NiceHash have started taking sign ups for their next NiceHash software which is promising to be the biggest overhaul ever. Nicehash is know for its ease of use and ease of setup making it to be one of the most popular programs for miners to use.

This is what they had to say

We are proud to announce the third major iteration of our platform since the initial creation of NiceHash in 2014. We have been working hard over the past few months to deliver a better and simpler user experience while keeping the site fresh and up to the latest design standards. We are bringing a ton of new features, a completely new NiceHash Miner and also a few other surprises!

We welcome you to try out our new creation by participating in the closed BETA testing program. Closed BETA will be available for 500 selected users, and our main goal is to catch as many bugs as possible and patch them.

If you are interested in trying out our new products and features, and above all willing to help us polish the user experience, we invite you to submit the following form. 1 BTC bounty is waiting to be distributed between top 100 contributors with a raffle at the end of the closed beta period.

We'll contact you via email with more details and instructions, once the closed BETA will launch!

Thank you.

The form is a Google Docs form which you can find and submit here

I was a bit sceptical at first with them using Google Docs so made sure the link was correct and found it on their official Twitter

Which Algo Switching GPU Profit Miner?

Recently my L3 has been performing incredibly well on mining rig rentals so I have been looking to the GPU side of my operation a little bit more. Currently I sold all my GPU rigs and I am left with two GTX 1070 to mine with. Alot of people use Nicehash as its very very simply but with Nicehash you aren't always making the most of those GPU's and getting a possibly more BTC

So the alternatives....

Firstly I looked into Awesome miner. I already use Awesome miner to monitor my L3 so it was really easy to set it up. I created a profit miner for my GTX 1070 and selected the algorithms I wanted to mine and entered my BTC address for payout. Then it was a simple case of right clicking the profit miner and start.

Now my only issue with Awesome miner is the payout in Dollars is a little optimistic at least, its always incredibly high and its very unlikely you will see a return on that scale. Secondly I probably wouldn't use Blockmasters as a pool if you only have 1-2 cards as the payout is extremely high. Other than that once you get your head around the many menus within Awesome miner its a great program which can monitor your rigs with ease

Next I still wasn't 100% with Awesome miner, mainly because it was the free version and I wanted a bit more freedom without paying. So I done some more research and found another program which is 100% free and claims to get more profit than Awesome Miner

NemosMiner is based on MPH miner which I did not really get on with but Nemos is much easier thanks to its friendly config setup. Once you have downloaded and unzipped Nemos miner you will be presented with an interface, ok its not as pretty as Awesome Miner but it does the job.

Once you have gone into config entered your BTC address and selected the pools you wish to mine at its simply a case of hitting the start button. Once started every 120 seconds it will check to make sure you are mining the most profitable algo across multiple pools. I have to say I have found this to be my most profitable program that I have used, it may not be as simple as Awesome miner but it is worth the setting up

You can download Nemos Miner from the official Github

Dont forget if you want to be really really lazy and looking for something which is the most simple then I would probably stick to Nicehash
