There will be no support for pools or mining software in the upcoming fork.
To solo mine, follow these directions:
# Windows 10
1. Download `wownero_win64_v0.6.1.0.zip` archive file from [release page](https://github.com/wownero/wownero/releases/latest) and [extract files](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028088/windows-zip-and-unzip-files).
2. Open [Command Prompt](https://www.howtogeek.com/235101/10-ways-to-open-the-command-prompt-in-windows-10/) and [change directory](https://www.digitalcitizen.life/command-prompt-how-use-basic-commands) to location of extracted files.
3. Run `wownerod.exe`and wait a few minutes until there is **SYNCHRONIZED OK** message.
4. Open new tab with `Ctrl + t`, run `wownero-wallet-cli.exe`, name your new wallet, enter a password, select a language, write down and save the 25-word [Mnemonic Seed](https://web.getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/mnemonicseed.html) somewhere safe.
5. To enable background mining while computer is idle and not on battery, type `yes`.
6. Copy your wallet's address, type `exit` and `exit` to close tab.
7. To start mining, in `wownerod.exe`, type and paste `start_mining YOUR_ADDRESS 2`. The number "2" is for two threads and the value could be increased or decreased depending on the number of cores in your CPU.
8. To see mining hash rate, type `status`. This will show you height, mining, and network information.
9. To stop mining, enter command `stop_mining`.
10. To exit Wownero, type `save` and `exit` and then `exit` again to close window.
