Title: Getting started with bitcoin mining Post by: ganalon on August 01, 2011, 08:08:34 PM There are lots of guides to help you get started mining bitcoins. This is the one I used:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L9zO-VnLrY It's about 15 minutes and shows how to install the wallet, install phoenix and connect to the Eligius mining pool. It is windows-centric :-[ (sorry Linux folks, I feel your pain). I was able to get my first deposit in of about 0.31 BTC in just over 3 days. The only thing out-of-date in the video is the link towards the end of the video should contain "http://eligius.st/~artefact2/5/" Please feel free offer alternatives for Newbies, especially if you think they are Easier or Faster to implement. Disclaimer: Don't mine bitcoins unless you want to 1) do it for FUN, 2) don't mind "wasting" power, 3) don't mind wear and tear on your GPU and power supply. https://twitter.com/websqurl Title: Re: Getting started with bitcoin mining Post by: willphase on August 01, 2011, 10:25:20 PM Also:
