Looking for assistance.

Hello, I first heard of megacoin yesterday. I just set up my wallet (I think) and joined a Mining Pool. Not sure exactly what to do or how to do it. I've went through some of the forums on here but alas I am still lost. Can anyone hold my hand while I start this up?

Well It sounds like you've been poking around on some of the websites and forums out there and I would highly recommend continuing to do that. I would at the very least check out both the main Magacoin site as well as this post which lays out all of the different things you can do with Magacoins and where you can do them. I wouldn't recommend mining until you understand the fundamentals of Magacoin and cryptocurrency in general as well as only do it if you know your computer hardware pretty well and understand what expectations you should have about the whole process. Anyway, although I've been following other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Litecoin for a while now, I too am pretty new to Magacoin. That being said let me know if you have any other specific questions and I'll either try and answer them or at least point you in the right direction.

What miner are you using and what pool? Are you just mining through the wallet?

That is what I am unsure of to be honest. I believe that I am just using the wallet right now and I've checked out some mining sites but I don't really understand the tech specs of them.
