Does cpuminer work for BTC? #276

Hi @pooler Sir:

Actually I want to test mining for BTC so I have run cpuminer and connected with a pool. But no share has accepted now. Of course we need ASIC miner for BTC but I want to test nothing more but cpuminer works for LTC which I tested. That is why I am thinking that cpuminer can be worked for BTC.

Many Thanks!

It works in the sense that it is implemented correctly, but in practice a CPU is now too slow to realistically find even a single share at a Bitcoin pool.

ok @pooler Sir, Thanks for your quickest reply.
