Alright so im pretty computer smart but i feel like there is just an overload of information all over the web so im asking for any kinda direction starting up mining! Even a specific youtube video would help but mainly i would like to spend not a ton of money for something to get up and running and see some flow before i start really putting money into hardware. Been looking high and low and the information overflow is just so confusing. Decided to try out a smart miner pool on cpu then started to realize its doing virtually nothing as far as any currency even with 4 laptops and 4 cell phones running the miner lol.  I would like to get in this asap though i feel like i already missed so much! Thanks for any kinda direction people!
