Hello all. I'm a complete newbie to mining, so I came here to ask if long "droughts" of no shares are something that is commonplace with BTC mining. I'm set up on BTCGuild using GUIMiner. (I have a Windows 8 touchscreen laptop with an Intel graphics card, not an ideal set up I know.) For all of last week, everything was humming along fine and then over the weekend I had to restart my computer etc. Since then, GUIMiner shows me to be mining, but that's about it. Haven't received an accepted share in almost two days.
So again, as a newbie, I was just wondering if these long periods of time without any noticeable progress being made is commonplace, or if there's something goofy on my end.
Thanks!
