Should you enter a pool or hash on your own for a newbie with an ASIC miner? Is the bitcoin amount comparable, more, or less? Is Slush's pool good? Are all pools the same pretty much or some better than others?
Thanks!
pool is better, more consistent returns for small fee.
how does a newbie get an ASIC? which type?
Butterfly. I had the money and read up a bit on bitcoin (plus from what I knew about it before).
