How can I tell how many Zcash are in my wallet? I am mining with Tromp and I’d like to know how much I have.

Thanks

after a week’s mining, I got zero balance, is that wired?

~/zcash$ ./src/zcash-cli getwalletinfo │  
{  
“walletversion” : 60000,  
“balance” : 0.00000000,  
“unconfirmed\_balance” : 0.00000000,  
“immature\_balance” : 0.00000000,  
“txcount” : 0,  
“keypoololdest” : 1477810524,  
“keypoolsize” : 101  
}

It really depends on your hashrate. If you are solo mining with 5 Sol/s it can take a long time until you find a block.

It’s about 12 Sol/s, and worked 8 days, day and night.

With 12 Sol/s and current difficulty (the difficulty was even higher few days ago) it will take you roughly 3 years of 24/7 mining to find a block on average. If you get lucky you could find one tomorrow, but if you get unlucky it can take 5 years.

I’m all for solo mining, but you should not expect any returns soon with only 12 Sol/s. With 20 000 Sol/s it would take you on average a day to find a block. So you should have at least 2500 Sol/s to find a block in 8 days.

Unless you have access to a huge computing farm, or you’re just really really lucky, you’ll need to join a pool. I use flypool.
