1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] NERVA: Cryptonight for solo CPU miners. ASIC, GPU, NiceHash resistant on: June 01, 2018, 08:01:05 AM
Hi

I'm new to mining (starting this week) just a bit of hobby to pass the time. I have started mining NERVA and followed the simple guide post earlier for win 10. It has been going for about 24hrs and my wallet shows 0.0000000000. I get that solo is a slow process but compare to other mining i have tried this week normally after a day at least some of the zeros have changed.

Admittedly i am using win 7 not 10 but it seems to be working. I have triple checked the wallet address. Is they a way i check its doing the right thing other than the status option?

Cheers!

Hey there! What is your hashrate it shows when you type status? If you have a hashrate it should be working as far as I know. Don't get discouraged; the thing with mining this coin is that you won't find blocks very often, but when you do it's a big payout; the current block reward is ~65 coins (and total supply is 18 mil). My hashrate is about 370 h/s and I'm finding pretty much 1 block a day on average. So from there you might be able to get an estimate of how long to expect to find a block (for example, with 185 h/s or half of my hashrate, you might expect roughly 1 block every 2 days. Remember this is an average so luck plays a factor; you could easily go a few days without a block, and then find a few in one day sort of thing.

That being said, I just checked and the network hashrate is currently at 1.2 mh/s, which is roughly twice what it was when I wrote the guide a couple days ago.. though it tends to fluctuate a fair bit, the network is definitely growing fast. This just means there are twice as many people trying to mine the same amount of available coins, so you might only find blocks about half as often as I said above, because your portion of the networks hashrate is less, therefore your portion of the rewards will be less.

Hope that helps, if you have more questions consider joining the discord channel, there are plenty of people who know much more than me who are willing to help people out, and the dev is very active there and helpful as well  Wink


Hi Thanks for the reply, everything makes sense now. My hash rate is miles below yours but i have since found a block  Cheesy

I am now confused by the hard fork. Yesterday i noticed the net hash was constantly at 751.22 kH/s and my out connection dropped to 0 from 8. This remained the same all night. This morning i rebooted daemon and now i have 6 connections and the net hash is 65 KH/s. I saw that you need to do an update by today but I only see the binaries. I am on windows not Linux. Do i need to do something else?
