Bitcoin and Litecoin Mining Tutorial – Guide for Beginners Only

Newbie guide for those new to bitcoin and litecoin mining. This tutorial shows you how to get a wallet and install the appropriate software, namely Bitminter for bitcoin mining and Cgminer (I have noticed the 3.8 version doesn’t work well with scrypt, but unsure if it has been completely unsupported, I just use 3.7.2) for litecoin mining. This guide would not be useful for intermediate people but for complete beginners it should be sufficient to get mining in a few minutes. I will also include links to each of the applications I mentioned in the video. If this helped you and you’re feeling generous then feel free to donate some bitcoins or litecoins:
