If you want a text tutorial along with the video, check it out at my website: allhow2s.com/how-do-to-cpu-bitcoin-mining-on-windows-using-rpcminer
This is an in depth video on how to do CPU mining on Windows with rpcminer. You can also use guiminer or bitmoose or a few other programs, but I have found the CPU mining on those to be unusually difficult sometimes, rpcminer is the only one that consistently works. For GPU mining, I would suggest guiminer.
The mining pool site (where you set up an account): http://cur.lv/s601
The site to download rpcminer: http://cur.lv/s605
command to start cpu mining (has to be run in the directory where the program is): rpcminer-cpu.exe -url=http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 -user=pascal11110.guest -password=guest -threads=4 -workrefreshms=100
Slush may complain that you are using getwork (an old method), if that is the case, download and run his proxy: http://cur.lv/s5y5 then leave it running, and chage the command when running rpcminer from -url=http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 to -url=http://localhost:8332
The client I use as my Bitcoin wallet is Bitcoin qt, which can be downloaded here: http://cur.lv/s5x7
A great chart of what to expect for speeds for a piece of hardware can be found here: http://cur.lv/s5xb
Want to get free bitcoins? It doesn't pay much, but if you're just starting out and want a few for your wallet, you can get very small amounts of free coins from this site for visiting other websites: http://cur.lv/s5xh
And this one gives you small amounts for just putting in your receiving address every day: http://cur.lv/s5xk
You can also earn bitcoins by having people click on URL's you shorten, it just takes them to an ad before it brings them to the site it was linking to, works very well: adf.ly/NydBX
If you are interested in understanding paper bitcoin wallets, this is a good description on reddit (some profanity): http://cur.lv/wcvn
And if you want to learn more abput bitcoin in general, I highly suggest reddit's bitcoin subreddit: http://cur.lv/wcvq
I now accept donations through Bitcoins! If you don't know what those are, you can get more information about them at bitcoin.org. My average donations are usually less than .001 BTC, but any amount helps me to make more tutorial videos, so any amount is gladly accepted.
