**Step 1. Create a new wallet**
To solo mine WOW, you first need to create a new wallet. Please keep in mind that you should only use this wallet for mining.
**Step 2. Copy your wallet address and spend key**
You now need to copy your wallet main address and private spend key.
To do this in wowlet, use "wallet>keys".
*IMPORTANT*: Never share your private spend key as it can be used to access your funds.
**Step 3. Download SuchMiner**
Download SuchMiner from here (https://github.com/duggavo/SuchMiner/releases) and unzip it.
**Step 4. Start mining**
Launch SuchMiner by double-clicking it.
NOTE: on windows, antivirus might flag "wowrig.exe" as malware. If it does, add an exclusion to Windows Defender. Wowrig is the miner internally used by SuchMiner.
