Title: Hello Newbie On Board Post by: kovert on November 19, 2013, 11:20:39 PM Hello all a newbie here . I received my shiny new usb erupter today in the post 10 hours of messing around watching countless videos I got it working
BIG YAY Now my question is - When i want to turn pc off what do i do ? and does my shares in the pool stay there? Hope that makes sense Title: Re: Hello Newbie On Board Post by: BookLover on November 19, 2013, 11:40:19 PM and does my shares in the pool stay there? Yes. 8)When i want to turn pc off what do i do ? You press the power button. :o ;) :o Sorry, I couldn't resist.Hope that makes sense I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you asking if the usb erupter will keep mining when the computer is off? Title: Re: Hello Newbie On Board Post by: kovert on November 19, 2013, 11:47:12 PM just wanted to know if i have to do anything special so the mining (very little I may add) has not been to waste. Also on the website bitcoin.cz it says estimated reward
0.00002228 BTC Then in Unconfirmed reward: 0 how long would it take until I actually mined that ammount Sorry if the questions are basic - Have to learn somewhere i suppose quite liking my new hobby Thanks Title: Re: Hello Newbie On Board Post by: BookLover on November 20, 2013, 02:36:50 AM Your estimated reward is the estimated number of bitcoins you will receive when the pool finds a block.
Rewards cannot be sent to your wallet until they have been confirmed. Explanations on confirmed and unconfirmed rewards can be found here: https://mining.bitcoin.cz/faq/ (https://mining.bitcoin.cz/faq/) (under payouts). how long would it take until I actually mined that ammount You never actually mine any coins*, you simply contribute shares to a pool and then when the pool finds a block it pays you based on the number of shares you submitted.*Unless you get really lucky and find a block. The only difference in this case is you mined the coins from which the pool pays everyone, but you still get payed the same amount. |
