CIVWhat is going on on
http://civ.lifeforce.info/ ?!?
Mining from the beginning with 20mhs and I'm getting no ANY SINGLE COIN ?!??!
yes you do....
and by the way - just because you throw hash at a certain coin does not mean you're going to get any coins - if the pool you are mining in (regardless of whose pool it is) does not have enough combined hash to find blocks you are not going to earn any coins - you should take a look at the BLOCKS from time to time - if the pool your are mining in has not found any blocks in the last hour then you should make note of this and perhaps go looking for a pool that is finding blocks.
Of course I love to have your hash over at Lifeforce but I have notified a number of people that they are wasting their hashing power mining in a pool all by themselves when they did not not have enough hashing power to find even 1 blocks in 24 hours of mining - that's nuts.
for instance if the network hash is 2,000 Mhs and you are mining alone in a pool with 20 Mh/s then your changes of finding a block all by yourself in that pool are 1 in 100
if the pool has 100 Mh/s and the network hash is 2,000 then the chances of the pool finding a block are 1 on 20
do you get the picture?
You should also research the coin your are mining so that you know how many blocks per hour are minted and how many coins are awarded per block. The estimate given by the pool is just an 'estimate' and does not hold true if the pool does not find any blocks. The estimate can always vary from block to block because network hash varies from block to block with just about every coin. And some coins such as TAG coin don't even report Network Hash to that estimate IS TOTALLY USELESS!
just because you mine in a pool is NO GUARANTEE that you will get coins - it all depends on whether or not the pool has enough combined hash to find blocks.
My basic rule of thumb is 5% - I don't mine in pools that have less than 5% of the network hash. You can make your own decisions.
I do not know if you're the guy named : acimir who posted on the pool chat room that you did not have any coins but - I just checked the forum and you have 8,428.04515754 CIV coins mined, so I'm not sure here your were looking.
I hope this information helps you.
