Thank you guys for all the answers! Ill stop mining for now still I get a new computer(because this one is so old that does not pay off buying a new processor, cause I'd have to change the motherboard as well.. ) next week (any advices? ) and try to GPU mining.

And thanks Vivisector999 for the explanation!! Ill keep reading the posts here and searching more mining info too.

mm.. sorry about my english, it's not my first language


Im cpu mining with an old Intel processor (maybe celeron?), which sucks, I know, but as I use a Macbook myself, it is the only option I have at the moment - dont laugh at me 


Yes, the cpuminer reports 1.17 hash/s average and the pool says 1 hash/s.. is that close enough? I also noticed that the "thread" is always 0 , is that correct?


Thanks for your help!

Hi guys,


Ive got a (probably very stupid and obvious) question, and Ive been trying to reach the answer for the past few hours but I just couldn't find it, hehe.

Well, Ive already read almost every "beginners guide to [insert your coin here] mining" but couldnt find a post that explains more about mining/pools. I mean what each thing that appears on the .exe file while you are mining (eg. what does thread mean, whats the real importance of percentage rate what happens when/if it does to 100%, stuff). Would be really nice if someone could explain all of us newbies this kind of stuff so we can understand more about what we are doing instead of just repeating the guide's instructions like trained monkies


Well, the other thing is about doge mining. Ive been doing it since yesterday just for fun and trying to learn how this whole thing works. But at my pool's website, it's said that my "DOGE ACCOUNT BALANCE" is zero!! Ive been mining for almost 24h, is it something wrong w/ this or am I just really stupid and Im trying to see the doge balance on the wrong place or smthg? If anyone could explain more about how the pool works/ how they pay you and stuff like that would be very nice as well.


Thank you very much and sorry about all the stupid questions...

Hey guys, could you explain a little more about the mining process? I mean, I dont understand quite much of whats REALLY happening there..

eg:

Stratum detected new block
Thread 0: 42423 hashes, 4.122 yhash/s

(..)

accepted:135/140 (96.40%), 2.04% (yay!!)



..what happens when it gets to 100%?


Sorry for the silly questions, but I would love to understand more of whats really happening there, lol

Hey guys, I changed pool and worked for me. Maybe its a problem w/ doge.cryptovalley or something..

Im getting a similar error here, but apparently my connection is being refused over and over again.

"Stratum Connection Failed: failed connect to server server1.cryptovalley.com:3333; Connection refused. "


Help ?
