This is a quick easy step by step for people to get started mining fast:
-----------
Step 1: Sign up to join my pool at: http://ashesbelow.triplemining.com
Step 2: Plug all the shit in for your ASIC miner (power and USB)
Step 3: Make sure your computer recognizes it through Device Manager. Windows should auto-recognize it.
Step 4: Download and run EasyMiner (for windows. I use cgminer for linux) - http://butterflylabs.com/drivers
Step 5: Configure EasyMiner (or cgminer) with the following:
URL: stratum.triplemining.com:3334
Username: (the username you used)_(the name of your "worker") <---dont forget the underscore!
Password: (your password for your "worker" on triplemining.com)
Step 6: Profit.
---------
**NOTE: For linux users, you HAVE to run cgminer as ROOT. Do not use sudo.
Bitcoin Wallet Setup (where your BTC will be held):
Step One: Choose an online wallet (mtgox, campbx, coinbase, etc) or an offline wallet (bitcoin-qt, multibit, etc). An online wallet is convenient to change into other funds (USD, EUR, etc) and an offline wallet is more secure.
Step Two: Obtain a deposit address from this wallet, a long string of 27-34 alphanumeric characters. Put this address into your "Payout Address" on triplemining under the Account tab.
Thats it! Good luck and thank for contributing!
