Hello there  Smiley
so am new to the mining and i said why not try it  Roll Eyes
but i didn't wan't to harm my pc so i downloaded rpcminer on an rdp and ran it
and i'm using slush's pool....
the rpcminer gives me a rate of ~2000 khash/s
does it even worth or not?
and if i ran the miner on 10 rdps ( using the same worker ) does it all count as one or not?
i mean if every one equals ~2000 khash/s, does it all count as 20000 khash/s  Grin
Thanks in advance  Wink

How are you getting 2,000 khash/s from a CPU?  What CPU is it and how many cores?

That's probably on bitcoin itself, if we froze difficulty and the block halving, you could easily mine a whole bitcoin in just under 5000 years.

It would be easy to make fun of this  . . . the clock speed of your CPU is different from 2,000khs. There is a difference between CPU computer speed and mining speed.

I have a duel processor motherboard with duel 2.66 processors and only got ~850 h/s from CPU mining.
Either I am not doing something right, or the numbers above are not correct, not sure which...

Sounds like perpetual motion to me Wink
I'm not new to computers, but I'm not a server admin either...
Being a forum newbie, I am not too sure if humor is used as a weapon in here.
Getting to my point: is my CPU mining @~850h/s a low number or have I misconfigured my software?
I stopped mining, as I was told it was "a waste of time" (an oft heard statement in the realm of BTC)
I feel I must repeat that I am new to this, I having only been studying up for about two weeks now.
-I must wonder: if the system was designed for solo mining via CPU, then how can "pro miners" knock us little guys off the end of the scale?
-The implied answer is "They did"

I have ordered two 1.6 gH USB AntMiners, so the question is really moot, except that I don't know the answer.
I read this morning that "no less than 3.5 GH/s" is the new bottom line for mining, I suppose I will be ordering some more AntMiners then
(do we all have boxes of antiquated hardware in the closet?)

Yours is right. But cpu mining went out in 2010. Satoshi wanted everyone to mine but pool mining, gpus, fpgas and asics were invented. Usbs will probably lose you money. You should really just buy Bitcoin because you'll make more. The humor was targeted at op.

Humor is fine Wink
As for the usb investment, well, I spent $129 to start.
I have to start somewhere, right?
I have seen conversations referring to banks of USBs adding up to 90+ GH/s,
so I saw it as a way to start in with it all, with opportunity to expand as I go.
I do realize that all of this hardware will be "old" in 6 months.
The hardest part of deciding what to do is that there are plenty of miners with more funds at their disposal,
miners who can buy the top of the line hardware, and then tell us (me, the newbie) that unless I spend $10k or $20k,
I am just pipe dreaming.
The good news is, if I just don't order a drink with lunch for a month, my money is made up Wink
-If I find that BTC mining is hopeless for me, I will investigate other newer currencies with greater chances for success.
Final statement: I'm going to make this work, somehow...

This thread:
<https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421712.0>
prompted me to go ahead and order two 1.6 gh units.
I will see how they work out...
