This is not a complete recipe - it's a component of the [cryptominer](/recipies/cryptominer/) "_uber-recipe_", but has been split into its own page to reduce complexity.
# Exchange
* [cryptopia](https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Register?referrer=funkypenguin)
* [Binance](https://www.binance.com/?ref=15312815)
* [Coinbase](https://www.coinbase.com/join/5a4d1ed0ee3de40195a695c8)
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.
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.

# Wallet
You may be mining a particular coin, and want to hold onto it, in the hopes of long-term growth. The safest place to stick that coin, therefore, is an a wallet.
## Preparation
### Get your wallets
Your favorite coin probably has a link to various desktop wallets on their website. All you have to do is download the wallet to your desktop, fire it up, and then **backup your public/private key somewhere safe**.
### Wallets I use
I mine most of my coins to Exchanges, but I do have the following wallets:
* [Jaxx](https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/jaxx-blockchain-wallet/id1084514516?mt=8) on my iPhone for popular coins (BTC, ETH, etc)
* Eleos wallet for [ZClassic](https://zclassic.org/)
