If your app is periodically establishing connection, but then instead of actually mining on them, just terminating them, then you get yourself periodically banned for doing this.

We have strict anti-DDOS rules and such behaviour qualifies as an attack.

with my stratum checker now available on my manager i was able to observe that many stratum servers are not responding from time to time for longer than 10 sec when initially connecting, which results in a timeout on my checker:

i have compared that to the output of some claymore eth miner running at that time where it reported "timeout", it continued to work flawlessly.

i have verified not a single response is sent on the first 10 sec, so my guess here is that existing connections work fine, but new ones are getting blocked/rejected/dropped or something

from time to time there really is a problem so the checker works as expected as the miner itself also fails to connect, but these cases seem rare (besides lbry eu stratum which is kinda buggy)

maybe you guys know why this is happening?

Available locations are eu, usa, jp, hk.

NVIDIA GPUs:

Download windows binary

Example: Mining with NVIDIA GPU on NiceHash EU location:

Code:

excavator.exe -a pascal -s pascal.eu.nicehash.com:3358 -u [YOUR-BTC-ADDR].[YOUR-WORKER-NAME] -ca

AMD GPUs:

Windows & Linux binary: download and use open-source sgminer 5.6.0 releases.

Sources: open-source sgminer 5.6.0 sources.

Example: Mining with AMD GPU on NiceHash EU location:

Code:

Reminder:

We have added SSL support for mining on NiceHash with Claymore Equihash Zcash miner (as you know, SSL lower's Claymore miner's fee from 2.5% to 2.0%).

You have to use stratum+ssl:// for stratum connection and use port 33357. Please see the examples below:

Mining with Claymore Equihash Zcash miner on EU location

Code:

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool stratum+ssl://equihash.eu.nicehash.com:33357 -zwal [YOUR-BTC-ADDR].[YOUR-WORKER-NAME] -zpsw -x

Mining with Claymore Equihash Zcash miner on USA location

Code:

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool stratum+ssl://equihash.usa.nicehash.com:33357 -zwal [YOUR-BTC-ADDR].[YOUR-WORKER-NAME] -zpsw -x

Mining with Claymore Equihash Zcash miner on ASIA Hong Kong location

Code:

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool stratum+ssl://equihash.hk.nicehash.com:33357 -zwal [YOUR-BTC-ADDR].[YOUR-WORKER-NAME] -zpsw -x

Mining with Claymore Equihash Zcash miner on ASIA Japan location

Code:

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool stratum+ssl://equihash.jp.nicehash.com:33357 -zwal [YOUR-BTC-ADDR].[YOUR-WORKER-NAME] -zpsw -x

Please note that this only applies if you are using Claymore Equihash Zcash miner version 9.2. Besides lower Claymore miner's fee there are no other benefits and if you're not using Claymore miner you can mine Equihash algorithm just as you've been used before.

Best regards,
NiceHash team.

I actually have a suggestion although it may be nheqminer related rather than NiceHash

I've occasionally checked on my computer to see it only CPU mining. It would be interesting if the NiceHash program could recognize the hash rate as being low and do an auto switch back as a way reset the mining and get both the CPU and GPU active again, until nheqminer gets a function to auto reset. I think Claymore does that

If this could be added, a checkbox option would be good for that. If the GPU runs offline for any reason just restarting the miner does not include my fan settings from the OC software which could result in a heat problem while away. Zcash is weird in this way. It reports a much higher core clock speed than it should be in regards to the power consumption. I can avoid the GPU stopping by reducing my usual overclock offset in compensation to the unusually elevated clock rates

my $.02...

What you are asking does not sound like something the miner should do. If the GPU thread fails it is likely a problem with the GPU
that requires either a driver reset or system reboot. The best that can be hoped for is the miner detects the failure and reports it. It could also
exit, which would be more obvious, but would also miss out on CPU mining until fixed.

You could try running seperate instances for CPU and GPU with different worker names so you can easilly monitor them individually.

