NiceHash Control Tool 1.1.1 Pack for AMD Radeon 280X

14, Jul 2014

nicehash-control-tool-111

We have updated our NiceHash Control tool package with sgminer for use with AMD Radeon R9 280X or 7970 GPUs to the latest NiceHash Control version 1.1.1 that adds up some new useful features. The idea for this tool is to sell your hashrate at the NiceHash service making the highest possible profit by switching to the most profitable mining algorithm all the time. Our ready to use package supports the X11, X13, X15 and NIST5 algorithms as we consider that these are currently the most profitable ones as well as the ones that will use less power and generate less heat. The update available here also introduces backup pools for each algorithm, so that when NiceHash is down you will move to the TradeMyBit pool as a backup (you need a registration there and to setup the backup pool’s user and password to your own).

What you need to do in order to use our AMD Radeon 280X mining pack is to edit the config file and set your BTC address, edit the backup pool settings in the MINERS.bat file and then just start the AUTOSTART.BAT file to fire up the software. What is left is to monitor your earnings on the NiceHash website, and you can check the log.txt file for information what algorithm was switched to and when. This version of the package does take advantage of the failover pool feature that sgminer supports, something that is still not available in the ccMiner for Nvidia, where we have to use a workaround to provide a backup pool support. If you like this tool and our AMD Radeon 280X mining pack based around it, don’t forget to send a tip to the author of the NiceHash Control software. Another important note, make sure to use the latest AMD beta video drivers in order to maximize your hashrate.

NiceHash Control 1.0.4 Tool Pack for GeForce GTX 750 Ti

12, Jul 2014

nicehash-control-tool-104

We have updated our NiceHash Control tool pack for GeForce GTX 750 Ti miners for selling your hashrate on the NiceHash service with maximum profit. Our mining pack comes ready for mining rigs using GTX 750 Ti cards, with a ccMiner fork supporting Windows XP or newer and Compute 3.0 cards or newer. We have preset the hashrate for a single GTX 750 Ti card for the various algorithms, though this pack supports only X11, X13, X15 and Nist5 as we believe that there is not much point in adding the others as they are not very profitable or mine on Nvidia GPUs or on GPUs in general. You can use the tool on mining rigs with multiple cards or with different Nvidia GPUs as well, but then the automatic calculation for the expected profit for the various algorithms will be off.

In this update we have used the latest version 1.04 of the NiceHash Control tool. Also we have made a simple solution to include a backup pool in case NiceHash does have some problems, something that is useful as ccMiner does not officially support failover pools. Do note that the backup pool will kick in after a minute of the miner not being able to connect to NiceHash and it will mine there until the software switches the most profitable algorithm or if the backup pool connection fails for some reason.

What you need to do in order to use our GTX 750 Ti mining pack is to edit the config file and set your BTC address, edit the backup pool in the MINERS.bat file and then just start the AUTOSTART.BAT file to fire up the software. What is left is to monitor your earnings on the NiceHash website, and you can check the log.txt file for information what algorithm was switched to and when. If you like this tool and our GTX 750 Ti mining pack based around it, don’t forget to send a tip to the author of the NiceHash Control software.

Download the SFMiner 2.1 English Software for Silver Fish Scrypt ASIC Miners

Silver Fish is a Chinese company making Scrypt ASIC miners based on 55nm Scrypt ASIC chips developed in-house called SF300K01. Obviously the main target for the 25 MHS and the 70 MHS Scrypt ASIC miners that Silver Fish makes is the Chinese market and thus they do not even have an English version of their website. Their miners, especially the smaller 25 MHS Silver Fish Blade Scrypt ASICs, are already finding their way in other parts of the world, but you may have some trouble finding a lot of information and software downloads about these. Since the miners are currently only controllable via a Windows-based PC software you may have some trouble finding the English version of the software – SFminer R2.1 EN, so we have provided a link to download it below. It seems that there is also a newer version available R3.04, however that version is currently only available in Chinese only.
