Your best off joining a mining pool and Ypool is the only one up at the moment. Solo mining is only suggest if you have a lot of cpu cores to mine with.

Don't know exactly. But if you did solo mine, the difficulty would be too high and finding a block would take a very long time. With a pool, you get constant shares and XPM payout. Try it for two days and see if you like the payout for each day. I get about 2 XPM a day from my AMD Phenom II x4 820 Quad Core CPU.

Can you please give some details how to join this pool and if there a chance not to use cgminer but only my wallet to mine in a pool? Thank you

Join Ypool.net and check the chat logs, there you will find high performance miners. I suggest using Aerocloud's T15. You'll have the best results with that. Do not bother solo mining as most of the miners do not solo to the wallet. If you insist on solo mining then get the high performance client HP11. CGminer is not for this coin. This is a CPU only coin at the moment. GPU miners are in development.
