Cryptocurrency Mining

Can someone please explain the below to me, I'm not 100% sure I am understanding this correctly.

XDN.jpg

I've been mining some XDN to get a feel for Minergate and how it all works.

According to that screenshot I have 14,176 shares (worth peanuts) but if I try to Withdraw it says I have 4.03756212
 
In my ignorance, I don't think a share = a coin. Otherwise I would have laughed all the way to the bank with my 30000-odd XMR shares :)

The 14176 are the number of shares / gpu cycles accepted by the pool and the reward for those being the 4 coins. Bad or rejected shares are those that your gpu have accepted as new work from the pool but did not manage to complete in time.
 
Yes.
I'm also busy with SC at the moment. It's the most profitable for me at the moment, $/day wise.
 
Is it optimal to dedicate a box to a single mining operation or is it more profitable to do multiple? I imagine mining klaps the processors.
 
More the GPU than the processor, if it's set up that way, but you can utilize the processor as well.

Using Nicehash it will automatically detect the most profitable algorithm to mine, eg for me it mined Eth from my 1050ti and Monero using my CPU, and then I had my 7850 mine Monero on the side, as Nicehash doesn't pick it up.

So whilst I don't think there is a right or wrong way, personally I like dedicating all my effort towards a single coin at a time.

By processors I meant GPU/CPU

Very strange that Nicehash doesn't detect your 7850. Are you using the latest drivers and latest version of Nicehash? Nicehash detects my HD5970 so I find it strange that your MUCH newer GPU isn't detected.
 
Yah it's weird. Other miners (siacoin-gominer, Claymore, Minergate, etc.) all pick it up no problem and it works well, but for some reason Nicehash just doesn't list it as an available GPU.

I've read online that there were similar issues with earlier versions of NH, so not sure if it just has something to do with this. Drivers updated, etc., and Windows and GPU-Z picks the card up no problem.
