Topic: [PPS multipool] NiceHash.com pool - higher profits than direct mining BTC! - page 19. (Read 98715 times)

I have the same with all my S5-s. 

FYI I had the same problem with my S4.  I had to turn off the extranonce, otherwise it'd never failover to another pool when the price dropped.  I reported it in the S4 forums, and like most if not all Bitmain issues, it was ignored.

This is all I get with my C1's. And I did find an upgraded firmware that support #xnsub feature. I can connect to Westhash stratum just fine by itself, but if I put in a price in the password it doesn't jump to my second pool. Any ideas here?





EDIT:
I may be getting somewhere. I used P=.015 and it started to mine on Westhash. I'm a little lost on what price to set there, so what would be a good average price set there?

I also want to change it to a very high price to see if it drops down to my backup pool as well.

Apparently if I use an upper case P in the password field for the price it will just mine there no matter what the price. I tried using P=.50 which is of course is way high and my miner "should" have jumped to my backup pool buy it stayed hashing on Westhas stratum. Soon as I change that upper case P to a lower case p my C1 doesn't mine at all on Westhash or jump down to backup pool. Technical issues with the Antminer C1 apparently.

hmm... seems to be fixed now.

Any reason why I can't connect my miners to WestHash? Can't get SHA or Scrpyt to connect. The SHA rig works fine pointing to another pool. I've double checked all the URLs and everything; everything is fine. As a matter of fact, they were working fine for the past month... just today they magically decided to no longer connect.

My S5's jump down in and out of Westhash as my price is hit but I have had my S3's sometimes just get stuck after leaving Westhash and not failover to my next pool.

There maybe other issues with the C1 miner on this proxy. I set it up so that my password was p=0.0117. Westhash was my first pool/proxy. Then I added my second pool. I reset my miners and they never started on the second pool, even though it indicated "live" in the status column. I think I have heard others talk about their rigs not jump down to the next pool. Any thoughts?

AntMiner C1 is obviously having some issues, we'll try to provide an updated cgminer binary with extranonce.subscribe.


No, pure PPS.


Our pool is a hash rate rental service and buyers of hashing power are willing to pay more for renting hashing power, that is why you are paid more then directly mining BTC.


Please take a look here: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=faq#faqs9 and see the "Note:".


Like I said, obviously C1s are having issues with our pool, we'll take a look at it.


Take a look at past 7 or 30 days at https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=stats, tab SHA256, it still pays more then directly mining BTC.

d=1024 is wrong  never use it.


use p= ?

p is for price you want to rent at.

So set it for p=0.0121  and you will skip the pool unless someone pays  that high .

one of my sp20e settings  so it looks at west and nice hash to see if I can sell high. right now I can't it goes to my third choice.

As an aside this ability to list more then 6 pools is on sp20e's and is very good for people using west and nice hash.

At no cost in hash or time it checks and skips west-nice hash until the time is right. then scoops in and gets  a high price automatically when it is available.

Basically if you have sp20e's and don't do a setup  like mine below you are throwing money away.

The past higher profits left in thread title only..
About your other questions let us hope a pool op will come with an answer

My miners are hashing good (1 TH each) but when I view the stats page they are only doing 800 GH/sec. And the speed rejected is like %2 to %4. When I've tried other pools I was always at at least 980-1TH/sec. Any idea what that could be? I'm just trying out this pool for the first time today.


Also, does the mining default to PPLNS?
And I put D=1024 in the password, but it still cranks it up to 4096 by itself.

I'm strictly mining BTC, nothing special. The title of this thread says "higher profits than difect mining BTC", where are those higher profits coming from and how long after you start mining there you will see that?

I'm pretty familiar with settings up my pools, but this one seems a little confusing. I'm just a little more concerned with why the difficulty is jumping way up to 4096 when I set it at 1024 in the password field to 1024 using "D=1024" from help from a previous post.

Also why my hashing speeds on my miners here at home are going full blast but when I check the westhash site I have high speed rejected stats. Unless I'm just not understanding this pool and it's setup.

Thanks.

That is why we reward miners for often job switches. On some orders, that purely perform constant job switching, miners are rewarded very good. Example:



This miner was getting paid more than what kind of speed it has. Of course, we are trying to set these rewards to be equal to full miners speed, but this is long process and a lot of testing will have to be done before we find optimal formula. Currently miners are paid a bit more than what they should be in events of massive job switching.

No matter if your miner gets rapped by massive amounts of new jobs, our system will reward it with extra virtual shares.

Could somebody explain why I see difference in the payments between on Nicehash stats page and my own miners page?

The stats shows 0.119 but at my miners page 0.095.

 

Odd, I have made lots of BTC both renting out and renting. You have to apply some math skills to decide when to do either, dog. If you lack these skills it is likely best that you stick with something simpler.

Tried buying hash speed and renting my miners lost out both ways it all bs!

I will stay with Antpool pays much better and a lot less HW errors from all that coin switching which Nicehash keeps anyway as profit its all BS!

I make a profit as well ... when the price is right.  Right now the price is wrong.  I'm not sure who would rent their rigs at 4% - 2% = 6% less than you'd get mining at a place like Eligius, where at minimum you make 99%, more if you configure your NMC.

Renters need to get their prices right...

You are saying this from buyers point of view? Me, as a seller, I constantly make profit, small, due to high electricity cost, but more than mining direct Bitcoins.

Nicehash and westhash are highway robbery there is no way you can make a profit it is all BS do the math.

 

I never cared much for coin hopping tech.   I use nicehash - westhash at  kano's pool, ck's pool and mmpool.  all are btc and I commit for 24, 48 ,72 hours or more of rented hash at those pools.

 Coin hopping  needs to be limited to 1 hop an hour (pick a number)  not 1 every 3  seconds.  

  Basically here is why.  If I sell a 'magic' miner with magic software and point it to a  pool that switches every 5 seconds the edge vanishes  as people adapt it.

 A lot like a 500gh miner is now a piece of shit too small.

Or a 1 watt per gh miner is now power hungry.

So I make a phillie willy miner.  it is primed to switch super fast.  I point it to west/nice hash multipool  with exotic  custom software that kano and ck have been paid to develop.

 And for 30 days or 60 days it stays ahead.  Then someone reverse engineers the software the miner and west-nice hashes switching multi pool you are back to square one.

Guess what happened to BTC  it got weakened by it all.

Just study what gaw-zen did to price of coins with it methods.  I have supported west-nice hash and still will but in this case I am not big with switching pools.

 I saw what zen-gaw did to LTC and other alts.  I also see zen-gaw's methods as a threat to btc.  Now Nice/west is not doing that the hash is online pointed at various pools but it dilutes btc and we need more to point at btc only.  

Or anyone coin not 100 different coins. There is not enough room for all the coins and pop up coins.
