If you find a block. You’ll see a new line at the bottom saying something like “X blocks found”.

It’ll actually tell you but I hope you are feeling very very lucky as with a network hashrate of 250309 H/s you are just 0.0058% of the network.

Failing that run `listtransactions` - it’ll be an empty array if nothing mined

Probably none, both because of the slow start and big mining farm…  
anyway you can check it… in another terminal type `./src/zcash-cli getinfo`

You will want to mine in a mining pool, since you only have one CPU.

You don’t have to put any address in zcash.conf
