Not only is CPU mining illogical, it's near impossible for a newbie. I tried to set it up just for a laugh, and I couldn't even figure out how to get it going without a GPU (which I don't have) and gave up after a short while. I'm sure I *could* get it going, but it definitely has been made very tough to do for a newbie - if you're savvy enough to get it working, you are DEF savvy enough to realize it's not profitable, which is a good thing, will save people time and money.
