Overall Mining Problems
March 12, 2014, 11:30:30 PM
#1
Hey guys,
I've been trying to mine for about 2 weeks but I can't. I've seen plenty tutorials but I still don't know how to mine.
There is always something wrong, for example, when I start mining it says OpenCL device not found (or something like that), but not just that.
Can anyone please help start to mine?
Also, how do USB miners work? I just connect them to my PC and they start mining to my wallet?

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

You need to run mining software such as cgminer to run your USBs. Then the easiest route is to pick a pool to mine at. the pool will send your coins to your wallet when you accumulate a certain amount.
There are lots of other ways, i'm sure others will chime in with their way is better. This is just what i see as the easyist while you learn.

Investment? no. When it comes to mining, there is no good investment. But, it is a good starting point to get a feel about how things work.

Why isnt it a good investment? From what I read you can actually win some money from it...
Also, is this a good sub miner? I'm thinking of ordering it.

Because most ASIC will never achieve ROI, or breakeven, which on this forum effectively mean the same thing.
