Xmr Block finding time expected with 100Kh/s

i have been a 10 core cpu mining xmr here, for 4 days, 333 h/s rate, did 65 Million shares and my xmr balance is at 0.

so either i am unlucky or something is wrong.  i have another setup on a diff pool site, doing 37 KH (and in 3 days, i got 0.6 XMR).  other pool site shows xmr balance in xxx.xxxxxxxxxx format, here we only see x. for xmr balance.  cant even see progress of any kind of balance.

I feel your pain.... I've been mining XMR for about 3 weeks on 2 computers for around 700h/s, I did 485milltion shares and only made .026 XMR

I could do the calculations for an expected time to find a block at this pool, but its still Christmas mood for me, so I won't do so until like few days from now. But to give you a small heads up, this pool's hash power is seriously very small for XMR and anything beyond 3-4 weeks per block is to be expected.

You see a positive balance only if you participate as a miner in finding a block under the pool. Until then you only accumulate shares. Don't be shocked by the number of shares, as this pool uses VARDIF where your the shares you submit by your miner differ in difficulty versus other miners. The shares you see on the pool stats are then multiplied by the said difficulty, and that's why the numbers are a multiple of what you would expect.

Monero really isn't worth mining when you are getting under 1Kh/s, and is a long term commitment - this pool probably has the combination of lowest minimum payout and lowest fee, but you are looking at months before really being able to cash in on your returns, and with other pools with higher fees and larger min payout, you'll get a trickle of XMR but won't be able to cash it out for a few months as well.

I would seriously suggest looking at alternative cryptonight coins, personally I switch between Sumokoin and electroneum (looks like there should be an ETN pool here soon), whilst the returns might have less worth, you get them into your wallet sooner.

@Terry, 10 cores at 333 h/s, sounds rather low, my Ryzen 7 1700x using only 7 cores OC'd to 3675MHz gets up to around 440H/sec, but consistently averages over 360, whilst I am using it.  One thing I did find was that if you are using

Hyperthreading/SMT is making sure the miner is only using the actual core, as dividing the load between the HT/SMT and actual core makes the hashrate worse.

thanks for your info... I am all in for or a long term commitment to mining. Not looking for a quick payout

With that, I upped my mining to 4 machines with over 1k h/s.   I am using my friends business storage room to house my mining computers  :)  yay for free electricity.

hey ben.  the 10 core is running though a ESXI server, i have a linux vm running xmrig gave it 10 cores (not hyper).  but it only has 4gb  of memory maybe i need to increase the memory of the vm.  the setup of the ESXI server has xeon 3Ghz cpus (2x actual CPU, 6 cores each, = 12 cores total , i believe L3 of 12M).

ya i need poolmining to support ssl xmr so i can switch pools, since other rig (200x i5 quad units) needs ssl packets to by pass the firewalls,.

Block!!  Hello little block!  Thanks for coming to our pool before the new year.

Would it be greedy to ask karma for one more block before 2017 leaves us?  I hope I don't jinx it!

All blocks are welcome to visit our little pool anytime!  Block, block, block!

Ok, yes it's apparent that I'm completely addicted to mining and I really hope there's no cure.

That's cute. :)
