I am also new. So new, I haven't even started yet. One thing I've gathered. Don't rely on some server site to assist you. Go for something you can achieve. Put the work in, and you won't be skimmed as hard as those other site. And, if you've mined $0.08 btc, you're killing it! But I'm going to guess it was 0.08 usd. Which in my opinion is hardly worth bending over to pick up off the streets! But, you are learning things! Keep moving forwards good buddy!
