Home Mining With WinMiner, First Withdrawal
It has been almost 19 days since I started a hobby home mining experiment with WinMiner on my home desktop machine. You can see from the following graph how successful the miner was.
The balance of $22.10 also means that I have reached the withdrawal limit to withdraw to Ethereum address.
Let's Test The Withdrawal
I entered the full balance in $ and the ETH field was automatically filled with the equivalent.
Clicking the green Withdraw button ...
Two fees are displayed, confirmation with password and optional 2FA is requested.
Confirmation email is send. When you click on the confirmation link in the email you are transfered to the final confirmation page.
After the confirmation the withdrawal history holds its first entry.
The transaction is pending. Few minutes later, while still writing this article, the transaction is already completed.
Since I used my Ledger Nano S ethereum address for withdrawal destination I will plug it in and check the balance on it.
Withdrawal completed
Smooth sailing throughout the whole process. It took me much more to write this article than to actually perform the withdrawal.
Great!
Conclusion
I am gladly confirming that WinMiner withdrawal process is easy, functional and straightforward. And working!

@ervin-lemark This is very interesting! I am going to have to check this out. Quick question - How often are you not using your desktop for this to use full power? And I will be following!
Hello and thanks for your answer.
The desktop is switched on all the time. I work on it in the evenings. My wife uses is occasionally. The rest of the time it's on its own. So .. what this gives is .. I don't know :)
I can safely say that it is mining most of the time. After all, you can't squeeze 100% out of your CPU and GPU if you are not playing graphical games or doing some graphical design...
Even when the miner is working in the background it is not interfering with the human work. And you can always switch it off or set in manual mode.
nice review :D
Thanks for this. What is your computer specs?
i7 with 32 GB RAM - not everything is used for mining.
Nvidia GTX 1050.
Live situation:
