Dear Respected Members,
I got to know regarding Bitcoins 3 days back and I have joined this forum 2 minutes ago and so very much new to this platform. I want to make an optimum use of this opportunity. I saw a video over youtube.com regarding minig and how to get started but it was too complicated for me to understand.
Anyways, I have still downloaded Bitcoin-0.8.6 software along with Guiminer (both for windows-32bit). Please help me to get started. I shall be highly obliged.
Thanks in advance.

Well (I'm just assuming) it sounds like you're just mining using your regular computer - not a specialized mining rig. If that's the case, I'd recommend that you try mining an AltCoin that's a little easier and that you can then trade for BTC.
You can learn about all kinds of different AltCoins (AKA Alternative Cryptocurrencies) here:

Hope this is helpful!
