Found my way through the miner and daemon.

However I start mining on my 8 cores and task manager shows me that townforged is using only 15% of my CPU...
why ? is there some throttling ?

Welcome :)

If you mine from within the game, it uses only one core, since the game itself uses a fair bit of resources.
If you want to mine with more than one core, you'll have to do that from townforged, eg:
start_mining TF1YOURADDRESS N

And replace N with the number of cores you want to mine with.

Keep in mind it's a testnet and hash rate is low, you don't need to mine with many cores to get some starting gold.

I've also posted invitation codes with 1,000 townforge gold in them for the testnet, feel free to grab one:

I notice it was you who commented they were all used; these are now new ones. :)
