Laugh if you want, but the only reason I'm doing this is to -possibly- get enough cash to buy Guild Wars 2.  I'm a 25 year old unemployed gamer who needs money for a game.  Yeah it's pathetic, but I'm currently attending school and getting free-living provided by my mother, which is also sad.  Either way, if this helps even put $20 in my pocket, I'd be fine with that.

Currently, all the information regarding the codes just confuses me.  Every program I use, all the documents I see, all these random letters and numbers that I'm supposed to save and store, but one of them identifies me and I need to save it yadda yadda.  Busting my brain here.

As a newbie I feel inclined to ask this.  Is all the information around BitCoins so convoluted in purpose?  People not wanting competition or something?  Or have people just not got around to making an epic guide?  I've read three guides so far, a PDF, Wiki page, and something here on the forum and I still feel barely closer than I was before I read it.

I'd like to get full access.

I need to post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=16385.2860

Need to ask a question.  Everything is so convoluted with BitCoins that the only way to get anywhere is by asking questions.

I tried to get into this a long time ago, but the lack of resources on it just made it seem so convoluted for a dollar here and there.

I'm feeling like I'm regretting that decision.

Still synchronizing, so 0!

I read the whole intro PDF, Wiki page, and many topics in the forum so far.  I still feel a bit confused. Rather than bore you with questions, perhaps this will work?

Let me join your pool.  I have a decent computer (not sure how decent according to mining, never done it before) and will farm endlessly with you!  Teach me the ins and outs, and you will have a dedicated pooler for your... pool.

Specs:

Windows 7
Intel Core i7-950
6gb DDR3 1066
80GB Intel SSD (500GB backup, does it matter?)
Radeon 6870 1GB

I use Voip if that's an option to speed things up.  Skype, Mumble, Teamspeak, Ventrilo?

This young grasshopper is ready.

New person here!  I switched to decaf

Read up on BitCoins a while back, probably a year ago.  Sounded complicated to get started so I brushed it off.  Came back out of pure boredom to get in the action!

What I want is to join a pool, and get knowledge from a person rather than a wiki page or PDF!  So, anyone need someone to join their pool?
