ETH found while mining?

ReeeReee Posts: 2Member
Hi guys,

I'm quite new to the mining community so don't kill me if this question is retarded.

Currently I'm mining in ethermine pool and at least once per day I find an ETH.
So in Claymore miner it says:
Pool switches: ETH - 1

Does that mean that I found one ether or? Shouldn't I find a block and get more of them?

Ofc I'm asking this because I found it 4-5 times during last few days and am wondering should I better mine solo then? Would I have 4 ETH then instead of 0.5 in a pool? :)

    1 Eth per day on ethermine? Wow your hashrate must be quite high.

    My ~165MH/s gets about 0.075 Eth per day according to whattomine.org. Your hashrate must be 1500-2000MH/s if you were getting that much back in June 16th. Solo might get you higher but not 8x as you are suggesting. According to some estimates more like 10-20%.

    I forgot what Pool Switches in Claymore means. I think that's related to esm mode. The ETH - 1 therefore does not mean you get 1 Ether, its something completely different.

    I am puzzled how you don't know these things. Did you buy systems from someone that's pre-cofigured?

    No to both, he's probably seeing "ETH - Share found!" and thinks it's a whole ETH.

    Haha nah. I've build it and configure it myself ofc :)

    I'm not thinking about Share found part. Not a retard so please keep that in mind.

    When I press 's' I can see shares found per gpu but underneath there is ETH and DCR counter. I'm only interested in knowing what do they really represent?
