Quick Start Guide
1. Get Your First GPU 🎮
• Click the "GPU Shop" button to open the store
• Start with the free GT 1030 - perfect for beginners!
2. Choose a Mining Pool 🌐
• Mining pools combine the power of many miners to find Bitcoin blocks faster
• Available pools:
- NiceHash: 2% fee, 4hr payout - Good for beginners, quick payments
- Ethermine: 1% fee, 24hr payout - Lower fees, longer wait
- F2Pool: 2.5% fee, 12hr payout - Balance of wait time and fees
- Bitcoin Pool: 3% fee, 1hr payout - Fastest payouts, higher fees
3. Start Mining ⛏️

• Watch your hashrate (mining speed) in the charts
• Mining earns you Bitcoin (BTC) over time
• Shares show successful contributions to your pool
4. Understanding Your Dashboard 📊
- Wallet: Shows your BTC balance and its USD value
- Mining Stats: Your mining speed (hashrate) and successful shares
- Hardware: Your GPU model, temperature, and power usage
- Profitability: Your earnings and power costs
- Bitcoin Market: Current BTC price and market changes
5. Upgrade Strategy 📈
• Save your mining profits to buy better GPUs
• Better GPUs = Higher hashrate = More Bitcoin
• Watch your power costs - efficiency matters!
Pro Tips 💡
- Check GPU efficiency (MH/W) when buying new cards
- Monitor your daily revenue vs power costs
- More expensive GPUs usually have better efficiency
- The Bitcoin price affects your USD profits
- Different pools have different advantages:
- New miners: Start with NiceHash for frequent payouts
- Experienced miners: Try Ethermine for lower fees
- Consider switching pools as your operation grows
Common Terms 📚
- Hashrate: Your mining speed - higher is better (measured in MH/s)
- Shares: Proof of your mining work submitted to the pool
- Power Draw: Electricity used by your GPU (measured in Watts)
- Efficiency: Hashrate per Watt (MH/W) - higher means more profitable
- Pool Fee: Percentage taken by the mining pool for their service
Troubleshooting 🔧
- No Profits? Check if mining is actually started and GPU is working
- Low Hashrate? Your GPU might be too basic - consider upgrading
- High Power Costs? Look for more efficient GPUs or lower electricity rates
- No Shares? Make sure your mining pool connection is stable
