you mine for cryptocoins.  it is up to you to sell them for any other currency.  they aren't going to pay you via paypal.

cgminer seems to be the unanimous best miner to use.  some people use reaper, but it has too many issues.

your miner will always be given new problems to solve.  just let it do its work.  if you need to restart, don't worry about it.  your miner will always find new work.

I helped my brother out by finding the info for him.  Had to actually use teamviewer and use his terminal too.  But that guide works well for macs.

I only get ~60 Mhash/s with my gtx460.  just bought a 6950 though so we'll see how that works out.

you really don't want to mine with a laptop

hey guys.  new here.  just starting into the whole mining thing.  glad this forum is around to figure out what hardware and miner work best.
