1. Nicehash or any other mining rental service is a terrible idea to use. Sure they pay you but it is a fraction of what they earn from your gear. Join a PPS pool - you will earn more.

I am new to ASIC mining, so any help would be appreciated.
What pool would you recomend?
viaBTC takes a very large commission on withdrawals

Minerstats says Nicehash is one of the most profitable (sometimes the most profitable of all!)

2. I assume you are talking about Nicehash's AB pool? It sux big time to the point of needing the special driver that Canaan made to run their miners there along with NH having a dedicated AB connection address. The Avalons all work fine on non-rental pools and all pools these days will run AB if the miner can do it - no special driver or connection required.

Yes, Nicehash's AB pool, when changing pool to stratum+tcp://sha256asicboost.eu.nicehash.com:3368, the miners just stop.

Strangely, I tried to mine on Nicehash pool using an Asien A1 miner, well, this one refused to start on Nicehash normal pool, but works just fine on Nicehash AsicBoost pool!
