I would be great to see EXPANSE 'Dagger' Algo added to NiceHash.. Grin

I wonder what the consensus among the mining community is for something like this?

I cant wait to see what the next batch of goodies the Dev team have plans for releasing next?

I'm sure you don't need me to say this but i'll say it anyway: good luck & great job!

That sounds like a good idea. Im surprised betarigs hasnt stepped up too.

+1 sounds good

Sure, we're very much interested in adding Dagger Ethereum-based algorithm. We have actually already spent quite some time on researching this matter. The issue is that Ethereum want their own way with mining protocol and they only included Getwork-like protocol for mining. There is no stratum support and therefore including Dagger Ethereum-based algorithm into our service is not trivial (that's also the reason why there aren't any renting service available whatsoever). Basically there are two options:

1. Either Ethereum includes stratum protocol into their stack: we have already been asking the community https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/3068/stratum-support-for-pooled-mining-support-decentralization#latest -> zero response; and we've also contacted StephanTual of Ethereum, he said he will check with devs, but there was no further response.

2. Someone writes Ethereum's Getwork-like -> Stratum mining protocol proxy. That would require some programming effort, but is doable. If this proxy would exist, then the system would work like this:

Code:

miner -> local (lightweight) stratum-proxy -> NiceHash -> any Dagger Ethereum-based algorithm pool

This would yield significant boost to any Dagger Ethereum-based coin since NiceHash is by far the most widely used system for renting and buying hashing power. Think about our proposals and let us know if you can find someone for the Dagger stratum-proxy job ... we're even willing to partially finance the development.

For 2) maybe this is a place to start, https://github.com/sammy007/ether-proxy
