Title: Question about Slush´s pool - Total noob here :3
Post by: Zahavi on October 29, 2013, 07:50:51 PM
Hey there fellow BTC users :-)..

I recently stated mining, with an SUPER old, home made money machine (2008 HP desktop aka. "Old Lady") and so far im going with 6 Mhash/s and im useing Slush´s pool ;)...

But my question is - Why does i dont recive any BTC at all :S? It shows on the "Estimated reward" but dosent show up on "Unconfirmed reward" or "Confirmed reward" afterwards...
 
I know there will be a few peps flameing "Omg check forum for other posts", "Go google it" and stuff, but im REALLY new to this BTC stuff, so if someone would be abel to assist me it would be sweet :D

(You can check my fresh board on my recent posts, if you like)... :D

TY FOR ANY ANSWERS ;)

You probably don't have any bitcoins because 6mh/s isn't enough to make any bitcoins.

Sorry bud, you can't mine with 6mh/s any more  :-\

Just remember to check the minimum payout value of whatever pool you mine at. Mining with any graphics card at this point probably isn't enough to reach the minimum payout limit.

You might give some altcoins a shot though, some can be mined with CPUs and GPUs only. Special ASIC bitcoin miners have squeezed all the profit margin out of gpu mining.

You might not be getting any shares, but if you are, you may have to wait for the block to have 120 confirms before it is payed out.

even 5 gpus is nto enough for bitcoins.
you cant do GPU/CPU farming on it anymore. a Cheap USB ASIC miner will possibly outperform your expensive setup.
