nsfminer VS NiceHash QuickMiner

wget https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer/releases/download/v1.3.14/nsfminer_1.3.14-ubuntu_20.04-cuda_11.3-opencl.tgz tar xzvf nsfminer_1.3.14-ubuntu_20.04-cuda_11.3-opencl.tgz cd nsfminer ./nsfminer -P stratum1+tcp://[email protected]:6688 --retry-max 0

I discovered ethminer that time and was happy to see great example of collaboration in crypto dev community, it was outdated for newest CUDA, so I found nsfminer, that's the fork updated by one of previous contributors. It has no DEV fee and based on original ethminer, so I pretty much trust the code, even if it has no maintenance since mid of 2021.

I've never used it, but NSFMiner is supposed to be a fork of Ethminer, except the author updated it to support 30 series. https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer

Not really. There are protocols between miner software and pool operators. There are also some miner software out there that can evaluate prior to submission to the pool if a hash result is invalid or not. The open source ethminer used to do it until it's development stopped. Pretty sure some devs forked the code into NSFminer.

I would not risk it. If you need to use one on a device with sensitive info, I'd go with an open source version https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer

Happens because of this devfee bullshit. Get a miner that does not steal from you. Open source https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer

I switched to flexpool with nsfminer.

3) Corrupt installation - Delete ALL nicehash installs, Reboot , and Re-install New; see for the newest version of QM.

As a beginner, you can try out Nicehash. You will earn a few percent less, but you can start in a few minutes and they have a tool that doesn't require making any configs.

The exact date is not known since the halving starts after every 210,000 blocks, but the current estimations are on 17 March 2024, 22:55 UTC according to www.nicehash.com.

I've struggled to get "Memory Custom Timings" in OCTune in NHQM (v0.6.0.1) to work on 1080s to replicate the Ethlargementpill. Per https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashQuickMiner/wiki/Memory-timings, I tried entering "FAW=16","RRD=4" in the Memory Custom Timings "Set custom" box and then "Apply to All". No matter what I did, nothing seemed to happen, and the 1080s kept mining at ~22mhs.
