Hello

Does somebody know a good tutorial or site where I can learn about mining and how it works?
The pages I've found are either explaining it in a very basic way or they are getting too specific.
I have an IT background and I would really like to learn how the process exactly works.

Thanks in advance.

The first thing you do is determine what you will be mining. Many current type cryptocurrencies and each type has different specifications. So you need different hardware also, if you have determined then you just choose the hardware you need. You can see the specifications in this forum and also some forums on the internet for more clear and specific information.

Yup, because every mining rig differs on what coins what are you going to mine.
Mining these days are difficult because the graphics cards are getting out of stock and because of scarcity, there is an increased of price.
So if you're thinking about mining, knowledge is not the only thing to consider. You need a good budget too.

In technical aspects, learning machine language is never easy and knowing the circuitry of hardwares requires physical works. It's all worth it in the end, sites also don't tell much promising way on how to mine so don't depend on them. Self taught and getting advices from pro miners is the best way.
