I know the answer to my question, but I'm going to ask anyway: what are you mining with? Please not your laptop.

if you try to mine on a laptop then you might as well get a hammer and smash the laptop. it will have the same result as mining and be alot faster.
if you want to mine on something for fun buy a usb block erupter.
