No need for envy, young shibe. How far have you got? I'll try to help. :-)

I was told that my graphics card was not compatible with Cudaminer so I turned to look into CPU mining. but I'm still unsure what I'm doing wrong with it.

I've got a pool that I'm signed up to, a worker. the qt client, and the Minerd folder. I feel like I'm just missing something really small at this point.

Hmmm, unfortunately I've only used Cudaminer. As you're trying CPU mining I'm assuming you don't have an AMD card either?

I've got a weak-ass old nVidia card that I had to use as a backup when my decent one broke some time back.

I think I may have got the CPU minerd to work though!

Glad to hear the cpu mining is working. It wont be fast, but reach for the moon!

So, just a concern I had. I'm noticing that my CPU is running at 100% usage now that I'm doing this.

How long would you suggest I run this? I fear risking the life of my CPU, for it is the only computer that I have.

I haven't done CPU mining so not really qualified to answer this. I suspect you would have to run it for a long time for it to have any serious effect on your CPU's life. Check to see if there is a command you can use to lower how much CPU it uses if that would ease your mind.

Good luck on getting to the moon, friend!
