i think it only active if your shares get accepted + you do verification if required by pool if any ..
No, I use the multi-x64 cpuminer and I think this does not show (yay and boo)
but this mine x11. which you use?
your problem maybe that the diff is too high, perhaps with cpu it might take a few weeks to get a share ..
i don't know if this process is translatable to x11,
but scrypt mining you 'd work out like this
https://litecoin.info/Difficulty#How_soon_might_I_expect_to_generate_a_block.3F
time=2^32 * diff/hash
with current diff at around 40, imagining a block every 10 minutes, using a quick switch around
gives
hash = 2^32 * diff/time
= 2^32 * 40/600
= 286,331,153.06666666666667
so a 286 mh/s mining rate might give you a block averaging around 10 minutes.
a cpu might give you hmm, maybe 10kh/s a random guess ( a low end vps might give you 1.5khs from memory)
10 kh/s would give you a block average 17179869.184 seconds, or 28 weeks …
edit.
if you're really keen to mine, best bet would be to hire some hash on http://miningrigrentals.com/
but at this price, you'd be better off to put a buy order in and wait for someone to sell you some
