Hello Steemit friends. Being technically challenged, I have not attempted to mine crypto-currencies. Well, today I found MinorGate from an advertisement on coinmarketcap.com I downloaded the small file and was mining in about 2 minutes. I am mining with 45K plus people from all over the world. I have done cloud mining in the past, but I feel this gives me more control. Here is my link to the site. https://minergate.com/a/77d8d1ffca6e08a495091e61
This is what the miner app looks like. It is a screen shot of mine. Best of Luck!
