https://mint.maxminers.net1000 MNT Bonus per Block Finder !!! Hi MaxMiners! Ok.. bare with me, I'm completely new. (I decided to try mining after I got owned buying MAX..). So I got some cards, just a couple weeks late to the party
and I want to try mining MINT. I got all setup and have been mining on this pool since last night (bobbyMint).. is it really that hard to pull in coins now?
Diff is already quite high, that makes it take a bit longer to get some coins, but once we find a block you'll get a good reward.
I can see in the "pool" area, it showed like 90,000 MNT/day.. so this is an estimate I assume? We don't actually get any coin until at least one of us on the pool finds a block.. correct? (at that point it goes into the rounds/shares/etc to determine amount). I guess I spent a few days mining MAX at 1gh and was consistently pulling same avg per hour and per day.. this is bc they are so huge and I'm normally part of new block discovery, where as 21 miners on maxminers - a lot less to split the goods, but much harder to find a block? So it could be we get lucky and find 4 blocks in one day.. or mine nothing at all for a few days.. ? Sorry for such newbie questions.. I'm trying to get up to speed as quick as possible.. I am bummed I didn't start at launch on either coin, I wonder if another will come along worthwhile to try.. In the meantime I hope to get some MINT.. so far in about 12 hours I've pulled ~10,000 MINT with 2.6M/h .. seems way short compared to the millions I've seen other state (which I"m sure they got by mining at the beginning and not starting late like me..)
You are absolutely correct here, yes, it is an estimate and we were quite unlucky with our last blocks but should get more blocks soon as luck comes back.
Just want to make sure I understand, would it be good to try other pools, does it matter? Is it all luck?
Yes it is the pools luck. A pool that is unlucky for quite some time should get luckier in the next time so I'd rather stay with a pool which was unlucky in last time than one which was very lucky - it flattens out over time.
I won't ask the same wallet question as everyone else, because I am only running 'mincoind' from command line. I does give me a wallet address, and does show my new balance after transactions - so I assume this is good (and "in sync").. is there any way for me to see when my 20 days goes by/etc from this, or do I need to fire up mintcoin-qt to get all the info? While mining MAX I just setup wallet on an exchange, so this is actually my first experience with a wallet too. Running ubuntu 12.10 btw..
You probably need a qt client for this, yes.
Thanks for being nice. I hope to be around for awhile more.. I have enjoyed reading all your comments and trying to suck it all in.. what a great time to start cryptos, right? lol BTC scares.. MTGOX, MAX 51% due to 1gh pool, pump and dumps, etc .. and btw, I bought 3btc of MAX at .01 .. yep, I'm a noob. What is the next coin I can try to mine from launch that might be worthwhile? TIT? lol
We like TITs too ;-)
