That was the website I used...I'll get screenshots when I am home, but thanks for the info...looks like I may need to invest in a machine then...is the turnover pretty good? I'd like the hobby to pay for itself if possible and right now the other miners do not. I've had Bitcoin Miner running on my desktop since last August and it earned a grand total of $7 LOL

This is helpful thanks for the explanation on machines, I need to see pay-off a little first before I invest in more equipment....so right now I have the miner DLed on my desktop and it prompted me to set up a pool which I did with Poolin.com although I am unsure if it is configured properly and the help menus are all in Chinese I think. It took me a sec to realize I needed to drop my malware protection to run it but was finally able to open it up using the exe file....so a couple of things here, 1. I don't see any launcher for this miner, 2. the GUI or interface does not quite look like the pics shown on the website so I am guessing the DL requires some sort of update but haven't figured that out yet, and 3. I just need to learn my way around it since it is different than the other plug and play apps like Bitcoin Miner which I am guessing does all of this behind the scenes for me.

This is going to sound like a noob response but I have no idea. I DLed the files to my Windows machine if that is what you meant. Not sure what an asic is yet.

HI, I'm new, I'm sure this has been posted in the thousands of topics listed but I just fired up MultiMiner. My GUI doesn't look like any of the pics from the website and I am not sure how to read everything yet to ensure it is even mining properly.
