Hashrate order will allow you to bid for a price as low as possible, but if someone outbids your order, it may be paused, and you may need to increase the price to sustain the speed.
If your order is the highest-paying order, NiceHash will assign all the currently available hashrate to your order (until it reaches your maximum hashrate limit, if you have set one). This includes the hashrate of the currently active orders and hashrate available from higher-priced sellers (that would be all NiceHash available hashrate that is priced lower than or equal to the price you set on your order).
If your order pays equally as currently active orders and there is no more hashrate left, then the order is placed in the queue and will be served on a first-come, first-served basis when the currently active order is finished (Remaining BTC spent). If there is still available hashrate, it will be assigned to your order (until it reaches your maximum hashrate limit, if you have set one). If some orders with equal payment terms were placed before your order, they will be processed before yours.
If your order is lower-paying than the currently active orders and there is no more hashrate left, then your order is placed in the queue and will be served on a first-come, first-served basis when there is no higher-paying order.
If you've limited your order by a hashrate upper limit, you'll receive an approximate hashrate limit for your order. The limitation needs some time to stabilize at your set limit-point, and therefore, you'll first see the hashrate raised to a bit more than your threshold. In the following minutes, the hashrate will stabilize just a bit over your threshold. Please keep in mind that this limitation is only approximate.
White orders are active or on standby; red means a dead order (dead buyers' pool - will not be served until the pool is replenished).
If you want to quickly outbid a standard order, click the green icon next to any standard order price. This will open a new order window with the data already filled in.
