I have very basic knowledge of computers from years spent gaming. Actually building a computer of my own, or anything more than upgrading ram/gpu was more than i ever wanted to take on. I looked into mining currency about a month ago and found Voskcoin on Youtube. With information i got from him I built my first rig two weeks ago. Since then i have been blowing the dust off old gaming pc's that quit on me in the past and trying to figure out what i can use to piece together another miner. I am having an absolute blast. If i had any idea how much fun this would be i would of started long ago. These forums have been very helpful as well. Honestly though i am very reluctant to post here. I have seen people get mad about people posting to increase post count, or rank. Something along those lines. Haven't figured out why people are interested in forum rank yet so i will just keep reading and learning for the most part.
