New to mining?

[harvey010]

Hello everyone im new to the bitcoin mining scene and i know its not the best of time as the bitcoin currency is unstable.

I have had trouble trying to find a good pool to use and that is why i have come here for some extra info, i have started bitmining with a nvidia gtx 650ti boost and i am get a measly 98mh/s
i know this is awful but however i have left it running for 24 hours and all i got was 0.00000038 BTC is this normal? is slushes pool good or do you reccomend any others.

I have now invested into a asic miner rockminer r box (40gh/s) and a rasperry pi for it to run on, i will be using the rasperry pi rockminer image and control the r box from the network?
is this a good start to bit mining?

Please leave any info you can or tips for me. Also what kinda profit do some of you make?

Sadly it is far past the day's where GPU's can mine bitcoin.  You can look at Scrypt miing but for most at this point it cost's more to mine with a GPU thin it makes.

slushs, is by the oldest and considerd the father of bitcoin pools he pretty much invented pooled mining
bitminter is great for noobs and there mining software is one of the best gui softwares out there

those are the only 2 i really consider out of all the pools out there id stick with slushs pool is stable and been running for over 3 years now its not going anywhere in a hurry and slush is very active

sorry but you throw your money away.
first thing, forget about btc mining with gpu. as you can see you can't earn anything with it.
second thing, 40GH asic is obsolete right now and also won't earn you anything.
even if you have free electricity with 40GH you will earn around 0.00049916 BTC or $0.19/day on this diff and btc value which is miserable earnings.

Certainly its good to learn about bitcoin and mining, but I don't think it is good enough to waste a RP on it. You will not be making any profit with it, due to the high difficulty rate.
