How do I find out if I mined some real blocks? My miner says 42 mined blocks. Should I just wait and see if anything confirms?  

checkout 127.0.0.1:9980/wallet
or 127.0.0.1:9980/wallet/status

while running the wallet

"Balance":0,"FullBalance":0,

So I guess no mined blocks?

guess so too

also checkout http://127.0.0.1:9980/miner/status
says how many blocks you mined

{"State":"Off","Mining":false,"Threads":1,"RunningThreads":0,"HashRate":0,"BlocksPerWeek":0,"BlocksMined":1,"OrphansMined":0,"Address":"redacted"}

Why does it say Mining:false? The GPU miner is hashing at around 100 Mh/s and seems to have found 1 block.

Ok, just reinstalled the same wallet on 1 rig, and finally it updated to correct block height.... so I guess ill have to do that on the other 2. Wonder why the first installs never updated blockchain? weird. So in reality it would seem I was mining and finding blocks but on what blockchain then? so many questions lol

Not sure what will become of the 210 blocks I showed found? oh well glad I have some that have confirmed in my first wallet.  

Lets all keep wading through this mess lol, keeps it interesting I guess

So as of now those 3 show block heights equal to blocks found, ok any suggestions then? lol

oh. Our bootstrap node was blocking multiple connections from the same IP. We fixed it, you should try running your nodes again.

Normal nodes only accept 1 peer per certain IP-address range, this prevents DoS attacks and network-isolation attacks. The boostrap node should not do this though.

We've reset the bootstrap node, you should try syncing again.

Ok, got 1 rig up to date, but after reinstalling wallet. But that may just have been perfect timing with changes at your end lol I will go out to my mining shed and see if those wallets are syncing.

THX for that tidbit of info  

PS: I would have had 4 connections same IP

Sorry that's a confusing bit of information. Mining:false is talking about the CPU miner, not the GPU miner. 'BlocksMined' talks about blocks mined by both the gpu miner and the cpu miner. 'BlocksMined' resets every time you restart Sia.

Blocks take 144 confirmations before you get the money. That usually takes 24 hours, but the early network is going faster (difficulty still needs to adjust - it's up 15x already but has more adjusting to do).

Check back at block height 2100 and see if you've got any coins.

theres a bug where gpu miners show totally unrealistic block gains from one moment to the other - check you wallet and see whats in there
you should be able to copy the wallet.dat file from old wallet to fixed one and see what it shows (might require more than just that file from that directory)

All 4 should be okay now. Let me know if they don't seem to be working still.

I have had the problem that the gpu-miner crashes every now and then so I made a short .bat to restart the miner every 20 minutes. Just save as .bat file with notepad and put it in you miner directory.

Code:

:loop                              
start sia-gpu-miner.exe
timeout /t 1200 >null               
taskkill /f /im "sia-gpu-miner.exe" >nul   
timeout /t 7 >null                  
goto loop

was hashing with 350 MH that's the block count when I got up and looked at them. I have 1,792.3 confirmed KS in this wallet here. Not sure how many blocks that represents... I guess in coins that's 1792. x 1000 sia? still figuring this all out 

That's about 6 blocks.

Doesn't the front page say each block is 300,000 reward (slowly decreasing of course) but 1792 / 6 = 300 coin reward?

We've got an FAQ page. It's only 3 questions right now, but if there are things you think should be added just let me know.

As people keep asking the same questions over and over I'll expand the FAQ.

Guys this is so much fun!
My 280x is hashing at 670 Mh/s, I think I can go past 1 GH/s :-)

Not even whirlpoolx was so rewarding!

Would really appreciate it if you could share your settings. I am hashing with only about 100-112 Mh/s with my 280x

Yes finally all 4 are showing correct block height and 4 or more peers!.

I did have to reinstall wallets on all the 3 in question. Took a couple of PC reboots as well to get them to sync. Before I reinstalled, I copied the appsdata folder and after new wallet install, I replaced appsdata with original folder. On one pc after I restarted miner, suddenly it caught up to show 112 blocks found, which was the amount I had showed before reinstall? Not sure how or why that is, but the wallet is staying in sync fine now and has peers showing, whereas before I had only the amount of blocks mined showing as block height and zero peers. I don't think I will ever see those blocks found however because I was mining in an un synced wallet.

Will keep ya posted on what it does going forward, but that would explain why the last 3 rigs I set up before going to bed in a hurry did not sync. apparently?

That's sounds about right. I am getting 105 MH on a 7970 which is basically the same GPU as your 280x  

95 on my 7950's

Not sure who or how someone is seeing 670 MH on a 280x, has to be incorrect ?

Yeah but he is getting 670 Mh/s with his 280x which is 6 times so much.

I just edited my quote, but I would have to see it to believe it sorry 670 MH? Don't think so..... 

[bitcoinreviews]

Well, currently mining at 240 MH across 3 rigs. All are finding blocks. One has a dual card setup and it is only seeing one card as expected. Tomorrow Ill play around with it and see if a way to fire up second card.

ok, debating on adding rig 4, a Radeon 7970  

I've got rigs, instructions please?

[Jayjay04]

0,27 Mh/s on a 6950... big crap !

Modified miner and mostly rewritten opencl code. Still a work in progress. Power use is almost doubled.
