-===== Mining =====
+====== Monero Mining ======
-Mining is possible with any of your devices, so we will go trough both phone and computer. For your phone, you might wanna use the App [[https://f-droid.org/packages/org.elijaxapps.androidxmrigminer/|Android XMRIG Miner]] For your Computer, there are many posibilities how to mine, you can choose between:
+P2Pool is a decentralized service to mine Monero. It works by making users attach the p2pool software to their existing Monero nodes, and mining through the port provided by the p2pool daemon.
-    * **Solo:** You can mine using your Monero wallet. No need for additional software, but takes more time, and is inperminent because your device obviously shutdowns sometimes.
-    * **Pool:** Frequent payouts. You will receive XMR according to how much you are participating in the pool of your choice.
-    * **P2Pool:** P2Pool is a sidechain to Monero, and P2Pool blocks are potentially Monero blocks. Each miner submits block templates that include payouts to all of the miners that are mining at the same time. High quality block templates are added to the P2Pool blockchain as blocks; these count as "shares" for the miner who found them.
