No Apparent Mining Success



  • @FatBurns basic question what pool are you mining on. this will help in determining when you should be getting paid and also tells what kind of deadline that pool is set for.

  • Hi All.

    Thanks for your help.

    I am mining on burst.lexitoshi.uk and have been on that pool for about 4 days.

    My Burst address is BURST-6V5Z-VHUD-X7AS-9YQ6Z

    Looks a little light on the confirmed deadlines but other times there is a lot of green!

    Just noticed the Network Quality has dropped to 65% - Not sure what that means.

  • His pool is down I am contacting someone!



  • Meant to add, the 280 GB is just to try out the process before I invest in something a little larger.



  • Here's what I have learned very quickly-

    It's not about actually confirming a deadline that only matters it's the time of that deadline that matters as well. I looked at your confirmed deadline and it was 25days- that's going to only get you a very very very small piece of the pie in your mining pool. So to make bigger payouts you are going to need to have better deadlines. The only way to do that is to have more mining HDD space. Sometimes it's better to jump in a pool then to slowly creep in. Honestly times ticking every day and if you want a lot of coin you got to go big (or as big as you can) or it just isn't worth the time



  • The rewards for 280GB are almost inexistent. I personally used to mine with 4TB and was getting around 80 burst every 2-3 days.

    I was getting a few DLs per block has well. You might want to increase your mining capacity by a lot to start to see a decent income



  • Hi SilverSlonny and shbour

    That's just about the conclusion I was coming to. The idea that you can mine with "spare" hdd capacity is un true in any meaningful sense, but I wanted to test the principle before investing too much money into it. I really didn't expect to get rich from 280 GB but was just looking for confirmation of the principle.

    I suppose the question now is, is it better to spend money on buying drives, or to invest that money in buying (rather than mining) Burst?



  • @FatBurns consider trading assets or investing in a mining asset.. 230gb is very low to mine with .. 1tb + would be recommended for some spare burst as it does not harm pc or really boost electricity costs..
    the assets are really cool here.



  • @darindarin Thank you I willl look into that. I must admit though my urge is still to mine. Maybe a bit of the Hairy Hunter still inside...



  • Thank you so much for this thread.. I am a newbie and was wondering the same things. You have confirmed that I am doing things rights. I just need more HDD space. In the meantime I will continue to do what I have been doing until such time I can get more HDD space...
