So whats a decent fairly easy to use mining pool that I can join to get started? I was thinking BitMinter since their fees are low. I'm in the US, should I pick something closer, or does that even matter?
What do you guys think? Please let me know.
For what my newbie opinion is worth, I started with Ozcoin using cgminer and that was OK. I found cgminer was disconnecting (is that the word?) at least once a day, usually when I was away from the computer, so I ended up losing mining time. I started with BitMinter a little while ago and I really like their simple, idiot proof, Java client. I get better hash rates, as well.
