Topic: How does Bitcoin Mining Software work? (Read 2966 times)
Excellent.
It's a very useful branch. Thanks for info!
Firstly, does it run on my computer with a connection to the internet?
It runs off a Bitcoin only system called Compuserve. You need a modem or if you're really lucky, an ISDN line.

Does it run on a website / server hosted online? and second,
It runs using Windows 95's communications program. Make sure your baud rate is correct.

Where can I get this software? and Roughly how much will software like this cost me? 
I'll send you it floppy disks. It'll be £200+shipping.
though your questions are already answered in other branches, it would be great if anybody here has given short answer in one place
Glad to be of help. 
I did have a look, couldn't see a thread, there is a lot of threads though and because I couldn't see one with what im looking for I created a new one. Can you answer any of the questions in my opening post?

Mining software runs on your computer, and it's freely available from various places.
BUT...
Bitcoin mining with a generic PC (even if it has a decent graphics card) is not going to be profitable - you need specialized hardware, forget about mining with your current PC. And buying specialized hardware (ASICs) is also very unlikely to return a profit unless you know really well what you need and what it is worth.

Poke around the forums a bit, all your questions are already answered.
