By doing this, you will be rewarded with some Kryptokrona. If you want to learn about cryptocurrencies, mining is a great place to start! *** **Please note:** Unfortunately because of some bad people using mining software in malware, most antivirus software will detect the programs below as unsafe. It is **likely** you will need to add exceptions and exclusions to your antivirus software in order to make things work properly. Unless you know what you are doing, please ***only*** download from the links below. *** There are currently a few different ways in which you can start mining Kryptokrona: ### Desktop Mining #### [XMRig](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig) XMRig comes as a CPU and GPU miner separately and run two separate instances in your computer. One will use your CPU and the other one will use your GPU. Please follow [this guide](https://github.com/kryptokrona/kryptokrona-docs/blob/master/docs/guides/XMRIG-Guide/README.md) to start mining Kryptokrona with XMRig. #### Solo Mining Solo Mining is where you, alone, try to solve a block. It is extremely difficult and not recommended. If you'd like to give it a hand regardless see [this guide](https://github.com/kryptokrona/kryptokrona-docs/blob/master/docs/guides/CPU-Solo-Mining/README.md) ### SBC/Raspberry Pi Mining Please follow [this guide](https://github.com/kryptokrona/kryptokrona-docs/blob/master/docs/guides/Mining-with-SBC/README.md) to mine with a SBC/Rasperry Pi. ### Pools You may view more info on mining pools [here](https://github.com/kryptokrona/kryptokrona-docs/blob/master/docs/guides/Pools/README.md). ### Have Questions or Need Help?

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.kryptokrona.org/mining/mining.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
