I want to mine (and help). I have no prior experience mining (tried... seemed too hard, so I gave up).

I only have a CPU (yeah yeah yeah.. I know).

I downloaded BitcoinXT (https://github.com/bitcoinxt/bitcoinxt/releases/tag/v0.11A). No block source. Now what?

Don't bother mining with your CPU. You would just be polluting the environment, and not making a dent in the debate.

If you want to contribute, you can rent hashpower on nicehash.com or miningrigrentals.com and point it towards a pool using XT.

like I said, I'm a complete noob here... here is a CPU hashing away super slowly "polluting" (do you mean in the used up electricity, or is this a bitcoin thing?) Incidentally the electricity from my utility company is almost 80% hydro (if that is the concern)?
