Title: How do I know if I am mining already?
Post by: Fin on June 08, 2013, 12:40:53 PM
I am running guiminer for 12 hours already in Slash's pool but I have not received any shares yet (not even stale ones). I wonder if I have everything properly set up.

  • My wallet has finished updating.
  • GUIminer shows that I have a speed of 799 khash/s.
  • Last messages in console are as follows:

It's not mining. Re-check the stratum URL, because it isn't connecting to the node (server).

Looks ok. Are you seeing shares coming in?

Let us know how much the share was worth.

Nice to see its working, but mining with a APU isn't very cost effective.

terman45x,
According to my statistics, 1 share for me equals 0.00000148 BTC. Projected return for the year - 7 USD :DDD
The worth per share would be 20 times higher if I received rewards for all my shares :/ I still don't know why for some of share batches I receive absolutely nothing.

icey,
I have no delusions of big money, because I do not plan to invest in any additional HW. However, after changing to the other device and adding flags things got a little better :)

799 khash/s isn't a lot.
