Electroneum Mining (not getting paid)

[Superpup]

I just started mining Electroneum using Awesome Miner for my GPU and Electroneum Miner for my CPU, I have created a paper wallet and entered the address in awesomeminer, however when I start mining i get the following error:

Wrong Monero wallet address, "-allpools 1" option will be enabled automatically, read Readme for details.
XMR: 1 pool is specified
Main Monero pool is etn.easyhash.io:3630

In addition I am not seeing any etn in my wallet, even though the various pools I have been mining in say that payment has been made.

Is this normal, I'm new to mining so not quite sure how payments work

Just add the bat file with this parameter -allpools 1
It should look like this:
NsGpuCNMiner -o stratum+tcp://etn.easyhash.io:3630 -u YOUR_WALLET -p x -allpools 1

Why mine to a paper wallet? I'd keep it simple, just create a regular ETN wallet and download appropriate miner for your hardware: xmr-stak-amd miner for AMD cards (or maybe Claymore, though I don't think it's faster), xmr-stak-cpu for your CPU — and start with those.

Think I may have gotten my terminology confused when I said paper wallet. I'm using the wallet program DL'd from the official Electroneum site

Just add the bat file with this parameter -allpools 1

NsGpuCNMiner -o stratum+tcp://etn.easyhash.io:3630 -u YOUR_WALLET -p x -allpools 1

Thanks, if I am using AwesomeMiner, where do I add that text, and is it necessary when the script states that the -allpools is added automatically

I tried mining electroneum for a while but I could never find any blocks, I don't trust any new coin for mining especially if they are not releasing their own mining program. They could be using your hash rate to mine monero and then give you a few useless ETN. They have listed their coin on Cryptopia by paying them, If a coin is not listed by exchanges even without anyone asking for it, Red flag.

Interesting opinion, I know someone who has mined a small amount successfully so personally don't think it's a scam

Of course you couldn't, the network's hashrate was so huge from the start that you'd need your own farm with hundreds or even thousands of GPUs to find blocks solo.

I don't trust any new coin for mining especially if they are not releasing their own mining program.

It's cryptonight, why would they be releasing their own mining program when the algo has been around for years and there's plenty of miners available, both open source and closed source?

They could be using your hash rate to mine monero and then give you a few useless ETN.

Mining ETN has been more profitable than mining XMR since day one. Most of the time it was ~ 25-50% more profitable. Even right now it's ~ 13% more profitable than XMR. Why would they take your hashrate, send your shares to XMR mining, and then pay you more than they'd get from XMR mining? Not only it makes no sense financially speaking, it also doesn't add up if you look at the difficulty charts of XMR and ETN.

Is electroneum minable by phone yet? What kind of hash rate are you getting with your CPU mining?

[wacko]

What kind of hash rate are you getting with your CPU mining?

It's cryptonight algo, the same one that Monero uses, so plenty of benchmarks out there. Whattomine shows cryptonight, and there are more specific sites like monerobenchmarks.info. My overclocked 6700k hashes @ 340 H/s, making ~ 20-25 ETN/day. That's ~ $0.75/day after the electricity costs. Mining on a phone is ridiculous, even desktop CPUs make peanuts, so what would you make with a phone — 1 cent a day?

My two cents--I was pool mining on Suprnova but the first payment never went through. I'm carrying the rest of the balance on my Suprnova account until it does; they said they were having server trouble a few days ago and that it was fixed now, but the transaction still can't be found in the blockchain, so not sure what's going on with that coin. Not knocking Suprnova on this one, everyone I've spoken with about Electroneum has had issues so I think it's just not a reliable mining option right now (at least as far as I can tell, I tried a couple other pools as well and no love). *shrug*

EDIT TO ADD: my link to suprnova's electroneum pool seems to go nowhere now. Hmm...

That sucks, sorry to hear

According to the screenshot below, I have payment, but my wallet is empty. I don't want to publicly display my full wallet address, but I have confirmed it is correct

It was pretty stable for the most part, only the beginning was rough. But right now most pools are having issues again. I didn't even know that suprnova has an ETN pool, just switched my miners to it, let's see whether it's any good. The front-end is sluggish, but at least it's accepting my shares (both electroneum.space and hashparty aren't working for me at all right now).

Nothing unusual. A year ago I read a forum where somebody praised mining on their mobile. He said he had 1 DOGE out of every ten days. :-)

On the topic: I tried more pools, unfortunately it seems that the whattomine calculations  for this coin are from imagination realm, in fact, the yield is at most half

You should use more well known Electroneum pools. Also make sure you are reaching the PAYMENT THRESHOLD. I stay away from suprnova as much as possible because their website's user interface looks really bad. Such a hassle and non-intuitive to use.

Me too, it is a cryptonight algorithm, nothing should hidden behind. And yet this is an ICO coin.

I've had excellent luck with their Monacoin, Zencoin, bitcoinZ, and Einsteinium pools. Their Expanse pool had a payout problem that I think was resolved, can't remember (it wasn't for a lot). Their electroneum pool is the first real bad problem I've had with them, so I'm not judging them solely on it.

Can you even see the frontend? If so, post a link? I just get a white screen when I try to go to it...

So does anyone have any ideas as to why I'm not getting paid. I'm confused as to why, when i start the miner I get a message saying my address isn't a monero address when I'm mining electroneum, and I set up my wallet through the app downloaded from the electroneum website

[zhzz]

I'm mining ETN to the "paper wallet" public id, I thought that's the only wallet there is for ETN. Already got paid (showed up in my dashboard of the pool).

Maybe this video helps:

[Superpup]

Unfortunately no, my pool dashboard show i've been paid, but I have nothing in my wallet. I've checked and double checked the address is correct and that the wallet is synced
