<p>I have recently begun mining Litecoin and am still fairly new to the crypto-currency community. My main concern at the moment is that whenever I log into my account on litecoinpool.org (the pool that I have chosen to mine in), and view my worker's stats, the only thing that shows up is the amount of invalid shares I have. All of my worker's other stats are at 0, yet my mining software is telling me that I am mining at 50Mh/s and I have accepted over 230 shares. Does this mean that I should be concerned about not receiving rewards or is it simply a delay in the site reflecting my other stats? </p>

<p>P.S In case it is of any importance, I have been mining for a total amount of about 8 hours.</p>

What hardware and software are you using to mine? It's possible you're using SHA256d mining gear which will definitely not mine Litecoins.

You're doing something terribly wrong because the 840m can only do about 40Kh/s. My bet is that you're doing the SHA256d algorithm that Bitcoin uses and not the scrypt algorithm that Litecoin uses.

Should I be concerned about my Litecoin pool not showing anything but my invalid shares?
