No, it doesn't seem like you're mining.

Yes you are mining, but too slow. You haven't found any shares with sufficient difficulty.

Just keep going.

What hardware are you mining with, 6kh/s seems like too slow to really gain anything.

Only continue to mine if you have free electricity. Smiley

What's your hardware? Compare it to https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison

You're mining at the speed of a weak CPU.

You are destroying your card, and you will be waiting for a long time to get enough balance to withdraw.
You are better off enjoying games with your graphics card.

Gt630m means you are using a laptop right?. Please stop it before you kill your laptop even if you have free electricity.

People are right to be concerned about your laptop, normally the airflow in a laptop isnt great to be able to keep the graphics card cool and as you cant see the temperature of your card it will be difficult to determine if it is running over the safe limits for the card itself.

the other major concern with laptops is the other components that will be in close proximity to the graphics card. they can also be burnt out by the excess heat from the graphics card.

in my rigs at home the cards can get up to 90+ degrees at times (apparently safe margins on my card goes all the way to 117 but i haven't ever been above 100 {6 fans helps ;p} )


but with all that being said...

if you wanted to improve the speed of mining (at the cost of MORE heat) when the miner is running, type


G   (shortcut on the miner to get to the graphic settings)

I     (Intensity option in the graphic settings)

15   (sets the Intensity of the miner to 15 {you are currently at 8}

then Press return/enter




I have seen on my cards when they fiirst start and have intensity of 8/9 that i get very low hash rate of maybe 30-35k, but when its cracked up (im normally at 18, but you can push it to 20, although i dont normally see much difference between 18-20 other than heat generation)  I get up to the more normal 400k

buuut remember HEAT is the main by product of mining with a laptop, and heat Kills laptops!

Because CGminer isn't showing you your graphic card temperature (which is weird). I suggest you downloading GPU-Z and test it yourself. Don't get shock if its at 100 Celsius.
