If you want to become a miner, it is actually relatively simple. Buy a dedicated computing device and download the mining software to start mining. Mining does not require the miners to do it themselves. In fact, the computer performs specific operations. Miners only need to ensure the power supply and the network connection of the computer.
Relatively simple... yes, maybe back in the day. Right now, if you want to make some good profits, it isn't an easy task at all as one has to set up a good mining farm consisting of the latest and very expensive efficient mining rigs.

When i visited your topic i thought i was going to see a few details of how mining is done (how transactions are picked from the mempool and validated) I am just disappointed to see just a paragraph of information that can not teach a newbie anything about how mining is done.
This doesn't qualify to be a "LESSON"  Undecided
