This is good information for newbs to consider and should be first and foremost...I want to start mining I realize i won't make much if anything but I want to contribute because the goal is good I also am interested in investing in bitcoin but am hestitant because my computer literacy is limited i understand hardware and building pc's not much more than that any idiot with google can build a pc or miner as I can demonstrate lmao but to keep everything secure is where I am a little iffy so I am going to take my sweet time figuring the secuirty measures out before I take a plunge and start doing anything with bitcoin...thanks for the info
