Title: Slush Pool Not Recognising GUIMiner Post by: JoshDog on June 25, 2016, 10:23:43 AM Dear all,
I have just tried bitcoin recently because I mostly just watch youtube videos on my powerful GTX 970 Rig and wanted to make some money while the system is idling. I have followed all of the tutorials I can find and it has lead me to using GUIMiner and Electrum for my wallet. I can connect to the Slush Pool just fine and it happily goes up to 550 MHash/s but, when I log into the Slush Pool, it says that my worker is Off even when it has a Scoring Hash Rate of 0.90 Gh/s (what does this mean?) Here are my GUI Miner settings: http://imgur.com/11bGoJn Am I doing anything wrong? I have followed all of the tutorials on this matter and they all pretty much say the same. I am on Virgin Media in the UK if that helps... Here is the console of GUIMiner: http://imgur.com/HUjpVnH Cheers, Josh Title: Re: Slush Pool Not Recognising GUIMiner Post by: kano on June 25, 2016, 10:43:40 AM Using a GPU will lose you WAY MORE money than you'll ever make with it.
550 MH/s is expected to make around 0.00005 BTC, mining non-stop for the next 100 days Edit: or to put it in perspective with current mining hardware, a Avalon6 is 67,000 times faster than your 'powerful' GPU. i.e. your using a tricycle to race a fighter jet over a 100km race. |
