What is NiceHash Miner?

Cruxpool is fully compatible with NiceHash, the leading platform and the largest open marketplace specialized in crypto mining. If you do not want to invest in hardware in order to mine, or if you’re not sure yet, this is maybe a good starting point. Indeed, you might first want to try it out and begin with renting the computing power of other miners.

On NiceHash, buyers and sellers meet and make transactions. Biggest upside to this system, is that you don’t need any technical skills, you simply log in, make your order, enter the pool’s logs and there you go.

Here is a video which will show you how to mine with NiceHash on Cruxpool, step by step!

Let’s now move on to the creation of orders.

How do I create an order on Nicehash?

To create an order on Nicehash, go to Hashpower Marketplace. Once on the page, choose the right algorithm. 

  • For Bitcoin, select SHA-256
  • For Ethereum Classic, select Etchash
  • For Ergo, select Autolykos.
  • For Flux, select ZelHash.
  • For Ravencoin, select KawPow.
  • For Beam, select BeamV3.

Then, choose the server location (Europe, USA), as well as the type of order you want to make (Standard, Fixed).

The difference between these two types of orders is the flexibility of the price and limit for an order. It is flexible for a standard order, whereas it is fixed for a fixed order. A fixed order can only run for 24 hours whereas a standard order can run up to 10 days.

If needed, visit the NiceHash algorithms page for real-time algorithm statistics.

Click on New order – EU or USA – on market and choose Standard order. Settings will be displayed.

Choose the pool you have previously configured, then fill in the other three options.

  1. Price : This option sets what you want to pay in Bitcoin to get 1 TH per day.
  2. Limit : This option allows you to set the minimum speed per second for your order.
  3. Amount : This option sets the amount you are willing to pay for your order. This amount will determine the mining time for your order. This time cannot exceed 10 days.
