Can anyone explain the mining feature in my VNL wallet? When the wallet is open, I automatically mint a few coins (PoS I guess). I clicked on "start mining" guessing I could generate more that way. Not sure how much more. The problem was that mining seemed to really run my laptop hot. So, wondering if mining requires a more powerful set-up. Thx for your patience on the newbie questions.
That utilizes your CPU for hashing. It really isn't powerful enough to be worthwhile at this point because there is a lot of GPU power on the network. Very unlikely you will receive any reward mining from the wallet, if you have a GPU you can join a pool to mine.
