Ya best to just learn more about it , maybe buy some coins if you think it's going up - Mining ain't for everyone. But then again having a miner run on your PC when you'd be on it anyway can't hurt (much)
Yup, I have quite a bit to learn I think.
I guess it's an investment and there's risks with any investment. Unfortunately my graphics card isn't very powerful (nVidia GTX 460) and I have to sell my computer anyway right now because of cash flow problems

I think next month when I get some money I will invest in some hardware for mining and see how it goes. It'll be a good learning experience if nothing else!