But the real fix is to set your clocks so the GPUs don't crash.

I am mining ZEC and I have not received any BTC payments yet. When I copy my BTC address onto the site it does not show me anything about my mining status at all so I can't even verify how close I am to the minimum payout

Basically like this, 42 sols/s here and no trace of anything for it yet

Are you mining on ZEC pool with BTC address? If yes, this is of course wrong. You must mine with a ZEC t-address on the Zcash pool. You should use BTC address only if you are selling your hashing power on nicehash.com service.

I may have screwed up by not adding this into my batch

stratum+tcp://equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357

Ok so just putting that in will make it work. According to the githb page for the miner it says to use the nheqminer.exe binary to sell my hash power for BTC which is the one I am using, with the BTC address as my username

Thing is on the github page for the miner it also says this as an example in regards to selling hash power with nicehash "nheqminer.exe -1 usa -u BTC-ADDRESS -t 6 -cd 0"

Maybe the problem me and others are having has to do with the Gitgub download page making it look like the set up works one way when it is not

edit:
The GUI showed me holding a 6 dollar balance, I think the reason I saw nothing is because I was searching for the wallet on the Zex.nicehash page. Well I can rest assured knowing where my hashes went now. Thank you

I've been mining zCash with this miner the whole night with 50+ sol/s but can't even find my worker address here:

http://zcash.nicehash.com/workers

What in the world is making it happen? I thought I'd have got my first 0.01 ZEC by now, but no, absolutely nothing.

I've now stopped mining with it.

Clueless!

Well I have a big 1/h desktop cpu rig with Linux...but have not been able to get the cpu file from nicehash....I guess everyone and his brother is trying to mine there 21c a day like me lol

Anyway tried github.....errors out

tried nicehash site page window/linux ..errors out

etc

So hell looks like everyone and his brother is trying log in and get his version and I am just s*it out of luck Sad

Any other way to get this latest 'baby' CPU miner to nicehash on ubuntu? currently no luck

I'm in Minnesota by the way...this supposedly should' work for us in this area of the usa.

later

edit:

Damn hard to get the CPU file to run it on ubuntu IF the site is being pounded....grrrr............both nicehash site for the download and the git hub site both are not responding the last 1/2 day

anyone got another way to get this puny CPU miner to mine into nicehash? (Started out to play with this now it is a Quest..in that I threw the old desktop together) again ....grrrrr...

To save you all from being cheated stay away from Nicehash.

I am now only at around half an hour mining on Supranova and I have .0002 unconfirmed! This just proves to me that Nicehash is cheating somehow with rewards. How could I only been at .0028 with Nicehash after 24 hours mining?

So he keeps payout extremely high at .01 and than plays around with the rewards you earned so you will never get it. What a scammer.

ICO? Not even once.

My overall balance is a fraction of what it should be based on another pool I was mining on at the same time with the slower miner.

Using no GPU, just CPU. A i7-2600K

it's recommended to use 75% of your cpu threads. That processor is a 4 core processor with 8 threads so recommend 6 for your threads.

Code:

nheqminer_zcash -l usa -u ADDRESS -t 6

Getting disconnected everytime I try to run the miner. Does anyone have a fix for this authorized worker error?

nheqminer_zcash.exe -l usa -u ADDRESS -p x -t 4

If you use the wrong type of mining type it will happen. Here is what I use for my mining.

nheqminer_zcash -l usa -u ADDRESS -t 4 -od 0 1 2

-od 0 1 2 (AMD GPU mining I have 3 cards 8GB RX 480, 4GB R9 380x, 3GB R9 280x)

If you are mining with Nvidia GPU than you need to use -cd

I am not sure where you are getting -p x as Nicehash is anonymous mining and does not use a password. I believe that is why you are getting that error.

I removed the -p along with the -l usa and the miner still crashes after it says authorized worker.

Do not remove the -l usa. Are you using in Nvidia or AMD GPU's at all and if so which one?
