I'm pooling (or attempting to) with Bitcoin Pool. On my account information, it shows that my "User Speed" is 0MH/s, and that I am not currently active (even though I have my miner running). I'm running at about 1.5Mhash/sec, and I'm wondering if the reason it's not showing up is either because it's too slow to register, or if I have some sort of issues with my connection.

I have no accepted shares after about an hour, but I have 36 requested shares...

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Which pool are you using? No accepted shares most likely means you're not authenticated to the pool.

at 1.3MH/sec (1300KH/sec) you should submit a share every 55 minutes (approx).  A new block is discovered every 10 minutes, so on average you have high chance that you will have to start working on a new block (LP: New work pushed) before you solve a block.  I expect you have never actually submitted a valid share and this is why it's showing you at 0.

I wouldn't advise mining - even in a pool - unless you can get your MH/sec above around 8 or 9...
