Ick nicehash down

[Elkwood]

So it only works if you manually transfer money out from your internal nicehash wallet to your external coinbase wallet? Not if you are mining directly to your coinbase wallet via the nicehash miner?

Judging by the From "NiceHash wallet to your Coinbase account" That is how i would read it. I see this as a attempt to
get more of us to use their NH wallet. I love to duck all the fees with this. I just don't have a NH wallet to do it with.

Might have to make one though if the fee's don't start dropping back to within reason. I only have a small setup so the fees
would eat up just about all my profit.

I would take this to mean that Nicehash's new internal wallet *IS* Coinbase.
Who knows, but I see no other way that instant feeless transfer makes sense.

 

[Elkwood]

Must be a agreement between the two of them. Where they are moving around their internal wallets to compensate ??
From the looks of it this will be temporary on NH side

Took the Vega 64 down to 1300mhz and still maintained the same hash rate of 2.05kh/s, Hurray! took GPU voltage down but anything under 1v it crashes. It reduced about 50w of power in the end. XMR-Stak pushes 342h/s out of the 6700 which is also decent.

What is the configuration for the 2 thread approach? Can you post the CPU config file?

Also ordered a Vega FE as well - seems like the only available Vega in the world at the moment. Vega FE you can load two different drivers (pro and a gaming driver, you maybe able to load three drivers but not sure on that one). Now if I can get the hashrate up with the 17.12.2 I will be rather happy with that. I think I will try again plus hoping the FE pro drivers can give some good hash rates as well.

Oops, almost forgot you asked for this.

Original setup I had:

"gpu_threads_conf" : [
// gpu: gfx900 memory:3920
// compute units: 64
{ "index" : 0, "intensity" : 2016, "worksize" : 8,
"affine_to_cpu" : 2 },

],

For 2 threads looks like this:

"gpu_threads_conf" : [
// gpu: gfx900 memory:3920
// compute units: 64
{ "index" : 0, "intensity" : 1600, "worksize" : 8,
"affine_to_cpu" : 2, "strided_index" : true
},
{ "index" : 0, "intensity" : 1600, "worksize" : 8,
"affine_to_cpu" : 2, "strided_index" : true
},
],

The intensity part can be 1800 when connecting a monitor to your GPU, I use 1600 because I still run Netflix in the morning for breakfast before work. If no monitor the guy claimed 1960 or so was good.

"strided_index" : true is the new part and I assume the threaded part.

Parja,

through your tip and push into the right direction I am now making 2-5x the money, using Awesome Miner and a tweaked Profit Profile.

The rate is anywhwere between 5-20€/day, for a single 1080Ti, that is most amazing.


Thank you once again mate

Set up NiceHash today and also set up a Coinbase account.

Running on rig in sig.

Currently looks to pay out ~$4/day

You do know they did chjange the payouts ??? you need A LOT OF BTC now, with your rig like 6 months etc... I stopped CPU mining with them, GPU is do MPH or Zpool mostly, mph preferred as I keep them coins as they come for a while and dont exchange any to BTC if possible, only mph allows that from what I use.

Not if you mine to NH internal wallet. You can do free transfers to Coinbase now with no payout limit.

 

[BitMaster]

god to know, but I do not want an accoun there at all. Payout every week ( with my hashrate ) was ok, but now, every 4-6 months !!?? Heck NO !

I won't use NH until they pay me the .017 BTC they owe me.

Thanks,
Got it working but I only get good hash rates using the block chain drivers with 2 threads. With 17.12.2, no matter what I did with affinity or intensity it would do ~1200h/s. With the block chain drivers it works much better for me, It is 1.95kh/s for Electroneum while I was getting 2.05 with Cast XMR, except Cast XMR is very touchy, as in doing something else and it will slow down to less than 1.9k and stay there. MPH now has me pulling in 240-270 Electroneums a day (2x 1700x, 6700k, 290, Nano and Vega 64). The two threads setting or method also works with the Nano but it's rate is about the same, a little bit less than the Claymore CryptoNight miner that comes with Awesome miner.

I'd bet they just keep the company stash on NH with proper 2FA and other safeguards that they clearly weren't capable of building.

So what alternatives are there to NH cpu mining? Anything that will convert you to anything on coinbase, ie btc, bch, ltc, eth...

No. NH internal wallet is and always has been just an IOU, even though they dress it up with fake BTC addresses that don't actually traverse the blockchain. The agreement with Coinbase is just a float sitting on Coinbase that NH pays that their IOU's out of. Thus instant, like transferring back and forth between Coinbase and GDAX.

BTW anyone mining to an external wallet with NH you're doing it wrong and overpaying fees, as well as exposing yourself unnecessarily to any further NH shenanigans by not taking possession of your mining profit daily instead of weekly.

I have to hand it to those greasy slovenians -- they executed their non-exit scam brilliantly with the social fake-hack for one massive profit take on their float. They have their cake and eat it too, with no repercussions other than a couple weeks of contrived downtime to make it look good. Nicely done.

 

[mnewxcv]

I am probably just missing the setting, but how can I run my 2 gpus separately in awesome miner? I am using MPH, have a 1080ti and 1050ti mining, but they are using the same algorithms, which is not ideal. How can I set them to switch independently?

 

[Gilthanis]

Not if you mine to NH internal wallet. You can do free transfers to Coinbase now with no payout limit.

Will it cause any problems switching between external and NH wallets in between payouts? For example, if I have like $40 mined that was assigned to go to a Coinbase wallet but I decide to just have that go to a Nicehash wallet instead, will I be essentially starting over or does it just use the wallet address when it is ready to pay out? If the transfer fees are negated right now, I would prefer to just manually move it but I have not set up a Nicehash wallet yet.

