Nicehash poolsetup for prohashing.com? Help needed.

by Checker1 · · Post #9754

I try to set up nicehash miningpower to prohashing, but it shows in nicehash 75% of the miningtime that pool is dead.

Currently i use following parameters:
Stratum: prohashing.com:3333
Worker: myusername
Password: a=x11 d=65536 n=001

Any better idea how to do it?

I tried different difficultys but problem stays same.


Thx in advance!

I think it is not possible to get nicehash x11 properly work in prohashing.com. I just tested huge amount of different settings/passwortarguments, but finally result is with every setup the same: pool shows permanently dead or pool starts to show dead in the moment when hashing starts.

Scrypt miningpower from nicehash works good.

If somebody would have some atlernative setup which works, it would be very helpful.

Thx!

This is correct. NiceHash rejects scrypt difficulties as being too high and doesn't wait the fraction of a second necessary for the x11 difficulty to be parsed from the password.

The only workaround for this issue is to have a second server that defaults to a=x11. Parallelism is one of the things we plan to do in the future to increase capacity, so this would go along with it, but I can't guarantee when that will be available.
