You might want to test on a ridiculously easy to mine coin (SHT?). Then use the same setup with your target coin.

Then use a pool.
That's what I wanted to suggest you. That way you can check everything works properly.

You'll just waste your electricity if you're solo mining, unless it's a really new altcoin that later on is going to increase in price.

Usually if it's showing something like 1.05k then it's hashing (mining).  But what alt coin is it?  Why don't you try on one where it's easier to get coins so you know it's working at least, then move to a harder one where it will take longer to mine something?

Don't go for solo mining unless you've got a beast hashrate..

Yeah, I always found solo mining a waste of time.  And gets worse if you have a low end machine.

Just join a pool it's not rocket-science. They have steps to configure your miner.
Don't waste time on solo mining.

I setup solo mining on an altcoin. How do I know if it is working?
I'm not getting any LW
I see best share: 1.05K and its going up

Does that mean it's working?
