I'm a noob to this but getting addicted.  Been mining about two weeks on middlecoin.  Love the concept, but have some doubts about the reliability of the pool and operator.  Time will tell.

I would like to mine full time but its just not worth it. I have been mining new alt currency for a few weeks, and then selling them off for BTC. I think i am just going to stick to trading in and out of BTC.

Been mining for about two weeks 3x 6970 about 1.5MHS keeping under 75 degrees.

For coins started with Dogecoin and had some success and fun .

Now I am supporting a friends coin Nutcoin and mined about 2,000,000 (Nuts) coins.

Check them out for a new coin its early and difficulty is low so lots of coins to earn.

Most of the mining websites have a getting started page that shows you the command line for cgminer.  Also reading the readme file of cgminer will give you some information about the parameters / flags and potential values. Tinker with it. It looks like you might not have any workers setup you do that from the hosts webpage . you need to log in with your account and setup a new worker that workers information needs to coded into your cgminer start file or *.bat file that holds all your parameters.

I'd love to tinker with it if I knew what to tinker with... I've been reading this forum now for hours and not finding anything comprehensive in terms of follow 1, 2, 3, etc to get started or to know if I'm actually mining or not.

all i get in the cgminer window is things like:

new block detected on network before longpoll

or

Stratum from pool 0 detected new block

I have no clue what this means.

Workers? How do I create workers? I read about it and all it said was what you said, create a worker, but where do I set that up, wheres the documentation to help me create one.

I noticed here:
https://www.multipool.us/accountdetails.php

it shows I do have a worker ID, its my username dot 1

isn't one enough, or do I have to create loads of them?

the cgminer currently shows my default one at the moment

Cheers

Your host will have a page similar to this

https://dogehouse.org/index.php?page=gettingstarted

creating a worker is straight forward you click the link  and input a user name and password it is not setup by default

I been mining off and on for about 9 months. Sadly I had to do a refund on a day 1 ship of jupiter first run...

One hand (o/) up for newbianism.   I bought 2 7950 for starters. I also have 2 7850 on my gaming rig. What would be good altcoin pool to start with ~2Mh/s rate? I have also one unpowered riser 1xto16x. Is it safe use one 7850 with riser and 2 7950 on mb one on rig?

I mined back in September, stopped till the new year, and started again after my coin matured for about .5btc!
My 6850 is about to crap out though (visual artifacts when pushing it a little).  Don't know if I'm going to go for another radeon or geforce; that'll decide my fate...

[ivailoto]

Have been mining since xmas.
Setup two machines with 6x7950 each, 600kh/s each card.
Focusing on Coinye at the moment, let's see if they will be worth something when trading will be available...
