You've come to the right place, so you...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Mining Polygon MATIC via Unmineable platform<\/h2>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unmineable.com\/\">Unmineable.com<\/a> is a cryptocurrency mining platform that makes it easy for anyone to enter into crypto mining without any Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (<abbr title=\"Application-Specific Integrated Circuit\">ASIC<\/abbr>) or Graphics Processing Unit (<abbr title=\"Graphical Processing Unit\">GPU<\/abbr>) required. With the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/unmineable.com\/miner\">Unmineable mining software<\/a>, you can start mining on your Windows PC or Mac.<\/p>\n<p>As MATIC is not a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/proof-of-stake-crypto\/#pow\">Proof-of-Work<\/a> (<abbr title=\"Proof of Work\">PoW<\/abbr>) token, therefore you can\u2019t mine it. Instead, you can join the Matic network and set up a validator node to collect transaction verification rewards.<\/p>\n<h2>How does Unmineable allow non-mineable coins to be mineable<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Unmineable<\/strong> has created a simple alternative for miners and regular users to begin earning their preferred cryptocurrency. The fundamental mining mechanism is based on real-world mineable currencies that employ the Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithm.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, there is a background exchanging procedure that changes the real mineable currency rewards to the coin selected by the user.<\/p>\n<p>On each award, the conversion is done in real-time, and it seems like the user is mining the non-mineable currency. Furthermore, the users don\u2019t have to pay any additional exchange costs.<\/p>\n<p>Any potential external costs are already included in the 1% that the platform charges, and there are also no fees for payouts or withdrawals.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1. Get yourself a Metamask wallet<\/h2>\n<p>To get a wallet, take the following steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Download the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/metamask.io\/download\">Metamask Chrome Extension<\/a> from <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/metamask.io\/\">metamask.io<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>After installing it, you will see the icon in your extensions. Click on the icon and a new page will open.<\/li>\n<li>Here, click \u201cGet Started\u201d and then click \u201cCreate a Wallet\u201d.\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/how-to-mine-polygon-matic\/01-metamask-create-wallet.jpg\" alt=\"metamask create wallet\" width=\"1500\" height=\"826\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li>Now, create a password for your account.\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/how-to-mine-polygon-matic\/02-metamask-create-password.jpg\" alt=\"metamask create password\" width=\"1500\" height=\"987\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li>Write down the Secret Recovery Phrase.

You\u2019ve got yourself a wallet.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2. Add polygon network to MetaMask Wallet<\/h2>\n<p>After the wallet is created, you will now need to add the Polygon network to MetaMask. Follow the instructions below:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Go to MetaMask in your browser.<\/li>\n<li>Click on the current network \u201cEthereum Mainnet\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Choose the option \u201cAdd Network\u201d at the bottom of the list.\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/how-to-mine-polygon-matic\/05-add-network.jpg\" alt=\"add network\" width=\"1500\" height=\"622\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li>Enter the Polygon Mainnet\u2019s settings as following:\n    <strong>Network Name:<\/strong> <code>Polygon Mainnet<\/code>\n    <strong>New RPC URL:<\/strong> <code>https:\/\/rpc-mainnet.maticvigil.com\/<\/code>\n    <strong>ChainID:<\/strong> <code>137<\/code>\n    <strong>Symbol:<\/strong> <code>MATIC<\/code>\n    <strong>Block Explorer URL:<\/strong> <code>https:\/\/explorer.matic.network<\/code>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/how-to-mine-polygon-matic\/06-polygon-settings.jpg\" alt=\"polygon settings\" width=\"1500\" height=\"839\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li>Once this is done, click the \u201cSave\u201d button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The Polygon sidechain will now interact MetaMask. You only need to change the network whenever you want to run a dApp on Polygon, and you\u2019ll need to change it again when you want to return to the Ethereum Mainnet.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3. Download latest version of XMRig MSVC<\/h2>\n<p>Next, you need to get the most updated version of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/xmrig.com\/\">XMRig<\/a> MSVC from the official website or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/xmrig\/xmrig\/releases\">this Github source<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Extract the <em>.zip<\/em> file and locate a file called <code>pool_mine_example.cmd<\/code> in the XMRig folder and change its contents.<\/p>\n<p>It should look something like this after editing:<\/p>\n<pre>\r\n cd %~dp0\r\n xmrig.exe -o rx.unmineable.com:3333 -u MATIC:0xf16dC7206eDa50C26E49179191a3b533C82fDBEc.wkid01#3185-zsxj -p x --cpu-no-yield\r\n pause\r\n <\/pre>\n<p>The <em>Pool URL<\/em> may be found after the <code>-o<\/code> on the second line.
