Ick nicehash down

If you're going to use Nicehash at all, only use the internal wallet option and then shoot it to Coinbase daily as previous poster mentions. DO NOT mine to an external wallet since they have payments for anything below 0.1 BTC on indefinite hold due to BTC's high transaction fee (they should allow people the option to pay the fee if they want anyway, but they haven't yet).

when switching to internal, you lose pending balance youve acrued to external right?

Yes, but the way I see it is that it's going to take several weeks or months to get to the 0.1 minimum. However, if I switch I can let 0.01 sit there until they can pay out and mine on an internal address and get paid 0.001-0.002 everyday and transfer with no fees. If BTC goes up, then the amount sitting will just gain value. If BTC goes down, then I've been able to take advantage of the higher value in the interim.
 
you don't lose what in the external wallet, it just sits there. if things don't change (i.e., lower minimum payout) and external wallet is in-active for 3 months then NH will keep it. if you mine just a penny to keep it active every month to be safe it will just sit there "safe".

is there anything special I need to do to avoid fees transferring to CB, or do I just send it to my CB wallet from NH wallet and that's it? Thanks!
 
Wow, just did my first NH to Coinbase withdraw... that was easy, and instant!

Just withdraw, enter your coinbase email address, enter the 2FA, confirm, and instantly my coinbase shows a balance... so now I can withdraw from Coinbase to my Ledger/Trezor :)
 
i went back and tested it also withdrawn twice i make enough to withdraw every day or every other day now paying better then mph right now also.
 
i've done three now to CB. If they could just automate emptying I'd be fine pointing more power at them again. Right now my vegas are probably the only thing worth pointing at them since I have all the ETN I care to HODL (9k)
 
Just a general question with no true answer, but at what point do you think it'd be wise to stop using NH with btc payout for mph with a different coin? Btc has been falling (stabilizing?) so other coins appear more likely to increase. Of course this is a gamble, but eth is one of the big coins that is essentially on all the major exchanges and seems to be one that doesn't ebb and flow with btc like bch and ltc seem to do. Any thoughts?

due to transfer fee its pretty much never a good idea to have MPH exchanging to btc

lol, my goal is 10k coins and move on, about 3000 now. I am mining to NH with the Nvidia cards and can withdrawal to Coinbase daily as well - it is quick with zero transfer fees which is great. I hoping to recover the lost funds as well - we will see.

I meant NH paying out BTC vs MPH paying out ETH. (I had MPH paying out BCH while I used it though).
Click to expand...
the other coins have been shadowing BTC as a whole. What i've been doing is considering which coin I think is down the most or has the most to gain. Right now i think thats BTC. I'me starting to stockpile a bit of BTC since that is also likely the first coin to skyrocket when things go back up.
 
Pretty much guarantee that this so-called "investment group" (if they exist) is cleaning house of all characters that could be complicit in the hack whether directly or indirectly.

What i find very interesting (and ironic) is that his co-founder, CTO Matjaž Škorjanc, is still going to be holding office.

OTOH, i really did not have a 'Plan B' for mining if NH went down.

Now i do :D

Too bad Plan B isn’t as profitable. :(

I like the idea of awesome miner and multiple pools —- but nice hash makes 20-30% more in my recent experience?!?!?!!!!
 
Archaea When i switched AM to hit only MPH and specific algos good for the NV cards things definitely stabilized upward, but i was still only going ~.006 ~.008 / day (over a few week's period).

With NH, i am back up to my expected ~.010-.012 a day.

I am quite convinced that the AM + multipool route hinges on using only 1 or 2 pools max, a select (few) number of consistently profitable algos, and profit tracking on the 24 hour period (not current).

However, I've also been taking note of AM's update change logs and there has been enough changes to the profit switching to make me question the overall implementation as a whole.

Plan B rev 2.0 could be just leashing all my cards to a single algo switching endpoint for one of these pools and leaving it at that.
 
You guys have convinced me to try NH again. I have been on MPH for the last month switching between just HODL'ing what I mined and auto-converting to BTC while is was rising daily.

Almost all my rigs are currently running nvOC, but I have spare SSD's for all of them, so I guess I'll create a fresh Win10 image using MSMG Toolkit to debloat and then start rolling it out. I'm happy to see that the latest NHML allows benchmarking all GPUs in parallel as it would otherwise take me forever the properly do precise benchmarks on my 9x 1080Ti rigs.

I'm hoping the Falls Creator Edition that supports up to 12 GPU's will also allow me to boot for the 1st time with all GPU's already installed. It would be pain to have to bring each GPU online one at a time, and damn near impossible on my rigs with water cooled 1080Ti's since they use blocks.

I have been using AM to monitor all my rigs, including my S9's, so I know exactly what my daily/monthly earnings have been, and they align pretty close with that MPH is telling me.

But my Plan B will be to just stik the nvOC SSD's back in all the rigs in case NH goes down again.

