Simplify versioning system for user guides This new approach doesn't require version numbers and make easier for contributors to understand the status of the document. There are only 3 states: - Outdated: The page is outdated and might not work as expected - Untranslated: The page needs to be translated - Translation outdated: The page is translated, but the original (English) document has been updated To mark a guide as outdated, we change the boolean of the front matter entry 'outdated' in /resources/user-guides/GUIDE. If 'False', the guide is updated. If 'True' all versions of the guide (English included) will show a warning at the bottom of the page. The other 2 states are related to the status of the translated pages and we control them from the language-specific user guides: /_i18n/LANG/resources/user-guides/GUIDE. At the top of the page a snippet will include 2 parameters: - translated: "yes" if the page is translated, "no" if it's not. - translationOutdated: "yes" if the translation is outdated, "no" if it's not This new system aims to be simpler than the precedent, avoiding to compare versioning numbers and using a higher level system instead (yes, no, True, False). I also removed the middle way status 'only minor changes', because if there are only minor changes that don't affect the usability of the guide, we don't need to point it out. The old system was complex and people didn't use it. These changes will hopefully make things easier for translators and other contributors.

It is very easy to solo mine with the official GUI. If you have not done so already, go to the <a href="{{site.baseurl}}/downloads/">Monero downloads page</a> and download the official GUI for your operating system. Then, run the setup and be patient as Monero synchronizes with the network. You should see that it displays "Connected" in the lower left corner.

Click on the "Advanced" tab. You should see that several other options appear. Now click on the "Mining" sub-tab.

You should now have an option to start mining. You can optionally change the number of threads to mine with. For optimal efficiency, you should mine with your CPU's cache divided by 2. You will need to look up your CPU's specs on the manufacturer's website. If you are unsure, leave the number of threads at 1. Click the "Start mining" button.

You are now mining with the network, as you can see on the bottom of the image. In this example, the computer is contributing 23 H/s to the Monero network. Mining helps keep the network secure, and you may get lucky and receive a reward for protecting the network.
To stop mining, simply click the "Stop mining" button.
