Hi.

I am new to this forum and also bitcoin. Is it to late for me to jump on this bitcoin train now?
There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Depends on what Hardware you have to mine. But probably it's not worth it for you to mine Bitcoin.

I suggest you check out http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/ to see if it's worth it for you to buy hardware.

Mining some scrypt altcoins may be way more profitable for you, so take a look at them (Novacoin, Litecoin,..).

Hi,

Too late? Depends, but rather yes (especially if you intend to mine bitcoins with cpu/gpu).
Note the other current thread dealing with the same subject.

Cheers, pm

For mining? Yes.
Investing into Bitcoins directly might still be very profitable (but obviously it's also risky).
