check these out. Best way to be productive mining. I'm waiting on my Jalapeno.
These hook up via usb and you can mine with your comp.

Thank you you have finished my fruitless efforts.
So, If I understand this right. It is basically a lottery so I could technically solve the problem? But I only get like 1 entry where if I have a bad ass computer I might get to put 100 entries in the lottery?

Yes although due to the "lottery effect" most miners participate in mining pools where they split the reward when a block is found by any of the members. To answer your second question. Correct however the scale is likely a little off. It would be more like you get 1 lottery ticket and a high-end rig get 40,000 lottery tickets and the biggest mining farms get 20 million lottery tickets.

You don't. CPU mining is dead, and your laptop doesn't have a compatible GPU. Even if it did given the specs of most laptops you could expect to earn maybe a cent ($0.01) worth of Bitcoins a day by spending far more than that in electricity.
Mining either requires high end GPU (and preferably a lot of them in a special built "rig") or dedicated hardware (FPGA and ASICs). The days of just gabbing any computer off the shelf are long gone. Mining is far more competitive now.

I would like to post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=42.0
But I am a newbie.
Ok so, I have a lenovo ideapad z570. I am running linux kernel 3.0.25 (pretty sure) with my pretty purple ubuntu oneric ocelot.
I am looking for a simple, hopefully gui but bash is fine too, bitcoin mining program. I guess I would like to just set it up to use my gpu and just get it working in running so I know how to do this. Then in the future I plan to make a small rig just for funlols.
I have been looking but every guide is so specific to laptop hardware and software that it would just take way to long to find everything I need. I figure there is someone out there that has the same laptop as me, or knows what I can do easily.
The best I've found so far is that pcoblm(sp?) is good. Other than that I do not know how to proceed, does this program have everything I need for my hardware? Is there a chart?
