This overclocked i7 still hasn't generated any keys after 8 hours...
It may take longer than 8 hours to generate a block.
Have you previously generated bitcoins? Are the number of blocks listed at the bottom of Bitcoin greater than 42650? Those need to download before it can start generating coins. How many connections are listed at the bottom of Bitcoin? Did you click Options > Generate Coins? How much CPU does your process viewer show that Bitcoin is using? Is your Internet connection steady? I had problems when I tried sharing Internet from my smartphone to my computer.
No, but..42663 blocks..8 connections..and yes, generating. Bitcoin uses 50-80 CPU..but it only has access to two cores until I bump the VM it is in to 4 cores..Operating over tor by the way.
