Okay.. Because on my laptop I got like 4,000 KH/s, it seemed like a lot. How do I fix this?

That's most likely 4000 KH/s mining SHA-256 which means 4KH/s mining FC.

Oh. So basically, it sucks?

Yeah mining on a laptop is usually not a good idea.

Well, I got a fairly powerful PC. How much would a decent rig cost that gets a good amount of FTC per day?

I would talk to CryptoCurrencyMiners

here is his thread:

He can make you a good offer.

Alrighty, thanks! =).

FTC and P2Pool seems to have a number cal issue that doesn't exist with LTC and P2Pool, so you have to run for at least 3-4 hours (assuming you are getting more than 200 k/hs) before you submit a share.

Maybe he's not using scrypt but sha256?

Heya! Question on FTC mining here,
My PC mines with 7000kh/s, however when using p2pool or another pool, it doens't show my mh/s appearing, or any shares getting accepted. Once two shares got accepted, and I got like 0.001 FTC from a pool, and my khash/s said 11. I've left my PC on for 30 minutes today with p2pool, and it did constantly do things and mine,, but a share never got accepted, but on a calculator it says 7000kh/s is fast and should get a lot of coins per day, however if a share does so little, and are so rare, how is it still profitable?
You're not getting 7000kh/s from your rig, especially if you have no clue what's in it. Most likely your flags are all messed up, and causing your GPU(s) to error out, thus the false reading on hashing power. 7000kh/s would mean you have, at the very least, 10 x 7950 GPUs in your rig. Your miner is erroring out, causing HW errors on your GPU. Do NOT leave this running.

need more info.

1. What pool
2. What miner?
3. What command to the mine?
4. any rejects/stales?

1. p2pool
2. Reaper
3. Uh. I just set up the config with the adress and stuff.
4. I don't think so, sometimes it does pop up some line saying some stuff, but it's still 0|0
