Okay, so I *think* I'm mining on all of my reasonably fast rigs, with around 115 H/s of total hash rate. However, after nearly twelve hours I apparently haven't found a single block. That's either really bad luck based on my calculations, or else my systems aren't actually mining. Here are the logs from a few systems -- if anything looks off, can someone help me out?

FYI, I cleared the log right before this system was restarted. My question is the line that says:
"ERROR c:\temp\bytecoin\bitmonero-master-current\src\p2p\net_node.inl:246 UPNP_AddPortMapping failed."
I'm getting that on several systems, mostly Windows 8 systems I think? When I'm mining and enable show_hr, I see all of the systems hashing, but again zero blocks in half a day seems unlikely. By my math, there is a total of ~55000 H/s going on with MRO right now, which means I account for ~0.18% of the total hash rate and should thus find 2.62 blocks per day.

2014-May-06 07:16:20.417776 [miner 2]Found block for difficulty: 3155187
Apparently I found some blocks a few hours ago. But they didn't show up in my wallet at first? How many confirms does it take for found blocks to appear in your wallet, or was it because I happened to type "refresh" in my wallet a few minutes ago while trying to figure out what was going on? I guess all is well and I'm now back on track, though it's funny that only one system found any blocks and it was two blocks within 40 minutes.
Anyway, I'm just looking for good information on how to mine MRO most effectively, and I may end up being the one to provide that (for Windows users at least). If I can get enough of a clear insight into how everything works, I'll see about writing a blog post on the subject. :-)
