I don't see the problem. I joined to ask a question, posted it in the newbie forum, and soon enough I will have satisfied the other requirements just by using the site normally.

I've got one of my rigs mining CHNcoin solo, according to the directions here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=195207.0

It appears to be working, but is there any way I can confirm that it is mining properly? Of course I can wait and see if some coins show up in my wallet, but I would rather not lose that time if its not working.

Thanks.
