How to start mining crypto - for noobs in 3 simple steps :)

Hi let’s imagine that you have no info about crypto but you heard from everywhere that mining is profitable :)

There are few things which you need to get for a start:

PC (with power efficient processor)

at least one graphic card one from this list: https://steemit.com/crypto/@longtime/graphic-cards-for-crypto-mining

good price for electricity

willingness to run your pc 24/7

willingness to learn new things

Step 1.

Ok. Now when you have all of the points listed above you should install some client for mining. For beginning i suggest to use NIcehash application.
For getting this application you need to go on https://miner.nicehash.com and download application recommended for you card (Nvidia or AMD family). Mining on NiceHash means the you will receive payout in Bitcoin so for this you need to have some wallet. If you have a smartphone then you can install Jaxx wallet https://jaxx.io/downloads.html

Step 2.

So now you have miner and wallet and you are almost ready to start mining.
Now you need to launch Jaxx take your current Bitcoin Address (Like on screenshot below)

And open NiceHash open wallet icon and there you have 2 choices. You can mine to your Nicehash account with your email (you bitcoins will appear on nicehash). And second choice is mine directly into your wallet.
In this situation we will choose Second choice - mine directly into your Jaxx wallet.
So if you have opened nicehash and clicked on wallet icon then you need to click on “Use BTC Address (advenced)” in field Bitcoin Wallet Address you need paste bitcoin address from Jaxx. Now click ok and start mining. For sure for the first time you will be asked for running a benchmark - don’t worry you need to agree and it takes some time. After this mining should run automatically and you will be able to see how much you will earn per 1 day like on screenshot below.
