### Test miners
Before trusting the whattomine service to launch your miners, test each one first by starting them manually, and then checking their status.
Before trusting the whattomine service to automatically launch your miners, test each one first by starting them manually, and then checking their status.
For example, to test the **miner-amd-eth-ethhash-ethermine** miner, run
1. ```systemctl start miner-amd-eth-ethhash-ethermine.service``` to start the service
2. And then watch the output by running ```journalctl -u miner-amd-eth-ethhash-ethermine -f```
3. When you're satisfied it's working correctly (_without errors and with a decent hashrate_), stop the miner again by running ```systemctl stop miner-amd-eth-ethhash-ethermine```, and move onto testing the next one.

### Launch whattomine
Finally, run ```systemctl start minerhotel-whattomine``` and then ```journalctl -u minerhotel-whattomine -f``` to watch the output. Within a minute, you should see whattomime launching the most profitable miner, as illustrated below:
