Can someone explain whats the diffrent between all the types of mining??

There are three types of mining.

Ore mining is the removal from the earth of material that has value (such as gold, coal, plutonium, etc)
Bitcoin mining is the search for a SHA256 hash of a bitcoin header that has a value less than the current target
Altcoin mining and "cloud mining" are usually scams and a waste of time, effort, and money

and how much money u can generate from mining if u do it for like 12h+ a day ?

With bitcoin mining, you can generate a maximum of approximately $1 million of gross revenue per day if you do it for like 12 hours per day and you have more hash power than the rest of the world combined. You'll need to subtract your expenses from that. If you can acquire enough equipment for free and have access to enough free electricity then that would be $1 million in profit per day. If you buy outdated hardware, spend too much money on it, and have expensive electricity, then you will probably spend more money than you will earn (you will lose money).[/list]

Usually when I see guru DannyHamilton has answered a thread, I don't even offer my meager advice because... DannyHamilton but OMG! This might be the only time I can offer slightly more to what he has already said Wink

I can't believe that DannyHamilton forgot to include the 4^th type of mining:

Data mining is a computational process for discovering patterns in large data sets.

This can easily be more lucrative than Bitcoin mining especially when you consider the lower electricity and hardware costs to enter the fray.
