How long does it usually take to mine from a non-empty wallet? Been trying out wallet-mining.com for half a day and nothing yet. Is it my hardware or the blockchain hash rate that matters?
Is Wallet Mining Legit or Just Another Scam?

It's a total scam. Just stay away from it.
Yeah man, it’s so obvious. The contact info looks super sketchy, like a site for selling cookies.
Totally agree. Wallet mining they mention might actually be staking, which is different from Bitcoin mining. The site seems dead anyway, says "This account has been suspended". Classic scam.
I’m convinced it’s a scam. There’s no such thing as free mining. Just be careful out there.
This isn’t just a hunch. It’s definitely a SCAM!
No doubt about it. Wallets don’t mine. They can be used for proof of stake, but that’s a whole different thing. If you want to mine, get some GPUs or ASICs.
Cloud mining, wallet mining, all that = scam.
Wallet mining is just a way to validate transactions on the Bitcoin network, not actual mining. And yeah, it sounds like what they mean is staking.
Don’t bother with it, bro. Just avoid it.

Technically it could work, but web mining is a total joke. I even made a program to check wallets fast, found one with $10 after 9 days... but the odds are just insane. You’d need to be super lucky.

Scam! Seriously, you can’t mine Bitcoin just from a wallet.
It’s kinda wild how many scams there are. Scammers keep getting cleverer, and then we’ve got politicians shouting about how crypto is trash.

Been running this for a week. Odds of getting anything are so low. Just look it up; it’s almost impossible.
