NiceHash Solo Mining Setup — Point Hashrate to SoloFury

Don't own mining hardware? You can rent SHA-256 hashrate from NiceHash and point it to SoloFury for lottery mining. This guide shows you how.

Step 1: Create NiceHash Account

Sign up at nicehash.com and fund your account with BTC.

Step 2: Create a New Order

Go to Hashrate Marketplace → Buy Hash Power. Select:

• Algorithm: SHA256
• Pool: Custom

Step 3: Enter SoloFury Pool Settings

Stratum hostname: bch.solofury.com
Port: 7070
Username: YOUR_BCH_ADDRESS.nicehash
Password: x

Replace bch with the coin you want to mine (btc, bc2, bch2, xec).

Step 4: Set Your Budget

Choose how much hashrate to rent and for how long. More hashrate = better odds of finding a block, but higher cost.

Use the Rental Risk/Reward Calculator on SoloFury to estimate your odds before buying.

Step 5: Start and Monitor

Place your order. NiceHash will find sellers and start directing hashrate to SoloFury. Monitor your worker on the dashboard.

Tips for NiceHash Rentals

• Fixed price orders are more reliable than auctions
• Mine BCH, not BTC — much better odds per dollar spent
• Short bursts (2-6 hours) at high hashrate often work better than long low-hashrate rentals
• Set worker name to something unique (not "NiceHash") to avoid high difficulty overrides
