Hello everyone, I have a laptop with 12 G ram, 2.4 ghz core i7 and Nvidia gforce gt 650m and Windows 8.1
Tried cgminer, cudaminer, multiminer and guiminer. For setting up each one I specified only the server, user name and password, and did not change anything else.

So far the fastest has been guiminer at 20 mhash/s, which I think is a very bad thing.
Should I expect more? What settings and miner should I use? Or am I trying to empty the sea with a bucket?

Thanks for your help.

You are trying to empty the sea with a bucket Smiley
Bitcoin mining is only profitable using ASIC's nowadays.

Watch the youtube video on mining, mining with a CPU ended a few years ago, GPU mining ended in late 2012.  Now you need what's called an ASIC miner.
