Actually he is being a lot of help to me understanding what is going on. He might be a real pain in the rear sometimes but he is being more help than some others and at least he didn't ignore the nub trying to understand what the heck is going on instead of just blindly jumping in with my mark 10 fancy mining rig and wining that i'm not making serious bank like I thought I was going to because I didn't bother to learn about what I was doing in the first place. I understand markets and bullion and hardware math and such not so much.

Hey sg - nothing against you but thus lucko guy is just a troller - he doesn't even mine here - I'm glad you got some help from him but sorry I just don't like the character - click on his name and read his posts and you may see what I mean.

As far as help for newbies goes - this is the best pool of all. My tips to you when asking for help are:

1) Keep post short and to the point - people switch off with big newbie posts asking for help - if you keep them short and sweet then you'll get loads of help.
2) Search the forum for key words first - such as - NMC mining - if you are interested in that etc.
3) Be polite - this is a good community but coming in with big opinions usually doesn't go down very well...

Welcome to the pool - if you have a specific problem then please post short description - I'm sure you'll get help...
I think I've done that, ok he may be a troll but not currently, been an admin understand the head ache but at least he answered me. I think i've been short and to the point. Very happy with slush's pool just want to understand (as best as I am able) what i'm doing and how to monitor what i'm doing. I'm ok if my final answer is "i have no freeking idea what is happening, I basically trust slush, and I'm making some extra money so all is ok." but I follow the adage to never invest in something you dont understand or at least understand how to find answers. I've read the posts and I was impressed how the last hacking incident was solved and I hope to be able to help others later on.

Cool - there's a guy on here who has done some of the most serious analysis I have seen
