Hi everyone, I hope it's okay to re-up an old thread? I wasn't sure my question warranted its own topic

I'm running my own mining pool and I'm trying to mine a coin with sha256d as its algo. I've set the pool difficulty for sha256 in the coin/algo configuration files in my pool to 500000 (the minimum required by NiceHash for sha256 - https://www.nicehash.com/pool-operators). I can get solo miners to connect and mine blocks and they parse the difficulty as being 500000 - https://imgbox.com/E2fIYofp. However, NiceHash pool verificator returns the "pool difficulty too low (provided=16, minimum=500000)" error (https://imgbox.com/uWopLwOz) and miners from NiceHash orders fail to connect to the pool. What could the issue be and how do I fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
newlymintedcryptolover

EDIT 14/03/2022: I've managed to solve this - turns out, all I needed to do was add the line nicehash = 750000 to the stratum part of the algo configuration file. Here's what the configuration file looks like now: https://imgbox.com/6WmPHK9U . It took me almost a week to solve this! It'd be great to have more documentation for issues like this.

Gentlemen, when I have both CPU and GPU checked in NiceHash Legacy 1.8.1.5 it shows I am only making about $0.12/day. Both the CPU and GPU are listed. When I unselect the CPU and keep only the GPU checked this goes up about $3/day. I thought having both the CPU and GPU mining would result in higher earnings, not less.

I am brand new to mining. Am I doing something wrong? I ran all benchmarks I thought the CPU can still mine even tho it's not as effective as the GPU.

Thank you.

Got a question for zpool as so far I am not getting any answers or support at mining hub so looking at moving on.

I got a Baikal Miner Giant+ and I want to know a few things. 

Is it possible while multi mining to estimate or calculate what I am actually making in a 24 hour period? With Mining Pool Hub it's balance page is not easily understood so I can not even figure out what I am making daily with it.

For example.. credit     credited for exchange   on exchange   

with no explanation of what each of these are.

So I am looking for a pool much easier to follow so I know Baikal works with Zpool to.  I am looking for a nice easy UI that makes it clear how much profit I am actually making.

hi, is there any way to connect to nicehash if i'm behind a firewall that blocks port 3333?
I guess the answer is no but you never know!

I also agree with you the pool supranova is very good and OCMiner is very professional and very active in the community. I don't know a lof about the pool NiceHash

This pool is very nice! But I like more supranova

Very quiet here 

I'm getting frequent stratum timeouts mining cryptonight, sometimes my i5 will go over 10 minutes
without submitting a share, my i7 seems to do better.

Vardiff never lowers the diff below 25000, can something be done about this?

So when is nicehash going add skein?

hello can i contact support somewhere, i should've receive my payment today my balance is 0 USD now and it was 50$ i went on my "Check my status"
and there's "No recent payments." in the "Payments" section this is really scaring me am i getting my money or not  ? its the first time this thing happens !

There is a miner dedicated to ethereum? why?  Isn't nicehash one single miner that auto-switches the coin automatically?

Is there a way to replacing some .exe miners included in the Nicehash miner, for other ones? for example, I would like to change ethminer for claymore, and excavator for ewbf 0.3.3b ...

Any idea why my Daggerhashimoto hashrate seems to be on the low side when mining on nicehash?
Using smOS with RX 580 GPU's

Avg. speed is around 570MH/s, but it should be around 620.

We did some tweaks on default intensity settings on our fork of ccminer for X11-gost algorithm:

16.0+ MH/s speed for GTX 1080
12.5+ MH/s speed for GTX 1070

https://github.com/nicehash/ccminer-x11gost/releases

EDIT: we will soon upgrade NiceHash Miner and include this version of ccminer for X11-gost algorithm


Keep on hashing!

Best regards,
NiceHash team.

X11-gost^NEW algorithm (for Siberian chervonets (SIB) coin) added to NiceHash marketplace.

Sellers connect your miners to:

Which miner is best for mining ETH+DECR on NiceHash right now? I'm using Claymore DUAL, but may be it will be better software to do it on NiceHash?

Cause i have some Rejects sometimes. About 25% on Decred... 

well, sometimes they are not, i noticed this on my asics as they support failover pools and some hash is getting to the backup pool on a daily basis, probably just some minutes, but still

currently the stratum availability is verified by sending mining.subscribe and mining.authorize with the configured btc addr and pass to check if the stratum responds as intended

any failure before or during this test will mark the stratum as unavailable, this could be a simple invalid btc addr, a dns issue on the host, offline stratum servers or high latency network issues

sometimes when the frontend is down for maintenance the stratum is too (rare, but it happens), in such cases the miner should switch to backup pool and to nicehash back after its working again

yiimp and mph are both working great, they dont seem to implement such a banning solution

edit: it would be great if you could reduce the ddos "connections per second" definition to sane values, i approximate about 12-15 connection establishments per minute from two ips from my home, a ddos would likely be 15 connection attempts per second or more?

i could also increase the checking interval from 1 to 2 minutes, doubling the timespan and thus halving the connection attempts per timeframe

edit2: i dont know exactly how sgminer does it, but if i setup nicehash as a backup pool the addr will also be banned just by sgminer verifiying the backup pool from time to time i suppose

if sgminer does it by having a single connection open all the time (and thus not opening/closing new connections) i could implement that as well, but unfortunately i dont have that kind of a deep understanding of the stratum protocol (keepalive packets?)

What exactly do you mean by "check stratum availability"? Our stratums are always available

If you need to check profitability, use this: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=simplemultialgo

well this is unfortunate, how to check the stratum availability without triggering those bans?

unfortunately most miner developers dont want to implement failover (except sgminer, but only conf files afaik)
