Title: Help!
Post by: B-Dizzy on March 25, 2016, 03:19:19 PM
Hey everyone,

I'm having trouble mining in slushs pool. I'm using guiminer, I have set the pool to other and used stratum.bitcoin.cz with the port set as 3333. I have a intel i3 in my desktop with integrated 2500 graphics. Somehow guiminer says it is mining a 1.4 Mhashes, although slush reports no work at all. Whenever I use my cpu, It wont stop saying "starting" and will sometimes skip to 1.3 Mhashes and sit there with no activity. I have tried rpc miner and pooler cpuminer all with slush's pool and ghash.io, nothing works. Please Help. Here are the pictures of my summary and console. https://gyazo.com/3b336361e8b9fb4614de1191b64d2e3d  https://gyazo.com/1192bc6ca2b926d543a48daa02492242

There is no point attempting to mine Bitcoin with a PC, probably the very low hash rate is why you are seeing nothing Poolside?

Correct. About 5 years or so late to the party. Get a Gekko Sidehack stick USB key for 25$. You'll have 8GH/s+++ (8000mh/s+). Which is still an irrelevant number, but at least the hashrate will be detected.

The current unit of measure is 1TH/s which is 1 million MH/s, which is still a measly 0.09116444BTC per month atm.

You shouldn't it will never pay for itself.  You need 2 things to mine a fast standalone ASIC miner and really really cheap electric. USB has gone the way of the GPU not worth fooling with.
