In my opinion, mining with the wallet will be an exercise in frustration at this point. The way to see coins showing up is to use a pool.

You will need either a CPU miner or a GPU miner that supports hmq1725 algo.

Here's a CPU miner:

Here's a GPU miner:
https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases

Then you need to use a pool. There are two that I know of. One is:
https://happypool.co/

To use HappyPool, there's a bit of configuration, but it's not hard. First, go into your wallet and set up a receive address. Stocktrademan, I think, has instructions for that in some of his documentation.

Then, set your miner up to use that address for a payout. Here's my working command line for ccminer:

ccminer-x64 -a hmq1725 -d 0 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.happypool.co:3700 -u PTUDLgTHFUFC2pGM7VxxboSgFGRFup3bMC -p c=PLUS1,stats -b 0

BE SURE TO CHANGE THE WALLET ADDRESS TO YOUR OWN UNLESS YOU"RE WANTING TO DONATE YOUR MINING TO ME! Donations cheerfully accepted, but seriously, change the address to the one you created above. The wallet address is the long string of gibberish starting with P and ending with C following the -u switch.

The command line will also work for the cpu miner. It would look like this:
cpuminer -a hmq1725 -t 2 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.happypool.co:3700 -u PTUDLgTHFUFC2pGM7VxxboSgFGRFup3bMC -p c=PLUS1,stats -b 0
The extra -t parameter limits the number of CPU cores to use. In this case, I have it restricted to two. Fiddle with that to see what works for you. Or leave it out and it will default to using all the cores.

There's another pool that I'm aware of but haven't used here:
