I just started this today, and to be honest I have no idea how this really works. I have been mining since around 1 pm (almost 6 hours). I have a NVIDIA card (4 gig) gtx 680 FTW, which shows to be getting between 114-117.6 Mhash, however my account info only shows 80Mhash. I also notice the more shares (currently 420) I have the lower my estimated reward drops.

80MH/s sounds about right for a high end Nvidia, hope you got free electricity or you will be paying a lot for the bit dust you mine. good luck Grin

and welcome to the pool.

Hopefully it won't up my bill much, but if so I guess this will just be an occasional thing.

one card wont up it much, maybe 3 to 5 bucks per month to earn the 30 cents a month in BTC. those other posts above got the right idea, you want cheapest, low power consuming devices. the most hash power for the lowest electricity.

You should consider at least just starting with a USB block erupter. For $30 you can get 300mh/s and don't need to worry about burning out the GPU. Back in early November a USB erupter was $10, either way it's better than beating on the GPU, assuming the computer has some alternate uses other than mining...

I would say getting an ANT Miner is a better option, they don't cost a great deal more but they have a much better hashing power.

Hello everyone!

I am mining for some weeks now as a Hobby, and i am really hooked right now with the whole matter.

My 7.6GH Mining Rig right now are 4 Block Eruptors and 3 BitFury Devices, hooked to an old HP Laptop that i stripped of the HDD(Boots from SD-Card), the second RAM module and underclocked from 1.6 to 1GHz. I Installed a Bare Debian Wheezy on it and i am using cgminer 3.8.4 on it.

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank all of you here. I read the forum everytime the pool acts a little strange and so far all my questions have been answered before i could even ask them.

so, happy mining guys!

Might be worth you looking at a RaspberryPi with MinePeon as your miner. I will use less power than an HP laptop and will be quieter.

Can I do a one time cashout? My balance is below threshold but haven't got a miner anymore. Cheers

you could sell your account, or rent some Gh Roll Eyes

what device are your trying to mine with, and what software are you referencing. let me see if I can walk you through it.

Slush Is there a way to get my NMC paid out to my old wallet? NALFUse84Fakcz9XBGUg5jGog5A1u5hx9A

Since Slush doesn't support NMC anymore, if you don't have enough for a payout, you might as well just right it off as a loss.

I'd been with him pool for nearly a year, I just never created a NMC wallet at that time, when i logged in recently to put in my NMC Wallet I couldnt find it..

if you didn't put in a namecoin wallet address at the time, then you didn't earn any. it has been posted many times here, way back since merged mining was implemented.

NMC had only been distributed amog those who had their NMC wallet address set.
OTOH, they had only been produced by GetWork protocol users...

it was cool at the very beginning of merged mining namecoin because so many people didn't register a namecoin address that those who did received their portion from the entire pool. example like if 1000 miners in pool and only 100 addresses registered we got 10 as much as could have if everyone registered. so thanx for the NMC, I sold all 600 two years ago at the all time high of 0.01USD each

Open a support ticket about it. Slush and admins don't check this forum anymore for support issues.
