Hi there, great job by the way, I am fairly new to this, only just started mining myself as it happens.

So I have a couple questions:

1. When you run the Bitminter program will it automatically connect to a pool? Or is that manual process?
(I don't understand how to connect to a pool if I have to do it myself)

2. I noticed that GPU isn't a great way to mine anymore, which one is more efficient nowadays? FPGA or ASIC.?

Thanks.
