doesnt really give info on how to join mining pools after setting up cgminer. mainly looking for a all in one tutorial that shows setup and picking out which mining pool you want to join and how to send the mined btc to a specific wallet.

<p>I use BitMinter and just plugged two (one at a time) block erupters into my laptop, once they were installed properly, I did a port scan in BitMinter and was up and running with no issues, only took but a minute or two.</p>

How to set up Block Erupter hardware, how to join a pool, how to mine alt coins, and below you ask how to move coins from pools to wallets. Try searching or asking each question separately if they are not already answered.
