The next version of GUI miner should contain mineco.in as a default option!
Topic: Beginners guide to pooled bitcoin mining (Read 12409 times)
For OSX I would recommend Diablo miner, but you'll need to know how to use the terminal...
Info on pooled mining with OSX will be great.
Come on Newbies, get involved ! 
I'm afraid the 5BTC has been claimed! but more blocks are sure to follow
We are still offering a 5 BTC bonus at our pool, which should be a nice incentive for newbies
Glad it helped.
A shameless plug:
We are giving away a 5BTC Bonus to whomever finds our first block! This won't be taken from the pool reward, but from my personal wallet!

Great tutorial. Thanks, this actually really helped!
Sweet, your guide got this noob up and pool mining in no time!
No problem!
I think it's fair to say that most newbies are running Windows, but I will try and get a MacOSX version up tomorrow - work permitting.

Thanks nixpins
Setting up your own mining pool is a reasonably complex process.
The mining pool software is open source, but it still requires quite a bit of time to get it all working - once that is done you need to make sure you have good enough hardware to run it all one, and then you have a pool with no front end. There are some open source pool front ends linked here on the forums, but I don't know how mature any of them are. I installed a few of them before deciding to code my own.

Your site has a pretty slick aesthetic, I have to say.
Thank you.
I've been looking for something like this for a while now.
I'm also interested in a make-your-own pool guide.
Keep up the good work.

Nice work this is easy explanation how to start the bitcoin mining. I agree should be step by step guide for setting own pool mining.
I'm going to stick to suggesting people get their own wallet primarily though - I think it's for the best.
Yea, I'm not comfortable enough with the online wallets to even try that. Not that I have a ton of (or even one) BTC to put in one, but I would rather not trust anything online to keep my stuff secure at this point.

Great advice. I think I'll put that on my site as well!
