What is incorrect? Have you tried rebooting the miner, to see if it works, or have you tried a different pool?

Open it up make sure everything is connected.  You have a very odd number. 

If everything is connected well then look then take a screenshot of your mining screen and we can try to help.  Also I would try another pool.  Make sure difficulty is not set to something odd even though it should auto adjust on most, i like it on 256.

This might help:

Just make sure you set a worker difficulty on bitminter.com for their worker that is the same or higher than the difficulty set in the dragons' configs, to prevent them from throwing away valid work.

Is this the Minimum difficulty ? My worker's Min.Dif. is set to 1. What should the value be? Anything to do with CGMINER?

This is only for Dragon ASIC devices. I'm not sure if there are any other ASIC machines with the same problem.

The Dragon machines have a broken implementation of the stratum mining protocol.

With Dragon miners you have to choose in the Dragon miner's config which difficulty to mine at. The server will tell the Dragon miner to switch difficulty. Dragon miner doesn't care. Dragon miner will mine at the wrong difficulty and throw away most of your work.

Example: If the pool tells your Dragon to mine at difficulty 32 but the device's config is set to difficulty 512, then the Dragon machine will happily throw away most of your work and the pool will show you mining at a very low speed.

Solution: set the minimum difficulty for your Bitmitner worker to the same difficulty you have chosen in the Dragon miner config, or higher. You can do this under "my account" -> "workers" in the bitminter.com website menu. Click the gears icon to access the settings for a worker. Also contact the manufacturer and ask them to properly implement the stratum protocol.

If you have one or more of these horribly broken machines, make sure you follow the solution above.

If you don't have this specific mining hardware, don't worry about it.

Also make sure to leave the miner going on the pool for at least a couple of hours so that the hash rate stabilises.
