NiceHash is a hashrate exchange platform where miners can purchase hashrate for different algorithms to mine via f2pool mining pools.
Hashrate purchased from NiceHash will be shown as a single mining machine after connecting to f2pool. With a standard configuration, f2pool will consider it a standard mining machine and delegate inappropriate mining tasks to it, which will result in a high rejection rate.
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to configure your mining parameters to mine successfully using hashrate rented from NiceHash!
Configuration
You’ll need to configure the following parameters in NiceHash to start mining with f2pool:
Custom pool name: Any name of your choice
Algorithm: The algorithm used to mine your coin (see the table below)
Stratum hostname or IP: An f2pool server URL
Port: The port for the f2pool server
Username: Your f2pool username or wallet address
