Sad_Miner,
    That's a execellent set of questions to pose to the veteran miners on the forum. I'm right there with you, I'm chewing at the bit to start mining but, like you, I'm just not sure what equipment to invest in that's going to actually work, to produce coins. I'll be monitoring your post in hopes that someone replies with some good informative mining information that will help new miners to understand what it is we need to be buying, learning, & doing to mine effectively as starters.
Later,
Gary

Mr. Pumpertilis,

Thanks,

Soooo,
   If investing XRP is like pissing in the ocean, then exactly how do we go about putting the money into actual Ripple, before Ripple blows up and goes international? I don't know exactly what or why that exact question regarding investing in Ripple & XRP were possibly 2 separate investments. Ripple being the investment which goes to the moon, & all the investors get rich off of, and XRP being the investment we just get to watch? XRP should be xrp, or it's the digital form of Silver, you want to buy a ton of silver because all the signals show that the price for Silver is boiling over and about to blow wide open yesterday. But, like always has and always will, silver stays right there and you watch it do nothing......
