Its been good the past hour or so. No random hanging, hash rate on my 2x 1050Ti's is about the same.
I'm currently benchmarking using NH software to see if I can net a bigger daily return. If that doesn't turn out well, I'll switch back to neoscrypt and use your on my 1060's rig.
I was using Nicehash about month ago for short period of time, didn't like constant switching of algos and tried to mine neoscrypt-only directly at their neoscrypt.eu.nicehash.com servers - it gave more daily return, but may be it was just luck at that day. Now I just mine neoscrypt at zpool, they pay out often starting with 0.0025 btc.
I tested three pools over the past three+ days simultaneously running one of three identical 8x1070 rigs per pool mining mostly Equihash. I let Awesome Miner switch between Equihash (DSTM) and Neoscrypt based on its own profitability logic, but it was picking Equihash most of the time during these past three days.
Results:
Zpool came out last with
0.0054 BTC earned to date including pending coins. I think I'm done with it for good now.
MiningPoolHub is in the middle with
0.0079 BTC in wallet and some coins still on exchanges.
Nicehash earned
0.0103 BTC to date, which amounts to around $35/rig/day at ~4,000 Sol/sec/rig.
Another positive note about NH is that it reports hashrates very similar to what your HSRMiner fork is showing. Withing a couple of percent. At the same time MPH and ZP is all over the place.
I know NH sounds lame, but it is the pool I end up coming back to time and time again after tying some alternatives once every other month or so. Mainly because of stability due to the huge total pool hashrate and predictable earnings. Also lately they offer free and immediate and free transactions to Coinbase, which is what I'm using to cash out on a regular basis lately.
Having said that, I'm still hoping they will repay my balance lost in that security breach...
