Tried running the wallet miner on 2 computers. left overnight and not a single tiniest fraction earned on either computer. Yes, I did the debug stuff. How to get a return (any return) from this?
If you're doing solo mining it's luck waiting for a block. If you want more consistent earnings try the pool.
So if I use pool on page 80 with the software linked to there, I should see some results? Seems a bit pointless having it in the wallet tho. I would suggest:
1. Make it easier to access in the wallet - shouldn't need to access via debug console.
2. Make it so you can easily connect to a pool from the wallet (maybe have a few pools in there to choose from)
3. Don't put out a document telling how to use the wallet for mining without making it abundantly clear that you will be waiting for a long time for a lucky block.
Hopefully these things are in the works. great future ahead if they do this I think.
Nope, the cpuminer+pool is NOT run through the wallet. Just like any regular mining program that uses a pool.
If you wan to solo-mine: then use the miner built into the wallet. Solo-mining is still possible if you have a decent CPU.
