what does it mean if it is booo or yay when I am mining? also which kh/s rate I am looking for?
accept ...... 300 kh/s or thread 1...... 20 kh/s
Accept 300kh/s tells you the total hashrate of the processor. Thread 1 tells you the total hashrate of that individual core/thread.
Apparently heavycoinpool has been grinding away on one block for more than 2 hours. What am I missing?
HeavyCoinPool has a very small slice of the network hashrate right now. That means that it takes a while for it to find blocks, but when they do, your individual returns will be higher per block. Ultimately it should level out over time no matter where you mine.
