I've been reading and writing alot over the past week.

Keeping a list of hardware, software, passwords, connections, however; even though I know how to build a PC and have installed a windows OS the learning curve still appears rather steep especially now that linux is involved ( ready to jump in the deep end).

Though a 16 year old would be better at this than myself is there a good thread that kinda puts everything together in regards to the above mentioned items for getting a mining rig together. A todo list of sorts/tutorials

Thanks in advance

Michael

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.

The Bitcoin Wiki is by far the BEST Information Resource, as it ends up pointing back here most times anyways and is very organized.

Click into here and just 'surf' around from link-to-link: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Pooled_mining

Pay CLOSE ATTENTION to the SEE ALSO: and EXTERNAL LINK: sections at the bottom of each topic page Wink

The wiki is good.  This forum also has many great resources.  Here is a comparison of gpus that is handy: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=9674.0.
