Using latest AM v8.0.2 with latest t-rex-0.17.2 which added ethash algorithm for Ethereum.  Had to manually enable algo ethash in Managed software options.

Diagnostics when starting t-rex with -a ethash :

Hi Patrik,

the new version of T-Rex mining Ethereum at NiceHash needs a special prefix:

"0.17.2 * Add "ethash" algorithm (for Ethereum). For Nicehash mining use "nicehash+tcp://" pool url prefix."

I know in Online Services / Properties. But how can this be done, if we also want to use other miners than just T-Rex for Ethereum at NiceHash? These other miners would also get the new prefix which should not work. And T-Rex will not work with the standard prefix. Is there a workaround or can you do some magical auto detecting tricks here for that case? Smiley
With the latest definition update I've mapped "ethash" for T-Rex miner.

For Mining Pool Hub, it looks like some incompatibility between the T-Rex miner and their Ethereum pool.

The Nicehash, this requires a small code change in Awesome Miner to change the protocol to "nicehash+tcp" as you pointed out. This will be part of the next release.
