Title: cgminer - Best shae: 2.72K ???

It says "Best share: 2.72K" But BTC Guild counts it as 1?

Is this a bug or something?
(Yeah, I know 7Mhash/s is really slow. But sometimes i can get up to 500Mhash/s with some friends)

I have found that when running cgminer for longer periods of time it can post very very random stuff into the best share field, for examples i have seen things like "3x4644FG" in the field before, as well as extremely large sizes like in your post. I am guessing it is just a bug, I use btcguild as well but i also mine to other pools. Sorry I cannot be more useful. Also the difficulty of the share does not necessarily mean you will receive credit for that many shares i.e when you solve and submit a 1/700 difficulty share your not getting credit on your mining pool for 700 shares. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks. The wiki says my Nvidia 520M can get up to 10.5Mhash/s? But i never saw that happen on mine

How can i tweak my GPU (But no overclocking, I still have my warranty)

Mining with this card is useless, especially since you are heating a laptop, not good.

This said, there is nothing wrong with the best share. It is the difficulty of that share, 2.72k is 2720. Since difficulty now is 2.97 millions, for a block to be found, it take a share of 2.97 millions. Yes, it is random, but it works fine.
