Title: How to get started Post by: SavellM on May 09, 2013, 01:14:49 PM So...
I have a clean new machine just for mining. I have a mining.bitcoin.cz account. I have a Mt.Gox account. I have downloaded GUIminer. Now in terms of Wallets, do I use the one over at Mt.Gox and link that to my mining.bitcoin.cz account? If so how do I do that? Is it the link found in Mt.Gox under funding options? Thanks :) Title: Re: How to get started Post by: SavellM on May 09, 2013, 01:30:05 PM Anyone?

Title: Re: How to get started Post by: vanhal on May 09, 2013, 01:37:12 PM Leave it in your bitcoin.cz, or transfer straight to mtgox.
That you just download a local wallet. I go for a mixture of everything so if one gets lost then I don't lose everything.

They have had several security breaches, as well as if you get a keylogger and someone gets into your account and takes your funds/coins. Keeping them in a wallet is a better option as you have to have direct access to the wallet, or the key in order to do anything with it. If you do use Gox, I highly recommend investing in a Yubi Key for added encryption.

Im even more confused now lol. Should I get an online wallet over at https://blockchain.info/wallet/ then? If I do, how do I link that to my mining? Title: Re: How to get started Post by: SavellM on May 09, 2013, 02:12:20 PM Ok thanks I think I go it.
So in BlockChain under Recieve Money there is a link with a random generated code. I copy that and put it into My Account on mining.bitcoin.cz as the Bitcoin address? Title: Re: How to get started Post by: btctr4d3r on May 09, 2013, 02:15:43 PM You could use Blockchain.info to store some coins before sending them to MT.Gox, but remember they have a miners fee.
Title: Re: How to get started Post by: SavellM on May 09, 2013, 02:37:31 PM So what would you suggest?
Just use Mt.Gox only? If so how do I use only them? Do I find my key under Funding Options and then the Add Funds there is the random generated string? And then that will go into Mining.bitcoin.cz under my account?

Title: Re: How to get started Post by: bitzip on May 11, 2013, 07:20:53 PM As for an online wallet I like coinbase. You can link it to a bank account. They charge 1% to exchange USD for BTC, or BTC to USD. You can only link a US Bank to the wallet right now. Also it takes about 4 day to transfer the funds.
