I agree, although the log currently spams every minute:

2013.04.21 [22:09]  GeForce GT 650M (#1) ran out of work. Idling...

Does this mean it is actually doing things very fast? Or does it just clarify it has a big glitch?

Also, are the "proofs accepted by server" (little gold box in the bottom bar of the picture) supposed to go up quickly? Because on the mac, they certainly do not!

Hello, I started using Bitcoins a few days ago, and initially I was using my tower PC. Everything seemed to be working, slowly but surely. I am using BitMinter and I was getting around 22Mhps. Its a very power computer (used as a server), yet I don't know if 22Mhps is good. Anyway, every 30 minutes or so I would get a "proof from server" and I guess that means something good. All I know is that by looking on the Bitminter website, the bitcoins were going up (very very slowly).

So, today I tried BitMinter on my Retina MacBook pro. I thought it might do a little worse, but I tried it anyway, and to my surprise... Somehow it says I am getting 100Ghps+. Either this is a normal amount and my big PC is very bad, or something is wrong. To add to the fun, over a period of 5 hours I got only 2 "proofs from server", meaning I generated little to no amount  of bitcoins. In fact, whilst it was going, the PC got 100's of proofs!

Can anyway have a go and help me find what I am doing wrong here? 100Ghps should be better and produce more bitcoins than 22Mhps right? Because right now its the complete opposite!

The image below has been taken from my macbook. If your wandering, I quit the program and restarted, just to be sure, thats why the uptime is only 25 minutes.

Thanks all.
