2、Select mine
3、Select ore pool
4、Connecting ore pool
5、Start mining

Purchase mining machine

As for mining, you need to purchase a special computing device and download mining software to start mining. Mining does not require miners to do it themselves, but computers are mainly used to perform specific operations. The task of miners is to ensure the power and network connection of mining machines.

The purchase of mining machines can be carried out through appropriate channels according to their own needs, and miners in need can consult us for purchase.

When purchasing the mining machine, you need to consider: the power consumption of the mining machine, the computing power of the mining machine, the unit power consumption ratio, the daily output, etc.

At present, Ant, whatsminer and Avalon have good reputation in the market, and the models can be purchased according to their actual conditions and needs.

Select mine
Generally speaking, most miners will not choose to mine at home. First, the cost of household electricity is high, and second, the mining machine will produce loud noise when it operates, which will affect life.

Because of the low cost of electricity charge and the unified management by special personnel, the mine has become the preferred trusteeship mode for most miners. Therefore, after purchasing a new machine, we need to choose a reliable and stable mine.

The standards for measuring the mine are generally based on these indicators: the size of the mine load, whether the power supply is stable, the price of electricity, and the size of power loss.

If you choose to trust in the mine, the miners need to pay electricity fees, listing fees, etc. The electric charge generally includes the electric charge generated by the actual power consumption of the mining machine and the electric charge generated by the electric loss. The power loss is generally about 1% - 3%.

Select ore pool
After selecting the mine, we need to select the ore pool. Here we need to explain why we need to select the ore pool before mining.

In the early days of the blockchain, due to the small number of mining people, a single computer can also gain income every day. However, with the increasing computing power of the whole network. Independent mining soon became unprofitable. So Geek on the bitpointalk forum developed a system to unite miners, centralize resources and share profits in proportion. The website established using this system is called ore pool.

Therefore, in order to maximize the benefits, under the current situation, we should choose to join the ore pool.

The choice of ore pool is based on their own preferences. At present, miners choose more ore pools: coin seals, fish pools, ant pools, btc.com.

After selecting the ore pool, how should we connect our mining machine to the ore pool?

Detailed tutorials can be found in the support center of Ant Mine Pool: https://www.antpool.com/support.htm

After the ore pool is set, inform the miner number and the ore pool of the entrusted mine. You can start your mining journey!
