Do you know how to use mining calculators? You shouldn't the mining RVN in the first place because it's less profitable for your gpu,  Nicehash pays out in BTC why can't you just stick with Nicehash? Also Nicehash can switch between the most profitable coin to mine too

So I have been messing around trying to learn about GPU mining for the past month or 2.

after playing around with a few methods I have settled into mostly using Nicehash and then the software suite from 2miners, mostly for RVN (kapow) and ETH (t-rex).

Nicehash seems straightforward, easy to setup (Laptop with a 1650ti is running the full suite, Desktop with a 3070 currently only runs the quickminer when I go that route).  My main concerns about this way of mining is finding the best ways to move the rewards out of nicehash and into either a wallet or exchange or bank account the best/cheapest way (Canada).  Any tips on this would be appreciated, I have tested a few methods but havent settled on a 'best way' so far.

My main issue I am having while mining is running the 2miners software.  I tried RVN miner (kapow) on the laptop and desktop, and let it run for over a day.  When I checked my wallet address online it would show the stats successfully (number of workers, rate of income, etc).  Once I reached the required 10RVN for a payout, it seemed to send to my wallet no problem.  I recieved the 10RVN.  I was currently at 6 RVN left in that account, and I was wanting to test mining ETH so I swapped the 3070 to t-rex miner, mining to my personal ETH wallet.  This again I had no issues with, the stats now showed up on 2miners.com for both my RVN and my ETH wallet.  I swapped the laptop back to Nicehash for the rest of the day, to try to start tracking differences in income etc.

TL/DR : Stopped mining RVN coin on 2miners for a day, had 16RVN, it sent me the 10min payout, now when I try to mine again (2 days later) the site doesnt recognize my wallet and shows 0 stats?

Any Idea what I may be doing wrong?  Also, what kind of rules do pools have for starting/stopping mining... Right now I am mining ETH for 2miners.com and am getting closer to my first payout but am scared to restart my pc, in case the site suddenly 'forgets' I ever mined for them.  I checked the .bat files and my wallet address and rigname all seem to be correct, nothing has changed, I just cant find my RVN coin mining stats, or mine to my RVN wallet anymore?

Thanks for any help in this/tips anyone may have!

(PS, I know mining on a laptop is a bad idea, its getting RMA'd under full warranty soon, so I am just using it as extra learning til I send it away Smiley
