My Laptop configuration Intel i5 processor Nvidia Gt 540M GPU Windows 10 64bit OS

I want to know steps for the following :- pool mining creating new wallet linking wallet to pool linking rig to pool etc....

It might sound stupid to ask all this. But am new to all this. So please kindly help me. I have been surfing many blogs and sited, but couldn't find anything that would help me out completely.

i have downloaded Monero core for windows 64 bit from https://getmonero.org/downloads/ and run successfully i have also downloaded ccminer (forked by tsiv) from https://github.com/tsiv/ccminer-cryptonight/releases

I believe in Monero and wish to be a part of its growth

according to this, your card has compute capabilities

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA

and according to this, ccminer can do compute 2.0 (i assume 2.1 is compatible)

https://github.com/tsiv/ccminer-cryptonight/releases

if you downloaded this: ccminer-cryptonight_20140926.zip

it should be a matter of just unzipping the files, going to the directory where you unzipped, and then running the command indicated on the moneropool page.

assuming your on windows -

ccminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://monerohash.com:3333 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p x
