I got myself some computer gear and set out to mine dogecoin through a pool. After many a struggle, I got it up and running only to find that the Kh/s is so low that it would take me a month to mine just one dogecoin - let alone a block!
My processor is Intelcore I7 - 3.40 Ghz - 16 GB - Win32 - Graphic card is AMD Radeon R9 280
My settings somewhere is incorrect as otherwise I should be getting a whole more than the 63 Kh/s my computer is clocking right now. Can someone kindly help tune up my setting. Thank.
Given below is the readings on my PC:

Your intensity is 9. Try changing it to 15 or 18.. e.g. "-I 18" in the command line.. You should easily get 650K.
I have another problem with this pool though.. While my miner shows 650K, the pool only shows 30-50K. E.g. I don't find many shares with it.
For some reason this seems to be valid for ypool.net as well (only Dogecoin).
For now my fix is to mine TAG or NET (which give me the correct rate).
