Thanks Antony if your looking for just mining as in setting up a dedicated rig, this is what I used, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gw7YPYgMgNNU42skibULbJJUx_suP_CpjSEdSi8_z9U/preview?sle=true As for bitcoins in general, I couldn't really say, being in the UK I just went and joined the only UK based pool that I could find which was btcmine.com and kind of felt my way around from there, my honest opinion is start small, don't expect anything major right away, there's always bigger players than you so just do it for a hobby Title: Re: Guide to get started with mining?

Just buy bitcoins. Or buy shares in ASICMiner (at bitfunder). They pay a dividend based on their mining profits. Title: Re: Guide to get started with mining?
