thanks, I am learning. I am surprised though that apparently it had some 'success' - as you can see on the screenshot

It found a sha256d hash with the right amount of zero bits. It thought it was valid because it checks sha256.
Valid means the number of zero bits matched the difficulty target.
The pool and coin would reject it immediately as it was done with the wrong proof of work. It was an invalid hash with the right amount of zero bits.

You can conclude that cgminer worked with your sha256 asic, and if it had been a sha256 coin it would have worked.

You will nee a cpu (slow), or a gpu (medium), or a scrypt-asic (fast) for this scrypt coin.
