Title: Generated 0.00
Post by: inertia on December 12, 2010, 12:28:33 AM
It's been a long time since I've generated any bitcoins on my Mac, and that's one thing.  I understand it has to do with difficulty index and popularity.  Stuff like that.

But I don't know what to make of this:

I'm on Bitcoin 0.3.17 (Mac).

Did you use the pool mining service at all? If so your share of contributions may be less than 0.01 and the bitcoin client is displaying it as 0.00 due to rounding.

The pool mining service just happens to run on the same machine.  But the payment address did not come from the client in question.

And besides, I wouldn't expect the pool mining service to cause any "Generated" message in anyone's client.  Wouldn't it just come in as a regular payment?

Is there a keyword I should look for in Bitcoin.app debug.log file?

It does show up as "generated". I'm sure that you did use an address from that client for pool mining

Did you use an address from that computer for just a few minutes? That would also explain the low amount.

As Theymos said, it definitely does show up as generated on all clients that participated. Do any of the address with amounts less than 0.01 in this block look familiar?

Ok, I think I see the address I might have used for testing a while back.  Wow, this pool really does remember everyone who contributes. ;D

Hmm, mine currently says "Generated (0.60 matures in 27 more blocks)" but then says 0.00 under the Credit column, I assume this is just because the amount isn't added to the balance yet. Is this what is happening for you too maybe? Or maybe it is the rounding thing.

It's because the block hasn't matured yet. It should display the amount after that.
