Dude, The Cpu does other things for your computer also. Just running the command reduces your hashrate.
Ah I see. Well if my client is mining, should I be seeing stuff under transactions?
Also it says it's only connected to 7-8 active connections, is that enough?
Yeah I too have this question... I see the work at 100% on the CPU and stuff...even under windows task manager the program is using 100% of the CPU... yet I have no clue if the program is actually "mining" or just using the CPU for hoots and hollars.
