Bitcoin itself and bitcoin mining has been on the market for many years, but a lot of new people still trying getting into the subject and still have the same questions we all had once. I don’t think it is feasible to answer all these questions here, but we’ve decided to post a list of good internet resources that might answer most, if not all, of the Bitcoin related questions. On top of that, we’re publishing necessary links to understand the hardware we picked up for this project.
