How to mine Conceal
In this post I will briefly describe Conceal blockchain, and will provide mining tips for those who want to participate.
What is Conceal?
Conceal is an open-source PoW blockchain with emphasis on privacy.
It adds unique features as cold-staking that earns interess on locked deposits, and truly private, untraceable, and end-to-end encrypted messaging service.
Another interesting feature is that in Conceal the mining reward does not change over time.
It will remain unchanged until the total supply of 200M CCX is reached. After that, the mining reward will only consist of transaction fees.
More interesting facts can be learn from Conceal
website.
The tottal supply is 21 Billion. No halving. Block reward is fixed to 6.00 CCX.
Mining CCX
Conceal is using a Cryptonight-GPU algorithm. It is is an ASIC, and FPGA resistant mining algorithm that assures a fair GPU based supported network. Fortunately, Cryptonight-GPU does not overheat the GPU.
If you do not have an CCX Wallet, you should obtain one. The easiest way is to create a web wallet using Conceal Web Wallet . Alternative for Android phones can be Conceal Mobile . Better avoid mining in exchange wallet. Indeed it is possible, but we would not not recommend it.Conceal Wallet
Mining hardware
At the moment this post is written, CCX can be mined with few mining applications.

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. Depending on the selected miner, you may need to unzip the file.
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 XMR-Stak, the run command is:
$ ./xmr-stak --noCPU --currency cryptonight_conceal --url nushypool.com:40006 --user [address].[workername]You can quickly configure your command in our CCX Pool Page and tap "Start Mining" button.
Good luck!
