-Filled in credentials in the miner, pressed 'start mining':
It would not connect: 'starting' or 'connecting', then: nothing moves for half an hour.
Added 'summary' and 'console' to the view. Summary seems to hang on the message 'connecting'. The console gave some clue, though:
Wrong platform or more than one OpenCL platforms found, use --platform to select one of the following
[0] NVIDIA CUDA
[1] AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing

Restarting mining now did not raise any warnings or errors in the console.

Checking the summary shows I am currently fluctuating between 13 and 13.3Mhash/s.
Few seconds later: 1 share accepted.
