BTC Mining Sites - worth checking out?

[rushbird]

Found two sites that offer to share the mining pool. All I need is to sign in and leave the website on while the mining's in progress:

http://www.bitcoinplus.com/generate
https://50btc.com/

Just need to hear everyone's thoughts on this if whether or not I should sign up to earn BitCoins since I'm using an old PC (still runs on Windows XP).

I don't think that you have the necessary hardware to successfully mine bitcoin.

You need to learn more about mining.

The first site (http://www.bitcoinplus.com) mines bitcoins in your browser using Java (if it is not a trojan). That is no longer feasible. It hasn't been for a couple years. You will spend much more money on electricity than you will ever mine on this site. On average, you will earn less than a penny a day from this site.

The second site (https://50btc.com/) is a well-known mining pool. You can connect you mining software (something like cgminer) to this site and mine with your GPU, but most people mine with ASIC miners now. Mining with your GPU will earn less than $0.10 per day on average.

You will spend more on electricity than what you will be earning with mining if using computing power of a normal pc, worse if old pc....

50BTC.com was recently hacked and the billing system is fouled up.  They still have about 0.9 BTC of mine and have no way to pay it out.  They will not respond to any of my requests.  They even closed my account.  I mined with them for over a year and included them in my book. 

I would not recommend them at the present time.
