I have not been able to figure out what I need to start mining. Has anyone written or found what would be considered a beginners guide to crypto mining?
I am not looking to get into it for anything more than a few extra bucks to spend on stuff like maybe buying a new PC game every so often, or small in-game purchases (skins and crates in CS:GO, etc...), and as a learning experience.
Current rig has an AMD 8320E @ 4.4GHz and an ASUS ROG Strix 1070 8G @ 2063MHz
I have no plans to buy any additional hardware.
Power cost is very low, I only pay 1/2 of the electric bill, and even then it's only about $0.065Kw/h.
1) What type of coins should I consider mining with only the hardware listed above?
2) How would I go about creating a wallet, and what options are there?
3) How do you go about spending / withdrawing money from these wallets?
4) How is mining done anyway? What software, and where would I get it from?
