wtf. new coin and 1.5 mh/s hash rate. fuck nicehas

At the moment there is nothing we can do to stop this phenomenon ...

All official pools have a nicehash port open. Network at 2MH/s. All new cryptonight pow coins seem to have this hash rate now. Better to mine later if the hash rate drops. My guess is it will.

Devs: Any chance of closing the NiceHast port and give others a fair chance at mining for others with small hash rates. At my hash rate of 300 - 500 h/s it doesn't make sense for me to mine this.

It will not make any difference...those ports are only for starting diff ... we user vardiff so even if we close ports they will still be mining on normal ports and their diff will go up.

Yeah, i realised that later. Can't pools limit the difficulty and reject shares above a difficulty threshold ? Usually new coins give small miners a slight advantage by getting in early. I don't see that anymore with the cryptonight coins. The argument by the devs might be  that the difficutly algorithm takes care of nicehash, but actually it affects small miners even more. The more the time taken to mine a block the more inefficient it will become to mine.

I guess this is the way it is.
