Rat.2, you may want to look in to mining litecoins. It will also earn you next to nothing, but at least a bit more than mining bitcoins. CPU's are utterly useless now for mining bitcoins, and in a few months if specialized hardware enters the market, so will GPUs. You missed the boat by ~2 years Im afraid.
You are using a cpu to mine. it is a waste to do so. a gpu can do a hundred times the work per watt. that is why you are being told you are wasting money. if you have free electric you will earn a coin every few months. years not months. I earn a coin every few days using a gpu. your speed is 200 khps my speed is 670 mhps My gear is 3350 times faster then your gear I burn 225 watts to do this. you need to burn under .1 watts if you pay for power to make any money.  

    The progam does not care if you have open cl on your cpu because it is just too slow. it only looks for gpu to be open cl

I was only ever going to be having the minter running in background while i used my computer rather then having it running around the clock

LTC do sound like a good idea i might mine them then Smiley

but I do still believe my Cpu could be working a lot faster using a different minting program GUIminer - V2012-02-19 i get around 500Khps
unfortunately for me i prefer the gui of bitminter

 Huh
I don't have a lot of money and i certainly don't have amazing really fast gpu's or cpu's

but i have a few questions to ask about the minter
i have Intel® SDK for OpenCL Applications 2013 Beta installed

In the Application kernel builder it tells me this:
Intel OpenCL CPU device was found!
Device name:          Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU B815 @ 1.60GHz
Device version: OpenCL 1.1 (Build 31360.31441)
Device vendor: Intel(R) Corporation

Yet when i start the minter it tells me this:
2012.08.24 [10:41] BitMinter Client v1.3.0beta3 started
2012.08.24 [10:41]  Hint: Use performance mode for best GPU results (bottom right button)
2012.08.24 [10:41] No OpenCL-compatible GPUs detected
2012.08.24 [10:41]  Lacking OpenCL support. If you want to use GPUs, please install the latest drivers from your graphics card manufacturer.
2012.08.24 [10:46]  Warning: Electricity-wasting slow CPU implementation in use
2012.08.24 [10:46] Difficulty is now 2190866


Why is there a electricity wasting slow implementation in use?
how do i remove it?
why can't it detect my cpu has opencl support?

Im not minting very fast either between 150-210 Khps
and the dial isn't anywhere near the green

using 2 cores the max it says i could do is 3000
but i know you shouldn't push it that far
