Topic: Ethos + electroneum or nicehash? (Read 3028 times)

This looks interesting, and nice work! But an almost 5%/day donation rate? Are you suggesting it will provide at least that much increase in income?

Here's a package I created to keep your rig mining the most profitable algorithm. The defaults uses NiceHash, I hope it helps. If you find any issues or want to request features please submit an issue on GitHub.

Happy Mining Guys

great thanks, just changing pool and wallet in local.conf is enough?

I don't see why it wouldn't, just change the miner settings.

I actually meant using EthOS/Claymore to mine ETN

Ethos? Yes, it comes with Claymore 9.8 as of version 1.2.7, but they JUST released an update so they may support 10 now (you can also manually install 10 on an earlier build, their website has instrux on how to).

does anyone know if it works with claymore?

Hi Guys

I have been playing around with settings in ethos and trying to get electroneum to mine. Here is what worked for me today 11/27/2017

maxgputemp 85
miner [worker] sgminer-gm-xmr
stratumproxy enabled
proxywallet [your wallet]
proxypool1 pool.electroneum.space:5555
proxypool2 pool.electroneum.space:5555
poolpass1 x
poolpass2 x
flags --cl-global-work 8192 --farm-recheck 200
globalfan 85

remove the brackets [] when adding your ethos worker name and your wallet. For the wallet, I used my offline public wallet.
the electroneum pools listed work for me.

Also do this:

Remove .worker from sgminer-gm-xmr.stub.conf for POOL1 and POOL2

{
    "pools": [{
        "url": "POOL1",
        "user": "WALLET.WORKER", (remove the .WORKER so it looks like) "user":"WALLET",
        "pass": "PASSWORD1"
    },
    {
        "url": "POOL2",
        "user": "WALLET",
        "pass": "PASSWORD2"

I hope this help, not sure about nicehash.

If you log into ethos and type "update" (no quotes), it will send the most current data to the web monitor page.

It takes a while for the stats on ETHOS to show on the main page. Also when you use 'show miner' in the terminal it also reports correctly. There was an issue with my miner (which may not be related as I use nVidia GPUs) on ETHOS 1.2.4 where I had to inject the flags in the ETHOS config in this manner:

globalminer ccminer
# for pool use:
stratumproxy enabled
# for Nicehash use:
# stratumproxy nicehash
ccminer-flags -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://[pool server]:[pool port] -u [ETN address]
# proxypool [pool server]:[pool port]
# proxywallet [ETN address]

This was because on Nicehash ccminer would report that it tried to connect to Niceash and then the connection was rejected and on other pools ccminer would report that the address used was invalid. Injecting the flags as above got around this issue albeit in a hacky kind of way.

I made some modifications to ETHOS 1.2.4 so I didn't want to lose them by upgrading to 1.2.5. I still have to add support for ccminer mods with better hashing performance. In the future I won't be using any proprietary software for hashing. EWBF is the only proprietary miner I have used and I'm still looking for an alternative for Equihash. For now though, ccminer appears to be hashing OK on CryptoNight. I may get better performance on CryptoNight by incorporating the ccminer mods but I'm in no rush.

it seems like it's working but ethos is not reporting the H/s? Not showing up in "show stats".
Now easyhash.io is only showing me that I mined "x minutes" ago... Nothing is changing.

Someone hasn't done their homework here. The pool offer a Miner page to mine directly from the browser without downloading and configuring any mining software. Simply providing an Electroneum address is supposed to pay any pool earnings to that wallet. You are most likely reacting to your anti-virus software alerts rather than responding to them appropriately.  If you look you'll see that the malware you speak of is not malware at all but just a miner that the site operators have provided for ease of use.

That explains a lot, actually. Any cause for concern for any systems other than Windows?

WARNING: Do not use the pool listed above. The URL contains malware.

Just go with the well known electroneum pools like easyhash.io, electroneum.fr, or even electroneum.hashparty.io.
You won't be finding any blocks anyway if the pool hashrate is so low.

Are you trying to mine a certain generic algorithm on Nicehash or use their variable miner? For the latter, there is only support for windows. The former varies based on algorithm; I use nicehash's cryptonight pool when my house gets too warm and I want to cool it down without shutting down my miners (obviously remove hashes; my cards are all Nvidia, so ccminer makes the most sense for cryptonight, ymmv):


You can also set globalmem higher and globalfan low (I do both) as cryptonight uses about half the electricity of my 1060s and 1070s. This is all I needed to set. The format is the same for other algorithms, just make sure you're using the correct miner/pool addresses.

As for Electroneum, make sure your miner/settings are for cryptonight as well, it's a cpu/lowend gpu aimed coin. Personally I am dubious of the coin/chain right now though. I ran my rigs on it for a while last night and the pool the last poster listed earned exactly .05. On suprnova I faired better, earning about 25 in a little under an hour, but reporting was super sketchy, and withdrawing didn't work. At all. My electroneum wallet still shows a zero balance half a day later. I gave up on it, at least until those coins show up in my wallet, but I like what I've read about the coin in general...

EDIT TO ADD: the #xnsub is crucial for Nicehash, they claim they will not payout without it, it is a verification thing (though I do get paid on my S3 even though the XNSUB instrux don't work for it; I don't see the hashrate but I do get credited for the work, so?). For gpus, though, I think it's mandatory. May also be why your rigs were showing up as zero.

 Just got this to work Electroneum

globalminer sgminer-gm-xmr
sgminer-gm-xmr=proxypool1 stratum+tcp://pool.electroneum.space:7777
sgminer-gm-xmr=proxypool2 stratum+tcp://pool.electroneum.space:7777
sgminer-gm-xmr=proxywallet your wallet here
sgminer-gm-xmr=poolpass1 x
sgminer-gm-xmr=poolpass2 x

Remove worker from sgminer-gm-xmr.stub.conf

{
    "pools": [{
        "url": "POOL1",
        "user": "WALLET",
        "pass": "PASSWORD1"
    },
    {
        "url": "POOL2",
        "user": "WALLET",
        "pass": "PASSWORD2"


sorry no idea on nicehash

what are you trying to do?

Both things are not working for me on EthOS.

I tried nicehash. The miner is showing up but the dashboard says "0" speed.

With electroneum (tried with sgminer-gm-xmr) it is also not working. I'll get a lot of: "invalid nonce HW error" on all GPUs randomly so EthOS is crashing.

Someone already set this up with working results? Is this even possible? Thanks!
