My machine is showing 0. Is this normal? It appears odd to me.

You have to wait more time... ... 1 minute is too short.... min 6 max 15 minutes to see something....
Mine is doing the same.
The ASIC status keeps going from "CC" to "BB".
Interestingly, I've got it "Alive" on a local solo pool, as well as Antpool.
The miner appears to append a random string if you try to use a to delineate a worker in the username.
This breaks a lot of stratum implementations.
