# 📶How to Mine BDAG?

Here’s the breakdown of the process of how to mine on BlockDAG. Make sure you follow each step carefully.

### *<mark style="color:blue;">Step 1:</mark>* <mark style="color:blue;"></mark><mark style="color:blue;">Set Up Your Hardware</mark>

* To start mining, set up your hardware first. Here, we will use ASIC Miner to get started.&#x20;
* Ensure a stable power supply for ASIC miners. Connect it to a reliable power supply so it can’t experience interrupted operations.&#x20;
* As ASIC miners don't have direct access to WiFi, try to connect them directly to Ethernet cables. By doing so, a stable and fast connection will be maintained to help efficient mining.&#x20;

### *<mark style="color:blue;">Step 2:</mark>* <mark style="color:blue;"></mark><mark style="color:blue;">Establish Network Connection</mark>

* Once your hardware is set up, fix a proper network connection for better performance.&#x20;
* Ensure each ASIC is recognised on local networks. It ensures they can communicate easily with each other and the mining pool.&#x20;

### *<mark style="color:blue;">Step 3:</mark>* <mark style="color:blue;"></mark><mark style="color:blue;">Mining Pool Configuration</mark>

* Mining pools share the rewards within your network, so connecting ASIC miners to a mining pool is necessary.&#x20;
* Log in to the control panel of each ASIC Miner and fill out the required fields to connect the mining pool. These include protocols, Addresses, usernames, and other relevant information.&#x20;
* Confirm that the miners' control panel is ready to perform. Check connection and configuration before starting.&#x20;

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.blockdag.network/blockdag-wiki/blockdag-mining-overview/how-to-mine-bdag.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
