Getting Started
A step-by-step guide to setting up your GoMining account and earning your first BTC rewards.
Step 1: Create your account
Sign up at gomining.com and confirm your email. Once verified, you'll have access to the full platform dashboard. No KYC is required at this stage, you can explore the interface and review miner options before committing.
Step 2: Complete identity verification (KYC)
KYC unlocks withdrawals, card issuance, Launchpad access, and higher transaction limits. There are two levels:
| Level | What it unlocks |
|---|---|
| KYC Level 1 | Token withdrawals, minting and selling miners, Launchpad access, higher limits |
| KYC Level 2 | GoMining Card issuance |
Step 3: Get your first miner
Purchase a miner from the GoMining marketplace or from a secondary marketplace. Each miner has two parameters that determine your earnings:
| Parameter | What it means |
|---|---|
| Computing Power (TH/s) | Your share of the total hashrate pool: more TH/s means more BTC per day |
| Energy Efficiency (W/TH) | Electricity cost per unit of hashrate: lower W/TH means higher net rewards |
Higher computing power combined with lower energy efficiency gives the maximum net BTC reward. When comparing miners, always look at both parameters together, not just raw TH/s.
If you purchased from GetGems, you'll need to activate the miner before it starts mining.
Step 4: Choose your mining mode
GoMining offers two ways to earn with your miner:
Mining Mode is the default. Rewards are calculated every 24 hours based on your miner's share of the total pool hashrate and credited directly to your wallet.
Miner Wars is the competitive alternative. Join or create a Clan and battle other players in weekly cycles. Winners earn BTC from the league prize fund and GOMINING tokens for personal victories. The more points your miner accumulates each round, the better your chances of winning.
You can switch between modes at any time — joining a Clan moves you to Miner Wars, leaving a Clan returns you to Mining Mode.
Step 5: Issue a GoMining Card (optional)
Once KYC Level 1 and Level 2 are complete, you can issue a virtual Visa debit card and spend your crypto directly at any Visa-accepting merchant worldwide.
- Instant issuance after approval
- Compatible with Apple Pay and Google Wallet
- Spend BTC, USDT, USDC, or GOMINING, converted to fiat at transaction time
- Earn TH cashback on every purchase, credited to your chosen miner
A Gift Miner is automatically added to your account when you issue your first GoMining Card.
Step 6: Grow with the ecosystem
Once your miner is running, explore the full platform:
- Upgrade your miner: Increase computing power (TH/s) or improve energy efficiency (W/TH) through the marketplace to maximize daily earnings.
- Get a Miner Subscription: Automate monthly hashrate growth without manual marketplace purchases.
- Lock GOMINING tokens: Stake for yield or lock as veGOMINING to earn governance voting power.
- Enable Simple Earn: Put idle assets in your wallet to work generating passive yield.
- Explore Launchpad: Get early access to new ecosystem projects before public launch.
