Hello,

I am also new.  My biggest confusions is setting up to mine coins.  I have had success with GUIminer for mining bitcoins but have not had any luck with any of the alternate coin pools.

I ran some alt coin miners solo mining but couldn't really get anything done so I needed to post here to be able to post in the support threads for some of the pools that I am trying to mine with.

Anywho, good luck mining!

Hi to all,

Those free sites are a good way to start, who know how they work ? do they get money from the ads to be able to give BTC coins away.

Good luck to all

Yes, that's why most faucets won't allow you to use AdBlocker when browsing them. There are also PTC sites, that pay you for visiting other sites. You can find many faucets/other sites providing free BTC at http://free-btc.net.tf and http://www.landofbitcoin.com

Hi!

I'm new in this world too.

I started to mine QRK's few days ago because didn't have good GPU and QRK's only need CPU.

Hope i could learn a lot from this community.

Have fun!

I'm a newbie as well, and as far as I can tell, mining doesn't make sense unless I stick someone else with the bill.. and the faucets can look suspicious..
Nice to be here, hope to learn a lot!

Hi everybody, new as well. Hope to capture some marketshare while performing great deeds for humanity :)

I have several ideas for making Bitcoin a sustainable currency one of which is sustained mining. Calculating the numbers for what it takes for a miner to become profitable, and the current technology and hashrates, it is easy to come to the conclusion that for scrypt mining gear it takes ~1.5 months to break even on your initial investment. Next, its possible to make more if you invest in stronger giga-hashing power, although that claim is still yet to be explored (possibly through the group-buy system set up in BitcoinTalk>Economy>MarketPlace>Hardware ).

Surely the community will hear of my efforts if they come to fruition, thanks.

Hope to chat soon,
cya

and an "advice"  :D from a fellow newbie: you'll need a wallet to use faucets :)

You can start with one of the online wallets or you can set up offline one. You can find more detailed explanation on http://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet

I'd say it's a lot better to use a wallet where you yourself have direct control of your bitcoins, instead of using web wallets. I'd recommend Bitcoin-QT or Multibit (haven't used the latter myself though).

I highly recommend Electrum.  Check it out.
