Hi all,
New to Mining. Eyes are weary from reading and attempting comprehension of this new world for me.
I have downloaded the GUIMiner and signed up in Slush's pool with 2 workers.
I have a Bitcoin QT full client for a wallet and of course an address.
I have read the What is Pooled Mining page and researched what I could understand in the posts here.
I have 2 factor authentication enabled.
I set Bitcoin client path and directory
Speed is about 3.7 Mhash/s
- Does it make sense to launch Bitcoin client as a server to solo mine?
- The GUIMiner states I have 1 share accepted - What does this mean exactly?
- How many workers should one create to stand a better chance to find blocks?
- Default for threshold to send reward is at 1.0. Should I leave this as is or change it to something smaller?
- How is Estimated reward for a round determined?
- I closed the GUIMiner on accident and then the share went back to 0 and the Mhash/s reduced to 1.8 -> Can you explain why that happened?
- Anything I missed or could be doing better?
Thanks and if I have not followed forum protocol, please let me know.
Here to learn.Bryan
