1) do I have any hop of getting some coins?

2)Is Gpu minning an option?

YES its random
NO not yet

I keep debating this based on my experience so far, and I can't come to an answer.

Is raw pps the key to mining, or number of instances?

In the beginning, it seemed like after a pretty long wait for initial blocks, they started coming in in a fairly random dispersion.... the machines with much higher pps rates definetly got more blocks than the ones with lesser rates, but not at all in a linear fashion.

So my question is, would people expect to see greater block generation from a single process getting 1200 pps, or 3 instances each getting 400 pps?

Any thoughts?

It seems logical that it's absolutely the same. Although only the developer of the coin may be 100% positive on that.

If i have to compile myself, it's rubbish.

There appears to be a network fork at block#14214 just now. Please run this command

getblockhash 14215
and report your current block number

I think I lost 6 blocks they are gone.

It would be logical for it to be absolutely the same if we were mining in pools. We're not. There's also a tremendous amount of luck involved, hence my question of whether the pure pps rate is key, or the number of instances available to make a lucky find...

Who knows, it could be a 1000x speedup. I would be careful before saying it's rubbish. Compile and see.

I have obtained about a 25x speed up from updating.

I suggest you wait until a shrink wrap package from Best Buy is available.

I waited for over 2 days to get those two blocks and they are gone. Seems like a tragic story for my CPU.

Really? That makes no sense. I just don't wanna bother compiling, my VS 2012 hasn't been used for a while.
