Current situation (v0.16.0 with my patch) is, you need to have good internet connection and have a little luck to be able to get some Steem Power by mining. Mining with lots of nodes (servers or VPS's) all over the world would help as well, but it may or may not be profitable.
I read that a 0 meant you weren't mining and a 1 meant you were. In my system monitor the cores are flat...
Are there any active chats for mining help?
On https://steemit.chat/ , the #mining channel and/or #witness channel.

Profit is not my main motivation, I like the process. My account was created through steemit.com will I need to create a new one to mine?
