**REMINDER** Set your coinbase before you start mining else you will not get your block reward!!

KenK

I've already seen 15 ether mined to address '0x0' and I'm sure this number will only go up. Don't waste your time mining to nowhere!

Check your coinbase is your account using:

web3.eth.coinbase

In the console. If it returns nothing then you need to set your coinbase:

In Geth's Javascript Console:

web3.miner.setEtherbase(web3.eth.accounts[0])

For Eth in the command line:

$eth --address <your address goes here>

then check again!

Good luck.

@KenK same with geth?

You mean "Eth's JavaScript console", right?

im mining using this, is it correct ? why i never found a block ? i have been mining for days

geth --etherbase "0" --mine --minerthreads "6"

btw : i already run "geth account new"

FabianVogelsteller

You need to set you ether base properly:

geth --etherbase "0xa073edbcac4a489c3c0f71ec50dd6ffcefa49a00" --mine --minerthreads "6"

FabianVogelsteller

Or geth in the js console:

> miner.setEtherbase('0xa073edbcac4a489c3c0f71ec50dd6ffcefa49a00')

thanks @FabianVogelsteller, all i need is wait now

liam

@FabianVogelsteller how did you get "0xa073edbcac4a489c3c0f71ec50dd6ffcefa49a00"?

HellRazor

@liam it is his address, you better use your own, first you need to create a new address with: "geth account new"
Then use this address, you can see your addresses with "geth account"

You're all welcome to use mine!

Can you ommit the '0x' like 'efxxxxxxxxxxxx'

miner.setEtherbase("*****myaddress******")
When I set my etherbase address it gives me a:

null

output. Is it normal? When I type web3.eth.coinbase the output is the address I have set, and that is expected. The null output confused me a little....

Guys,ive been mining for ~70-100hours or so and i got no reward yet,mining with 50M speed.Coinbase looks like this web3.eth.coinbase
'0x99efbc0308c45a785be499bad407f76606b49c92'
How do i know if something else is wrong ?!

Hazcat

Im getting Error: Uncaught Couldn't connect to server?

To mine i just use this command
ethminer -G --opencl-device 0 -F http://pooleum.com:3000/xxxx/50 -t 2

I was using (now im aware) 0x0 address

Where do i go to set this all up? Ethconsole?

any help would be amazing

Thanks

Noob question and probably a silly one. Question: If I enter web3.eth.coinbase and an account comes up (so not a blackhole of 0x0) but I didn't up that account does that mean I'm mining on behalf of someone else, or does the new Alethzero package automatically generate your account for you?

please help me!

I got my address and I`ve been mining for a week in nanopool, I`m supposed to have 1.57 ETH but when I run "web3.eth.getBalance(web3.eth.accounts[0])" it says 0 in red.

where is my ether?