You'll have to reach the minimum payout amount on the external wallet (currently 0.1BTC since the weekly 0.01BTC payout is on hold). The NH client only uses the wallet address to tell the pool servers who to credit shares to. If you change it before you reach the payout, you'll be starting over on the new address and the old one will be stuck until either they discard the amount or you switch back to it and start mining again.

For example, I have some money at nanopool from when I started exploring mining but I just leave it there and dont mind on that account anymore, as it only yields about 1/3-1/2 max of what I can mine elsewhere. I rather dont follow it at nanopool, have them have that money but dont loose any more every day I mine with them. For me ( I am a novice, 1 week mining ) Zpool and MPH seem to be the best now, HRP on #3. I stopped with NH and NP.

[atp1916]

mnewxcv I feel that you could:

1. Run two instances of miners (one for your 1080 Ti, one for your 1050 Ti)
2. Set the remote watchdog port differently between the two
3. Create two profile profiles for either card
4. Create two external miners in AM
5. In each external miner setting, associate the proper profit profiles:

 

[atp1916]

For the record, here's the latest Awesome Miner update (4.2.9)

- Managed Profit Switching: For each Online Services entry, the password field can be configured to select payouts in other coins than Bitcoin
- AHashPool.com pool added to profit switcher
- GranatGas pool removed from profit switcher (due to instability)
- Moved setting to enable pool configuration via the web interface from the Security section to the Web section to make it available for Professional Edition and above
- Link to the GPU troubleshooting guide from the Diagnostics dialog
- Claymore Cryptonight Miner 11.0
- DSTM Zcash Miner 0.5.7
- Minor corrections

 

[BitMaster]

Ahash has 0% fee next 7 days, now included in ^^

 

[noko]

anyone on this?

I do that with pass through command going to the minner. In other words the Dual Etherium minor will use both 1070's and Nano together. I tell it to use only GP0 which is the Nano and not use GP1,GP2. I could have it just run on one 1070 and leave the other two for something else. Each minor may have a different command so you would have to know/research how to set it. Once I get home tomorrow I should be able to show you where you do this.

It seems like most altcoins are free falling too. Ripple seems to hold against.

it doesn't matter who supports it. It could be best korea for all I care its a better coin than most of them out there. I did sell half of my stockpile back around $1.2 sold some more off at $2.4

Why is a private, proprietary, centralized currency better than a open source community distributed currency?

[cpuspeed]

the article makes no sense really. complains about ripple not being real currency and not sold on exchanges but it is and the article says banks use it to transfer real currency. maybe author wrote it once and didn't read it.

only real difference is it is pre-mined. and since no mining needed it is not "distributed". whether or not having a relative handful of industrial miners or pools effectively controlling transactions vs having a single corporate identity legally responsible is better or not is arguable but the concept clearly is beyond the author's grasp.

The "correction" has been in place for several weeks now, this is nothing new. By correction, crypto isn't up several hundred percent.

All the doom and gloom, yet prices rebound quickly. Do you even crypto bro?

 

[Elkwood]

We not seen anything yet for scam coins !! I wonder what will be the biggest bo0om and bust coin in
the coming years ?? Ripple or IOTA ?

I just hope this goes for a few more years. I enjoy building the systems and mining the coins on NH.
Pool mining is ok for certain coins but i like the simpleness of NH. Love the new feature of NH to CB.

Going to be giving that a try in the coming weeks.

I do, and when I woke up yesterday and checked the curves, all pointed straight DOWN, like -20%, that's when you grab a coffee and watch..and may post a message.

When I wrote that msg, the curves where going down all the way. Yes, they stabilized, for now...

OK, I am just mining for a few weeks, still gathering knowledge. When I compare my profit on NH and Nanopool vs. Awesome Miner with a Profit Profile I actually make more per day, at least for since I started.

I did NH and Nanopool for a coiuple days, like 3,40€ per day, single 1080Ti, with AWE I can make more easily.

I am aiming at a €/day profit, not collecting a specific coin. I may do many things wrong, thats why I play low with 1-2 cards till I got the hang and know how this works best.

There are many good and many bad trails to follow I guess.

 

[Missing the point]

I haven't tried awesome miner but with nicehash I am definitely getting consistently better results than just mining pools for VTC... mostly because VTC has been lagging behind value wise.. but I'm getting ~$40+/day mining with Nicehash, where the calculators tell me I'll be getting ~$30/day with VTC mining... that $10/day adds up pretty dang quick!

yeah, I'm going back and forth between awesomeminer and NH now because I have crypto tied up in both before payouts, but last night I was getting less than $7 with a 1080ti and 1050ti with AM, switched to NH and it jumped to over $10. I hate the fact NH needs me to reach 0.1BTC before payout, but if it is consistently more profitable, I'll take my chances.

I switched to their internal wallet and get paid daily now (about $25/day average so far). As soon as a pay out is made, I use their new Coinbase withdrawal option to dump everything straight into my Coinbase account, then either to my bank or to GDAX to switch to something else and out to wherever I want it.

 

[atp1916]

I am fully back on NH (internal wallet), and using AM to monitor the rigs.

Fully 2FAd up on everything.

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).

To offer a choice means they have to update their client software to add the option in the wallet configuration, update their pool software to accept the extra parameter indicating which choice a submitted share has set, keep the "high-fee" shares separate from the "low-fee" shares for users who have multiple clients going with mixed configurations, and update their web services to show "high-fee" and "low-fee" balances and payout. That takes quite a bit of time to develop and test. OR they could focus their development effort on allowing payments to alt-coins and completely remove the high-fee issue altogether.
