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- Outdated: The page is outdated and might not work as expected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- Translation outdated: The page is translated, but the original (English) document has been updated
To mark a guide as outdated, we change the boolean of the front matter entry 'outdated' in /resources/user-guides/GUIDE.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- translationOutdated: "yes" if the translation is outdated, "no" if it's not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.

## How to mine Monero (XMR) without a mining equipment?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don’t have a profitable mining equipment, nor time or
|
|
|
|
|
|
money to invest into building it, you can still mine Monero with NiceHash.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NiceHash is a hashing power marketplace. Sellers of hashing
|
|
|
|
|
|
power, i.e. miners, provide the hashing power for buyers (those who want to buy
|
|
|
|
|
|
a service of mining a certain coin). Hence, NiceHash can provide you a massive
|
|
|
|
|
|
hashing power in short amount of time. You won’t have to wait for years to see
|
|
|
|
|
|
if you will make a profit or not and you can control which coin, at which pool,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and for how long you want to mine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### **Step 1:** Create new account at NiceHash
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Visit [registration
|
|
|
|
|
|
page](https://www.nicehash.com/?p=register) and register with your e-mail address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### **Step 2:** Deposit some Bitcoins to your account
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will mine Monero, but you can buy hashing power at
|
|
|
|
|
|
NiceHash only with Bitcoins. You can always withdraw unspent Bitcoins from your
|
|
|
|
|
|
account back to any Bitcoin wallet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Visit your [wallet
|
|
|
|
|
|
page](https://www.nicehash.com/?p=wallet) and make a deposit. Note that the minimum price for placing an order
|
|
|
|
|
|
equals 0.01 BTC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### **Step 3:** Find a suitable pool for mining and add it to your pool list
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Selection of the pool plays a big role in the final amount
|
|
|
|
|
|
of mined cryptocurrency. Make sure the pool you have selected can handle
|
|
|
|
|
|
massive hashing rate and loads of shares, especially from a single connection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can find a list of Monero pools [here](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.0).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that you will probably have to register an account at
|
|
|
|
|
|
selected pool as well. The pool will provide you with all the information you need.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can save your favorite pools at [this page](https://www.nicehash.com/?p=managepools).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### **Step 4:** Create new order and start mining
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When creating a [new order](https://www.nicehash.com/?p=orders&new), make sure you
|
|
|
|
|
|
select CryptoNightR algorithm for mining Monero (New algorithm variant since 2019 March the 9th). If you want to first learn more
|
|
|
|
|
|
about placing an order with NiceHash, we recommend you to read this [frequently asked question](https://www.nicehash.com/help/buyers).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to bid on
|
|
|
|
|
|
hashing power select Standard (bidding) order type and if you want a fixed
|
|
|
|
|
|
order that cannot be outbid, select Fixed order type. The status of marketplace
|
|
|
|
|
|
and approximate prices of mining can be checked at [live marketplace](https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=orders).
