If I was interested in mining bitcoin, how best to proceed?

posted by [Deleted] on Bitcoin

I don't know the first thing about it... I've mined for phuks a bit but I wouldn't mind doing it a bit on my own... how would that translate into actual currency? I do have 5 or 6 old quad cores lying around...

Don't do it, you'll end up losing money on electricity bills and the amount of bitcoin you get won't be enough to make a profit. We mine Monero, it is probably the most mineable coin that is actually worth something.

You get a miner like xmrig, set it up, point it to a mining pool and leave it running.

Bitcoin is the currency of the Internet: a distributed, worldwide, decentralized digital money. Unlike traditional currencies such as dollars, bitcoins are issued and managed without any central authority whatsoever: there is no government, company, or bank in charge of Bitcoin. As such, it is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks.
