TUTORIAL - HOW TO MINE SOLO ON WINDOWS DEVICES USING CPU
If the source code is not available don't trust any app that says it can mine, if is not compiled by you could be a scam! Compile your own binaries to be sure!
Some Tips:
- Always download mining software from official and trusted sources.
- Regularly update your mining software to ensure compatibility with the latest network protocols and security patches.
- Monitor your mining operation regularly for any irregularities or suspicious activity.
- Consider using a dedicated mining device or computer to avoid potential security risks to your personal or work devices.
- Ensure you have a reliable internet connection and sufficient power supply to maintain uninterrupted mining operations.
- Keep your mining address and credentials secure to prevent unauthorized access to your mining rewards.
