Filecoin (FIL) mining differs from traditional crypto mining, focusing on storage over computation using proof of replication (PoR) and proof of spacetime (PoST). To mine FIL: 1. Acquire powerful computing hardware with ample storage. 2. Set up a Filecoin wallet for managing FIL transactions. 3. Install Filecoin mining software on your hardware. 4. Adjust software settings, linking your Filecoin wallet for reward transfers. 5. Launch the Lotus miner to become an active storage provider. 6. Collect FIL rewards based on your storage capability, retrieval speed, and service reliability. 7. Consider joining mining pools for enhanced reward opportunities by pooling resources with other miners.
