[Ethereum] Account Balance 0 after 1 full day of GPU mining – GTX 770 – go-ethereum and ethminer

balancesethminergo-ethereumgpumining

I am a little bit new in Ethereum Mining but I took a couple of days to read, study and understand the concept. I make my system (a clean one) Linux Ubuntu 14.04 ONLY for Ethereum Mining. I installed and ran successfully go-ethereum and ethminer and followed the tutorials to ensure I am mining.

The problem is that after a full day of mining my account balance is still 0.

I am doing GPU Mining with a nVIDIA GTX 770 with 2GB RAM

I will post here a part of my go-ethereum log just to make sure I am doing everything right. But after this some information:

How I ran those application

1 – geth account new

2 – ethminer -G

3 – geth –rpc –rpccorsdomain localhost 2>> geth.log &

4 – Sometime I also do a miner.setEtherbase(eth.accounts[0]) in geth
console just to make sure that the mining is for my my account, I am
not sure if this works so please tell me.

geth.log

And the ethminer shows the processing mining and stuff.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you.

You won't succeed unless you are more patient and have a higher hashrate, please get some info about your rewards capabilities on a mining reward calculator, see Does my mining situation sound normal?
