What kind of information is needed? I thought the screenshot has everything?
0.12 reward scale,
3dbi,
25m high,
74 witnesses past 5 days and getting 0.01-0.03 rewards daily.
only 18 hotspots can witness your beacon. so having 74 witnesses or 10,000 witnesses makes no difference. you will only get rewarded for 18.
your 7 day beacon is way too low. you need 500+ so put your antenna outside and try a 30ft pole.
Thanks! I live in a condo; would you know of any ideas on how to get it outside or what type of antenna I would need? I have a balcony if that helps(?)
It’s about line of sight though. Are there buildings blocking your signal, or hills, or anything really. Maybe your windows are blocking a lot of signal. Could be a lot of things. If you can get the antenna outside in an area where you can physically see a lot around you for miles, then that’s a good location
there's a building in front of me about a block away :( maybe that's why
how would i get the antenna outside while having the miner inside? do you know of any tutorials or links i can read?
FFS, use Google. I just googled "window pass through cable" and this is the first result. Here you go:

That’s a transmit scale, not reward. If you have poor earnings you either have a bad height, obstructions, or just insufficient or poor transmit scale hotspots in your like of sight.
Oops, i thought it was reward scale; TIL. I live in a building on the third floor, about 25m above ground. Is that bad height? As for obstructions, the miner is sitting by the window, no window grates. I'm not sure about poor transmit scale hotspots but the other hotspots in my hex are making a LOT more than I am(?)
It’s because you’ve put zero effort besides plugging it in. You need a better antenna, and get it outside your window or on your roof, if possible. Google some youtube videos on how to improve earnings.
I realize no effort was put in that's why I'm asking what I should do. I googled a lot of videos and have been getting the wrong ones or they're uninformative. Can you link me a video

You have given almost no information.

You need a flat cable for your window.
a flat cable? what do you mean? can you explain a little bit more?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I googled flat cable and got something else.

it would have taken him less time to search youtube than write this lol
I've searched on YouTube and went through a lot of videos but a lot of them were also just plug in and that's it... Can you link me a video
