To specify the kernel, use --algorithm marucoin for x13

Also I found that there is an issue with the example config file on the nicehash page. There is an extra comma which causes sgminer to not load the config file. This seems to be fixed as of now but the extra comma was just before the ] after the {. I removed it and it was fine.

I do seem to be running into an issue with the config file tho. When I try to run just one pool for testing (x11) using the config file, sgminer seems to never submit any work.
However running the equivalent command line, it is working fine

config file:

command line:

OK so "-k" is not a recognized command. How do we specify the mining kernel in sgminer 5.0 ?
PS: "-T" doesnt work so I put a "pause" line.

ad -T in your batch file. should pause on errors. than you can see what is at fault.

True, you can simply download pacthed cgminer and sgminer binaries here: https://www.nicehash.com/software and you'll get rid of these issues and better performance on NiceHash (and the same performance on other pools as if you would be using other non-nicehash cgminer/sgminer builds).

BTW: Some pools ignores connection from our extended cgminer and sgminer. We added an option to disable these "advanced features" for pools not supporting this features. One of these pools is CoinFu.

Just add "no-extranonce-subscribe" : true to the pool config for pools, that doesn't support extranonce-subscribe

Example:


Keep in mind: this only applies it you're using our cgminer and sgminer builds from https://www.nicehash.com/software !

Important note for all sellers - providers

After extensive internal testing we can finally provide you with our own sgminer and cgminer builds.

As you probably already know, NiceHash is using some advanced stratum protocol features, therefore older mining software is not supported. We have prepared optimized sgminer and cgminer builds for you to get optimum performance when mining with GPUs on NiceHash. Of course, these builds will also work equally optimal on other pools.

Our builds includes patch for seamless order swaping without interupts, the idle bugfix as well as some other minor impovements.

Get the software here: https://nicehash.com/software/

Please, download our sgminer or cgminer binaries and please report if it is working well for you. We will apprechiate any feedback!

On our software download page you will also find links to latest BFGMiner builds with good GridSeed support (BFGminer 3.99.0) - hopefully Hashra and others will include the latest BFGminer in their software builds as soon as possible.

Thank you for using NiceHash!

How many miners are you using? If you have many, then some might be unable to connect due to stricter firewall rules.

Some people suggested using appropriate miner with appropriate config.

Fixed. Please be patient. We are experiencing heavy DDOS for few days now already.

Please test following miners and confirm whether they are working with NiceHash and other pools without any issues:

Unfortunately, we are constantly being attack with various forms of attacks. Today, someone decided to spam the service with many orders - even though, he had to pay fee for that. Someone is really investing large quantities of resources to try to harm NiceHash.

Which miners are you using that you are getting lower hashrate?

Check you reject percentage. Also make sure you are not just looking at the 5 min hashrate because that may have a huge variance. Look at the "Round accepted speed MH/s" and also look at the chart.

Is your cgminer 3.7.2 modded remove the bug of 100% reject with the message "rejected share above target" ??

Because when I try the official cgminer 3.7.2 on your pool, I have this bug.

Thank you very much to your help.

Did you use the --scrypt parameter?
