How to mine Cryptocurrency at home?

Mining Cryptocurrency at home being a newbie by May 2021, might not be the best idea. If you are still interested let’s drive into details.

Brief Story of reward from Cryptocurrency:

Mining is a process of verifying crypto transactions by solving the problem by hashing and add them to the Blockchain Ledger.
Every Cryptocurrency has its way of regarding you with the currency based on your mining potential. Some cryptocurrencies provide 10 coins per minute as a limit and some provide 12 coins per hour. The person who solves the problem by mining will be provided with coins.

4 Requirements to start Mining:

• Good Hardware devices (Large specification is required if you are doing on your own) or join a pool of miners with no investment and use your existing PC.
• Digital Wallet
• Mining Software
• Payout

Hardware requirement explained:

Solo Miner:
Solo miners should have a room full of hard devices full of GPUs to solve the mining problems of Blockchain. The regard from the Blockchain will not be split between many people One person gets the reward based on the problem-solving. For Example, Bitcoin provides 12.5 bitcoin for every 15 mins and it will be paid to a person who solves the problem at that time. The remaining millions of miners will not get paid. To get the reward, you need large hardware requirements to compete will large blockchain farms. Many software companies possess acres of mining farms with the latest GPU to get rewarded. If you are not having more hardware, it is better to start mining coins for a new blockchain where competition is low. So it increases the probability of getting the rewards.
Join the pool:
To solve the mining problem for solo people, Blockchain can be mined using a pool of miners. The pool consists of many solo miners using their hardware devices to solve blockchain problems. Miners get paid based on the performance and hash rate of their machine. You can use your existing computer to mine. You can use the CPU or GPU of the machine to mine for the pool. The reward from the pool may not be transparent but you will be paid in coins and you can use the rewards transferred to your digital wallet.

Pool miners need not require to download from the Blockchain website, instead, you need to download the application from the pool website. You just provide your hardware to run in the background and help the pool get the regard, if you contribute more for the pool to get rewarded, you will earn more coins as a reward from the pool. As mentioned before, the rewards may vary from person to person based on their hardware requirement and regards received by the pool at that moment. So you can’t always expect the same rewards every time. The process is not transparent because the administrator of the pool itself could not guess when exactly they might get rewards.
