There are some things for you to consider.
Your capacity suggests you should be on a pool.
The pool you should be on needs to be as close to your geographical location as possible.
You need to select a pool that supports your capacity by looking them up in the forum.
Your computers system clock needs to be correct give it a manual internet update.
Mining on a pool is like joining a game server: the closer the less lag.
Joining several pools say once PER day will eventually find you an opening that brings profit. From your screenshot I see below average read rate if your hard drive plug has a white tongue in it and not blue it is usb 2 which is slower than usb 3 which has a blue tongue in it. Same as usb socket on your pc. In such a case a manual config of your miner to increase cache size can improve speed slightly and can utilise up to 1 gigabyte of RAM. The glass border on you screenshot suggests you use either windows vista or 7 I have heard they impact on miners efficiency ; windows 10 oem keys can be obtained cheapily on ebay.

@gmoney post your miner.conf file.
-
where is it located i can not find the folder?
-
@ZapbuzZ ive tried about 5 or 6 diffrent pools some be very small and i still didnt get a deadline and i have a usb 3
-
@gmoney C:\Users<your windows id>\AppData\Roaming\BurstWallet\miner-burst-1.160705
Easiest way to get there is Start -> Run, enter %appdata%

@gmoney That config doesn't match the screen shot in your initial post - different drive letters, different pools
-
oh ok so what would i change to make it work?
-
@gmoney Well, which one is correct ? Do you have just the F: drive from the screen shot, or all the drives in the config ?
-
no my plots are only on my f drive
-
haha so all you have to do is change it just to your dive thats plotted?
-
that screenshot shows you used the burst wallet to fire up your miner. It is pre configured to every hard disk in the alphabet it cannot cause harm; allows the miner to find the plot. Changing this config file will be overwritten when starting the miner from the wallet. (unless you've copied the miner folder to another location and start it manuallywithin that copy) I need to ask, what is your internet connection is it DSL , GSM (2g, 3g, 4g ... simcard)
etc?
-
ok so dont start eh miner in the wallet and it is dsl
-
my address has never appeared on a pool webstie either
