That is OK. New thingies are sort of fun to play with. This same laptop found a block on the day primecoin was released.



The difficulty now is light years away from the difficulty at release.

If your laptop only mined 1 block on day 1, then it'll probably take anywhere from 3-4 weeks for you to find a block (CPU-wise) Tongue


What I meant was that the laptop has been a fun toy to play with when the timing is right.  My better machines are all running hp10 or RdB. Currently I only want to see the GPU miner working to get a hang of it.

By the way XPM network difficulty appears to be stalling http://192.241.170.170/  Maybe those who desperately tried to mine some coins (probably at a loss) before the GPU miner comes out find there is no need to rush after all. ;P
