MinerGate...I had the same issue. I was thinking "Awesome! Dash is mining super quick." But no... Dash COIN was mining quick... sad day. Still chugging away on Monero and Aeon though (why Aeon? I don't know. I can't find an exchange for it, crypto-crypto). I have a ton of devices grinding away, but still slow AF.

The Dashcoin also got me by surprise! I was excited that I was mining Dash so quickly :(
I am also having big issues with being in a pool but for mining popular coins today, we need to be part of one.
are you using Minergate for a pool? I have thought about it, but not sure how or if it's worth it. I have a setup that I call my "Quarry", it's 4 androids and 3 laptops, lol. I get a lot of juice from a coffee shop (they probably hate me) but I can run my laptops all day mining at full capacity and it doesn't effect battery life to a noticeable degree.
I don't really recommend it. It has great GUI and very easy to setup but everything I have mined there is still unconfirmed and it's been like 1 week.
I have read articles saying that you need to keep mining with them for the transactions to get confirmed.
Hence you will never be able to take everything out when mining with Minergate.
I have used it for a couple of days only. You can make a more thorough test if you want but I feel like it's a waste of time...
ack, it probably is a waste of time. I have been running about a week, also... I might leave my otherwise paperweight androids on the task of mining for FantomCoin (the easiest to mine/liquidate as far as I can tell), but I don't think my comps should keep at it.
Do you use any faucets? They are slow, but I found a few passive ones that are amazing.
I have tried using some faucets in the past when experimenting with cryptos but due to the low payout I do not consider them anymore.
I am looking at things that will be worth the time invested in the long run and I do not see faucets fitting into my goals...
How has your experience with faucets been? Maybe I have been looking at the wrong ones...
I have, in the past week, been through a TON of faucets, and I agree... Many are just not worth it. I have found a few passive ones that require almost nothing of the user. They payout is...kind of meager in the short term. I don't know how long it would take to equal 1 Litecoin, but all of them, without exception have been advertisement Hell. (From someone who uses adblocks...)
I have been meaning to write a full...report maybe? about my experience and which ones I have found to be the best IMO. With the price of Bitcoin going up (until recently, lol), I feel like dripping semi-free (time spent) crypto is a decent, if VERY, VERY slow strategy.
A report with your experience on the faucets would be great. Will definitely check it out.
Keep steem'in hard!
