I don't know enough to elaborate.. I'd want to mine for Bitcoins or Litcoins.
Ive been watching a Ton of Youtube Videos...and I'm still confused.lol
I understand how bitcoins and Litcoins works, I just dont understand the Mining process.
I know you have to have hardware and Software

Bitcoin or Litecoin aren't profitable to mine anymore unless you have an ASIC. If you have a gpu I think Ethereum is the most profitable option, if you only have a cpu you'll have to look for a coin who's algorithm doesn't have a gpu miner.

I suggest you do some reading instead of watching videos.

How much do you want to invest? Bitcoin & Litecoin require a large investment in dedicated HW
that can only mine either Bitcoin or Litecoin.
You can mine with a regular PC with either the CPU of a GPU but you need to know about different
algos that are suitable for this kind of mining.

What is the Best Software to use for mining?
You can go here to estimate your profitability and determine the best coin to mine: http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency

The miner software for the coin that you decide to mine will depend on the coin's Hash Algorithm.
