Hey,

very new to  mining! How do I start the wownero miner??? Downlaoded it, but.... I'm a mining noob

[asymptotically]

Which miner did you download?

If you want to solo mine, you can just type `start_mining ` (e.g. `start_mining 4` for 4 cores) into the wallet CLI to start mining.

If you want to mine in a pool, you need to download XMRig](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest) and pick a pool ([HashVault](https://wownero.hashvault.pro) and [wowne.ro and download. The pools usually have a getting started guide, but the short answer is that you need to paste the pool's address and your Wownero wallet address into the `config.json` file.

Also remember that you only get paid a little while after a miner on the pool finds a block, so don't expect anything to show up in your wallet instantly

Hi  asymptotically,

Many thanks for the fast reply. This helps a lot. Downloaded 3 files directly from wownero homepage. Thought this was the miner I will try it with the wallet now.

Many thanks again.

Good luck solo mining! It's great because it keeps the network decentralised, but if you're a small miner (only a few Kh/s) it can take a long time before you see any rewards.

[mantenna]

Yes I will also have a look at the pools - sounds interesting too :slight_smile:
thanks again for the tip!

skypool.org has found 70 of the last 100 blocks. not good!

[asymptotically]

44 of the last 100 blocks were found by a pool unknown to miningpoolstats.stream

Another options for mining

**Windows**
download XMRig v6.2.2+

Example **start.cmd**
```
@echo off
xmrig.exe --donate-level 1 -o wownero.herominers.com:10661 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p YOUR_WORKER_NAME -a rx/wow -k
pause
```


**Linux**
Install XMRig v6.2.2+ with these commands.
    sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake libuv1-dev libssl-dev libhwloc-dev
    git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
    mkdir xmrig/build && cd xmrig/build
    cmake ..
    make -j$(nproc)

xmrig will now be located in `/home/youruser/xmrig/build/bin`
then start mining

```
./xmrig --donate-level 1 -o wownero.herominers.com:10661 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p YOUR_WORKER_NAME -a rx/wow -k
```

Brand new to all of this and want to start mining.  What should I be looking for when building my PC for this purpose? I have a couple of old PC laying g around but have outdated operating systems on them and run extremely slow . Hell I don't even know if they turn on anymore lol I have become too dependent on my phone in recent years

[pendragonj]

I'm in the same spot bud. DM for memes and we can help each other if no one else replies in time hahahaha
