Hello everybody!
I'm totally new to the topic. I have nothing installed nor a wallet yet. I'm just starting it as an hobby, and will see where it takes. My purpose is to set up a LAN with a dedicated Laptop running a server for my others PCs to connect, and the whole network acting as a client joined to a mining pool. My searches in the next few days will go in this direction. If in the while somebody would point me to some piece of software I'd appeciate.
Nice hobby project. But like any hobby it will cost you more money than it actually makes.
If you want to do it for the fun of building stuff, do it. If you expect to earn money, don't.
1. This Hardware won't make you any money anyway.
2. Mining is not a get rich scheme. But a highly competitive business with no entry barriers (everyone can start a mining). Like all this businesses the profit margins are minimal at best.
