I am trying the free tier right now. I installed https://github.com/cbuchner1/cpuminer. I have got it running, but I don't think its doing much of anything.

Here's a tail of the log:

That's for litecoin and bitcoin. I would assume primecoin would be better for cpu mining because it hasn't been optimized for gpus yet.
May be so. I have very little understanding of any of this. What I am doing right now certainly isn't worth even this tiny bit of effort that I have put into so far. My Account Balance is 0.00016236 LTC after 9 hours.
