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.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Didn't make a whole bitcoin yet, more like 0.2 Roll Eyes
I've tried mining Slush's pool at 120MHash/s for BTC0.013 per day and a couple of websites (if you'd like I can post the links but you pros most likely know them all  Grin) which give away small amounts of bitcoin in regular intervals. Hope to support the use of bitcoin, based on its principles.
