<p>I think you need to take some time and do some reading about what Bitcoin is.</p>

<p>Ask yourself, What are your goals with Bitcoin? Do you intend to simply own bitcoin? Why do you want to own it?</p>

<p>If your answer is, you want to own it because everyone is getting into it, you may want to reconsider what your trying to do.</p>

<p>I am new to bitcoin. Before I decide to buy the hardware/software I want to know about kind of problems solved. And more importantly do I need to be skilled in any specific area (like mathematics or know of any software coding languages etc).</p>

<p>So my basic question is once I purchase the hardware and software and join a bitcoin pool, will I be assigned a specific problem to solve a problem by myself? OR is it just that my hardware/CPU is used to solve the mining problem(and I need not do any coding etc).</p>

<p>Thanks for any help or references.</p>

# What kind of problems are solved when mining?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-01-12)

I am new to username_0. Before I decide to buy the hardware/software I want to know about kind of problems solved. And more importantly do I need to be skilled in any specific area (like mathematics or know of any software coding languages etc).

So my basic question is once I purchase the hardware and software and join a username_0 pool, will I be assigned a specific problem to solve a problem by myself? OR is it just that my hardware/CPU is used to solve the mining problem(and I need not do any coding etc).

Thanks for any help or references.

I think you need to take some time and do some reading about what username_0 is.

Ask yourself, What are your goals with username_0? Do you intend to simply own username_0? Why do you want to own it?

If your answer is, you want to own it because everyone is getting into it, you may want to reconsider what your trying to do.
