Noob-ish questions

So, I want to start mining, at least to try and I documented myself a little.

The first question is : what program should I download -_-" to start mining

The second: Does the LinusTechTips forum has a guild(sort of) and how can I enter in it?

The third: Where should I register

 

I know these are stupid questions but please don't hate me

 

edit: what is more profitable between folding and bitcoin mining?

Folding is volunteer work. There is no profit.

you need a bitcoin wallet, or a litecoin wallet or the wallet of the coin your want to mine. if you are going to use your GPU i recommend that you go for a script based coin ex. litecoin, feathercoin, bla bla bla.

 

since i like litecoin i will send you to a start-up guide we have in the page where i mine.

Mining getting started : HERE credits to ATP1916 

 

read around there is tons of information!

Looking around,

bla bla bla this, meh that!
