Newbie looking to CPU mine alt currencies

[gracesfall]

Hi all... I'm a complete newbie here and am wanting to do some mining of some of the alt currencies. I've signed up over at coinex.pw and downloaded cgminer. I tried configuring it, but when I go to run it, the command prompt window opens and closes again really fast.

Please help! What did I do wrong?

Go check out ypool.net
Right now pool mining PTS is probably your best bet.  The miner is on their site and instructions as well.

I tried solo mining a cpu only alt called protoshares.

seemed to work easy but do not have the time to run the miner which is in the wallet.


hope this gives you some pointers

It is still easy enough to solo mine with a CPU.
