very cool pooler! i found my first block today! i used your calculator afterwards and it was only off by 1 hour! my hashrate is 5.6 and i found a block in 8 days 4 hours. and i'm sure thats not the calc's fault so much as fluctuations in my hashrate! as a matter of fact i'm surprised it got that close super amazing! so my question is what could i do to get the coveted 45 k/hs? i'm thinking of upgrading my cpu anyway. also i thought maybe i could up my threads to 4 when i'm not using the computer (work etc). or maybe even set umbuntu back up and run it while i'm away. i'm sure theres a good btc miner for linux. anyway i'm ranting. thanks for all the help guys!

so i have the litecoingui and minerd and all its accompanying files in the same folder and have been successfully pool mining for about a week now. i wanna try to solo mine for two weeks or so but i have a couple of concerns. 1. How do i know if its working? i've run it for about an hour or so and it just says "mining started" i understand there'd be no shares, but is it going to give any indication that its doing what its supposed to? 2. Does it matter that my mining computer is sometimes offline for a few hours sometimes? this is my main concern. Its not offline often but right now my isp SUCKS and drops connection every few days. will that restart the process?
anyway thanks for your time!

yeah lurking while logged in doesn't seem to do do it, not sure how it measures but if you just leave the window open for four hours its not enough.
