# 🧑🎓 Mining Intro

Mining is essentially the process of using your computer to help verify and secure a cryptocurrency network, in our case, it is the Kryptokrona network. 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
