 # Exchange
 
-* [cryptopia](https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Register?referrer=funkypenguin)
+You may be mining a particular coin, and want to hold onto it, in the hopes of long-term growth. In that case, stick it in a [wallet](/recipies/cryptominer/wallet/) and be done with it.
-* [Binance](https://www.binance.com/?ref=15312815)
+
-* [Coinbase](https://www.coinbase.com/join/5a4d1ed0ee3de40195a695c8)
+You may also not care too much about the coin (you're mining for money, right?), in which case you want to "cash out" your coins into something you can spend.
+
+In this case, you'll want to configure your mining pool to send your coin-of-choice to an **exchange**, so that you can turn it into a **different** coin, or extract it into FIAT (_oldschool, cave-man currency_).
+
+## Preparation
+
+### Get verified at exchanges
+
+Most exchanges (Binance is currently a notable exception) require some sort of verification of your ID before they'll let you trade, or withdraw coins as FIAT.
+So, you may as well get yourself verified in anticipation (_it can take a while during periods of increased crypto-hype_).
+
+Here are (_referral_) links to exchanges I've used personally:
+
+* [Cryptopia](https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Register?referrer=funkypenguin) : Trades obscure altcoins that other exchanges don't, and can withdraw to USD and NZD
+* [Binance](https://www.binance.com/?ref=15312815) : Doesn't require verification for small-time traders/miners
+* [Coinbase](https://www.coinbase.com/join/5a4d1ed0ee3de40195a695c8) : Beginner's exchange. Coins mined in Nicehash can be sent to coinbase with zero fees.
+
+### Send coins to Exchanges
+
+Now simply configure your mining pool (or your miner) to send your coins to your wallet's deposit address for each coin. Note that every coin has a unique wallet address.
+
+!!! warning
+    Don't try to send one coin (i.e., LTC) to a different coin's (i.e. BTC) wallet. You will **loose** your money and be **sad** 😞
+
+## Withdraw coins to FIAT (cash)
+
+Once you have enough coins in your exchange wallet, you can "trade" them into the real-world currency of your choice. For example, if you mined 100 Ella to [Cryptopia](https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Register?referrer=funkypenguin), you could trade it for NZDT or USDT, and withdraw it to your bank account.

+
+# Mining Pools
+
+You and your puny GPUs don't have a snowball's chance of mining a block on your own. Your only option is to join a mass mining conglomerate (_a mining pool_), throw in your share of the effort for a share of the reward.
+
+## Preparation
+
+### Setup accounts at mining pools
+
+This'll save you some frustration later... Next time you're watching a movie or doing something mindless, visit http://whattomine.com/, and take note of the 10-15 most profitable coins for your GPU type(s).
+
+On your [exchanges](/recipies/cryptominer/exchange/), identify the "_deposit address_" for each popular coin, and note them down for the next step.
+
+!!! note  
+    If you're wanting to mine directly to a wallet for long-term holding, then substitute your wallet public address for this deposit address.
+
+Now work your way through the following list of pools, creating an account on each one you want as you go. In the case of each pool/coin, setup your "payout address" to match your change address for the coin (above).
+
+* [Mining Pool Hub](https://miningpoolhub.com/) (Lots of coins)
+* [NiceHash](https://nicehash.com) (Ethereum, Decred)
+* [suprnova](https://suprnova.cc/) - Lots of coins, but, you generally need a separate login for each pool. You _also_ need to create a worker in each pool with a common username and password, for [Minerhotel](/recipies/crytominer/minerhotel/).
+* [nanopool](https://nanopool.org/) (Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, SiaCoin, ZCash, Monero, Pascal and Electroneum)
+* [slushpool](https://slushpool.com/home/) (BTC and ZCash)
+
+
+## Serving
+
+### Avoid fees
+
+As noted by IronicBadger [here](https://www.linuxserver.io/2018/01/20/how-to-build-a-cryptocurrency-mining-rig/), the name of the game is avoiding fees where possible. Here are a few tips:
+
+* [Mining Pool Hub](https://miningpoolhub.com/) is a popular pool for multiple coins, and it allows you (_for a fee_) to auto-exchange the coins you mine for coins that you actually _want_.
+* [NiceHash](https://nicehash.com) will allow you to send your earned bitcoin (_whatever you mine, they pay you in bitcoin_) to coinbase for free.
