nicehashbot

The NiceHash service for leasing and for purchasing crypto mining hashrate has released an useful tool for people that use NiceHash or WestHash for purchasing hashrate – NiceHashBot. The tool is in an open source and simple standalone Windows application for automatic order and profit management on NiceHash/WestHash. It is meant to ease the management of your orders on NiceHash/WestHash by automating some common operations which you would else have to carry out manually as well as to provide a basic platform for further development by anyone who would like to extend this bot into fully featured bot with advanced functionality thanks to the open source code. The tool uses the NiceHash API, so you need to enter your API key that you can find in the Account settings when you login in your NiceHash account and then you are ready to use it. If you are only using NiceHash or WestHash for selling your mining hashrate, then at the moment you don’t need the NiceHashBot tool, but you might want to check out the Miner Control tool instead. The source code of the NiceHashBot tool is available on GitHub and you can also find the compiled Windows package as well under the Releases tab.

minercontrol-1-6-1-gtx-750-ti

We have not updated our Miner Control based package for GTX 750 Ti GPUs for a while, so we have decided it is time to update it with the latest development – version 1.6.1 with an up to date ccMiner fork 1.5.31-git windows binary from SP (compiled for Maxwell cards with Compute 5.0 and 5.2 only). The GTX 750 Ti package is configured to work withNiceHash and Yaamp pools, supporting the more profitable X11, X13, X14, X15, Keccack, Lyra2RE and Quark algorithms. We have temporary removed support for NIST5 as it appears to have some issues with the latest releases of ccMiner from SP. It seems that at the moment mining Quark is profitable on Nvidia GPUs as compared to other popular algorithms.

You can download the package below with settings already set for non-overclocked GTX 750 Ti, if you are going to be using it on multiple card mining rigs you need to multiply the hashrate for the algorithms supported. The package will also function just fine on GTX 960, GTX 970 and GTX 980 cards where you would need to set the power usage and hashrate numbers for your respective hardware to get the correct calculations working. To be ready to use it you just need to update the account settings for each pool to reflect your BTC payment address. Do note that the default configuration that we have left is set to mine from time to time for the author of the software (Miner Control) as a donation alternative, but you can change that setting should you wish to.

minercontrol-1-6-0-lyra2re

A new version of the Miner Control tool has been released that introduces support for user defined algorithms that allows for the easy addition of newly released crypto coins as long as they are introduced in a supported pool. We have updated our Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti pack using the tool along with an up to date ccMiner fork 1.5.1-git windows binary from tpruvot. The configuration that we have prepared also includes support for the new Lyra2RE algorithm used by VertCoin (VTC) on top of the previously available algorithms.

You can download the package below with settings already set for non-overclocked GTX 750 Ti, if you are going to be using it on multiple card mining rigs you need to multiply the hashrate for the algorithms supported. The package will also function just fine on GTX 970 and GTX 980 cards where you would need to multiply the power usage and hashrate numbers by roughly 3 times to get the correct calculations working. Of course the best thing would be to set the right values for hashrate and power usage in the config file that the mining rig you have will produce. The GTX 750 Ti package is configured to work NiceHash, TradeMyBit, Yaamp and Wafflepool, supporting only the more profitable X11, X13, X15, NIST5 and Lyra2RE algorithms.

To be ready to use it you just need to update the account settings for each pool to reflect your BTC payment address and only for TradeMyBit you would need to set your account worker username and your API key for the update on the current prices. Do note that the default configuration that we have left is set to mine from time to time for the author of the software (Miner Control) as a donation alternative, but you can change that setting should you wish to.
