Hello,
If anyone is interested in buying Dagger-Hashimoto hashing power to mine Ethereum even without having physical miners: we added
beta support for Ethereum Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm to
NiceHash. Since original Ethereum specification lacks full stratum support, we made a few minor patches to the Ethereum specification in order to be able to put support for Ethereum on NiceHash. The specifications are published
here.
Pools and mining software have to be patched in order to be compatible with the new specification. Currently there are no compatible public pools available, but we made a basic Ethereum pool which follows these specifications and other pools can be prepared according to these specifications. Full source code for the patched Ethereum pool can be found
here. We also patched Genoils ethminer and full source code as well as beta windows binary can be downloaded
here.
MINING POOL OPERATORS BOUNTYSince we would like for pools to put support for NiceHash as soon as possible, we will pay 0.5 BTC to each of the
first three Ethereum pools operators that will make their pools compatible with NiceHash rented hashing power. Compatible pools will also be listed on our
recommended pools page.
Thank you for your support!
Best regards,
NiceHash team.
