Similar question myself... trying to find a resource for an up-to-date difficulty and block reward value so I can do some calculations before purchasing a rig.  I see the difficulty listed at https://pool.emercoin.com/stats, but where can I find the current block reward?

Newbie so please excuse the stupid questions.  I am interested in mining and after doing some research I like emercoin.  I went ahead and installed the wallet as per the instructions for POS at http://emercoin.com/MINING_GUIDE_POS.  Wallet is setup correctly (encrypted and unlocked for block minting only) and I am synced with the green check mark (178692) yet for roughly half the day not a single thing has happened.

I also looked into mining POW with the instructions at http://emercoin.com/MINING_GUIDE_POW.  Again I followed the instructions listed, but when running gcminer it did not find any devices.  I'm assuming because this is an older gpu card.  Can you not mine with CPU?

This is an old laptop as I am just playing around to see how everything works before deciding to actually pursue 'really' doing this.  Windows 10, 64-bit, and an Nvidia GeForce GT300M.

What do I need to do differently here to get some coins mined?  Is there a mining software that would be recommended over gcminer which would change the results I am seeing for the POW mining?
