Miners not generating any shares

Hello

I'm returning to mining after something like 8 years, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. I've configured 2 cards via ccminer, doing merged mining for dogecoin.

Cards are running combined around 1 MH/s according to their output, but after about 1 hour and 20 minutes the dashboard still shows no activity. Perhaps I am just impatient? I don't want to sit here hashing away for nothing! ;)

No shares are being generated at all

Edit: nvm, I think my expectations of shares were skewed by a smaller pool. I'm guessing it might take days at this rate

Yea, Scrypt is generally dominated by ASICS so a GPU rig with just 1MH could possibly take days before finding a share.

With GPU's you may wish to consider a more GPU friendly algorithm like Ethash or Etchash.

It might be of the same topic.

Also mining with a GPU miner showing me good values though onj the prohashing dashboard there's no single share visible at all?

Mining rate is about 800 Mhash/s and there are already 400+ shares accepted according to the mining GUI. SO I wonder if there's some configuration error although the prohashing site is properly recognizing my workers...