0.01 Payments to external wallets just went out this morning, and fees for future payments to them are going up to 5%.

I found when NH went away it took out the dumbest miners for a good length of time and made coins like ETN much easier to profit off of. WHEN NH goes away again that plan B's profits go up. when NH exists plan B's profits are lower than NH. Its how a ponzi scheme works. All scams are centered on paying better than everybody else. until they don't.

They are really encouraging everyone to mine to their internal wallet hard -- but no thanks. I'll be mining to my external wallet thank you very much. yeah for more fees :confused:

However, even with a 5% fee I suspect they are still 25% more profitable than the best alternatives I've found.

This morning on nice hash (12) RX580's were making $50.38 (undervolted and underclocked to 1130mhz)
while (7) 1080TI were closing in on $60. (undervolted to 65%)
and my I7 6850K CPU and single 1080TI in my gaming rig were making over $11.


Beat that on a regular basis at MPH....I don't think you can.

Just mine to internal wallet and transfer to Coinbase for free every time your wallet gets over .001 BTC. Seems way less risky than waiting until you accumulate 10x that to pay out with a 5% fee to boot.

You're thinking about it backwards and kinda stupid. By mining to the external wallet you are increasing your risk and letting them sit on your money longer. By mining to internal and yanking it daily to coinbase you at least lower your exposure.

Uh....I'm getting ~$35 with 3x 1080ti.....on zpool. Enjoy getting feed to death. Awesomeminer takes a bit to set up and get optimized, (the default profit profiles while they were just reworked, are kinda bad) and set up external miners, you end up with a lot more versatile of a product.
 
I converted one of my 9x1080Ti rigs from nvOC doing ZEN on MPH to Win10 running NH. I prepped the Win10 SSD on another machine with a 1060 card to get the latest nvidia drivers installed. The then just swapped the nvOC SSD with the Win10 one. On the first boot, it took a good 20 minutes for windows to "install devices", but then it came right up with all 9 1080Ti's showing up in device manager. I then ran the precise benchmarks, and then I was off mining. Afterbuner only sees 8 GPUs, but since I have them synced, it appears to be applying settings to all 9.

Here they are in action:

miner03NH_1_2_18.JPG


This rig was pulling in $60/day on MPH doing ZEN. So its doing about $25 better on NH before tuning. Not bad.
 
yeah Nist5 is much higher than average presently. What you're reporting is a short term blip which happens from time to time. I haven't researched yet to find which coin is brand new but what I've been seeing tells me a new coin is up and spec has pushed the mining power prices upward.
 
As long as it keeps going up, I'm not complaining: :)

NH97dollars.JPG


But yeah, I agree that is not going to last, but if my 24 hour average stays above $65, I'll probably start moving my other rigs over as well. I do mine to local wallet and xfer to coinbase, so I'm not too worried about exposure.

its a temp blip the best bet is to get everything you can moved to it today and cash in all you can. if the other rigs are on nvoc I'm not sure which miner is nist5 but you can just point to the NH nist5 pool and ride the blip.
 
Damn, my rig is pulling $27/day now. That's double what it was 12 hours ago.
 
yea i moved back to nicehash about a week ago and my 1080 been killing it making between 6-15usd on its own today its making 15usd i run a memory bios by evga that tighted the timings and raised the clocks. But Nist5 is already droping down it just lost 3bucks of profit in the last 2mins miners jumping on it lol.

Where did you get the bios? I haven't read much about the Nvidia cards needing to be flashed like the amd cards. Did you see a big improvement?
 
Is Nicehash Legacy getting better output on Nvidia compared to the regular miner?

Well awhile back evga released a 11GHz memory speed bios for some of the cards i snaged the bios and tried it on mine and it worked giving me a little boost in games and more mining. My cards would do 11Ghz thru MSI Afterburner already but me and others found the bios gave us a bigger boost in games then just overclocking the cards so timings were also adjusted.

Heh. Its like some of you guys have to be hit over the head before you get it.

Seriously though Nist5 has been glorious for about 10 days now. Thankfully so many people are lazy and just want 1-click ease without bothering to look under the hood of anything. Most of the kiddie miners will stick with NH 2.x which omits some of the most profitable algo's, but its only a matter of time until a spoonfeed thread goes up on reddit/nicehash and they come flooding in to legacy.

There are actually a few ways of tuning ccminer-alexis further, I'm getting 92MH/s out of my 1080Ti's.

Shhh... first rule of legacy miner is you don't talk about legacy miner ;) Let the kiddies stick to NH 2.x

Seriously though I was wondering when you scrubs were finally going to catch on. Nist5 has been glorious for about 10 days now. Now I'm sure it'll go to shit as lazy Nicehash kiddies kiddies join the hashpool.

I realized this last night when I checked whattomine and it said skunk was killing it, yet NH2 didn't have the skunk miner available to me. Legacy all the way!
