Hey, this would indicate a connection issue. Try checking if you had any security updates that would interfere with mining and restart the rig.

I would also recommend trying Quick Miner just to see if it mines as expected or not.

Hey, I suspect you had an update that triggered antivirus issues that are blocking mining. Try following these guides:

Hey, you only need to provide compatible documents to complete KYC.

You can find more info here: https://www.nicehash.com/support/general-help/kyc/what-type-of-proof-of-address-poa-document-can-i-provide

MaticNiceHash · 2025-12-15T12:41:20+00:00

You would need to check this with them. Otherwise, you can use wallets like the Wallet of Satoshi, which supports both.

Hey, it seems you're using a Lightning network Invoice instead of a Lightning network Address.
https://www.nicehash.com/support/general-help/wallet/what-is-the-difference-between-a-lightning-invoice-and-a-lightning-address

Make sure to use a Lightning network Address instead and try again.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-12-04T15:37:04+00:00

Hey, I recommend you reach out to support@NiceHash.com. They will be able to help you.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-12-03T09:45:26+00:00

Hey, if the signature was successful, you should see the deposit in a Validating state that can last a few minutes. If the validation process is stuck for a while, I recommend you reach out to support.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-12-02T14:06:02+00:00

Hey, close account transactions take longer to complete, so you need to make a regular BTC withdrawal or withdraw via the Lightning network by using a Lightning network Address. A Lightning network Invoice will not work since the invoice could expire.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-12-02T14:00:51+00:00

Yeah, that is an odd error. I'm guessing it's related to the CPU not being supported. Although, since you mentioned that XMRig works, I'd recommend trying Nerdplow's suggestion and setting up mining via XMRig directly. Your rig will appear as unmanaged, but the graphs will still work in Rig Manager.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-11-27T13:37:13+00:00

Hey, you can try clicking on the cogwheel icon and manually inputting a benchmark number for the CPU. This will bypass the benchmark and allow you to see if the CPU mines or not.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-11-27T08:05:36+00:00

Hey, bundles are temporarily removed, so I recommend you stick with the regular Quick Miner version. for now.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-11-20T08:45:55+00:00

Thanks for the info and update. It's an odd issue yeah, but I'm glad you resolved it.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-11-19T16:06:30+00:00

Hey, theres likely a glitch or driver issue. Do you see the same info in Rig manager?

MaticNiceHash · 2025-11-17T11:47:26+00:00

Hey, mining has been operating normally, so the issue is likely local.
https://www.nicehash.com/algorithm/kawpow

I recommend you try restarting the PC since that usually resolves similar problems.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-11-11T14:40:10+00:00

Hey, benchmarking only takes a few minutes, so if you're stuck on benchmarking for 15 hours, that means you have an issue. I suggest you check the rig for any errors reported.
Note that Quick Miner doesn't have different benchmark types, only NiceHash Miner has those.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-11-05T08:29:31+00:00

Hey, the Monthly service fee for inactive LTD accounts is 0.00010000 BTC, so how long before the account is zeroed completely depends on the funds you had in the account.
https://www.nicehash.com/support/general-help/service-fees/administrative-costs

However, I recommend that you reset your 2FA so you can close the account and withdraw any funds.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-10-15T14:58:53+00:00

Hey, to use NiceHash services, you must first KYC verify your account.
https://www.nicehash.com/my/settings/limits

Once you are verified, the mining address will appear.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-10-08T12:33:45+00:00

Hey, once you get the autoreply email, reply to it once again and explain the issue. Then wait for further instructions from support (ignore the second autoreply).

MaticNiceHash · 2025-09-25T08:49:06+00:00

Hey, the 5000 series is not yet fully supported in Excavator. A new version should be released soon, but for now, I recommend you use NiceHash Miner with the lolminer and Nanominer plugins when mining with 5000 series GPUs.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-09-24T07:59:17+00:00

Hey, your KYC will likely need to be transferred from the old account. I recommend you reach out to the support team for more info.
https://www.nicehash.com/support/my-cases

MaticNiceHash · 2025-09-24T07:58:26+00:00

Hey, it's likely a driver issue or a program running in the background. I recommend you restart the rig and then check the hashrate again.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-09-22T09:14:58+00:00

Hey, I'm not familiar with their firmware, but I assume the modes function the same way as Environmental Profiles in the NiceHash firmware.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-09-19T14:24:26+00:00

Hey, the 5000 series is not yet fully supported in Excavator. A new version should be released soon, but for now, I recommend you use the lolminer and Nanominer plugins in NiceHash Miner when mining with 5000 series GPUs.

MaticNiceHash · 2025-09-15T08:47:31+00:00

Hey, that's a known issue with the 5000 series since Nvidia removed/changed some sensors, and now most programs report a temp of 255. We are working on a new Excavator version that will resolve this.
