Hi everybody (in first I warn you I don't speak English very well ;D)

EXACTLY !

Have you tried a different pool?

No. Do you have a good pool that I can try ?


But there is nothing in the multipool.us website that indicates that I am accomplishing anything. I have not yet seen any worker activity or any hashrates reported or anything showing any feedback on the website.

Now I think I gave all informations...

Try https://kano.is

stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333

or

http://eligius.st/~gateway/

Why 3333 ? Bitcoin aren't 3332 ?

The different numbers could be due to multi coin mining that switch between most profitable coins every ten or fifteen minutes.  Or, it could be low diff / Medium Diff / High Diff depending on your hashes per second.

In CKPool, I'm very sorry but I don't understand everything. Where I have to go for make my worker ?

And I see it's possible to send DIRECTLY in my Wallet with a payout adress ? What I have to do ?

So, if I write " ./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.kano.is:3333 -u [MYPAYOUTADDRESS]_worker -p x , Bitcoins go in my wallet ? And I have nothing else to do ? (and I write _worker too ?)

Thank you for your help, you're nice :)

If this question is directed towards ckpool, you should ask this in the official thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=763510.0), from what I've seen its quite popular pool

Okay, thank you :D

With your experience, do you think that is good ? --->

Firstly I will advice you not to mine on ck's pool with a USB miner because ck's pool is a solo pool and in 2016 with the current difficulty of 120,033,340,651 you are out of luck to find a block at least in 100 years.
Well if you want to try your luck you can mine there.

But I think with a USB miner you should join a good PPS pool like Antpool or F2Pool and point your miner there because by looking at your op I think you want to earn some bitcoins quickly. So that might be the quick way to see some bitcoins o your account although not the quickest way.

Looking at your screenshot everything is all right but you cannot see your bitcoin on your balance to rise up quickly because you are on a multipool.

Until you get a "Yay!" you are not going to show any activity in most pools.  It is not until the miner produces some kind of actual "work" that was of value that it is going to show.

No one said ckpool that is a solo pool, and actually could be used for such a small miner. You'll be submitting so few shares to other pools you won't make much and the luck of solo could sometimes be better.

Trying a PPS might be good also, but each share submitted will be a very very tiny amount, either way you will get a very small amount unless you get lucky on solo.
I think you'll just need to find a pool with low difficulty as you only have around 300MH

Kano.is is not solo it is PPLNS as is eligius, they just have very easy to see reporting tools that update fairly quick.

kano.is you can either create a user and password so you can log in to the site or you can just mine to your address, if you have a user you set your BTC address in your payment settings after logging in. If you plan to mine to your address put your address there, you can also use the _ to differentiate multiple machines but this is your choice. Both kano and eligius do not require a login you can just use them by BTC address.

If you want to try solo and test your luck (you will only get paid if your miner finds a block)

http://solo.ckpool.org/


They do have a way to check some stats, but again you will only be paid if your miner finds a block, you will get the full value of the reward + transaction fees, minus 1% in pool fees.
