Poor balance increase rate

Posted: 16-Nov-2021 | 8:25PM · 13 Replies ·

I started mining back up again after shutting down for almost 6 days, after the 'ETH glitch'.  Ran miner for a few hours without doing anything else on the computer from about 3:30 pm PST to just before 8 pm, my rate of ETH balance increase was very poor, about 40-60% of my low par which I calculate is about 0.000012 ETH per hr!  I shut it down again after about a rate of 0.00005 per hr from 6 pm to just before 8 pm!  Based on this, which has happened too many times, and the constant complaints on this Norton mining endeavor, seems it is a failure for us miners!!  I spent $50 cash in about a minute to do what my single GPU computer did in about 2 months, gain about 0.010 ETH!!!  I'd like to cash out but it seems that that is prohibitive to do because of the high fees, ETH network fees...yea, I know, not Norton!  A total loss maybe? Good for Norton I'm sure, but is it good for the worker bees??  I'm just not sure right now.  I'd like to get to at least 0.016 and cash out ( to get about 0.01) but, it would probably take about 2 more months at present rate!  My new computer will probably blow up before then. Not sure its worth the pain.  Man!  I had hopes for this but.....

Matt, since I been back from holiday on Nov 26th my hash rate has been around 9.8.  Before this I would see hash rates varying with some in the 20s and 30s. What has happened. I had a payout Oct 9 and another Oct 25.  The next pay out was a month later, Nov 24. The estimate of mining shows a month between payouts. What has happened and why the low hashrates

Where are you viewing your hashrate, on the client or the portal? From a backend perspective nothing has changed and things are generally stable, from an estimate of next payout, a lot depends on the current gas fee. As the gas fee goes up we hold payouts until it lowers.

The hash rate is viewed in my wallet under mining and also on the main screen with projected earnings box and balance box. I also restarted my computer to see if that would help. It didnt.

I would expect the rate to be between 20s and 30s for that card. Has it been this way consistently or is it just occasionally?

The screen shows 100% utilization with 10.2 hash rate.

I will ask one of the engineers to reach out via DM to see if they can diagnose if something is different about your setup.

Thank you for posting on the Norton Community. Could you please restart the product (close the product and open it from Task Manager after disabling Tamper Protection in Settings) and check if the hashrate is reflecting correctly? Thank you.
