Title: I am a newbie with bitcoin please help Post by: LiveforYahweh on June 23, 2011, 06:17:59 PM Can you explain what my System statistics mean. Is my system up to par and will I be able to collect coins shortly? Sorry for the silly questions but I must learn.

May I ask what pool you're mining on? Title: Re: I am a newbie with bitcoin please help Post by: LiveforYahweh on June 23, 2011, 07:16:53 PM I am not sure what you mean by what pool? About my statistics, are they good? How much blocks do you need to solve it?
Thank you :) Title: Re: I am a newbie with bitcoin please help Post by: Jimerson on June 23, 2011, 07:22:25 PM A good place to start understanding mining would be this thread:
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=9430.0 Make sure you understand the concepts of bitcoin before you try to understand mining. Good Luck! Title: Re: I am a newbie with bitcoin please help Post by: beezm on June 23, 2011, 07:26:38 PM Pretty much the same thing I first did ^ ::)
Started everything up, waited for coins, nothing -_- Then I figured out pools ;D Title: Re: I am a newbie with bitcoin please help Post by: lolcat on June 23, 2011, 07:32:36 PM A "pool" is a bunch of people working together to solve blocks (exponentially faster than solo mining)
Here is a step-by-step guide with pictures and everything else needed to get you started when you're ready. http://bitclockers.com/forums/index.php?topic=3.0 www.Bitclockers.com <-- The pool homepage. Hope to see you mine with us :) |
