I am not sure if this matters or not, but still trying to troubleshoot why I’ve had an 8/9 hour estimated time to win, but no wins for more than 5+ days (last win was Sunday, today is Saturday… so mon, tue, wed, thu, fri 5 × 24 = 120 hours with no XCH wins).
I’ve cleaned up a ton of legit plot errors in my debug.log (such a great tool; dupes, bad plots, etc). I set log level to info
and a mod on the keybase support channel helped me out. He said the problem is here, where it says only a few plots are eligible for farming out of a large number:

the time taken is 1131s (18 minutes), he said the time should be more like 5 seconds.
Same thing later in the logs:

Only a few plots eligible for farming, and time taken is 500
seconds!
He said to start removing folders from the list and see if that helps. I started by removing names from shares, I had some in there like this
//name-of-machine/d
//name-of-machine/e
I changed to
//192.168.1.12/d
//192.168.1.12/e
edit: opened a bug about this, as god knows how many people are running rigs that will never win a single coin due to this silent failure mode:
