How to run

• Download the config.yaml file and the binary for your platform.
  -- Use neon for ARM architectures
  -- Use AVX2 as a start; the miner will show your hardware support for the SIMDs
• Leave both in the same folder
• Edit the config file to suit your needs using any text editor
• Run the binary file

Important

-If you want to use GPU for the miner, stick to the v1.8.0 release, please
