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?
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
