I found this blog on Google. They told me to register http://mining.bitcoin.cz/ and so I did. I wanted to download the software so I can start mining bitcoin. However, I am scare that it will harm my computer. Can anyone tell me will it harm my computer? Please do not reply unless you really know. I want true answer only.

Thanks,

Hello,
We can't know unless downloading it since it has no reviews about it but one thing i advise, go to google type "Sandbox Computer Protection" download one of them then when you are about to run a program you don't trust run it in the sandbox it will mean it won't run on your computer but in a program known as a sandbox this will mean no harm if the program is dodgy and contains malware.

Thanks,
Brad

Why not just download one from bit coin.com?.

@Brad W, oh thanks. Never heard of Sandbox Computer Protection before. Hmm, I'll check it out.
@Dennis, thanks but I cant get into bit-coin.com.

Jack, I think the web address you are looking for is http://bitcoin.org. I'm not familiar with the site you linked to in your first post, but you would probably be safer using the official bitcoin.org site and the resources they recommend.

@Fergal, I checked that website before.

I download the mining software and they say that I have no OpenCL Program. What to do?

[Fergal]

BitCoin say here that "the only cost-effective method of mining today is using specialized hardware". Do you have that hardware Jack or do you plan on getting it?

They also link to http://www.bitcoinmining.com, have you had a look at that?

@Fergal, thanks for that link. I dont think I have the hardware to mine Bitcoin. I am also not planning to buy a good hardware. I dont think I should mine Bitcoin now. Hmm, maybe doing service for others will be better than mining for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Works By 'leasing' your Pc's hardware power out over the bitcoin network?.

In most of the cases it doesn't but in this case it could.... Do take advice of related Bitcoin forums before proceeding
