I'm going to sound mean here...

If you can't find resources / guides about basic mining then you probably shouldn't mine. It's not free money. It requires effort to make a profit from it. Just asking "Hey I want to mine, how do I do it?" demonstrates a lack of effort to me.

Just my $0.02.

Agree and also sorry to be rude, but google it. You need to do research and figure it out, as most people here did. If you can't figure it out, you probably don't want to bother with mining because there will be issues, and you'll have downtime and need to tweak, etc, so it won't be worth it - probably will be frustrating too.

Please can you suggest a good or average miner-mine, so I can try them.
Here in Nigeria there is no any idea of this new game around and so I want to start from scratch, please advice further in a step by step to effective mining.
However if there is a good book for this business I wouldn't mind to get it for good.
Thanks and cheers.

Honestly reading the boards will do you more then a book for mining. A book that explains bitcoin might be good if you completely new.

Mining changes so often a book would be hard to keep up to date, it would really need to be electronic and constantly updated. Look into if hosted or at home mining is best for you then pick a machine.

It will have more to do with your budget, and risk level. All very personal things not something a book can tell you.

I found that there was a simple guide on Slush's pool that I first used that kind of walked me through what to do to get started. I eventually switched pools but it was a good start. Seriously, there are so many "guides" out there now (compared even to a year ago), and the hardware is simpler than it used to be, now a lot are plug and play, so you can figure it out.

Please can you link me to any of the guide, I am a complete novice and wish to learn.

Thanks

Now use miner mining is very easy, most miner have a friendly console, and almost everyone could know how to set it, as it is only need fill in pool address.

Very true. There is a lot of hosting option you basically point to pool and done. With in home you pick miner and plug it in then point to pool. (this assumes you have a bitcoin wallet for the bitcoins to go to).

There is not real trick just doing right calculations on ROI. Lower the cost the higher the profit(this assumes you operate in profit).

You can mine to gain some experience with wallets and mining software, but if you want some profit forget it

Do you want to mine yourself, with your own hardware or mining with "cloud mining" services?

It would help, if you gave more information on the hardware you have now, if you plan on using that or if you going to be buying new hardware.

Some people mine on smart phones these days, so anything is possiible, if you mine the right currency. Wink

So tell us a bit more.

Ps.. What is your electricity cost like?

You should start by using your computer or laptop to mine (just for testing and don't use it for real mining). You can download cgminer for it..

There are literally hundreds of ways to mine and no one post can cover all of that. To keep it simple:

-Buy Miner
-Plug it into computer/laptop/Pi or configure it through web acess
-Pick some pools to mine on and make accounts
-Mine using CGMiner or BFGMiner
-Spend BTC and be happy!

Here's a more detailed guide for many ASIC models:
