Just this year I began to pay attention to digital coins and how to get them.
I researched mining ways to get them, however to work with most it was necessary high technical knowledge. So I write this article to simplify the process. Hope it helps :)
First of all it is necessary to have a good hardware to do the mining through the CPU (processor) or the GPU (graphics card). In my case, I use an i7 with a graphic card of 1GB.
Then we need to register a wallet where we will keep the coins. Bear in mind the type of currency that is going to be mined, it should be the same as the wallet portfolio allows. I chose Coinbase for ease of use.
Now you need to install the program that allows mining. After some research, it seems to me that it is better to choose a program that allows to perform the mining using simultaneously the CPU and GPU. I found NiceHash Miner Legacy v1.8.1.6 with a very intuitive interface here:

We just have to enter our address to receive Bitcoin, choose the devices and configure the pool where we will mine.
We can compare and choose the pools in this link:

Happy mining
