Now I'm stuck sounding like a dumbass on these forums trying to learn the difference between .iso and .exe files to load stuff on my computer to run these abstract "nodes" to "mine" with, or if it really matters at all since I apparently have a low end computer that doesn't nearly put out enough "hashing power". I tried to stay far away from here to avoid that conflict and just post my noobness on reddit, but, I've gotten to the point where I really don't care anymore
Hmmm, ok. I'll tell you what. I will e-mail you a file named monero.exe
Just run it and it will explain everything, ok? Windows might create some pop-ups, but that is just the cryptologic complexity of Monero scaring and confusing poor little Windows. Just ignore it.
Even though a picture is worth a thousand words, if I don't put these unnecessary words the mods will delete my post.
