EDIT - I am using "Equihash CPU&GPU Miner for NiceHash v0.5c" obtained from https://github.com/nicehash/nheqminer HEAD commit  (b9900ff8e3c6f8e5a46af18db454f2a2082d9f46).

The miner you're using has not been updated to deal with the other Equihash coins, least of all, Bitcoin Gold.

Nicehash developed/supported/funded miners also don't work anywhere but on NiceHash, though there are older exceptions.



Use EWBF miner for Bitcoin Gold. You can set "--nofee" option.

Thanks, I downloaded the latest version of EWBF (0.3.4b) and ran with the '--fee 0' option, I assume this is equivalent to '--nofee'?

I'm mining using an Nvidia GPU and it seems Equihash based coins are consistently the #1 or #2 most profitable. I'd like to mine Equihash using Algo switch mining (port 17XXX) but I'm not thrilled about these closed source Equihash miners. Is everyone using EWBF/Claymore/DSTM? Is there really no good open source option that I could use for Equihash mining with the auto Equihash algo switch mining feature?

Thanks!

Hi all,

Is the "Algo switch mining (Port 17XXX)" feature when using equihash down at the moment? I am able to successfully mine zcash like so:
./nheqminer -cd 0 -t 0 -l us-east1.zcash.miningpoolhub.com:20570 -u usernum.workernum -p x

But as soon as I try this algo switch mining feature I get a variety of different errors, e.g.

./nheqminer -cd 0 -t 0 -l us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17023 -u usernum.workernum -p x
... gives this error:
stratum | ZcashMiner::parseJob(): Invalid or unsupported block header version

./nheqminer -cd 0 -t 0 -l us-east.equihash.miningpoolhub.com:17023 -u usernum.workernum -p x
... gives this error:
stratum | resolve: Host not found (authoritative)

./nheqminer -cd 0 -t 0 -l us-east.miningpoolhub.com:17023 -u usernum.workernum -p x
... gives this error:
stratum | resolve: Host not found (authoritative)

Any ideas? Maybe I'm just using the wrong URL?
