Title: Slush's pool help
Post by: onemannewspaperstand on March 02, 2014, 12:23:58 AM
So I have just recently stared mining, I use Slush's pool, using an msi 7950 GPU at about 500 Mhash/s.  I noticed that on mining.bitcoin.cz the only number going up was my estimated reward, the unconfirmed reward, confirmed reward, and total reward all stay at zero.  Also, my estimated reward number only stays around 0.00001500 BTC.  Am I doing something wrong?  I also have it connected to a bitcoin wallet and is STILL synchronizing with network. PLEASE HELP  :) (Sorry if this is a stupid question, bitcoin is difficult to understand)

You're doing three things wrong.

1.  You're mining BTC with a GPU and expecting some payouts
2.  You're mining at Slush's
3.  You're not posting in Slush's pool thread.

 :P


With a 7950 you should be mining at some of the scrypt pools that do auto conversion to BTC, like Wafflepool, and Scryptguid.  Mining BTC directly at 500kH is just turning electricity in to heat and noise for no other gain.
