I have a quadcore from 2009 that mines 1 XPM every 2.5 days. It isn't much, but the computer still has enough power to be used for using the internet. My more powerful machines mine much faster, but I don't use those as my desktop.
how much is this in terms of bitcoin? probally not much right? what would someone need to mine lets say .1 of a bitcoin a week?
It's no where near .1 BTC a week if you're using a single cpu. The only reason to mine on a single computer would be to hold a few XPM long term and hope they go way up in price. I have a few servers at my house, so I can get a few a week, but it's nothing that is going to pay the bills.
Maxcoin <- No GPU or ASIC will be able to mine this. So the value should be precise.
GPUs are already mining it. There was a cuda miner for it before it was even launched. The coin failed
