I would also be very interested also. I have had no luck on NH with either SHA or Scrypt - have tried every conceivable diff setting and with and without #xsnub. For some reason the workers won't pick it up - I have even tried setting a very high price and no luck. Mining Rig Rentals works great. You do have to watch as will drop the pool occasionally and doesn't revert back from backup pool so have to manually switch it every so often.

Rental prices are dead cheap right now. I am having my solar re-done so I can get more capacity and it's actually significantly cheaper right now to rent S9s or L9s for a month on MRR than the cost of the power to run mine in Northern Ca. So shut the S9 and T9s off and got monthly leases on 3 machines. 3 S9s for a month was a little less than $1K. Power alone would have been $1300. Hate having machines just sitting there but ...

We actually have a couple users live on Scrypt right now using Nicehash and have had dozens use it over the last several weeks. I actually wrote a quick article on the main site to explain it, located here. There is even a picture of the connection details in the article which should be helpful.

As far as Nicehash for sha256, I have not seen a live user try it out yet, but the pool seems to pass the verification when I try it out using the same details except the sha256 port number and the recommended difficulty of d=1000000. Originally the sha256 difficulty of our pool was too low to play nicely with Nicehash, but it has since been adjusted and their pool verification passes our trial attempts. We'll probably give it a spin ourselves soon to ensure everything is also fine.

Going back to your other post, we don't necessarily see as much info about your devices as you do in the Antminer control panel. That being said I've seen many people on forums throughout the past year say that a set difficulty of 128,000 seems to be the sweet spot for the standard L3+ (assuming no Overclock of the chips). Personally I've tried a set difficulty of 128k and var diff and both seem to be decent when the pool sets a close value to that. Essentially the coin offerings, job size and other variables play a bit into what diff number is "perfect". If we get better info than what we have now, we'll be sure to update appropriately.

I have quite a bit of BTC left at Nicehash that they are slowing releasing after the hack (that was a nice surprise as I just assumed that .5 BTC was long gone but so far they seem to be living up to their promise (well, 10pct so far)). Once the next round drops I will go give it another try. Will probably just test the SHA then cancel and use another Algo as have enough SHA for now. Particularly on SHA on NH, I hate having to constantly go back and see if prices have moved and my contract isn't live anymore. And the fixed contracts are pretty expensive. Just feels like I am getting gamed. MRR just is more predicable - and typically cheaper. A lot of people love NH, an it is a little easier to use.
On the L3 point - I reverted back to vardiff and it seems fine. Not sure you changed anything but it now seems to be moving it between 120 and 240K nicely. Previously it just seemed like everything good pegged at 240K on vardiff. Have 4 pointed at you and they are all between 120 and 160K at moment. 3 are overclocked to 550Mhz, one is not. I may move another 3 or 4 over next weekend as returns look good.
