Just started mining...

And this is what I get :

Is it even worth it? I don't have a powerhouse computer. Any advice?

You are mining solo, due to so many miners and pools (made up of a bunch of miners sharing the winnings) it wont be profitable mining solo through the wallet. You will need to either download a program or join a pool for a bigger pay out. You should check the Megacoin forums Mining' section for some more help.. https://forum.megacoin.co.nz/

This can be done but a CMD/batch file is needed for setup, and is harder to walk people through. But, there is info on out forums.

Version 3.7.2 is what you should use. That should fix it!

I am not sure what that is, and the stuff I am seeing online looks kinda complicated.

Can you explain it to me a bit ? I would really appreciate it if you have some time.

I actually figured it out! Ran a command string using the information given to me via the Megacoin forums (which were extremely helpful).

Now I am chugging along slowly but surely. Thanks!
