Hi everyone.  I am also a newbie - just started mining 2 days ago.  I can see that there is a lot to learn with the altcoin mining enterprise.  I have spent quite a bit of time on coinwarz and coinchoose.  Are there other sites that help guide a new miner as to what type of coin to mine?  Does the typical person spend a lot of time researching difficulties, hash rates, exchange prices, orphans, and stales throughout the day or do they mine for a few days and then periodically check to see how successful they were.  It seems like it could be overwhelming to constantly make changes to your altcoin mining strategy.  Any thoughts?
