Ok, I have a few questions.  I just received a BFL 60Ghz Single on almost exactly my one year order anniversary date. Yay...

I installed the Easy Miner software and it appears to be mining.  I keep seeing messages like this on the logs tab:

[2013-09-18 23:28:43] Accepted xxxxx BFL 0i pool 0 Diff 26/16] So I assume that means it's mining.  Right?

On the settings page under automatic payment options, I selected "Bitcoin Wallet" and put in one of my addresses.  Under Pool options "load balance pool & server" is checked with a pool priority of 1) Eligius 2) Eclipse MC 3) Others.  Mining Kernel is bfgminer

First question: I've had this thing running all day and don't have any BTC.  The earnings statistics on the pool mining page all show NA and there is no BTC in the address I have on the settings page.  Am I doing something wrong?  Do I need to wait 24 hours? Whats the deal?

Second question: I was doing some research on mining pools thought pool.itzod.ru looked pretty good.  There are no fees and they share transaction earnings.  What else should I be looking at?

So far I have been unable to get pool.itzod.ru working using the manual mining option on the settings page.  This is what I have typed in:

cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://pool.itzod.ru:3333 -u fakeusername -p fakepassword -I 9

When I try to start mining with that text on the manual mining line it fails to start and all I see on the logs page is "ind the path specified" which I assume means they are unable to find the path to something.

Is pool.itzod.ru the right pool for me?  If so, how do I get it working in Easy Miner?  If you're able to answer all of my questions I'll send you $5 USD worth of BTC.  Thanks!

I've been storing some of my BTC in a wallet at blockchain.info.  I have an Android phone with Google Authenticator and had two factor authentication setup on my blockchain.info wallet account.  Everything was well and good, then my phone died, and I lost access to the blockchain.info account.  I've tried doing a "reset two-factor authentication request" with blockchain.info.  Twice. Now I'm going on two weeks and haven't received any response from them other than "click here to validate your request".  Is there anything else I can do to get back into my wallet?  I had the account configured to backup the Wallet to either Dropbox or Google drive, one of which contains some .json files; but I'm not sure what to do with those and\or if it will solve my problem.  What should I do?  What is the expected response time from blockchain.info requests such as this.  Any advice?  Thx
