the problem is not the password. He mine 15 min and stop. I have to start it again and do the same again. It can’t be the temperature. What is the normal temperature? I posted a picture showing the temperature
the temp was normal in the picture but it said the miner had not been running 20 minutes yet I think all Bitmain stuff shuts off at 85 degrees Celsius you were at 70 after 20 minutes i think that is kinda hot but I am not familiar with that miner so I could be way off
Also can I suggest an edit to your title? It is not clear that you have an issue with a new miner. The current title sounds like you got a miner that did not belong to you. I am assuming English is not your first language. Maybe change it to “Antminer K5 not working after 2 hours”. This could get more attention to your topic or it could help someone with an answer find your question.
yes it’s true english is not my subject 
But to the miner, can it be that it is a pool problem? Can anyone try it out if the problem is with NiceHash? thank you for your patience
You could always try Cudo Miner or a mining pool (F2Pool) to see if the problem continues. This way you will at least know if the problem stems from NiceHash or the K5 miner.
agreed, just try mining on f2pool to see if its stable. I dont have any major stability issues with the bitmain antminer k5
My bitmain antminer k5 has also been mining in a stagnant garage with 97f air in it
Also @MASSI good news, @NiceHash actually just joined our voskcointalk. We have verified this is an official account. You could seek support in their official thread here.
Okay, so, the idea of multiple pool options is to have runover when a pool is failing. Sure, try f2pool. That one can be trusted as well.
I’m having the same problem wiith K5 and NiceHash. It shuts down after 2 hours or so. Prior to that I mined for more than 48 hours on Hashpool with no issues.

there u go changing the title got you some real help! woohoo lol
Should be noted that it is possible your miner simply looks as though it is not hashing correctly. Though it very well may be. Honestly surprised to see a nicehash rep and have a million questions. Would start with where the revenue went from user generated btc addresses. Next I will fully expect to see minergate and honeyminer come back too.
Can you post a screenshot of your nicehash dashboard, and another screenshot of your miner config (via the antminer dashboard) – please share that and any other info in this thread along with
I pinged @NiceHash as well
honeyminer and the devs behind it sold out to Core Scientific or I mean Core Scientific acquired Honeyminer, so I don’t think we will see much more of honeyminer 
My personal balance is still listed there. Which is more than I can say for the other two companies.
I never kept up with minergate, what happened with them? & whats your estimated missing balance with nicehash? & are you able to withdraw from honeyminer?
Thanks for your tips and help. I will try it in f2pool if it should go there then NiceHash should also try to get it under control, would be great! The advantage is that you do not need an exchange to exchange the cryptocurrency
Have not yet attempted to withdraw from honeyminer. Guessing it will work. Just a few bucks disappeared from nicehash, but enough to walk away for good. Was mining aeon at minergate but the balance disappeared along with an option to mine that coin. All three companies have mining options. There are just much better ones imo.
Just imagining what it would do for this ecosystem if nicehash actually made an attempt to return money lost to the old platform. Attempting not to think of those we lost to shady business practices. Favorite trick by far was watching my balance slowly disappear as I would try to mine. Damn, said I was not going to mention that name.
Don’t mean to spamyou with screenshots but this is what I found in the past 3 hours or so. Hashpool is very stable with Difficulty of 42/43. NiceHash finds way way more shares but lower in value with diff of 29 to 30. After just 2 mins on NH, miner starts humping around from pool to pool and the pools show up as “Dead” in less than 45 mins even though the miner reports regular hashrate. I need to figure out how to set NH diff to 42 and try again later. I put d=42 in PW field but didn’t affect. Anyone ahs any ideas, let me know.
