Will mining be possible by installing the wallet? If I want to mining with AMD GPU or NVidia it will not be possible? For my doubt and referring to this line posted in ANN:

Mining instructions:
     Install and run the Verus-enhanced Agama wallet with mining support

The wallet has CPU mining built in, which is currently the fastest, and in fact only way to mine. There is a bounty offered and work being done on a GPU miner, but so far, it looks like when it is done that it may not be too competitive with CPUs. Some CPUs are getting over 500 MH/s, and we have yet to see any GPU getting even 100 MH/s on test hashing.

So the only GUI wallet is the Agama, it seems, is it still mining? I downloaded the CPU nheqminer but was receiving only 0s.

You might need to add the -v parameter, but in any case, the fastest miners right now for CPU, AMD, and nVidia are from Chris (monkins1010) here: https://github.com/monkins1010/
You can check the releases sections. ccminer supports CPU or nVidia, and AMD silent army supports AMD, and I believe CPU as well, but I haven't used that.

For any help with these miners, please use the Discord, which is pretty active: https://discord.gg/aeDbeEc
