I am running a blizzard, and as I understand it, it should be about 6 GPU's. I have been running a week now, but it seems I am about another 3 weeks before I hit the pay out threshold. (currently at .00103....)
Am I wasting my time and spinning my wheels?
Yes you are spinning your wheels. Bitcoin difficulty has been way too high, for about 5 years now, to mine with GPU's. Please read the forum rules which explains this. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2415854.msg24714338#msg24714338 |

I dont get any payout for the blocks that I didn't find but I helped to mine?
You did not help anyone else find a block. You can't help anyone else find a block when solo mining. |

Hey.
I've been pointing my cgminer for quite some time to the pool but it seems that I don't receive any shares whatsoever.
Can anyone please shed some light on what's wrong with my cgminer?
You don't receive shares, you send shares. What mining hardware do you have? Maybe post a screen shot of CGMiner? |

I tried to download cgminer 3.7.2
Why are you trying to download such an old version of CGMiner? Perhaps an acute nostalgia for the good old days? :p I fire up an Jalapeno or USB Block Erupter once in a while to watch the CGMiner screen roll by. Ah the good ole days  |

Why are you trying to download such an old version of CGMiner? Dogecoin mining have problem with new versions. CGMiner is a Bitcoin miner not an altcoin miner. There have been forks of CGMiner that mine altcoins. Check in the altcoin section for those forks. |

Could someone please explain what will happen to the pool after the 5th block is found?
Your not referring to the 5ND are you? If so that is different from 5 Blocks. |

If you don't know the answert to my question (or understand it) why did you chime in with you snarky comment.
Because it sounds like your trying to spread FUD and your post made no sense. |

Sometime after that the 6th block will be found. Ok, not very helpful but with some reading between the line of your statement. No reset, and the users who join now will get a share of blocks 5-9? Don't read between the lines of my comment because I have no idea what you are talking about. I suspect that after this pool finds five blocks it will continue to find blocks and continue to run normally. If you want to know how this pool works you need to read the top post and the pools web site. |

4. I see cgminer adjusts miners difficulty by its hashrate,
CGMiner doesn't adjust the difficulty, the pool does. Pools in general do this to limit bandwidth and load on the pool. The solo pool does this to give feedback to miners that they are really mining. It seems miners these days don't believe the hash rate their miner is telling them so they tend to want the feedback from the pool as a verification. |

Increased difficulty does increase variance. Maybe you need a longer sample time. There may be other differences between the two pools too.

So what. Increasing the difficulty of shares the pool accepts decreases the load on the pool and nothing else.
Are these pools Bitcoin pools? You are in the Bitcoin section so the discussion should be on Bitcoin.

I have read in some posts that there is quite a bit of time wasted between when you point your miners to the Kano pool and when they actually begin mining. Is this true? If so why is that?
Uh, no. When you are mining you are mining. Care to elaborate on what exactly your talking about? Or are we supposed to play the guessing game as to what your talking about? I never liked charades. |
