Topic: [PPS multipool] NiceHash.com pool - higher profits than direct mining BTC! - page 7. (Read 98703 times)

That's been my experience, I have an s4+ and 6 s5s and I would get random lockups only on nicehash.

All 7 have been running for a while on btcguild since I switched them off of Nicehash without issue.

I'll put them on again this weekend and do a 3 day trial and let you know how it goes.

We do not know why S5 has this problem, but if it is due to fast job switching, this should be resolved now too. Basically, if your S5 had problems only on NH/WH and all other SHA256 mining pools worked fine for you, then NH/WH will work fine for you from now on too.

Do you think this will fix the issue with the S5 locking up from time to time?

We've just recently updated our stratum servers code which improves mining performance for Antminer S5 and similar miners. You should get close to 0% rejects and optimal speed (the same as on other optimal configured pools).

8 GH/s ? dude are u kidding me ? 

ps : just use some btc calculator.....
https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

8gh/s = 0.002473BTC/month or about 0.5904$

please can you tell how much btc
I can earn per day with gridseed 8ghs btc and 400mhs scrypt miner? please guide. thanks in advance

I'm beginning to wonder if it's something to do with the xnonce patch and the Ants.  My S3s, while they for the most part get the expected hash rate, are constantly rebooting ever since I implemented the patched cgminer.  One of them now will not hash at default clock (218.75) and I had to down clock to 212 (translates to hashing at 425GH/s instead of 440GH/s).

Everything is default, I can try .eu, but since I'm on the west coast of the US, I'm going to get some wicked latency.

I don't really mind the slightly lower speeds(granted, I'd prefer to not have them), but the lockups are what's bothering me.

Are you running at default speeds or are you overclocking? This might also be an networking issue, please try connecting to EU stratum server for test:

Hey guys, xposting this from the Antminer S5 thread:

6 Antminer S5s all running slow on nicehash/westhash and randomly locking up about one a week, sp20s run full speed... any ideas?

I'm running the updated firmware with extranonce enabled from Smit1237, but all 6 of my s5 miners run between 950 and 1050gh/s vs running near 1200gh/s when running on kano.is or a couple of other pools.  I've had 4 lockups in the last 5 weeks as well, box is just offline.  Cycling power fixes the offline issue.

4 of them are powered via an IBM 2880W PSU with j4bberwock's breakout board, the other two are powered by an EVGA 1300, so power shouldn't be an issue.  There's plenty of overhead on the 2880 and some overhead on the EVGA.

Any ideas on how to get them to run at proper speeds on westhash.com?  Should I just move them over to another pool and no longer worry about it?

I'd also like to know =)

IMPORTANT notice for sellers (miners): we're switching to new DNS structure for stratum servers

Hello,

To make our service even more scalable as well as future proof for new algorithms and fluctuating hashing power among different algorithms, we've prepared new DNS naming for our stratum servers.

Please note that there will be no hard switch to the new naming structure, we are using a soft grace period in which old and new naming coexists, and both, old and new stratum addresses works.

Nevertheless, we are asking you to make the following changes to your miner's configurations as soon as possible. The new DNS naming is already active and can be already used. Here are two major changes:

1) westhash.com is being renamed to usa.nicehash.com. This is ONLY true for stratum server addresses, WestHash web interface will still be available at https://www.westhash.com. However, we'll be merging both markets (and later adding also an Asian market) into single web interface in the future updates (of course, still with geographically separated physical locations of servers).

2) Each algorithm is having it's own unique stratum mining DNS address.

Here is a list for EU location servers (aka NiceHash):


And here is a list for USA location servers (aka WestHash):


Note that there is no more "stratum" string, the name of the algorithm implies this. Therefore you have to replace the string "stratum" with "[algorithm].eu" or "[algorithm].usa".

Essentially you have to delete the string "stratum" and then copy-paste "sha256.eu", "scrypt.eu", "x11.eu", "x13.eu", etc. or for USA location (aka WestHash) "sha256.usa", "scrypt.usa", "x11.usa", "x13.usa", etc.

For example, replace:


with


And for USA (aka WestHash) location, replace:


with


We HIGHLY RECOMMEND you to use the copy-paste (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V) function for replacing individual strings instead of typing it manually to avoid typing mistakes - keep in mind that incorrectly typed address will result into dead/inactive pool connection.

And we kindly ask you to make these changes until June 15th, 2015. After this date the old naming of stratum servers will be deprecated.

Thank you for using our service and hopefully these changes won't cause you too many troubles. If you have any additional questions or troubles with making the required changes, please let us know to [email protected].

Thank you for using our service!

It was only a glitch in stats, nothing more. Fixed now.

I had the same thing happen today.

Also getting a huge number of rejected shares, sometimes 1 worker show up in the stats, sometimes 2 workers.

I just re-flashed my S5's to stock and pointed them to another pool.

For all I know it was only the stats messed up, but I don't want to wait 24 hours to find out.

Please send us direct link of your miner stats to [email protected], we need to know your mining btc address to look into it.

Any idea what's going on here?  For the last 30 minutes, I'm showing 0.0000 BTC/TH/Day pay rate while the site is showing 0.0110/BTC/TH/Day



All my boxes are still showing as mining and handing in shares.

Just because I am curious, what's driving the rental price up these days on Westhash? Any insights to offer?

Maybe it should be 2x

Today we implemented a warning pop-up window if you enter a price that is more then 10x higher then current average price. So hopefully this kind of mistakes wont happen any more.

You can also use custom naming for your miners when using one BTC address for multiple miners. Simply append .name to your username: YOUR_BITCOIN_ADDRESS.name where "name" can be any string with up to seven alphanumeric (Aa-Zz, 0-9) characters (if more then seven characters or if non-alphanumerical character will be used, naming wont work).
