What is mining and how do you do it?

[cryptoanalyzer]

Just for info, can you elaborate on the topic?

Can any one Mine? Or it is done only by pros?

Does it require a certain computer system

Thanks 4 the tip

I do not recommend starting without enough knowledge about mining. I really recommend starting this job by calculating the profit and loss analysis well.

The videos here for the start will help. I recommend you look.

Easiest for you is watch rise nad rise of bitcoin documentary movie, you will see exactly how to mine on amateur level.
You won't earn money tho, its only for pros now how u described it.

If you want to mine with hardware you already own you should look into asics resistant altcoins.  If you have relatively cheap electricity (under 7 or 8 cents) you may be able to mine bitcoins with a small profit (after you pay for your hardware of course). I'd suggest doing a lot more of your own research to find out what would make the most for you.

You absolutely shouldn't mine with your hardware. Even with free electricity it is completely USELESS. your CPU will break in no-time and it will make you a couple cents, if you're lucky.

Anyone can mine using thier computer,it doest need any skills or whatever. As long as you have computer you can mine directly on it. But i will tell you mining is not profitable so better not to do it.

Since big companies are investing on it

Mining is any more  not profitable for individuals

you will lose your time

Yeah right. If we do as individual. We have to pay for electricity. That is the most hardest part in bitcoin. If you wish to start you can invest on the solar mining and start as large scale. Small scale will not be profitable.

There is no such thing as asic resistant. There was a time when I thought that altcoins could be asic resistant. This is what i got as a reply on bitcoin stackexchange.

As for mining bitcoins, the best way would be to get a special miner (hardware) and join a pool. Solo mining is not at all profitable.

First of all I would recommend reading the mining section of the forum. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=14.0
I would also recommend reading mining topics at the bitcoin wiki site. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining
This site will also be useful. https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-guide#mining

Mining is not very profitable at the moment. If you're thinking about making a serious investment, you need to calculate your electricity costs. You can do hobby experiments with small devices. But you can not earn money.

Does it require a certain computer system

1: Can any one mine?
Ans: Yes, though there is no guarantee of profit for everyone.
2: Is it done by pros?
Ans: Sure it is, that is because they understand everything about it and it is really complicated for someone like me and you, so we better let them do that.
3: Does it require a certain computer system?
Ans: Yes again. You will need mining hardwares to mine bitcoin and some pool etc which i have no much knowledge about.

Everyone can mine using thier laptop or pc's. Doesnt need any skills in mining on your laptop. It would be better if you assemble your own pc. Dont mine on your laptop you will only destroy it,and it will give you high electricity charges

I Tried Cloud Mining 1 Year From Now and On that time I  Got Some Profit By Just Investing Money And I Don't Need to Maintain the Hardware to do Mining But Now a Days I Don't Suggest you Anyone to Do Mining Because Now a Days Mining is Not Profitable Because the Halving Passed Last Year Made the Mining Unprofitable.........

Cloud mining is a good start to understand how Bitcoin mining works for beginners in Bitcoin mining.
Im think Bitcoin mining is still profitable but you need more funds to buy some asic miner.

[vaibhavsingh]

not profitable at all, better way of making bitcoins can be to buying at cheaper price and selling at higher prices. even the bigger players face many difficulties in bitcoin mining.

Exactly, you will make few satoshi per day, you need to buy specialized hardware which will be used for only mining bitcoin. It will cost you lot of money and electricity consuming will also be very high, up to two are three you have to pay for electricity from your pocket. Right now bitcoin difficulty arises so you will get less amount of coin.But if you mine with your computer definitely it will damage your entire hardware.

without any skills. Just computer work and collect Satoshi. If the weak comp in the application you can disable one GPU and you will not even notice his work.

[onlineportal]

If You have a serious mining farm, then of course there are large pools, but if You want to make on your computer with 2 graphics cards, then services such as Micromining (min. payout 0.001 BTC) and Computta (min.payout 0.01 BTC) You will be very useful.
