1. Choose mining hardware

Before getting started, you will need to:

• Buy mining hardware: graphics cards (GPU) AMD or Nvidia with at least 4+GB RAM. To check the profitability of your hardware, please visit WhatToMine;
• Connect your GPUs to Windows or Linux compatible PC using PCI slots;
• Install the latest GPU drivers.

2. Create ZEC wallet

To get rewards from mining, you need to have your personal ZEC wallet. Here are some popular wallets:

• Hardware wallets Ledger Nano S or Trezor; 
• Jaxx Wallet;
• Wallet at cex.io.

3. Connect miner to the pool

To start mining in the pool, you need to configure your miner. Here are minerall.io pool settings:
