The m64.pl executable seems to be a vanilla version of cpuminerd. By default it connects to http://127.0.0.1:9332 and mines using the scrypt algorithm. It could have been started with different parameters, or the port was tunneled to a pool. Would be interesting to know the ip.
off: does anyone know which font he uses in the terminal? Looks awesome.
Assuming you're referring to the font of the blog's text...
Firefox: Right click, inspect element, click the "fonts" tab on the right.
Chrome: Right click, inspect elmeent, look at "Computed" styles on the right, find Rendered Fonts.
Ironically, the answer is he's not using a font. It uses Times New Roman on my Chrome and DejaVu Serif on my firefox because those are my default system fonts, not because he specified them. If you look at the source of the webpage, you'll see he has zero stylesheet links, all his styles are inline in <style> blocks... So searching font in that one source page is sufficient to find he only styles code blocks, the rest is default.
If you're referring to some other font, I have no clue, sorry!
