Is there a thread here or a link on the ins and outs of mining for people who aren't super techie?  Tongue

Something quite basic?

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

The easiest tool to use IMHO is minergate.
Obviously is not the best tool to mine, but it can help you to enter this world.

I let you here a link to the page and my personal reft link

That gives me a serious thought - just got back in contact with Dan Gookin, I wonder if he'd be interested in writing that as a book.

 (no, not joking - I first met him back in his "editor" days BEFORE DOS for Dummies).
I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!
