Thanks for that Alenevaa,
I have noticed that on the minerd when my last block was made, it showed a hash of 23 hash/s
When my worker starts to work though, on the dashboard, it shows as 0.22KH/s...what explains the difference between the two figures?
Would other things, such as a few different qt setups running in the background, or anything else happening on my computer affect the hashrate?
Also, would it be a similar sort of process to mine other coins, such as ultracoin? How would I go about that?
Many thanks, as always...

With the growth of Nfactor, it's harder and harder to keep track of miners. Is my miner still alive!?
For NF17 even with minimal share difficulty 1 it may take up to 10 minutes for ordinary CPU miner (like minerd) to submit share to the pool.
The pool calculates hashrate as average value: ('accepted shares' / 'short time period').
At the same moment when the share is submitted pool displays speed more than real hashrate. Other time the pool displays speed just as zero. It’s normal behavior but not convenient.
That's why the pool offers mining with share difficulty 0.25. Let's name this share as 'quark'.
So with the same real speed your miner will submit 'quarks' 4 times faster than ordinary share. And you will be able to monitor the heartbeat and speed of you miner more precisely.
Difficulty can be selected by the port number: (3433 difficulty 1; 3434 - 0.25)
But the problem is that not all miners support difficulty less than 1.
Unfortunately YACminer and minerd doesn't.
As far as I know cudaminer and ccminer does.
PS: Professional miners with GPU rigs and Server Farms please use port with standard difficulty 1 in any way!
