hey i figured it out. this can be closed. thanks for your help

how do i check that i mine on ethermine.org. here is my .bat file

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0

setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100

setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0xb2c10ac3e5dfc30744a245902577dfdb763aef4c.miner1 -epsw x -mode 1

yes i am mining on a pool

i'm using etherscan to view my wallet id to see if it is working after 1 week of mining. I use mist to sink my wallet. here is my wallet id. why does it not show any ether? 0xb2c10ac3E5Dfc30744a245902577dFdB763Aef4C

Does all of this look good?

wow. amazing help. thanks. does electrum support alt coins?

Well i have to agree. I need to use a local wallet.  After reading what you both said and messing with Electrum I need to make this switch. any pointers on the easiest way to go local?

another noob question here.

Thanks for all your help.  I mined all night and although it was not  a lot I want to test to make sure my wallet is working. It is stored at coinbase.com. question is there a 3rd party software program that will show that there is something in  the wallet. coinbase shows no balance, because it is in the .00001 area i think. Thanks for all your help.

I enjoy it. I will be doing this as a hobby 

Thank you all for your info.

Now what about the Block reward. How does that affect your USD? Does it change or is the ammount so small that you never know if you were the one that solved the puzzle?

 
Ok i have spent the day learning mining via youtube videos and dinking around. I have set up a wallet and NiceHash 2.0.1.4.  my video card is a gtx 1060 and I am currently mining equihash at 300  /HS. So thats about 1.45 bucks per day. What  would you recommend I do to make this profitable? add more video cards?


2nd question.  How exactly do block rewards work. does your mining pc just add it automatically if you solve a problem?


thanks

i have tested the gpu with novabench and userbench and it is performing average like others. the games i play run real good with the video card. my internet speed is about 20meg

i'm running version 2 and there is no log file. legacy had the log file

i'm using nicehash. using equahash with a speed of around 300 h/s. nothing in log file showing any type of problem

hey im only getting 1.45/hr on a gtx 1060 6mb. what could be the cause?
thanks
