Edited post to clarify that I was responding to your statement about difficulty not affecting slush reward per round.

I am a noob, but I really need help.  Not personal, just technical. I am using mining.bitcoin.cz and guiminer on my windows system.

My nvidia cards appear to be working properly, and data shows up on my account page just fine. I have a dual cpu 6-core xeon workstation and my cpus are on vacation most of the time, so I added rpcminer, and although guiminer show good results in Mhash/s nothing appears on my account page.  There's no way I can see what's going on except that the cores are all maxed, so something is happening but nothing appears on my account page.

I decided to use mining_proxy.exe and this allows me to at least see some activity from rpcminer but most of the msgs are requests asking for new work.
(2014-06-27 16:36:07,663 INFO proxy getwork_listener._on_authorized # Worker 'my_worker's name' asks for new work)

Is all this normal?

Thank-you for your help.

I clearly stated at the top of the numbered list "Assuming your hash rate does not grow".

all this is quite normal. you have too small of a portion of the entire network to even register. welcome to the pool

I added a GPU 7970 as new worker over an hour ago (Shits N Giggles), it pulls 627.4063295 Mh on Account page, but cannot confirm if it would get included in any reward as it on the same account as my others.

Wouldnt he would get something seeing slush goes down to .0000000 poompteenth bit now in its hourly average?

77c I have side case mounted fans from when i was running duel 5850's with no mounted fans just heat Pipe/sink mod, still have one of them gpu's crossfired, cpu is water cooled, so no heat in the box, everything inc cpu radiator is set to extract bar to side fans and 1 front over hdd's.

Just ran the 5850 as a miner, it peaks at 66c no mounted fans,, just air from the side case. It a good cool box, its getting old now, but the mobo GA-55-UDP didnt allow me to have duel 5850's with the heat sink mod - eg not enough space between cards and it is a large pipe when u add the fans, the original 5850 fans and casings ( that fit) would rattle and groan like old mother hubard at an orgy with no lube.

*EDIT 5850 pulls 230+ (the other 5850 might do more as it was less heat stressed over time from my fan set up)
so if you where to run a 7970+5850 still not hitting a Gh and the pwr used in micro btc, "forget about it" in my best ganster voice.

meh'
