Hi, I'm mining for the first time, on Slush as it was frequently recommended. Still haven't got my head around the rewards systems. I've been running at 1.6Gh/s for about 10 hours, and the rewards are so far pretty low. I'm assuming this has to do with the scoring. How long should I wait until the reward rates are more representative?

The rewards are low as compared to what? how much do you expect to get from 1.6Gh/s in ten hours when the whole pool is about 20Th/s? I'm runing about 3.6Gh/s and my 7 day average output is currently .085 btc per day at your rate you can expect about .04something a day.

Yup, that's about what I was expecting to be getting according to http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/. Right now, confirmed reward plus estimated for the round is 0.0072, which would work out at 0.017 for 24 hours. I figured it might take a while to gain score

It's just an unlucky spell - what you get per round will stay similar, we should be getting more rounds though.

give it 24hrs - take a reading and look at the 24hr pool luck (if pool luck is at 60%, then what you earned is 60% of what you would earn on a normal day).

Sometimes pool luck can be around 160% - take that into account aswell.

happy mining

K.

Cheers. I'll check it again tomorrow.

To be sure, my system lost connection three times. Once for a few seconds, the other for about 2 mins, and the other about 10-15 mins. Not sure if that would have cost me significantly, but I'm getting the impression not.
