If you ever wonder, South Africa is also not that bad, its not like on your news and quite safe, we do not have lions walking in the street, South Africa is very much different to rest of Africa, and it will be dirt cheap for you
i know about him from here in America because of a special show a couple years ago here... it was either PBS or new magazine show... he is an amazing artist for sure
@ FRISKIE.. did you get any fixed orders at NH this morning? the best i could get so far is 0.0408 which is just fine if our profitability is like yesterdays
hello everyone, new to prohashing are there any good password arguments for nicehash(scrypt)? i’ve been looking to forums and found some settings d=8192 g=off h=1000 but on another topic people says it’d be better off using h=1. Any idea?
The main issue is that NiceHash doesn't like for the coins to switch too fast, and the penalties add up to be more than the benefit you get from the Prohashing algorithm
So the idea of those arguments is to limit the amount of coin switching by raising the difficulty and minimum network difficulty, and the g=off doesn't all it to switch before work on the current coin is finished
Good to have you here!One thing, be alert in a few hours, the guys are going to do apply a major release to the mining server later today, and will be at least 1/2 hour of downtime
i agree with FRISKIE re the settings. n=yourworkername d=8192 g=off h=1000 is the way to go. I have tried several times to get the merge mining with "g=on" but it does seem to cause problems at nicehash. If you ever try the X11 here you will need different passwords arguments for nicehash so check back in.
steve chatted earlier that they were shooting for around 3:00pm EST but couldn’t be sure yet until chris get in. hopefully they will update us when the time comes.
@mickeekung : @Steve Sokolowski : if you have rentals, the upgrade would usually disconnect them I would think. I don’t think you’ll hash blindly into a black hole of rejects for ~30mins ?
Steve, don’t you think, then when people renting NH to you, they make up price on NH, making NH more income, and if you will ban NH, pepole on NH will see true difference here and there, this can get more customers to PH.

I’m not sure what you mean - the NiceHash mining rigs are losing the money, not our customers, because NiceHash takes fees
if NH got no connection to you, when high prices comes, they got 1/2 of your income. when they got connection to you, they income is 90% of your income
@Steve Sokolowski : I remember Chris said he was going to add 30 (?) new coins. Do you have a list of these, would be good to be able to research in advance. Thanks
i disagree with @ Konov re nicehash and will post to his new topic. the basics are these: this is a PPS pool, he more hash we get now matter where it cpomes from, the better for us all. It is impossible for NH renters or NH themselves to take any money from Prohashing or its miners. I’ll explain it more in detail later, but you are simply mis-connecting the dots.
i too was thinking of soloing BCC because my worker(s) found four a couple days ago...but after looking into it i calculating that i would have to run 1G for several days to find one block...so about 17% profit in 5 -7 days, MAYBE. better off sticking with the pool for easy 10 - 20% every day. still looking for soloing ops though.
steve said several days ago in a "status report" that those power usages are inaccurate right now. it is in the list of things-to-do and scheduled as far as i can recollect.
thanks for slack! Also about twitter link, i was looking for twitter icon somewhere around website so hard, i totally ignored the feed somehow. Thanks tho
