I know the answer to my question, but I'm going to ask anyway: what are you mining with? Please not your laptop.

I´m newbie too but I did mine with pooler-cpuminer-2.3.2-win64  and one miner´s pool data..

if you try to mine on a laptop then you might as well get a hammer and smash the laptop. it will have the same result as mining and be alot faster.
if you want to mine on something for fun buy a usb block erupter.

odolvlobo ..yes i use my laptop for mining... i do not have funds to invest on extra hardware.. if anyone can let me know if i can make some money with existing resource and then i can invest on better hardware...
