    I am up and running...I'll leave it running all day.

    Keep getting : "Found block for pool 0!" notifications, but nothing in wallet yet.

    Let me know if there is anything else I can do.

    It takes time for the coins to mature before they show up in the balance. I believe it's 16 blocks on testnet.

    it took me 47 mins to find my first block with 1.5GH/s and you will see your Accepted shares>0 and also see confirmation in daemon if you find a block.

    Is it possible that there are not enough of PoS-minters? Is it enough at least 1 vote "yes" (and 0 "no") to accept block and pay reward?

    I'm trying out an old GeForce 630 GT, 70 Mh/s tops, and I'm getting "Found block for pool 0" like every few minutes or so. No balance change, of course. What exactly does "Found block for pool 0" mean? Cause I don't think it means what people hope it means when they first see it. I'm running Win7 if that helps.

    I think It means that pool 0 ie you have solved a share for yourself, just like you do when you mine on a pool but that PoW is not good enough for the n/w. You are solo mining so your localhost is the pool. Eventually you will solve a share that is good enough for n/w diff.

    Found 2 block in 5mn and you can see these transaction with this command without the need to wait for mature.

    Code:
    dcrctl --testnet -u (walletuser) -P (walletpassword) --notls --wallet listtransactions
    14,85 decred by block actually

    Earlier on, I found the following 2 instructions, in this thread: https://forum.decred.org/threads/br...sending-and-receiving-coins-windows-only.355/

    LISTING THE TRANSACTIONS:

    10.) To check your transactions(imagine this as a statement from your bank), type the following command,

    dcrctl --testnet -u user -P pass --wallet listtransactions /notls

    This will show you the sent or received transctions, the amount, txid(transactionid), etc. It may take some time to receive your funds. It took me a maximum of 1 hr for me to receive some coins and as short as a minute. So patience :).This is testnet and results can vary, but mainnet will be stable.

    KNOWING YOUR BALANCE:

    11.) To know the balance of your wallet, the command is

    dcrctl --testnet -u user -P pass --wallet getbalance /notls
    As I said earlier, your balance might be 0 if there is no confirmation(zero confirmation) when you check using 'listtransactions'. So please wait.

    From what I have tried, you simply follow step 3, and paste them in a fresh new command window :)

    Here is step 3 from: https://forum.decred.org/threads/br...t-sending-and-receiving-coins-os-neutral.355/

    3.)Inside the folder where the three files are present, hold down shift key and right-click on the empty space and click 'Open Command Window Here'. This will open the command prompt window(or terminal) in this location.

    opened a new window and got this error after pasting that command with the right user and pass: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

    Where -u user and -P pass are stated, did you add in your same username and password information, as you had chosen during the creation of your wallet?

    When I followed 10.) To check my transactions, here is what worked for me in my command prompt:

    C:\Decred\Wallet and Mining\windows-amd64-20160127-02>dcrctl --testnet -u "My Username" -P "My Password" --wallet listtransactions /notls


    Is your command prompt instruction done in the same form as mine from above?

    mine is C:\Users\Trader\Desktop\New folder\windows-amd64>dcrctl --testnet -u "my username" -P "my password" --wallet getnewaddress --notls

    although other commands to get mining going worked though.

    Change:
    --wallet getnewaddress
    To:
    --wallet listtransactions

    Unless you are trying to generate a new address
