So I have been investing in bitcoin for a while and I didn't have the funds to get started.
Now I would like to solo mine. What I have been searching high and low for a proper tutorial, but I cannot find one. I also don't know jack about coding. Is there an actual tutorial or video link that someone can share with me to show me how to set it up from start to finish. From download to running the program. BTW I have Mac OSX, and a 2Pac Gekko Miner. So if there is a tutorial of how to set that up I would be even more grateful. Thanks guys in advance. Smiley

Sincerely,

Mining Newbie, BTC oldie

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

2pac Gekko miner? thats f*cking old device miner, i think your hashrate not enough to start solo mining. im recomended to mining new altcoin with basic scrypt algorithm, so you can earn more coin, is better than you try mining bitcoin.

Even doing that. I would need to learn how to do that from scratch. And I still cannot find a tutorial video of how to get started because they all assume you are pool mining. Thus, My question still stands. Is there a video out there to learn how to do it or a person that can guide me through it?

they all assume you are pool mining.

Solo mining is the same as pool mining.  Just replace the regular pool with the solo pool "solo.ckpool.org".  Using that solo pool would be better than solo mining on your own machine.
