Thanks for your advice. I indeed use a laptop with an old Pentium B960 dual-core processor. I thought that this coin would be ok for CPU, but I was wrong. I also have a NVIDIA video card, not so powerful, but I thought it would be ok to mine some of those coins. I tried ccminer but I didn't manage to make it work that neither. So I'm giving up for now on mining coins in general.
Thank you again for you help.
send me your torrentcoin address in PM i'll send you 10 million
What a kind gesture, it's great to see the community come together & help each other out.
In regards to that, I will match your 10 Million TCX donation. Adriano_effe, please also PM me your TCX address.
Oh c'mon, let an overly polite Canadian show you how it's done. ;
Yo Adriano! There are indeed coins that are for CPU mining only. Best of these is MAGI, and one of their crew has just put out a program which will make this a breeze for you and also prevent your machine from melting down. It's called Sweet Spot and manages the MAGI miner. You can find the latest version and instructions here...

The main thread for MAGI is here...

By now you've probably realized that people are using some fairly heavy hardware to mine this stuff, CPU and GPU both. I just did a quick benchmark of the X11 algo with the latest CPU miner and got twice your hash rate per thread, and I've got eight of them. Still, no reason not to use that idle power and this package makes it easy and safe. It's good to use those idle cycles. If we don't give our computers something to do they just sit around thinking of ways to kill us.
As for your Nvidia card, there are algos and programs that they do quite well with. Tell me what model you've got and I'll point you in the right direction and get you started.
