Am I even Mining?

  Ok, before all the enthusiasts are all on me for Litecoin mining with a Nvidia graphics card, I don't plan to mine for an extensive period of time and this computer and more specifically this graphic card is more targeted for gaming at the time of purchase and for the foreseeable future.  I just want to mine for a little and I am not interested in creating a $2000 rig just to mine all day.  I want to casually mine for maybe a couple of hours every few days.  

 

With that said I had a question about the CMD prompt.  I have absolutely no idea what it is displaying and I am not sure if I am not even mining.  As you may have seen already it continues to say that it is running at around 280 khash/s and it accepts then x/x...  I don't really understand this and just want to know if I am mining correctly.

 

Thank you in advance and I hope this gets solved but either way, Happy Mining!

Sounds like you are mining! You are seeing something like this yeah?

Are you in a pool? What does the pool say?

That hashrate is 15 khash/s more than mine (the best in that picture compared to my best)  :(

Everything is going well then.
