Do you realise that unless you have a massive hashrate (not particularly likely for someone who can't even read a readme file) then you're just wasting your time. There's a reason there ain't many guides - it's pointless for most people.

Also, UTFSE; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=83371.0

Yes it's for litecoins, just don't bother with the --scrypt bit and it's still completely relevant.

There are some altcoins that are still profitable mining solo. More so than mining BTC. It depends a bit on your experience and hardware knowledge too, to get the most out of your system. I don't think many people will write this guy a how-to guide given there are so many resources like the one you linked, and people mining altcoins dont really want a influx of new miners with GPU wrecking 'their' altcoin's difficulty.

It depends? There are people here with ASIC farms that have hundreds or maybe even thousands of gigahash/s (0.1 - 1.0 or more terahash/s) so I suppose they make look most of us look small. But then you could argue that mining is about improving the network security and the more distributed devices under control of different people the better.

User gigavps has the following pages showing stats of his farm(s):

He has at least a few hundred gigahash/s by the looks of it.
