AWESOME!
That server is great. I made 10 cents in an hour.
I read a thing that I misinterpreted and it actually said 7 GHash/s for 24h would get 1btc. So I screwed up. My computer is rlly loud for some reason with cpuminer loading and i got 27 hundred millionths of a btc when i could have went to the chain of 20-60 hundred millionths of a btc. no extra electricity, no wait...tons more. heh. 50000 years. well, lets make a guiness world record and pass my computer down, running, cpuminer, and have generations use it till the 99999th generation gets 600 usd.
thats a good idea.
so in short it sucks.
so is there any way i can get it to a rate that actually earns something? like really. can i screw with the flags in my bat code to make it run faster? its using sha256d...not scrypt..

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.  Wink

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  Smiley
