Hell Jcriss, this is on the wrong board. Move this thread to Mining (Altcoins). (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0)
Move the topic there, just look upon the button on the left side below.

it looks like your miners are hashing and reporting shares.


Look at your mining pool to see if you have been the finder of any blocks or what your credits are for.

for instance in the first photo, you see info for
A: accepted shares (total)
R: rejected shares (total)
HW: Hardware errors (total)
WU: Workunits processed

your shares accepted are going to be at the stratum issued difficulty or higher;  a block could be substantially greater than that.

I suggest looking into how the different pool systems work to get a feel for what you are doing when mining to a pool (PPS, PPNS, PPLNS, etc) and what shares are for; because they apply weather you are finding the block or not.

I am willing to bet you are working off a stratum assigned difficulty, and not the actual block/network difficulty for your submitted shares which is why you have submitted shares.  Doing research above like I mentioned, and it will make this clear.

My understanding is the best share diff greater than/equal to network Diff=solved block.
I have only mined for bitcoin in the past, after the bitmain antminer rush.

I really dont understand much in the gpu world

Thanks for your info JaredKaragen

P.S. I'm solo mining

yeah, I could tell by the pool stratum, etc....

The whole idea of the pool using less than network diff shares, is so it can calculate your hashrate and averages to give you mining statistics;  if the share was at network diff, you would know nothing about the mining statistics till it reported a block.


Just gotta let it keep on goin, and see how long it takes.

you can also check for web mining calculators to see how much time [estimated] it would take your your hashrate to find a block at current diff....

Your hashrate is too low, it will not solve blocks due to unstable internet or due to low hashrate.

Why not mine with shares not solo mining I have experience mining RVN with solo it the same result as yours.

Try this pool https://beepool.org/coindetail/rvn then choose PPLNS instead for lower fee.

that is a KNOWN bug in sgminer for certain algos
check pool for any blocks solved, and the miner where it says "solved blocks" when you exit it and it shows stats
you wont find a block likely with a single GPU

So a known "BUG"

I know chances of getting hit by lightning twice before hitting a block with a single block with a single gpu.

but thats my luck
thanks
