I started using cpuminer with slush's pool. I have no external ASIC devices or anything, just my AMD processor, though the processor doesn't really matter to this question. I did the math, and here it is:
2 Mhash/s.
About 7GHash for 1 BTC I'm guessing. (this is all approximate)
7Ghash / 2 = 3.5Ghash. (2 is my Mhash/s)
That means it would take 3.5 million seconds to get 1 btc (Worth I think 600$ cad) with my comp running to get 1 BTC. I think.
Approximately.
So that's 40 days or 960 hours. I play minecraft a ton. No problem.
I just want to know if my calculations are correct, if I run this while playing minecraft for a total of approximately 1k hours I would get 600$?
I know there is tons of factors but just before this I got one (yay!!!) thing, which is feedback, and I checked Slush's pool (which I'm using) and it says Estimated Reward: 0.00000001 BTC.
Now I'm thinking...hmmmmmm..... one hundred millionth of a btc from...idk...
Can someone help me with my calculations? I'm still getting 2 MHash/s and idc if you say it isn't worth it, I play minecraft so much idc lol.
Also if anyone knows how to speed up my MHash I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be getting more. AMD A6-3600 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 2.10Ghz. Latest SDK or whatever. Idk. I looked through a ton of tuts. My bat code I'm using is:
minerd.exe -o
http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 -u worker -p pass -a sha256d -R 2
It goes to stratum and gets some error unknown method getblocktemplate, It must be normal cuz I tried this on two computers same Mhash and same error. Anything I'm doing wrong or if my calculations are wrong then please say so. Any help appreciated. I want to make money for being on my computer, I use it a lot so might as well get some money X3
Thanks in advance
