To start mining
If your Windows suggest that the miners are "potentially unwanted" software, you may need to select "Allow on device" option in Windows Security settings.
Find the nearest server to your geographical area, and ping it. If the ping is done for less than 100ms, you can consider this server for mining.
$ ping nushypool.comRun the miner. The command line depends from you miner, and your OS. For example to start mining with NBMiner, the run command is:
$ ./lolMiner --algo PYRIN --pool nushypool.com:40010 --user [address].[workername]You can quickly configure your command in our CAS Pool Page and tap "Start Mining" button.
Good luck!
