17001 is the port for the Scrypt algorithm and switches to the most profitable coin. Set your auto exchange coin in MiningPoolHub to GameCredits for that to work. If you mine at NiceHash, set you speed slow and mine for hours/days.
I'm not sure what your aim is here but, if you just want GameCredits, I recommend that you go buy them because if you are messing with NiceHash then you will most likely lose money.
I don't really want GameCredits, I have my autoswitch coin set to Bitcoin. I was just trying mine via scrypt and try some things out. GAME was what the Scypt algo switching was currently mining.
I was just trying to figure out why I don't seem to get any coins out of it even though I constantly mined (slowly) for 10 hours.
I know I'm most likely going to lose money. I've read enough to know that. I just like the challenge and learning how it works, so I'm trying different things. You say to go slow and mine for a long time. Has anyone tried setting the price really low and taking short bursts? Has that worked for anyone? (Don't want to hijack this thread for something I probably should post on nicehash thread, I'm more interested in why my coins haven't shown up).
