Bug: Miner hangs after a few minutes. If I push a button (spacebar for example) it unfreeze and spams a bunch of rejected shares (reason: Job not found). Then starts working great for another 5 min.
If I notice it fast enough I can push a button and make it unfreeze and submit lots of successful shares at once.
Internally the shares are being calculated but something is making the share submission and UI code stop updating every few minutes.
toni,
it was between us (NiceHash) or someone else who would buy it. And there is no way we would go with the open implementation of a miner (with dev fee!) into our NiceHash Miner. That would mean more % cut for the users which is not beneficial for our users - we donât want to force them to pay the % to 3rd party software developer.
I donât think that any of our users would mind that we have invested our capital into buying this awesome peace of miner and save them a few percents of dev fee. So now they too will be able to mine faster and make more profit with the software. We could however be âassholesâ and force our users to pay dev fee instead of us investing in it.
Why donât you make your miner fee based unless itâs on your pool? 2.5% dev fee anywhere other then Nicehash? You still get paid either way and it adds incentive to use it on your pool.
From my perspective, as a miner, I can use it, but the speed increase isnât worth it compared to using a normal miner due to the low payments on Nicehash that are largely controlled by bots. More people would be inclined to use your service (miners and hash buyers) if it wasnât a automated bidwar between bots that always tries to keep the price as low as possible. Thatâs why so many people use other pools and Iâm sure you guys also see thatâs happening.
Branching out with the dev fee would mean distancing from the primary goal - the NiceHash hashing power marketplace.
Sellers AND buyers are making money with us. I donât believe this is something we would want to change, do we? Of course, your idea about dev fee is indeed interesting I can say.
I assume you care about profits, not just the marketplace. Right now for instance I can use ZCâs miner and make more money mining on other pools, that means there is no reason for me to use your miner or marketplace. The speed increase of Nicehash miner would have to be so great as to eclipse this difference (basically the profits your automated hash buyers are making).
I also assume most miners are also after profits, so either you need to make your private Nicehash miner insanely fast or you need to compromise to just taking part of the hashrate that miners want to use on other pools. A âno fee for Nicehashâ with a 2.5% dev fee still incentivizes miners to use your pool and makes you money if they choose not toâŚ
Something else to consider is this isnât a zero sum game, there are always other options. I can pick up my rigs and (sadly) move back to Ethereum, which I have been doing off and on for the last week, ever since Claymore released his miner. If there arenât competitive options in the Equihash scene then there is no reason for me to stay around here.
A lot of miners arenât very smart and they just go wherever the blood is. They see more hash and go âoh this will make me more money!â without actually putting into context what theyâre doing. A step up from that is miners that only look at Whattomine without adjusting any of the options besides their hashrate, they assume thatâs just what they will make. They donât put into context trends (such as a bunch of hashrate moving around, a new miner coming out, or a new coin added/discovery such as ZCL yesterday), their own influence on difficulty, and current difficulty. Itâs weird, but Iâm pretty sure a lot of miners have absolutely no idea what theyâre doing or have any sort of idea how cryptos work.
Youâll see Nicehash hashrate decrease in about 12-24 hours once those miners realize they arenât making nearly as much as they thought and Whattomine 24 hour averages adjust.
