Your first plan: coin, pool, wallet — nothing extra
2026-08-08
Three choices. The rest is the form and payment. If any of the three is fuzzy, read the guide first.
Coin. Bitcoin and SHA-256 cousins share the same ASIC class. Litecoin is Scrypt, another market. Pick the network whose wallet you already hold.
Pool. Open an account on F2Pool, ViaBTC, AntPool or Litecoinpool and create a worker. For Bitcoin solo, CKPool plus a wallet is often enough.
Wallet. Only one you have keys for. Check the address twice: after payment we will not redirect the hash.
Then on the site: hashrate, duration, the same host / port / worker. Pay, then watch the pool stats. The pool counts coins.
