I have a question then, I recently started mining this past week I wanna say Tuesday or perhaps Monday night (CST). And I barely have 190GLD 1 week later my rate is 466khash. I know we had some new code go out a day or two ago but something just isn't adding up right compared to all the information I have been seeing. Is it a problem with the pools and code or my setup? Pools are showing I average about 0.01-0.02% invalid. And I've been trying to watch for the orphans when I can and take into account the code change but even before the code change.
Is my hash rate really only going to net me about 190GLD over the course of 5-7 days? If so that is seriously not worth it and I have been wasting electricity on this. I even try to watch it every 30mins-1hr marks to make sure the pools are up as it seems all the GLD Pools are very unstable. On a side note in 2 days I took off GLD while the code was being worked out I mined 191 WDC coins so something is wrong here.
Anyways just looking for some clarity
From reviewing Coinwarz.com GoldCoin Calculator your breakdown for 455 kh/s with the current difficulty would be:
Hourly: 2.77096672 GLD
Daily: 66.50320127 GLD
Weekly: 465.52240892 GLD
But, you need to understand that those are just averages -- I actually consider them more like educated guesses. What doesn't come into play into that estimate is the consistent changing of difficulty and the luck of the pool you are mining at. While your invalid may be only 0.01 - 0.02% invalid, the pool avg will likely be considerably higher (due to some of the issues with the code allowing difficulty to be too low with too high of a GoldCoin overall hashrate recently) - creating an excessive amount of orphans which you would not get paid on over the past 3 days or so.
I'll use pool gld.hashfaster.com as an example of this, over the past 7 days they have found 256 total blocks, of those blocks 129 were valid and 127 were invalid. Thus, they are just at about 50% ratio. So, only those 50% blocks would get paid over those 7 days.
However, it shows that the difficulty is getting closer to the actually needed point when you look at the pool's 24 hour stats. 75 blocks found, 66 were valid and 9 invalid.
Hope this helps!
