Is NiceHash a mining rig rental service as well?

No. NiceHash is not a traditional rig rental platform. You cannot rent or choose individual mining machines. Instead, NiceHash operates a hashrate marketplace — a platform where buyers rent computing power (hashrate) from many independent miners.

How it works

Buyers create an order for hashrate by selecting an algorithm, price, and pool address.
Miners connected to NiceHash automatically fulfill these orders.
The mined coins are sent directly to the pool chosen by the buyer.

Difference from rig rental

Rig Rental	NiceHash Marketplace
You rent a specific machine or farm.	You rent hashrate from many miners — no specific hardware.
Fixed term and location.	Flexible duration; stop anytime.
You manage hosting and maintenance risks.	No hardware responsibility — just pay for the hashrate used.

Summary

NiceHash connects buyers and miners through a global hashrate marketplace. You control the algorithm, pool, and spending limit — but never the physical machines. That means more flexibility, no hardware risk, and full control over how and where your rented hashrate is used.
