__TOC__

<!--T:3-->
There are two types of mining:

<!--T:4-->
* Proof-of-Work --> add next block to the VeriBlock blockchain. See: [[HowTo_run_PoP_Miner]]
* Proof-of-Proof --> secure an altchain to bitcoin

<!--T:5-->
See: [[PoW vs PoP Mining]]

==Steps to Mine== <!--T:6-->

<!--T:7-->
Download the executables: https://github.com/VeriBlock/nodecore-releases

<!--T:8-->
Follow the steps to set up NodeCore, then the CommandLine, and then each miner.

=== What is a Solo Pool? === <!--T:11-->

<!--T:12-->
The solo pool is just a way to get the entire block reward to one address (you can connect a bunch of machines to a "solo pool" with usernames for easy tracking (like "rig1" or whatever you want), but all of the mining will mine to a single address, and it won't send a transaction with a fee.
