Well, I let it run all night and only have thirteen confirmed coins and eight unconfirmed coins. I can see that this isn't for me. You can't really do anything else with your computer. Tried to play a game while it ran; it bogged down so slow it really wasn't worth it. Have not moved coins over to my wallet yet. If I turn HappyPool off without moving the coins, will I lose them? Still fuzzy on moving the coins over to the wallet; but I think I got the gist. Do I have to wait till it gets to fifty coins or should I move them now? Still a little confused.

The coins will be still in HappyPool as a balance. The unconfirmed coins would be available soon after other users in the network 'confirm' the deposit transaction from HappyPool to your account there. The blockchain is like a public ledger recording each address receiving and sending coins, every 10 minutes in a cycle. How the network works is each transaction is examined and confirmed by users on the network via their programs. After about 6 confirms total from any of the network participants anywhere, the transaction is basically recorded in this shared ledger and cannot be undone. Check back later in the day or tomorrow for the new balance. Contact me if you have any issues on moving the coins over we can do a remote desktop session again.

To make the cpuminer work in the background which might free up the computer...One thing you can try is run the RUN-INTEL batch file like normal, then type windows-x from the desktop and then load up the Task Manager. In Task Manager go to the Details tab. Find the cpuminer.exe entry and right click it. Go to the submenu Set Priority then set it to Low. I just did it to mine and can use the computer fine while mining. You have to do this step each time you re-start the RUN-INTEL mining activity.
