How to start Bitcoin mining

New to mining? Here’s a clear overview of how Bitcoin mining works and the simplest way to get started with CloudMineCrypto on Web, iOS or Android app.

Introduction to Bitcoin mining

Why is Bitcoin mined?

Bitcoin mining helps secure the Bitcoin network and confirm transactions. Miners contribute computing power to compete for the next block, and the network uses Proof-of-Work to decide which block is added. In return, miners may earn newly issued Bitcoin (the block reward) and transaction fees.

How mining changed over time

Mining has evolved from early hobbyist setups into an industrial-scale activity that typically requires specialized equipment, cheap power, and operational know-how. That shift can make it difficult for newcomers to “try mining” or understand how results behave over time.

A simpler way to get started

CloudMineCrypto provides a cloud-based mining experience that lets you start with a free plan and track your progress in one dashboard. You don’t need to set up mining devices, manage heat/noise, or deal with hardware maintenance.

On CloudMineCrypto, you choose a plan, monitor your hashrate and any optional boosts shown in the app, and follow rewards as they build over time. The app’s hashrate and boost values are used for reward calculations inside the service and do not imply physical miner ownership or direct control of mining equipment.

Types of Bitcoin mining

Traditional mining

Traditional mining usually means running physical hardware yourself. It can provide direct control, but it also comes with real-world tradeoffs:

• Upfront cost for equipment
• Electricity and cooling costs
• Setup, monitoring, and maintenance
• Noise, heat, and space requirements

Cloud-based mining experiences

CloudMineCrypto is designed for convenience and accessibility. You can start with a free plan, explore different plan sizes, and track everything from one place.

• No hardware setup required on your side
• Simple dashboard to track plans and rewards
• Optional plan upgrades and boosts (availability may change)
• Accessible from Web, iOS or Android app

Getting started with CloudMineCrypto

1) Create an account

To track rewards and withdrawals, you’ll need an account. Open the platform by downloading the app from Google Play or App Store, or use the web platform.

When the app or web platform opens, choose a sign-in method (Google Sign-In or Sign in with Apple). This helps ensure your balance stays linked to the same account across devices.

2) Start with the free plan

On the main screen, you’ll see available plans, including a free option (when available). Tap Claim to start and see how reward progress works.

The free plan can typically be renewed on a timer (for example, every 8 hours). This is a great way to explore the experience before choosing any optional paid plans.

3) Choose a plan that fits you

Plans can differ by hashrate and duration. Higher hashrate generally means faster reward progress, but results vary with network conditions and other factors.

Use the slider at the top of the screen to compare tiers and see plan details before confirming. Pricing and plan terms are shown clearly before purchase.

You can also earn additional plans through ads or in-app offers when available. These options may vary by region, device, and time.

Monitoring reward progress

After you activate a plan, you’ll be able to view your active and past plans on the plans screen. This view helps you understand what’s running and how each plan has progressed.

You can filter or sort plans by status to keep things organized, and compare how different plan tiers behave over time.

Managing your in-app wallet

From the wallet screen you can view your rewards balance, review past activity, and request withdrawals to your own Bitcoin wallet or a supported exchange destination.

You can also adjust how values are displayed. Tap Format to pick the unit and precision you prefer.

Withdrawing your rewards

When you’re ready, open the withdraw screen and choose a withdrawal network. Many users prefer Lightning when their destination supports it, because it can be lower-cost and more convenient.

The app will show the minimum amount and any applicable fees before you confirm. Then paste your destination address or Lightning invoice and submit your request.

Withdrawals may be subject to limits or verification depending on your account status and the method you choose. Processing times can vary.
