| − | == Pool Mining ==
| |
| − | The best way to mine for [[Electroneum]] is to do so with a mining pool. There are many choices with varying pool fees, donation fees and locations. To help reduce latency, choose a pool that's in a location near you. For this tutorial I will be using Terminal in Ubuntu 16.04.
