In nicehash I do not understand how to be paid in altcoins and not Bitcoin directly

I haven't used nice hash in months, but since i remember you cannot

Nicehash is better, more reliable and payout in BTC.

Anybody mining Equi on Nicehash and getting an insane amount of New Jobs?

I am getting so many it's causing much more rejects than anywhere else

Also no static difficulty for Equihash?

Can we use at the same time both software to mine?
I suppose the answer is yes...

But what about the CPU power?
Both of them can share the same CPU?
Can we succeed merging mining?

Why would you want to run both software at the same time ? Better for efficiency to run one or another. Sharing your cpu will result on less efficiency than using it only with one app. The app will max out your CPU usage to 100%, so the power used will be your max cpu power.

Thanks!

I used Minergate for a little while when I had my old laptop and I personally just didn't like the whole process and even though everything on the design was sleek I just didn't feel as if I would rather have a sleek design than more money in my pocket. Would rather recommend using nicehash due to the easy conversions and the really simple mining it allows.


Good luck!

I tried MinersGate.

 Once.

 Never could get it to work at all.


 I have issues with the NiceHash software but at least it DOES work.

Looks like to mine Monero on NiceHash you need an appart software provided by them:

Source:

https://github.com/nicehash/Specifications/blob/master/NiceHash_CryptoNight_modification_v1.0.txt

I dont know what a hell that mean: "....II. Concept
-----------

Because there is no no extranonce1 and extranonce2, for NiceHash to
properly work with CryptoNight, we need to cut off 1 byte of nonce for
NiceHash, the rest - 3 bytes are for miners.

Iterating through 3 bytes gives 256 * 256 * 256 ~ 16M possibilities. If a
coin has 120 seconds block time, that gives us 16M / 120 = 140k/s, which
means that a single miner can be as fast as 140 kH/s before things go
wrong (miner starts making duplicate work). Since CryptoNight algorithm is
very slow and best miners reach around 1 kH/s at max, it is safe to cut
off 1 byte of iteration for NiceHash.

Unfortunately, currently available mining software is not adjusted for
this modification. It is a simple modification, but has to be performed,
else miners would get shares above target.  "





This happens only if you use third part miners on their pool. Their software on their pool can be use out of the box.
This is the main reason why people use nicehash..

I liked using nicehash with ZEC, no conv. fees and seeing my BTC filling is just nice  Cool
After ETH PoS I might rejump back to it, but it will be with Dash or Monero I think.

Minergate has a nice GUI, that helps newbies in their first days at mining.
But it's less profitable, less transparent than nice hash.
This send is an authority in the alt-coin mining field.

i think the result of hashrate will be different if i install vga cards, with only low budget vga cards, it coud make the hashrate increase to. so, my advice, when you want to run with both software, trying to use low budget vga cards, and don't use your pc or laptop, because it could be hot and its not good.

Any updates on this topic?

as regards the forum, it seems like NiceHash has some continuity

NiceHash Miner

on the other side, MinerGate support is missing in action with many complaints unanswered

Shall we move to Nicehash?

i only use nicehash because it easy to use and it will be converted right away to btc unlike minergate you need to set up by yourself, and the earnings from nicehash is completely acceptable.

Just to be clear, at Nicehash you don't mine coins you mine contracts and are paid directly in BTC for your
hash. There is no coin exchange, orphans or luck involved. On the other hand there is no opportunity to
receive any other currency except BTC.

Conversely if you're buying hash you pay in BTC regardless of the coin you want to mine with that hash.



yes u'r right..

Thanks for that clarification Joblo!  I have been using MinerGate on my 2-3 PCs for about 2 weeks now and really like it because of the ease of use. I'm having trouble getting it to recognize my old NVidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti, which i will need to get resolved before investing in a GPU mining rig, but I have a note in to their support so...
 if
My main plans are to mine for XMR and Ether... probably holding the majority of what I mine (esp for XMR) so if I understand you right, Nicehash would really no be a good option for me to try since it automatically converts/pays out it BTC, correct?


That is correct, if you want to keep XMR you need to mine in an XMR pool with an XMR payout address.

Quite similar to Mining Rig Rentals, there you set your miner and other person can buy your hash power. The time that your miner is free (not rented) you are mining in the pool that you want

for me, both software was work good in the past while i am mining. but i use both in the vps wit minimum spec, so i don't know how average per day. but when i am trying to mining in my pc, in nicehash, i only mining with lyre, i don't know why, maybe i only use cpu mining spec, in minergate, i only got hashrate in 21 h/s, yes its low i know, but i only on trial so i don't think the result will be good.

i think the result of hashrate will be different if i install vga cards, with only low budget vga cards, it coud make the hashrate increase to. so, my advice, when you want to run with both software, trying to use low budget vga cards, and don't use your pc or laptop, because it could be hot and its not good.
