trying out mining and am using the windows miner. it reports it has mined 1 block so far. I know there's a 144 confirmation requirement for new coinbase transactions but i'm pretty sure it has been over a day now. is there anyway to check on the blockchain for the two addresses I have, according to my 0.3.3 gui, so see if the coins have been in fact credited to one of these accounts albeit in an unconfirmed state? the current blockexplorer does seem to support queries by addresses and the windows miner output is very sparse so i dont even know what block height it successfully mined.

Blocks are coming in slow right now because of the difficulty explosion so it may not have reached the 144 blocks.

You can check out
explore.siacoin.com

for addresses but that's not going to give you much info about blocks you've mined (at least that I know of).

It's better if you go into the
resources>>app>>sia
folder

open command prompt in the folder and run the following

siac miner status

That will show you how many blocks you've mined along with any false positives


thanks! I'll give that a try now.

does report the 1 blocked mined but no other info on the actual block itself. i do think you are right about the slow block times and guess I'll need to wait a bit longer. how frequently does difficulty retarget itself? and anyone got a clear understanding about the use of "-C" switch in the windows miner? do i need to adjust this beyond the default value of 30? I'm playing around with 2 x r9 270 miners at the moment.
