Linux Direct Miner Balance Shows Zero Balance Only about electroneum

Blocks received means that the wallet exe received a block. That does not mean that the block it received contains any transactions involving your wallet address. A block is just part of the blockchain (the decentralized distributed ledger that stores all transactions).

Also what are the wallet commands? Where little documentation to go along with the Linux Direct Miner ....

I'm attempting to hack my way around this. I compiled and started the the cpuminer-multi and pointed it to the pool https://uspool.electroneum.com/. When I go to that pool and put in my walled address I get the following:

Pending Balance: 0.00 ETN
Total Paid: 0.00 ETN
Last Share Submitted: 3 minutes ago
Hash Rate: 23.41 H/sec

So the pool tells me nothing about how much I have mined so far in general. Shouldn't the Total Paid quantity reflect earlier amounts written to the block chain by the Linux Direct Miner?

So I've been mining all day now on two laptops and so far trying my balane is zero when looking at it through the wallet cli and the pool interface at https://uspool.electroneum.com/. Is that normal?

Having same issue:

[wallet etnkG2]: refresh
Starting refresh...
Refresh done, blocks received: 0                                
Balance: 0.00, unlocked balance: 0.00

Have I lost my money?

Direct Mining is nothing to do with pool mining.
The reason you are seeing no coins is because Direct Mining is VERY difficult. This is why people use pools to mine.

When you were using the pool miner, you wont see coins straight away. You get rewarded periodically according to the amount of work that you machine did in breaking the block.

I hope this helps and makes sense to you.

Happy new year! I'll just give you some feedback. If you are launching the coin with something that sounds promising like Direct Mining and you later have to explain it as "VERY DIFFICULT", that's bad. Just don't launch that then. I'm a pretty savvy developer, so if it's hard for me, then I suspect that 99.99% of the people trying that out are going to be very disappointed, which obviously you don't want.

When I'm running a magi coins pool miner on various pools I see transactions earned every 1/2 hour to 2 hours. This gives miners confidence in the coin and they feel like they are not wasting their time. You want that.

Good luck. I hope you can make it work.
