Title: Ethereum mining not receiving rewards
Post by: kn3z on September 16, 2016, 07:11:29 AM
I recently changed my GPU from NVIDIA GTX 960 to AMD Radeon RX480, and due to driver issues with OpenCL I needed to reinstall Windows. After this, I no longer receive any rewards from the pool. I can see my hashrate, but I am not getting any rewards.

I've tried switching miners (I use OpenCL miner 0.9.41, but I got the same thing with Genoils, Claymores and QtMiner), changing pools, deleting the DAO files but no change.

What am I missing here?

GPU: SAPPHIRE AMD RADEON RX 480, 8GB DDR5
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise x64
Miner: OpenCL 0.9.41
Miner config:
Code:
ethminer -G --cl-global-work 16384 -F [POOL]@[ADDRESS]@[RIGNAME]

If you reinstalled windows and deleted your Eth wallet file then you need a new wallet file and a new address. Unless you saved your wallet address and secret words.

Try connecting to the dwardpool ethereum pool, I have been mining there for 2 weeks and get consistent payouts every 4 hours like clockwork.

Where's your pool address in your configuration?

 You're not telling your miner WHERE to connect to.

I mine directly to my wallet address at an online exchange.
This is the actual command from the .bat file:

Code:
ethminer -G --cl-global-work 16384 -F http://pool.eth.pp.ua/?miner=22@0x6edac17006cf48b567818a92b90902407a0115f3@the480

Just in case anyone ever stumbles across this thread with a similar problem:

What eventually solved my problem was switching to Genoil's miner (Ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.1.6).

Still don't know what caused it.
