Remuneration is distributed from the «PoW General Wallet.» Mining is available from the moment of publication of the source code. To start mining, you need to download and install the official software (freely available on official resources) on your equipment.

There are several options for mining:

* Mining solo: connecting to a Polygon node (dedicated node, INFURA, or similar service). The recipient of the reward must have MATIC in his wallet to pay for the gas to interact with the smart contract when sending the solution.
