Title: why am i mining 9 cents in 1.5 days?
Post by: budthatsmyrealname on January 24, 2018, 07:55:23 PM
can someone tell me why in the title?

im hashing 115mh/s, i have 2 1070 and 2 1070ti all averaging about 28 to 29mh/s. i didnt mess with any of the settings except the overclocking. so it is mining sia and eth. it wont connect to sia pool so its only mining eth. because i just joined simple mining os, i have a 3 day trial, but it says my balance is .20$ (im guessing that means 20 cents) so based off of that it looks like it only mined 9 cents in 1.5 days. whats going on?

hey, thanks for responding, i really appreciate the help. its really frustrating trying to troubleshoot

all the pool settings are stock. primary is dwarfpool, then secondary is ethpool and the third is the sia coin

Not to hijack this but Phil have you ever considered putting a link to the Sidehack's project that you are referencing?  :)

For one, take SIA out of the equation, as there is now an ASIC miner for it, so you will be literally losing money mining it.  To fully figure out what is going on, take a couple of screenshots of  your pool worker stats

Also, I don't use Simple Mining but in that screenshot it says "Fee Balance."  Simple mining charges $2 per month per rig, so after a day and a half, 11 cents of fee accumulation sounds right.

Don't mine eth... This isn't good choice for your cards.

I think 1070 is good for ETH.

Well without clicking that shady link and just by reading the title

I am assuming this guy is mining Bitcoins with his GPU. Still pretty impressive to earn 9 cents of BTC per 1.5 days with GPUs.

yes, i dont want to mine etherium with these cards because i know the rx are better at that. i been mining eth because i cant change the settings. when i click "console" all it does is spin. is it because i need to pay the $2 in full? or what?

why dont you stick for the beginning with windows? its easier to start, and the performance is the same...linux is not faster


Title: Re: why am i mining 9 cents in 1.5 days?
Post by: budthatsmyrealname on January 24, 2018, 09:25:12 PM
i dont know how to do that. i chose simple miner because it seemed easier. but the problem isnt windows or linux or simple miner

I think you are joking but I'm not sure. You know that the money you see up there is not what you made but the balance you have to use smos right?

it started at 0.20$ the moment i started and the more i mine the less it goes down. so i thought that meant i owe that money. i dont think i said that was money i made

are you sure all of your GPUs are mining with a proper drivers?

before getting involved in mining you better learn some basic things:
1) how to install windows
2) install GPU drivers
3) overclock your GPUs
4) start with nicehash
5) learn more about different algos/miners and how to set it up
6) learn more about mining profitability on different algos/coins for your cards
Thats the basics which can be easily found on google, or youtube, or siri whichever is easiest for you
