sorry no support for nicehash.
This is zcoin official miner and nicehash is not considered as crypto friendly (price dumping, I think anyone who was around, when nicehash got hacked, saw price of crypto and mining profitability increased... just saying Grin ), hence the miner doesn't support nicehash.
Furthemore, if you do your own calculation, you should realize that mining zcoin and selling it yourself will be more profitable to you too.
Also the upcoming new platform of nicehash is not supporting mtp either... 

I'm not so negative about Nicehash, they provide an open market with willing participants on both sides
with them, as brokers, in the midle taking a cut. The effects on the overall crypto market are due to the actions of
their users more than their presence. However, they do tend to act like the elephant in the room at times by
making their own rules. That attitude never seemed to hurt Microsoft despite the anti-Microsoft cults.

The main market effect of Nicehash is the same as any auto-exchange pool. It tends to hurt altoins due
to persistent dumping for BTC. But it creates opportunities at the other end where altcoin specuators can
pick them up more cheaply when the pools dump them.

But I digress.

What is this Nicehash support issue? Did they do something stupid that requires specific miner support?
they require some modifications in stratum (in xtranonce I think)
