If this was generated by my CPU, that is odd because BTC Guild does not show any contributions from my computer.

That's odd, is your "worker name" correct in bfgminer?  In BTCGuild, in the "Your Recent PPLNS Shift Statistics" window of the Dashboard page, are any of the numbers in the "Shares" column non-zero?

Does the user need to care about the difficulty and its minimum?

# In bfgminer, what does Accepted mean?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-11-09)

While mining with a pool,
I recently noticed among the numerous "Stratum from pool 0 requested" lines that
bfgminer prints, one saying

```
 Accepted (hex number) CPU 2 Diff 288/2

```

Does this mean that I found a valid block? Or something else?

Looking at my BTC Guild account, I see no evidence of any blocks found by my computer.
