Am I doing it right?

[BigBadJohnnyB]

Just wondering if this looks right.

I have an ATI 7950 going at around 570Mh/s - I know others are getting higher, I still need to tune the mining app I think.

My curiosity comes from the Account Status page.

I'm new to this, and as a newb, have maybe 24-30 hours tops of total mine time, while I deal with heat, noise and other tinkering factors. And the girl "doesn't get it" - probably rightfully so. So I've got THAT going for me...

Anyway, when I look at my workers, it ALWAYS shows "Found Blocks" 0.

In all, I've received perhaps .05 BTC total (huge swag there, I realize rounding to the nearest hundredth is a huge rounding error...!) and for that amount of time, on and off, but for periods of 6-10 hours at a time, that number is surprising.

Does this mean MY ACTUAL MINER hasn't found any, or am I missing out on something?

Assuming your pool mining at one of the more popular high hash pools this sounds about right.

Cool page for different card settings on LTC miners: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison

setting are in far right blocks of graph

Thanks for the fast reply.

Actually I've done a bit of tweaking and I think I'm comfortable with these settings - getting around 605M now.

Mainly, the question wasn't so much about the rate, but more about the zero coins. I realize this is a pooled reward by participating as a collective, but I see people turning up coins left and right. They themselves probably don't get much, if anything, for being the actual CPU/GPU responsible for the hash that solved the puzzle (right?) but I still figured I'd see something non-zero.

I don't have a high rate of rejects (one every hour or so) and I am overclocking this puppy, stock voltage +5% and 1200MHz core clock and using -v -w 256 flags. Any higher in the -w and it won't initialize.

Anyway... so 0 coins, that probably refers to my individual stat of not actually solving the problem directly, but I am narrowing the field by getting the junk out the way, at least, for others to find and locate solutions. That's my understanding, anyway...

So your not getting paid anything at all? Should see something coming in a day, not sure without calculating it but 0 doesn't sound right. Should be something like .0025 or whatever for that amount of hasing.

I think my question has been answered by me during on some brain cells. 

Common sense tells me that if mining solo would take a year or so at this rate to find a solution and get the bounty, and by participating in the pool I am taking a share of the work in exchange for small pays throughout the year, then of course I haven't found one yet. 

Sorry - I was merely being an idiot.

I ran my PC in pool for a week and I cold just make .001 bt which is not worth

Heh.  Yep....  

What...? You mean I HAVEN'T mined a $150 coin in 24 hours?!?!?!

Sorry... brain fart.

You're going fine!

Look at http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator and http://dustcoin.com/mining

At 570 mh/s you should get about 0.03 BTC (0.0319 to be exact) per day, so $4.40.
Now that you've got 605 mh/s, you should get about $4.68 per day, so 0.0339 BTC.

Please note that the dollar figures I have are based on the exchange rate at the time of writing, and that the amount mined will change as the difficulty fluctuates/goes higher. Also, remember that those calculators are estimates.

Thanks guys, happy for the replies....

I think I'll just take this puppy to work and bury it in a closet somewhere until the ASICs come out.
