Or simply use p2pool. Eligius? Roll Eyes

I've seen pictures of old versions of the bitcoin wallet and it appears to have a "generate coins" option, why is this option no longer around?

It was a CPU miner. Useless, mining bitcoin with CPU is simply a waste of time and power.

current miners suck, i can't get any to work on my pc

More like you suck, miners work perfectly.

It was a suggestion. I think that Eligius is very simple mining pool.
