So, you’re interested in learning how to mine Conflux? That’s great, because you’ve come to the right place! In the following guide, you will learn how to mine Conflux with a GPU (Linux, Windows only). 

Before you start learning how to mine Conflux, first find out if this coin is profitable for you. To check the profitability, you can simply use the Conflux mining calculator.

Let’s start by finding out what the Conflux cryptocurrency is.

What’s Conflux?

Conflux is a high-performance decentralized blockchain that uses a unique Tree-Graph consensus mechanism that allows blocks and transactions to be processed in a parallel way. This feature gives Conflux greater speed and scalability than coins that process blocks one-by-one (like Bitcoin, Ethereum).

Conflux also features ShuttleFlow, a fast asset-to-network bridge that enables seamless asset transfer across multiple protocols. 

Now that we know the details about Conflux, let’s create a wallet!

Creating a wallet

The first thing you need before you start mining Conflux is a wallet. With the wallet, you can send and receive CFX and keep track of your balance. But the most important thing for us why we need a wallet is to get a wallet address in order to start mining. Without it, you won’t be able to mine!

To make wallet creation really easy to understand, here is a step by step tutorial for you. So, let’s begin!

You need to create a New Seed Phrase which are some words separated by space. 

Step 4. Name your seed phrase group

Name your Seed Phrase Group according to your choice and then click Next.

Step 5. Note down your Seed Phrase

Write down your Seed Phrase so that you don’t lose it as you’ll be needing it later.
