Ok, so once again, I'm just a noob...but something doesn't seem right. If I'm correct...its CPU mining only right now? If thats true, how is there such a high hash rate already, and how did someone get 100 coins to sell on Cryptsy over 4 hours ago already?
I started mining last night and I have 25 coins... Wallet was just released 12 hours ago right?
Fair enough...how do you get so much hash rate?
He has a high-end CPU.
I have a i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz but only getting about 83kH/s...does that sound about right? I was getting about 140kH/s at first but it dropped for some reason.
That seems to be about the range you should be in (somewhere between 80k and 140k). This is on a laptop I'm assuming? Laptops like to do crazy things with the processor sometimes, depending on other apps running and settings, like reduce processing power to save batter or decrease charging time. If you're running Windows, it also seems to be terrible at balancing the power. For example last night my windows machine decide that whenever the wallet didn't have focus, it should cut it's power by 75%.
