I got a node running with the mining server. Completely sync’ed.

Once I start grin-miner, I see it connecting the server and see it in the workers list. But this is the details I have on the miner :

Connection Status : connected to Grin server at 127.0.0.1:13416.  
Last Message Sent : Get New Job  
Last Message Received : None  
Mining Status : Waiting for server

And it stays this way. The server, associated with a sync’ed node, doesn’t give any answer to the connected miner.

So my question is quite easy : Why ? 😉

Thank you for your answer.

Did you follow the instructions in [https://forum.grin.mw/t/new-grin-file-layout-important-for-all-current-grin-users](https://forum.grin.mw/t/new-grin-file-layout-important-for-all-current-grin-users) ?  
Sounds like you may have left stratum disabled…

I think you don’t have wallet listener running

```
grin wallet listen

```

Perhaps the stratum server should return an error RPC message “no wallet”. Lots of people end up like this.

Thank you. That’s exactly what was missing. Two ideas :

- A feedback once you use “grin wallet listen” (there’s none)
- A possibility to start it within the “grin” command through the grin-wallet.toml file

Mmm… Mined with 6 1080ti for 50 blocks on testnet4 :

Mining Status: Mining at height 29793 at 41263.3795 GPS

I get accepted shares, but yet my wallet balance stays at 0. Should I consider that as normal or unlucky ?

edit : Ok “grin wallet info” shows me a balance of 0 while “grin wallet txs” shows a balance of 240 for 4 found blocks…
