I know a lot bit more than I did since my last post.
I decided to start over from the beginning this is what I did
downloaded cpuminer-installer-1.0.2.zip
I have 7zip so I used that to extract the files into a bitcoin folder in my program files
I have bitcoin installed and I installed a wallet
I then downloaded bitcoin-rpcminer-20110227-win32bin.zip and using 7zip I extracted the files into my bitcoin folder.

The interesting thing is in my c: drive I have a new folder called cpu-miner I extracted all the files from cpu-miner.exe and opened all the files using notepad++ and the only file that I assume I should be editing is .bss
because it is blank. I hope I found the configuration file for cpu-miner so when I run minderd it will mine bitcoins for me and not the programmer.

Also rpcminer-cpu and rpcminer-4way show a return value of 7 but arent set up. I will repay anyone who helps me figure out this.

I know that in notepad++ I need to define XML DOM elements and use hashtags to run said programs. I need help with a place to start.

I couldn't find any XML DOM samples that related to anything important and it's way more difficult than html. Shorter post I hope you read the whole thing. Thank you very much info@X-Spanded.com

whether it is XML or PHP Notepad++ can handle it also python and MS-dos style  I am very impressed with what notepad++ can do and if anyone deserves a donation it's the guy that designed it.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Mining with your CPU is pointless. You need a good graphics card

I am forging ahead in the bss file my first line is #include C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\src\test\test_bitcoin.cpp
I'm going through the test to run with my rcpminer-cpu the readme files directed me to go to... lol. read it if you know where it is. In a few moments I will have some results

He's trying to mine on a notebook.






Yeah....

Oh... You are that guy trying to mine with a Pentium M. OK, so here's what:

You will probably never going to get a single bitcoin or even satoshi. Your CPU is too slow for the network so you will be mostly processing stale shares. You need a GPU.

A GPU is a requirement, not a recomendation.

LOL

If you just enjoy the technical challenge of getting your CPU to mine, then go for it. But aren't there much better ways to have fun on your computer? If you are motivated by the idea that you will get a few coins, then forget it, not going to happen.
