I am very new to Bitcoin Mining. I've been doing this for only about a week so I left the difficulty of my miners at 1 and haven't gone anywhere near stratum mining. I have a handful of machines running somewhere between 60-100 Mh/s and I am fairly certain I set everything up correctly. When i go to the 'My Account' link on bitcoin.cz, I see all my miners listed but there are no statistics in the chart at all. Found Blocks, Current shares, Score, and Mhash/s are all showing zeroes. I've been using DiabloMiner and every half hour or so it sends an error:
ERROR: Cannot connect to api.bitcoin.cz: Read timed out
but the vast majority of output says:
api.bitcoin.cz accepted block XXXX from <graphics card> (#1)/X
I can't tell if that error message is just a momentary disconnect from the server on that particular block found, or a warning that nothing I've been mining so far has actually be received/collected/acknowledged. As charitable a person that I may be, i wasn't planning on mining blocks for the fun of it. I would just like some indication that I'm making any semblance of progress. I am well aware that it's not gonna explode overnight, but from what i can tell, I'm just wasting my time. The reason I waited a week to query this is because I thought it might just take time to spin up.
Is this a normal process for people who have only been doing this for a week or so? Or is there something amiss?
ALSO if this is a question i should be posting on a forum about DiabloMiner, let me know. I posted it here because I thought it may be a miscommunication between my client and the pool.
sorry for the long post
