Title: Is there an easy to use miner? Post by: GreekBitcoin on January 29, 2012, 09:39:30 PM So i dont know anything about mining except the basics since i am using bitcoins for almost a year now.
My question is if there is a simple miner for windows and/or linux that you can simply run, put the info of your pool and mine. I dont care about giving me the 100% of my gpu. i just want lets say to mine 0.1 BTC. just for fun. btw i have a ati gt525m video card Title: Re: Is there an easy to use miner?

I started out mining with cpu mining, and that got me more hooked on the concept of bitcoin, not on the concept of making coins to sell on markets. Title: Re: Is there an easy to use miner?
