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!
f2pool supports merged mining for BTC with FB, HTR, NMC, ELA and NAT, for LTC with DOGE, BELLS, PEP, LKY, JKC, DINGO, SHIC, TRMP, and CRC, and cross-mining for KAS with CAU. You can get these merged mining coins as bonus. A payout address is required to receive each bonus coin, as they will not accumulate in your balance without it. Please refer to this link for more details.
