The system was using both the central processor and the video card generating about 16 MHs/s.

Lol. It was fun anyway. At least I can now say that I have actually mined BTC. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>TL;DR Mining, you would have to run a MacBook Pro for 3 straight years at full performance in order to earn USD$0.02 (at present value).&quot;</p><p>-reddit[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
