if you want to mine in solo, and this what it appear to be, you need to set scantime and expire to 1, so there is less stale

share above target is actually an error, it mean you're not mining properly, you're probably getting lot of HW

^^^Ignore this. Everything he said is wrong.

When you mine solo to your own bitcoind you will get no shares, only block notification changes. Share above target means you found a low difficulty share that isn't good enough to solve a block - normally this message is filtered unless you're in verbose mode since it's not useful to you. The only notification you'll ever get is if you solve a block.

Cgminer ( ver 4.9.0 ) never says accepted, it only tells me the block height changes. If I turn on verbose, I get lots of "share above target" notifications and an occasional Hashrate report ( same information that is in the header ). I am hashing at about 50 GH/s with an Antminer U3 so I am sure it needs to be optimized, however, I have seen it peak around 65 when I was mining in a pool.

My question is this: Is this reporting normal? I have tried to find a post about what solo reporting looks like online, but have not been able to find anything. I am okay with it not providing the information, as long as it is mining.

Cgminer is happy with the set-up ( no reported errors ) but not very informative..

Thanks,

You can try mining at http://solo.ckpool.org/ to see if its setup properly. If so then yes you're fine but you should consider staying in a solo mining pool for the benefits.

We're going to need a bigger heatsink.

I don't know the full answer here, but cgminer should not have accepted shares when solo mining. The only time you'll get one is if you find a block, IIRC.
