Hi There,
Thank you for the post, it helps to make a better picture of mining. So I have been mining for 24 hours now. and what I got so for is this, but am not sure it is worth the effort, I got some questions here too, that I'll appreciate if you can answer:

list_my_accounts
anarcharos 0.000 STEEM 18964.733651 VESTS 0.122 SBD

TOTAL 0.000 STEEM 18964.733651 VESTS 0.122 SBD

I am using my steemIt account name and private key. I thought the "gains" will go strait into my steemit account but it doesn't....I guess the local mining needs to be transferred to my steemIt account. so I have a couple of questions if I may:

1- How much steem or steem dollars have I made so far in 24 hours?

2-How do I tranfer gains mined on my computer to my Steemit account or any other acount or wallet for that matter?

3- where can I find a document listing the commands available for the cli_wallet.

4- what are VESTS ?

Many thanks !!

Anarcharos.
