I am looking for new coins and I think I know what you mean by the block explorer, I tried to check it out and I think I need to understand how it works.

Though I have a few problems that throws a wrench in my plans to mine in general for now.

One I didn't consider is security when GPU mining, that when mining new coins and installing the core wallet, you run a big risk installing malicious software.
Which is an additional cost of equipment and a learning curve to consider.

The other is my electrical costs are too high to make mining practical, which also ties in to budgeting constraints.

I have plans to move to a new property where I do plan on installing a solar system at the very least.
Hopefully by then it won't be too late for the home miner to get in on the action.
