Hey everyone, I'm new to mining; I can't seem to produce anything or recieve shares despite having a pretty okay hashrate. Could anybody point me in the right direction here? I have screen capped what my cgminer looks like. https://i.imgur.com/x5l1LD1.png

bump because I don't even know what an invalid share is.

Referring to the title, I assume? Sorry, terrible joke I really wish I could post in my Pool's thread; could you at least inform me as to what an invalid share even is/does? Is it just duplicate information?

Referring to the title, I assume? Sorry, terrible joke I really wish I could post in my Pool's thread; could you at least inform me as to what an invalid share even is/does? Is it just duplicate information? I'm really sorry, I don't know much about mining. I just googled and found this quote, it might shed some light for you: An invalid share might be a share you submitted with an error in calculations, or possibly a stale share, depending on the pool implementation.
A possible reason for a rejection of a share might be that the pool doesn't use difficulty 1 as the target, while some miners might try submitting those shares There is also a possibility that your miner makes some mistakes while calculating hashes, but that is less likely The pool might be poorly implemented and make some mistakes A reason for a stale share might be that:
The pool does not use long polling, thus it doesn't inform the miners when to update their getwork All in all, you should ask other people whether they have the same problem for the given pool, and try mining using a different miner and a different computer and see if the problem persists.

I appreciate it; I still can't seem to find the root of the problem though.

p.s. Add --scrypt to your cgminer parameters.

Hmmm, I did that and I've dropped from 172.0Mh/s to 15Kh/s.
