Title: Have i set up my worker and mining properly? Post by: jasonsteer on February 19, 2014, 08:31:26 PM Hi,
I am a noob at this so please bear with me. I have registered and set up a worker for Slushes Pool. I have installed Bitcoin Wallet on my windows pc as well as GUIMiner I have setup a Label and receive address in my wallet and have also entered the address into slushes pool for payment I have secured a fixed bitcoin address in slushes pool for security. everything seems to be chugging away fine. i am running at around 99 Mhash/s and have numbers under my Accepted area as well as the Stale area. i have been mining for over 24 hours My Slushes pool tells me i have Estimated, Confirmed, Unconfirmed and Total Reward figures so it looks as though i am mining ok. but when will i see something in my wallet? as it still shows as 0.00 is it because i have not mined enough to make any difference yet? and if so, when can i expect to see anything in my wallet based on my computers 99.9 Mhash/s Thanks in advance ???

I don't know what slush's minimum payout is, probably in the neighborhood of .01 to .001 BTC. My 32Ghs only makes around .003 BTC per day. So 99Mhs will take a long time to reach .01 BTC.

I have since noticed that my threshold for payment was set to 1.0 ::) i have since set it to 0.01 i am now starting to understand. One more question though. 99 Mhash/s is not that great i know, but if i stopped my GUIMiner for several hours, will i loose everything i have done so far on my worker? the problem is, I always keep my PC on 24/7 but need to use it it in the day for certain things, i know this will take me longer to gain BitCoin generation but is it still worth me mining while i sleep?

No, each hash you generate and submit is a complete and separate attempt to solve a block. So you won't loose anything you've already generated and submitted. |
