Thanks for the warm welcomes guys! I want to start mining but I'm so confused as to how to even get anything started, all the guides get confusing after I start reading. My setup is as follows:
I7 950 @ 4ghz
Asus Sabertooth x58
16gb Corsair Vengeance
Diamond 5970
Corsair HX850
I just ordered a watercooling setup, so this should all be under water in about a week or so except the 5970 cause I cant for the life of me find a block for it.
lol dude, "got a bit of an old computer here":
4ghz i7, 16gb ram, decent graphics card...
back in my day old meant 1 gb ram, pentium, and on board graphics! (im not very old)
you'll most likely want to start mining something with low difficulty and is scrypt based. check out multipool.us for whatever they're currently mining.. there's another site that has a TON of coins with all their stats (like profitability %, difficulty, etc) lined up for miners but i'm blanking right now.. hopefully somebody else can fill in that gap ^^
woo first post!
