I also heard there was an online miner that requires no download?

Try Bitminter (a Java application), I think it will work on your GPU ^^


BitMinter.com?

Buying them. Or selling things for them.

Honestly, I don't get the point in buying them. I would assume most people want them, because they are worth real world money. Selling things for them, I do get.

Well, I may as well not bother mining at all right now... I will just use those 'free bitcoin every hour' websites and such, is there any other of making Bitcoins besides the websites and mining?

What about a CPU Miner?, I have heard of this, I'm guessing instead of using your graphics card to mine it uses up CPU space?

Well, I actually recommend not mining on that card as you're wasting electricity and shortening the life of the card dramatically for the sake of a few cents worth of BTC per month. You can't profit from mining on it.

But, if you insist on doing so, the best way to figure that what flags/software etc to use is to look up the card on the mining hardware comparison page:

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

Well in that case I am not going to bother mining.

What are some other ways to earn BTC?, besides buying them.

I have a Nvidia GT 610 graphics card, currently trying out GUI Miner (Not even sure if it's working tbh, I'm a major newb)

and if I should just stick with GUI Miner, what extra flags should I use for my video card?

Don't worry about making them. Buy them from someone who has them - or sell stuff for Bitcoin - or provide services for Bitcoin.

If you're unsatisfied with this, it's time to spend some time reading the wiki about mining, and reading the forum to catch up on the last 2 years of development. But in the end you'll come to this conclusion.

The thing is though, I really do want to mine, it really interest me.

The best advice anyone can give you is to stop worrying about mining.

There are lots of ways to get involved with Bitcoin, and plenty of opportunities to make money. Just forget about mining.

(They -really- need to take mining out of the weusecoins video.)

How else  can I make coins then?

So I just heard about this whole 'bitcoin' thing, and have been trying to use Phoenix 2.0.0 and it won't work, I do have a wallet set up on the official bitcoin program.

but this is what happens when I start up phoenix:

[03]/04/2013 21:20:36] Welcome to Phoenix v2.0.0
[0 Khash/s [0 Accepted] [0 Rejected] [DISCONNECTED]


and the mining pool I am using is Eligius this is what enter into the CFG file:

phoenix.exe -u http://<address>:x@mining.eligius.st:8337 -k poclbm DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP AGGRESSION=7

(and yes I do put my address where it says 'address')

I also tried Phoenix 1.7.5 and I do EXACTLY what it says to do in that video and when I run it, I get this:


C:\Users\colto_000\Desktop\Pheonix 1.7.5>phoenix.exe -u http://1B22QRaMkq7J8uEi6
rfkTw9Cdp8YSBV5Mx:x@mining.eligius.st:8337 -k poclbm DEVICE=0 VECTORS BFI_INT FASTLOOP AGGRESSION=7
