Overview
Mining any crypto currency is the fuel that makes the network run, create new coins and provide a decentralized security model. Mining can be done either on a pool or solo. Pool mining combines your hashing power with others to win blocks at a faster rate than you would normally by yourself. Solo mining simply relies on the hardware and hashing capabilities on your own. This guide will focus on solo mining.
Solo Mining Options
There are 2 ways to solo mine Swamp Coin. Both are effective but option #2 will provide slightly faster hash rates.
1. In wallet Mining - generally considered the easiest and only requires the wallet software
