After that, take a note of the random character string called “address” that appears on the login screen. and the first one.
Sign up for the mining pool
A place called the Mining Pool? There are many different types of pools to choose from, I’m not sure what they are, but this time I tried “LA Bitzeny Pool”. There are so many different types, I don’t know what they are, but this time I’m trying out “LA Bitzeny Pool”. I will try to use
