surprised there isnt something stickied in here, and didnt see anything with a cursory look around here, so forgive me if im missing something obvious.
how does someone who's woefully inept go about getting started mining? just on the software-side of things, what's recommended for ease-of-use for first timers.
have a PC and a couple old GPUs (HD5750, GF 8400gs, old) lying around essentially unused, and my main PC is usually idle during the day while im at work.
i have no illusions about making lots of money, since i dont have any of the popular/expensive GPUs or specialized hardware for this sort of thing. really what i'd want out of it is an equivalent to $5-10/month, something that could pay for a VPN service, the occasional goodies from Newegg or some such
