to ramble on


so about 1hr 40 to get your first bit of coin from the time you mined it.
(not that bad, aurora got up to nearly 2 weeks to confirm your coin.. was so nuts)

Most pools also have some sort of "blocks" link and some let you search blocks.

so you can find one you were mining on earlier and watch as it gets the confirmations it needs.

Most of the blocks links dont scroll far enough.. so you need the search to find a specific block.. but you can alse the thing i said about confirmations on that page.
