I decided today to give Monero mining a try.
First I tried mining with my CPU using wolf9466/cpuminer-multi
and I get about 120H/s which I think is fair for three threads on my AMD CPU.
Then I tried the tsiv/ccminer-cryptonight
fork on a spare NVidia GeForce 210 that I have on my system. I get over 1MH/s. I wish it was true but probably something's wrong :-)

Has anyone else encountered this? How can I measure my actual hashrate? I've been waiting for a good 15 minutes now and the pool doesn't report any mining on my public address.
Should I install some other version of CUDA drivers? I have 6.5 installed.
This is what deviceQuery
looks like for my card:

Result = PASS
Thanks
EDIT: OK I found out why there's no activity on my address. From the pool:
You won't see any balance in your account until a block has been found by the pool and after it has reached a mature status, which occurs about 2 hours after it is found. MoneroHash is a small pool for the time being, and as such it may take some time to find a block.
So my question is now only why the high hashrate...
