I'm still not seeing any hashes where as the miner is pumping out at 1XXX kh/s at quad core. Any idea what I've done wrong?

Frankly, it's not worth CPU mining. Better to buy if you don't have a decent GPU. Your best bet for CPU mining would probably be X11 based coins.

Somehow, my miner is now working, seems like it goes on and off randomly... I am currently CPU mining, this is how I've set up my file:
minerd -a keccak -o stratum+tcp://365.curdozer.com:3333 -u user -p pass

How come it's not worth CPU mining when my hash rate is at 10.74 Mh/s

The sha256 derivative algorithms are targeting GHs and THs...with 10Mhs you will mine 365 years one block...probably you'll burn your CPU before that and sell your home for electricity bills.

e.g: the pool you are mining on has 3.5Ghs with only 3 people.
and..your hash is a statistical mistake.
Simply compare the amount of your CPU cores (4?) to 1000 of mid range AMD GPU. Thats the difference.

Hmm, valuable points, I'll have to read up on them. Regardless, the pool isn't registering my hash anyway so I'm done with this. Thanks!
