Just joined the Pool BitCoin.lc. Followed there little guide on how to setup GUIMiner so i can start mining but i have no idea if its doing what its ment to. I didn't get any errors when connecting, its all showing me my Hash's (Currently 1.3Mhash/s, is that good?)
The hash is going up and down but nothing else seems to change such as the Accepted/Stale just sits at 0. Am i doing something wrong or does it take some time before it changes?

1.3 Mhash is extremely low. A single ATI 5870 can put out up to ~400 MHash. If you are paying for electricity the amount of mining you are going to make with 1.3 Mhash is going to cost substantially more than you are going to make. here is a good profit calculator that takes into account startup and operating costs. http://bitcoinx.com/profit/index.php |

You should be getting between 170-250 Mhash. If you describe your setup more accurately and settings it would be a lot easier to help you. |

1 GHash = 1000 Mhash
1 Mhash = 1000 kHash
Make sure you have your video card selected in Guiminer and not your CPU.

No Guiminer is separate front end that doesn't require you to open up a Terminal or Command Prompt. I can't really help you since you aren't really giving me much to work with. |

Are you on Linux or on Windows?
If you are using Linux, keep in mind that you can't use the opensource radeon driver, since it doesn't support OpenCL yet.
