Hi there. Excuse my absolute noob-ness. I have a Macbook Pro with an Intel 4000 card and have tried to run Asteriod to mine Litecoins and Dogecoins. The max rate I can seem to get is 13 or 14 kh/s. Is this the limit of my card/laptop or is it possible to get a better rate? I am in the US on US pool servers.

Thanks!

According to the scrypt database on the Asteroid site, people are generally getting around 21kh/s with that device. You may just need to increase the intensity you are mining at, which you can do from the small triangle seen here:

If you increase your intensity too high your computer will bog down and may feel less responsive. Too low and you may not be getting the best hashrate.

Thanks for the advice! On my screen, the intensity defaulted to 10 and I've bumped it up to 12 or 13 and still get a bit shy of 14 kh/s. At this point I do not try to use my machine for anything else. Should I give up on mining until I have a more powerful machine and card?

Thanks again!
