Tech savy with your run of the mill computer... not connecting to a mass of computers to share your GPU for a chance at getting a percentage of shares for bitcoins. New to me. Everywhere you turn one person says this and one person says that. That's true of most forums but I haven't found any straightforward here's what you do to mine bitcoin. Just looking for some specifics on WHAT TO DO! A method of sorts. A decent setup...... Just gathering intel =)
You are wrong. There are only so many ways to mine, its on the same skill level as forwarding ports, setting up a ftp server, installing drivers... Basic stuff, as in I can get LMGTFY and really make you look lazy.
Now what you see are the hundreds of users so blind that they believe their way of mining is the only way, like philipma. That has nothing to do with the technological side of BTC, but more researching and finding what best to invest in. If someone finds something good, you think they will share it? No, you need to find it, otherwise you get nothing but spams from users trying to make a dollar a day (1gh/s = $1 day at current rates)
If you follow any advice make this it, never trust what anyone says and always do your own research.
