I`m not a miner but use a program "guiminer" and register in a mining pool.

I tried to mine but ran in to some problems with a GTX650 oc.

I was mining to slow only 25 Mhashashes/s

I think Radeons are much better

I use i5-3470, 8GB kingston, SSD + 2x hdd, GTX 970

First of all some basics:

Bitcoin is an experimental new digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin is also the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.[/TD]

What is Mining?[/TD]

A:[/TD]

Since Bitcoin has no central authority, transactions sent over the network must be confirmed in some way that makes them official to avoid being spent twice. Bitcoin Mining is the process of taking recent transactions and combining them into a "block" of transactions.

In order to keep make blocks hard to fake, creating a block of transactions requires a significant amount of computing power, and the difficulty of the process is increased by the network in order to keep the rate of block creation at roughly 1 block per 10 minutes. The incentive to create blocks is a subsidy (currently 25 Bitcoins), plus transaction fees from any transactions that are put into the block.[/TD]

What is a Mining Pool?[/TD]

[/TR]

[TR=bgcolor: transparent]

[TD=bgcolor: transparent]

A:[/TD]

[TD=bgcolor: transparent]

Due to the difficulty involved in creating a block, the concept of a mining pool was brought forward. In a mining pool, many users of the network work together to make blocks, and split the reward between each other. A mining pool is the central server used to organize the work and distribute the rewards.[/TD]

Now that you know that, I used to mine myself in a pool (eg. http://www.btcguild.com). They have pretty good explanations about how to mine and how it works (http://www.btcguild.com/index.php?pa...n=howtoconnect).

I think the real question here is: can you make money by just leaving your computer on?

Cooler Master 690 II Advanced - I5 2500K @ 4.5Ghz - Geil Enhance Plus 1750Mhz 8Gb - ASUS ENGTX 570 DCUII - MSI Z68aGD65 - Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B - Samsung 830 128gb and Crucial m4 128gb - much other stuff not worth mentioning
