This topic is meant to collect the most useful screening questions for altcoin miners in Bounties (Altcoins). Please share what separates a serious opportunity from a short-lived distraction.
Same issue here. The miner looked connected, but it turned out the worker format was wrong.
I had a similar situation on a smaller setup and the lesson for me was not to assume profitability or stability from one short test window. Watching behavior over a longer period gave me a more realistic picture.

This is a strong SEO-style topic because it matches the real questions miners keep asking again and again.
This is exactly the kind of question many new miners search for before they commit money or hardware.
I think the most helpful answers here are the ones that explain what to check first, not just the final fix.
A practical comparison with real setup details would make this thread much more useful for future readers.
It helps a lot when people include what symptoms they saw, what they tested, and what actually changed the result.
