I have had intermittent success with GPU mining, so I decided to give CPU mining a go this time.  It has been disenchanting.  I am about ready to just stick with BOINC and mine a different coin.  Everything I seem to follow on these threads lead to dead ends.  I have no idea if things are setup correctly.  Running v1.1.5.7-g71-prod, with 24 thread system. BOINC at 100%.  CPU pool mining turned on.  It has been 24 hours and nothing.  Anything wrong with my config?  And what is this Beacon payment i keep hearing about?

1) You will receive nothing from pooled mining until you have found your first block. You must first find a block with pooled mining turned on in order to be enrolled into the mining pool.

2) CPUMining requires that beacon payments be sent to the network once or twice per day for each of the projects in the projects panel that you are enrolled in. In order to cpu mine you must have enough to pay the first beacon(s).


***EDIT***
Also make sure that you are cpu mining correctly as per the guide linked earlier in this thread. CPU mining is done differently with this coin than other coins.
