user13441: I just started mining on Slush Pool using Macminer with a CPU. I am getting a hashrate of 12.28kH/s with the Scrypt hash algorithm, which I guess is not a big rate at all.
I am wondering about the acceptance bit, do I have to wait for the whole block to finish, so I can get the acceptance and shares, or does this mean I'm wasting my time and it's not going to be accepted? 

user85: If you're scrypt mining a SHA256d coin, you will probably never get any shares accepted. You need to use the mining algorithm the coin uses.
