# Download a GPU miner. Several are available, but for the purposes of this quick start guide, one of the most popular miners, [https://github.com/trexminer/t-rex/releases T-Rex, is linked]. Please note that this software is closed source and should be used at your own risk. Best practice: do not use closed source mining software on a machine containing personal or sensitive data. [https://github.com/RitoProject/ccminer Open source code is available here], but will require compiling. This is beyond the scope of this article. Further, the open source miner performs poorly compared to T-Rex or Zenemy miners.
#If necessary, create an account with your selected mining pool. Some pools require a username. Others allow you to mine to an address. Most pools will offer a brief guide of their own, or even an example .bat file. For this example, we will point our hashrate at Minermore. The T-Rex software is more or less pre-configured for this, and will require only a few inputs. Minermore does require you to register a username, so do that before continuing.
# Extract the T-Rex folder and , open the "config_example" file , and change the appropriate information (right click the file and select a program like notepad or notepad++). Copy and paste your mining address (generated earlier) in the quotation marks where you see the string of characters starting with "R." Wherever you see <code>"CHANGETHIS.worker"</code>, enter <code>"YOURUSERNAME.worker"</code>. Minermore does not require a password for your worker, so you may disregard this in your configuration file.
# Open "RVN-minermore". After a brief delay, text should begin scrolling. If your configuration is correct, you will see your hashrate displayed in MHs. Otherwise, any errors will display and you may need to reconfigure appropriately.
