Title: Best software for noobs
Post by: Test Bank Guy on July 01, 2011, 07:27:05 PM
What is the best and easiest software for noobs to mine and which pools are the easiest and safest to use.  Making this better known will attract more users.

GUIminer is quite easy to use/setup

Yep, I would also advocate GUIMiner, and as for pools, BTCGuild. Easy, no percentage cut (except transaction fees), popular.

GUIminer for sure.  Especially after todays release (7/1/2011).  I got an extra ~10 MH/s out of my 5830s just by upgrading and then tipped the author.

Cheers.

:O New release today? I better get on that. And yeah, I agree, GUIMiner is easy to use and runs quietly in the background with no command prompts or commands to enter in.

I can confirm this. My 5850 is running about 12MH/s faster, even with that kernel update posted a while ago.
