NsgminerNvidia does not work with NiceHash

[mserpell]

With v MultiPoolMinerV2.7.2.6.zip I get an error and then MPM goes into a continuous loop and doesn't mine anymore ...

Verify that you can run the miner with the same parameters as a standalone application (you can copy/paste the command from the MPM window). If this fails please post your issue on the miner developer page. To me this smells like another libcurl issue like this

[mserpell]

I have additional log file which indicates the parameter are not correct ...

@mserpell

What log entry makes you believe that the parameters are incorrect? TerminatingError(New-Object): "Exception calling ".ctor" with "2" argument(s): "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:24028"" is a follow-up error because the miner could not be executed in the first place.

What happens when you run this command in a cmd window:

C:\Users\mserp\Downloads\MultiPoolMinerV2.7.2\Bin\Nsgminer\nsgminer.exe --api-port 24028 --api-listen --neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://neoscrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3341 -u 3ESeLEBiuDSJTnhPz5gQ6jG7z1xvyGfxkA.Miner1 -p x --gpu-threads 1 --worksize 64 --intensity 15 --gpu-platform 0?

[mserpell]

When I run the command line I get a blanks console screen . I then press the letter "I" for information against the console (which is noted in the readme file for NSGminer) and the the program returns "No servers could be used! Exiting." to the console and then goes to a command prompt. Looks buggy.

[UselessGuru]

You are mining on NiceHash - not supported :-(

https://github.com/ghostlander/nsgminer/issues/31

Solution: Either don't use NiceHash or don't use NSGminer.

[mserpell]

Thankyou, glad to see you've picked this up as an enhancement.

[UselessGuru]

Enhancement is in the works.... https://github.com/grantemsley/MultiPoolMiner/commit/3bbc1a3d76e201444ed63a3a40b53d74a359c8d7

[Kettoch]

@UselessGuru did this get merged?

[UselessGuru]

No, it did not get merged. Maybe it will in the future.

[UselessGuru]

NsgMiner on Nvidia is fixed with https://github.com/MultiPoolMiner/MultiPoolMiner/pull/2061
