Completely new to Crytocurrencies, but very interested.

First read about Bitcoin years ago, but never got involved and forgot about it until recently. Obviously regretting that decision, lol.

Anyways, I have set up my laptop to mine Litecoins for the last week (I know, not very profitable at all) just so that I could prove that I could figure out how to do it. Also set it up for bitcoin mining to see if I could get results, but switched back to Litecoin after making sure I could bitcoin mine.

Would like to now build a simple unit to mine either Litecoin or Terracoins; still new to this, so I am unsure which direction I will go. Also thinking about building the simple GPU unit for LTC, and buying a Butterfly labs Jalapeno for mining Terracoins; I am more interested in Cryptocurrency as a hobby that *might* pay off big time at some point but that is not the reason for getting into it.

Great community, and a special thanks to CryptoJunky / CryptoJunky.com as those guides were very helpful.
