The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

Intel Quad Core Q8200 2.33Ghz

No GPU
64 bit operating system
Tried Diablo, CG, BTCM, etc..
Most miners just crash or ask for opencl.dll

No GPU Excuse me but with what do you want to mine? Miners run on GPU, no GPU=you can't mine Of course they say no OpenCL.dll, you have no GPU Sure, you "can" mine with your CPU but it is just wasting power and time |

Mining with CPU is, as i said, just wasting time and power.
You can try mining Litecoins with CPU and trade them for bitcoins, it's a much better way to use your CPU.

http://ufasoft.com/open/bitcoin/I'm using this on one of my dedicated servers with a single xeon proc (8x thread) and I'm pulling 13Mhash/s. |

http://pool-x.eu/gettingstartedJust download the 64bit version and run it. And if you want use Pool-x as a pool. @nothing: that is a bitcoin miner. And, indeed, 13Mhash/s using 8 core is wasting power...

Abort abort!
There is a GPU client on Litecoin now too, CPU mining on it is pretty much pointless now

Yes, there exists such a client. But because of opportunity cost, it hasn't caught on. Right now, comparing the LTC difficulty to the BTC difficulty, and the hashrates a particular GPU can give you on each, there's no point in using your GPU on Litecoin; you'd be getting an order of magnitude more money from mining BTC. So GPUs are not as of yet a threat to CPU mining on Litecoin, nor will they be until Litecoin becomes much more valuable or the Bitcoin difficulty increases dramatically. |
If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.

useful - I knew one or two miners did but couldn't remember which ones. However I didn''t think you could get 10+ Mhash/s out of a CPU at the moment (though I may not be following closely enough as I don't have a powerful/multi-cored enough CPU.) How does it compare against pooler's miner? marked |

You're wrong while GTX680 with 1536 SP is coming out It will come out, but on the same time the prices will make it unprofitable as compared to AMD GPU's. I could get one of those AMD 24-core server cpu's to mine for around 100MH's (estimated), but the electric costs and the processor cost would be exorbitant. (around $4600 each) |
