Title: Problem of using bfgminer with pool.btc.com Post by: carfield on February 18, 2022, 02:26:13 PM Hi, I follow this tutorial for BTC mining https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ2hGWpEx0o
I can see "Stratum from pool 0 detected new block" at the output but I don't see there is any credit on my dashboard at https://pool.btc.com/, how can I find out more information for debugging?

When you see that message that means that someone in the network found a block, not you. You won't see any credit on your dashboard, because someone else found the block.

So if you're just running with a few Compac F USB sticks, you are not going to see much credit added when a block is found.

OK, I just watched the video you posted. You're wasting your time and electricity. The video explains how to connect to a pool using the GPU from the Mac M1 to mine Bitcoin with a custom build of bfgminer for mac. This is useless in 2022 where pretty much all the mining in Bitcoin is done with ASICs. Here's a screenshot of the video that shows the hashrate you get, which is about 100MH/s: https://i.imgur.com/vLRmicu.png To put this into context, look at one of those tiny USB miner, the Compac F: https://i.imgur.com/MKFwQFF.jpg These tiny miners give you about 300GH/s. That's three thousand times higher hash rate than what you get from the M1. You won't get any payouts in any pool using a Mac. You simply cannot mine Bitcoin without an ASIC in 2022. |
