Nicehash traffic is hopping Intense pools and ruining mining for small miners.

Network hash rate simply doubles at times from 8/10 to 20+ MH/s and difficulty skyrockets.

Totally agree, Nice Hash is a pain in the ass. They dip in till the difficulty is sky high then jump out until its low again. Becoming a joke really.

Of course, and many small miners meanwhile have quit Intense mining because of low reward.

itns.west-pool.org has blocked nicehash traffic this morning. I'm sticking with them. Every intense pool should do the same.

And what a reason, if another pools have nicehashports?)) You are only lowering your pools hashrate) Good luck!

Problem with NH traffic is that it is episodic, probably hopping in just before a block is found to get most of the reward with insane hash rates for a few minutes while others have been mining there for hours and are left with almost nothing. That's what screws the system, not the high hasrate.

Just look at network hashrate, it was 21 MH/s 30 minutes ago and now it's half of that. This can't be good for network.

I don't know how pools are calculating payments, but some other pools / coins are adapting PPLNS system instead of proportional, to discourage this predatory hop in / hop out behaviour.

this is almoast normal for network.and there is no wrong calculation. This hashrate gives you an additional cheance to find a block. But thete is a real chance, that the time of nh user will not be ever payed if pool gont find any block.

That's a joke lol, with that hash rate (NiceHash) of course they are going to find a block. That's why when it happens pools I have been on that find blocks every 5 minutes or so don't find any for an hour+. I agree about it being pointless moving to anther pool as it is a network issue if NiceHash can mine ITNS. Also I wouldnt want NiceHash on my pool to find a block as the reward would be pitance. PPLNS may well help, at least make the person buying the Nice Hash power pay more as they would need the hash power for longer.
