Mined bitcoins - associated with IP address?

[oldman92]

Hi. New here.

I'm not planning on doing any mining to actually make a profit. It's not for me.
I just pretty much want to learn about the subject so I thought I'd toy around with it.


A couple quick questions before I proceed.

Are the newly mined bitcoins associated with ANY IP address?

If I use my home PC to mine, what's the deal there?

Can I use online wallets to store my newly minted bitcoins (for initial storage)?

How does it even work? I mean, do I have to set up a wallet first (online or software) and the coins that are mined just keep trickling in, OR there's like a 'Temp storage' that I can transfer from to my wallet?


Sorry for the retarded questions. So far I've been nothing but a 'user'. I want to learn how this stuff works behind the scenes.

[Amph]

they shouldn't see this http://cointext.com/bitcoin-and-ip-address-privacy/

the deal it that it is not worth it

do you mean to transfer them directly to something like blockchain? otherwise yes

the wallet it's not needed, you need a machine called asic and a pool to connect the machine, you profit will be dysplayed in the pool, then you can withdraw those coins to any wallet you want
