Title: Reward
Post by: Joe96 on April 25, 2014, 03:45:07 PM
Hello, i just started mining 1 hour ago, i'm a newbie, and i had 1 shares, and an estimated reward of 0.00017571, small amount, it's only 1 share. But now i have two, and my estimated reward is 0. Why?

Then the estimated reward is highly incorrect. What are you mining with?
If you are mining with your computer you're wasting your time.

I have some USB miners if you're interested in an upgrade

Which mining pool are you using?

It makes no difference.

It makes no difference.

Even if you get a share, it doesn't mean you should get paid.
For example, if the pool pays in PPLNS and your share is not in the last N shares, you don't get paid.

I just want to make sure if it is the case.

If it's PPLNS then how can it "estimate" earnings in a round? Unless they have found at least a block, they cannot estimate.
