If it's any help, I've noticed that the mining pools will only report your hash rate based upon the time it took for your client to find a share. I spent a lot of time and frustration figuring this out until I found a random post talking about it.

Example, I have 8 miners running a pool on Quark but only a few of them show up at a time as doing work since not all of them find a share at the same time. The server side estimate of your hash rate has nothing to do with what you're getting paid, its all about what you find.

Makes sense, so maybe I just need to wait and cross my fingers then. Is it possible to tell if it's even worth mining on my pc? I've been mining for over an hour with no shares.
