Setting up your miner can seem like a scary task, but with some guidance it's a fairly straight-forward process.
This guide aims to be get you mining with a quick and simple set-up, but there are of course many different ways of doing things for advanced users.

Raptoreum is most effectively mined with your CPU. GPU mining is also possible, but it is less effective.

You can do both (cpu+gpu mining) to get the most raptoreum out of your PC.
Be aware, however, that there may be other coins that get you more "bang for your buck" in terms of GPU mining.
If you still want to mine Raptoreum with your GPU, there is a GPU mining guide below the cpu mining guide. Scroll down if you want to use it!
Make sure you also check the front page to see your mining options, and decide what makes sense for you!
