I am running 4, 2pacs on NiceHash with your Windows build. My NiceHash reports say I am running at low efficiency as I am not using the #xnsub (extranonce.subscription ). I have tried adding #xnsub in the command, but it flags a URL error.  My question is, have you incorporated the NiceHash include file for extranonce in your cgminer for windows builds?  Thanks for all your support!

#xnsub  is not important with low hash rates like you have.

BTW  why nicehash?  these sticks are good for solo mining or a pool like mmpool.org

not so good for niches
here is the link for mmpool

yeah it is a small pool  and hits 4 or 5 maybe 6 blocks a year.  but you will get earnings for that.  and if you ever hit a block you get all the tx fees.


here is the link for ck's pool  all or nothing solo

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=763510.0

you get a whole block minus a fee if you hit a block but nothing else if you are not the one hitting a block.

I will always point my sidehack sticks at the two pools above.
