Bitcoin Miner
I am unsure of where to put this so I guess here is as good a place as any.
I want to start a Bitcoin miner. Just to see how it goes. Can anyone assist me in this? I read all kinds of stuff but I have no clue what I am doing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if the mods feel this is in the wrong section, go ahead and move.  |

Re: Bitcoin Miner
What type of hardware do we need for this? I have a state of the art gaming computer doing all but nothing so I could get that mining, but im honestly too lazy to read through he docs and then find out i cant use my PC.

You just need a modern (made within the last 2 years) video card. |

Re: Bitcoin Miner
Appreciate the links. From what Sythe said though, I am definitely going to have to get a graphics card since I am running onboard graphics atm.

Re: Bitcoin Miner
It seems like an interesting theory, but I need a step by step guide on how to use it. :P Haha. Too many steps to set this up from what it seems like.

Re: Bitcoin Miner
Don't even bother mining anymore. The only people who produce anything now have servers with loads of computing power behind them.

The only thing that matters for bitcoin mining is a powerful GPU. The rest of the system can be shit. |
