Support for CryptoNight algorithm
We are introducing the immediate availability for buying and selling hashing power with CryptoNight algorithm. Several coins, such as Monero (XMR) can be mined with the CryptoNight algorithm hashing power. You can place orders and point them to any of your preferred pools for mining coins, based on CryptoNight algorithm.
For buyers
All pools are compatible with NiceHash service. Place an order with your favourite pool and start mining. Minimal difficulty is 10000, but for best mining performance, we recommend 25000 or more.
For miners/sellers
CPU mining
- Windows binary: download and use our latest cpuminer-multi.
- Source (or for building on Linux): cpuminer-multi on git.
Launch it with following parameters:
--algo=cryptonight --url=stratum+tcp://cryptonight.eu.nicehash.com:3355 --userpass=[YOUR_BTC_ADDR_HERE]:x
NVIDIA mining
- Windows binary: download and use our latest ccminer-cryptonight.
- Source (or for building on Linux): ccminer-cryptonight on git.
Depending on your GPU, launch parameters may be a bit different, but here are some for the most popular cards:
GTX 980
--bsleep=0 --bfactor=0 --launch=32x16 --url=stratum+tcp://cryptonight.eu.nicehash.com:3355 --userpass=[YOUR_BTC_ADDR_HERE]:x
GTX 970
--bsleep=0 --bfactor=0 --launch=32x13 --url=stratum+tcp://cryptonight.eu.nicehash.com:3355 --userpass=[YOUR_BTC_ADDR_HERE]:x
GTX 960
--bsleep=0 --bfactor=0 --launch=32x8 --url=stratum+tcp://cryptonight.eu.nicehash.com:3355 --userpass=[YOUR_BTC_ADDR_HERE]:x
GTX 950
--bsleep=0 --bfactor=0 --launch=32x6 --url=stratum+tcp://cryptonight.eu.nicehash.com:3355 --userpass=[YOUR_BTC_ADDR_HERE]:x
If your GPU is not listed, you may experiment with --launch parameter. First number is number of threads. Looks like it is best to keep that at 32 for Maxwell cards. Second number is number of threadblocks, which is best to be the same as count of SM your card has. A single GTX 970 overclocked to 1400 MHz will produce approximately 450 H/s.
AMD mining
Not available yet.
We will add CryptoNight algorithm to the next release of NiceHash Miner.
Software developers - please READ this: in order for mining software to be fully compatible with NiceHash CryptoNight algorithm, please follow these specifications and patch your mining software accordingly.
Thank you for your using our service and keep on hashing! ;)
Best regards,
NiceHash team
