Be very cautious when entering mining world.
The hardware price is high, the difficulty is going up every month/day.
That's is only a few problem that you will encounter, there is a lot more will come.

If you are a gamer, and have an decent gpu/vga
then try mining with it first, see the result, learn to use the miner program, research the pool
research best coin to mine with what hardware.
If you knew about computer hardware & software it will be a great help.

After that calculate the ROI, with your funds
It's actually a bad time to enter mining world now.
Except you have many funds, do not ever enter with limited free funds or even get a loan.

If you don't know where to start then you should probably search google first. Just search "how to start mining cryptocurrencies."

This forum is usually the place to come to with more technical questions after you've done the basics. The basics of what and how to mine are available online. If you don't like to read there are even numerous videos that teach you the same thing.

To succeed in mining you need to learn the skill of research using google.

Hi everyone I am very interested in this mining but I do not know where to start and what is needed to mine.
Maybe from friends there who can explain to me that I am not wrong way and succeed.

You need internet access.

Wired is better then wi fi   but good wifi is okay.

internet speed is less important then internet up time.  


So less say your internet stays up all the time that is good.

Next you need to be able to provide good power no drop outs.

If you can provide  1 15 amp 120volt circuit just for mining it is good.

If you can provide 1 20 amp 240volt circuit just for mining it is better.

If you can provide 1 30 amp 240 volt circuit just for mining you can earn decent money.

 do you have the ability to cool your space?
do you have the ability to stand the noise?

what does your power cost?

what do you have to spend?

how old are you?  we sometimes get people under 18 asking.  I don't like to give a lot of info out to someone that needs parents permission to mine.
