Ethereum Mining GTX 1070 problrms

[Lumarico]

OK so, I have very recently become intrigued with this all new popular Cryptocurrency, Ethereum Coin. So i followed the guide that Tweaktown made (http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/8208/ethereum-mining-guide-part-basics-set-up/index.html) and i got it all up and running. well at least thats what i thought, I am using Awesome Miner free edition and Ethpool.org for my mining pool, and it connects great and i am able to easily get pool shares, but when I check how many shares my GPU (Galax GTX 1070 HOF) it reads zero, even after several hours.

 

So i was wondering that if i had maybe set up miner wrong, or that i just dont have enough hash power to earn anything (averaging 28 MH/s, so says awesome miner)

 

Someone please help as i have no idea what is going on as I am so new.

 

I also get this when i check the diagnostics on my miner

You need to provide a wallet address you can get one here -> www.myetherwallet.com

 

Get the miner and join the pool, instructions are easy at www.ethermine.org

 

After you have created your .bat file paste your address in the box on ethermine.org to monitor progress.

 

EDIT: Oh btw never click the "start.bat" files contained in the miner they have someone else's wallet address within them so its a way to trick noobs -.- always run your own .bat file.

i have entered my wallet address under the pool

[Lumarico]

also do you use your address or private key

Address. That key is private and can access your wallet. Write it down irl don't save it on the PC

Paste the contents of your .bat file. I just read the guide you won't have 1 using awesome miner it is setup via GUI.

I just read over the guide to be honest that is really complicated and not necessary unless you have a fleet of miners. Just follow the advice in my 1st post to get mining far easier.

 

EDIT: I will try awesome miner out tonight and let you know how hard/easy it was but that will be in 5.5 hours sorry.

If you are using a 1070 I would recommend mining either ZCash or using Nicehash to mine. Nvidia cards just don't mine ETH very well, but mine Zcash pretty great. Nicehash is a super simple GUI miner but mines about 8% less profit per day compared to say ZecMiner for Zcash, but you don't have to do any currency exchange as Nicehash pays you directly in BTC. Only need to get a BTC wallet address, put it into the Nicehash miner, benchmark your card and select the highest BTC/day rated hash and start the miner. ZecMiner will mine more overall profit per day in Zcash, but you would need to exchange Zcash to BTC on an exchange and then sent that BTC in the exchange to your BTC wallet that will pay you out in USD or whichever currency you'd like.
