Dear NiceHash buyers and pools,

Please be aware that we have changed the mining job validity time on RandomXMonero and CryptoNightR.  

Mining jobs are now only valid for 120 seconds on these two algorithms, decreased from 600 seconds.

These changes are to improve the stability of our hashrate marketplace.

How this affects Pools:

Pools should therefore send a new job at least every 110 seconds to be on the safe side. If they do not, we will close the bridge and reconnect it at a later time.

How this affects Buyers:

Affected orders will either occasionally appear to be in a dead state (since all bridges are closed at roughly the same time) or they will never get enough miners assigned to reach their limit, since bridges are closed every two minutes.

We advise you to reach out to the pool you are using to ensure that they are also aware of these changes.

Thank you for using our service,

Your NiceHash team
