Hi, is it possible to run the nicehash miner with your own overclocking/underclocking settings for each algo?
For example with DaggerHashimoto using Genoil miner and my own overclock settings I can get 31.3MH/s from my GTX1070.
If I run nicehash with everything at stock I get only 25MH/s.
Ideally Id like to set up optimised settings for ETH and Equihash and have it auto switch between the two, adding other algos later if necessary.
go to settings, then devices/algos, then extralaunch params.
not sure if nicehash uses genoil
disable any algo you don't want
You can't
NIcehash Miner is a sweet tool, dont get me wrong, but they will always struggle even being top 5 most profitable daily . And thats simply because: it always pay's more to do something yourself.
Nicehash finds you a buyer, Pays you PPS every single share, runs a wallet you can use, and makes it all available, puts cash in your pocket with "one-click" -- there's a fee for this service as you can imagine
I'm struggling finding easy to understand information all in one place. Any tips and guidance are very welcome.
1) To my understanding I could run same miners as NiceHash app is running by launching them via *.bat file with proper parameters. This step would save me 2% (4%) fee for wallet transfers, right? But then I would loose profitability switching.
2) Next, the pool for which work is done is charging its fee no matter if one is using NiceHash app or miner directly, correct? But when it is the time for payout, does pool charge a fee for transferring into your wallet?
3) Last and most ambiguous question is how do I mine these non-popular coins. For example it was shown, that Musicoin was profitable. How do I mine this coin? Does mining some coin means connecting a right type of miner (that uses right algorithm) to a certain pool?
1. yes. yes. yes, but it's a slight myth - takes time for your gpu to change algo, submit shares... usually not worth it
2. yes. pools vary in policy. they have to have some minimum tx fee
3. research the announcement thread for Musicoin or their website. see which pools are announced and which ones the users favour. yes right type of miner for the coin's algo. should be a choice of pools.
I just got home and my GPU temp was really low... the ccminer window indicated that mining stopped about 4 hours ago.
Is there a way to prevent this? Eventually all I had to do was click Stop/Start again.
Edit; Does this happen often? I could write a simple tool that will close/launch NiceHash every 60 mins or so..?
the early versions of the latest version(!) were prone to random stops. maybe redownload and try again. seems more stable now. or the .12 was stable
