I'm using my personal computer and trying to mine bitcoins.
I'm rather new to this and was wondering if I did everything alright. Thanks in advance.
Does this mean it's mining?

- You are using an ancient version of
bfgminer - CPU mining was disabled by default even in
bfgminer 3.10.0, your gpu doesn't seem to get detected - You're about 4 years late for CPU mining and 3 years late for GPU mining: Even if you get
bfgminerto run, your PC will not be powerful enough to even find shares that would be accepted by a pool. See e.g. Can I do mining with a normal PC?
So, that is that. Thank you for your information. – kittenparry – 2015-07-20T10:51:43.667
In recent versions of bfgminer, GPU mining is also disabled for the same reason. Not sure if that applies to OP's version or if their card is simply unsupported. – Nate Eldredge – 2015-07-21T04:29:52.837
GPU was still enabled then. From the bfgminer 3.10.0 release notes: Features: [...] OpenCL GPUs, such as AMD Radeons [...]

@NickODell So, it only works with these usb devices, is that correct? – kittenparry – 2015-07-20T00:18:52.297
It depends on what's enabled when compiling bfgminer. Where'd you get it? – Nick ODell – 2015-07-20T00:21:53.403
