Good Mining Starting Point for Newbies: Mining Using Cpu on The Web (example bytecoin)

Today, there are cryptocurrency web mining services which you only need an Internet connection and a browser to mine (ofcourse there're PC, electricity, etc).

1. You just go to a search engine and search for a website that service cryptocurrency web mining.
2. Choose a coin that you want to mine and make a wallet if you haven't already.
3. Input your wallet address on the miner and mine.

Easy right? Profit is another thing (the cost is only Internet connection and electricity), but at least I believe this will be a good starting point that will motivate you to explore further in mining and cryptocurrencies.
