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.
hey do you mine ADA? me and my dad like that coin and would be interested in mining it
Hey, please connect the miner back on so we can perform a network trace of it. This will be the easiest and fastest solution. Let us know that you connected it.
Easiest and fastest for who exactly? This customer who trusted your pool to run as expected and advertised? It’s not cool to take people’s money, then pay a reputable site with said money and expect everything to be kosker.
I tested my bitmain antminer k5 mining eaglesong on nicehash and ran into similar issues as you. here’s my write-up on my NH CKB nervos mining testing
It is the easiest and fastest way for all.
Eaglesong stratum works for all GPU miners without any issues.
K5 is a new device on the market, unfortunately we did not have an opportunity to test it out yet. There could be many issues like difficulty settings, wrong protocol used by K5 (some manufacturers use a bit different protocols for some algorithms. Z9 and Z11 are one of them), and may other possibilities.
