are < the cost to mine. I let it run full blast, as much as it can pour into Eligius, all pointed at a new address I never used before. Minimum hash rate is about 500 TH/s, I think peaking at 750 TH/s every so often. At that speed, my little order goes very fast, in a few hours or less.

Could you elaborate on how you managed to have Nicehash pointed at Eligius ?
Currently, their "verificator" refuses this because of the following :

Quote

Received mining.set_difficulty... Pool difficulty too low (provided=127.998046875, minimum=128.0)

Nothing complicated. Just pointed Nicehash to it...

Sometimes it doesn't like the slight less than 128 difficulty, but in most cases it works.

I've got mine pointed at Eligius. I only have 10TH in my order as I've noticed that once it's stopped mining the reward takes a bit of a dip. Therefore I want to keep it mining Eligius.

I use the Nicehash bot. Not had any problems and if the wallet runs out of funds the bot resumes mining automatically as soon as a deposit is confirmed.
