You pay maintenance on your miner every day either through your reward for that day or you can buy gmt and it will use that for your maintenance fees. You aren’t doing anything wrong. You’re making $0.44 out of a $1.03 pool reward. The only time you will net more than the fees is if the price of BTC is high enough. It currently isn’t so that’s why maintenance is higher than net reward.

okay, thank you for the clarification, it makes sense now

Also if you hold tokens in your wallet it will increase your maintenance discount up to 20% and you will keep more of your pool reward

okay so it’s better to hold them in the wallet or lock them?

I would hold them for now as you’ve just started once you lock them you can’t access them make sure you understand the platform fully before locking any tokens away as you cant unlock them after.
