# How to mine GPN

{% hint style="info" %}
GPN is a proof-of-work coin that uses the KawPow algorithm to protect against ASIC miners. You can mine it by using power of your GPU
{% endhint %}

1. As you mine GPN, you're going to need a GPN wallet to receive your rewards. You can find GPN wallets [here](https://gamepass-network.gitbook.io/gamepass.network/wallet)
2. Configure your mining device by downloading the mining software and setting up different OC parametres for your GPU. 
3. Choose your mining pool

{% hint style="info" %}
For example if you have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660, using Windows OS and you want to use BzMiner as mining software to GYiN2ytpR3YxNusPGi79uCSRVVVpbxjZmN GPN address on mining4people pool
{% endhint %}

* Download [BzMiner for windows](https://github.com/bzminer/bzminer/releases/download/v16.0.5/bzminer_v16.0.5_windows.zip)
* Unzip folder 
* Find gamepass.bat file and edit it (right-click the file and choose the “Edit” option from the context menu. The file will open in Notepad for further editing)
* Replace 0000 with `GYiN2ytpR3YxNusPGi79uCSRVVVpbxjZmN`
* Replace `stratum+ssl://stratum-eu.rplant.xyz:17041` with `stratum+tcps://de.mining4people.com:4169`
* Set up your OC settings by adding different OC commands

@echo off
cd /d %~dp0

bzminer -a gamepass -w GYiN2ytpR3YxNusPGi79uCSRVVVpbxjZmN -p stratum+tcps://de.mining4people.com:4169 --nc 1 --oc_fan_speed 50 --oc_lock_core_clock 1500 --oc_memory_clock_offset 750 --oc_lock_memory_clock 125

pause
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Use different OC settings to other GPUs. You can find your OC on [hashrate.no](https://hashrate.no/coins/GPN/benchmarks) website

You can use another pools available on the [Miningpoolstats](https://miningpoolstats.stream/gamepass) website
