^^ Good point. When I create a directory for NHML, the first thing I do is to exclude that folder via the Defender Virus and threat protection settings. THEN I extract the download into that folder and THEN I start HNML for the first time and let it download all the miners.

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Which miner exe is giving you the error? You'll probably have to put the DLL in the associated directory.

Awesome idea, but no, I allowed the program through the firewall but no-joy.
Thanks for all the help

antivirus and firewall are not the same thing, they are two different things.

What settings are you using to get that hashrate on nist5?
I'd sure like to know too. My 1080ti and 1050ti combined don't even get that.

Well, I'm particularly interested to hear what power limit he's running to get that. I could probably get that out of my 1080Ti, but it would take quite a bit more than the current 75% power level I'm running.

Yep i think that be a good idea.
I can hit 92MH/s, but I have to give my single 1080Ti rig quite a bit of power to reach it:
The 480 rad helps keep temps in check. I need to get around to OC the CPU to squeeze some more CryptoNigth hash out of it. It is just running stock clocks right now.

some serious clocks for 39c.....
Ok, so this is a little concerning. This morning my NH wallet balance is $0.00.
I see where it appears they did the usual in-wallet transaction to my local wallet around 6am:
But notice under payment history, the actual transaction is missing and that $ symbol signifying a payment is missing from the graph...
Are you guys seeing the same thing?

In seeing the same. They've posted on their Facebook feed that they're working on the payment system, so we'll see.

The only antivirus I have running is Windows Defender and I turned it off. No change.
Same here. I'm sure they're overwhelmed with the rush of new users, but hell if they're not making this look hard.

Looks like they have it fixed now.
Mine showed up eventually. It was a couple bucks' worth more than I had expected, actually. The transfer to coinbase was basically instant.
I'm kind of on the fence about whether to keep using Nicehash. I like the idea of it just doing the most profitable thing, but it seems like a pretty shaky operation, and frankly, I'd almost rather get paid in Eth than Btc.

I use
Awesome miner with MPH seems pretty solid for getting paid in eth, but prepare yourself for about 30% or more less profitability if mining for ETH outside of NiceHash in my experience.
the big problem is you can't trust NH at all so make sure you are checking every single day and pulling your money out. Make it a part of your morning routine like I did I guess. Its easy to cash out of NH while taking care of business.

It would involve a few extra steps, but you can always transfer the BTC to GDAX (no fees!) and put in a Limit Sell to buy LTC with BTC (no fees as long as you put in a price higher than the current market price). Then you can transfer the LTC somewhere else from GDAX (also no fees!).

I am just here for the details on 90 MH/s on Nist5.

Wow is all i got to say on that OC. I had mine higher but not at your power levels. Sweet setup u just need more cards !!!!!!!
Lol, I got 62 other cards already (22 of which are 1080Ti's), but I agree, I need more!

This is exactly what I do. I want my BTC in a NH wallet the least amount possible.
Currently using legacy NH, making ~$11/day with mostly Nist5, and $1.40/day with 6700k @ 4.8ghz
I have an MSI 1080 ti Gaming that'll be here tomorrow.
I hope it stays this profitable to pay off this extra card. Good luck to all!
well, my first mining casualty has occurred. HP Omen laptop. Oh, it still works! But the CPU fan sounds like a god damn power saw now, even at low speeds. Even when I shut the computer off and power cuts, it grinds to a halt slowly. Son of a bitch. I wouldn't care so much if the laptop was user serviceable, but its a huge PITA to open. Oh well, live and learn. Ordered a chinese replacement fan and will be back to mining until that one takes a shit.

No way it’s worth mining with a laptop you want to keep nice. I have a Alienware with a 1060 and I wouldn’t even consider it. The cooling systems on laptops are in no way built for 24/7 heavy duty cooling.
yeah, I sort of regret it now and am kidding about mining again on it. It is the computer I used more than any other, so I wasn't mining 24/7 (only overnight some nights). But, I can't stand the fan noise, and almost as much as that, I can't stand opening the laptop to repair it, so it will not be abused further. By the time the fan comes from china though, I could probably ROI a couple more 1080 TIs....
mines still going. I had assumed the fan would go first. Did you even try the HP warranty? I was planning on letting it basically just melt itself within the year. Mines been mostly mining 24/7 with rare use other than mining. It does suck opening it since you have to use those plastic pry bar tools for something as simple as installing an NVME drive.
Was yours $500 or were you one that managed to get all the way down to $250? I bought mine using discover so whenver it dies I'll have to read up on that extended warranty.
It was 500 but because it was the display model I got it for 400. Not gonna bother filing a warranty claim since I don't want to send it in and be without it for a week or more. I'd only file a claim for something I can't fix like a motherboard or screen problem, since those are basically the only two parts that cost serious money.
I'm wondering if I contributed to the fan failing though. I used one of those laptop cooling things so the laptop had fans under it and was at like a 30 degree angle. Wonder if the angle made it fail sooner.
I've always assumed that laptop components are designed to be able to sit at odd angles, case in point being their harddrives. Not sure if that's still the case, but I heard at some point that desktop drives should always be flat or vertical, whereas with laptop drives that didn't matter.

Not so much wives tales as much as misunderstood ancient wisdom. Back in the FM MFM days when drive still used stepper motors, if you low-level formatted* a drive laying flat and then stood it up, the weight of the head unit would change the way it tracked and would affect where it was reading and writing on the platter. You could pontentially read the wrong data and crash the system, or write to the wrong track and corrupt data (or the whole filesystem).
Today's drives are much different. For one they use voice coils to drive the much much lighters head assemblies, so they can move the heads into a nearly infinite number of positions.. They also use embedded servo information on the platter so the drives always know exactly where they heads are located.
* I'm talking about real low-level formatting where you actually had to create the sectors on the drive before you could even write anything to it, not running "Format C:" that people today think is a low-level format.
That was more likely some sort of shock protection parking the heads to prevent them from slapping the platter.

Your fan failed because those aren’t designed to run a 100% duty cycle for an extended period of time, not the angle. It’s a cheap laptop where they cut corners everywhere.
is 8 hours that long though (while i sleep)? I'm pretty sure the fan is at 100% when I game on it too, and it is after all a gaming laptop.

Well people told you it was a bad idea, then you did it anyway and killed the fan. So I think the question has already been answered

well it is soon to be better than new with a fresh chinese fan
