Hi guys, nice to meet you all. I’ve been mining for about 2 weeks now. I’m on a bit of a budget so I’ve just been using my mid-range gaming PC for mining while I’m not playing games. I have a Sapphire 6850 card that can hash 200m (220m while overclocked with MSI afterburner) while I was mining BTC on bitminter. I took what little earning i had to BTC-e. The market took a major crash from 200 down to 89usd. I decided to make a foolish/risky move and trade all my BTC for FTC. The next day, FTC took off, and I sold right before it dropped. I got back all my money and some extra. So now FTC has my attention and I’d like to mine it now.

I downloaded everything I was told and I got the FTC wallet to start mining, but I don’t think I’m doing it quite right. I’m a noob at all this. I don’t even know I’m CPU or GPU mining but it &is* working. My processor is an AMD 4130 quad @ 3.7 mhz if that matters. I kept the scantime and threads at 99, not really understanding what they are for. for speed it says "28.215 khash/sec - 99 threads. To get it to work I placed a exe.file called “minerd” into the applications folder.

So basically I’m sure I’m doing something wrong, can someone take a crack at it?

EDIT - My miner will say its mining, but my funds still say zero, and when I click on the mining program it locks up and says “not responding”. so for sure Im doing something wrong

EDIT 2 - It’s still frozen but on my account it says I have shares now at least. Is it possible to mine at 220 m/hash like I was doing with BTC?
