Principle and usefulness of mining software

Whether you want to mine solo or via a mining pool, and whether it is with a ASIC or a rig GPU, you will need software that allows you to interact the computing power of your machine with the consensus of Proof of Work (Pow) the blockchain you want to mine.

These programs can range from a simple command line interface (CLI) to more advanced interfaces, similar to those of more commonly used software.

The mining software makes it possible to “adapt” the raw computing power of your machine to the dedicated algorithm of the chosen cryptocurrency, such as the SHA256 for Bitcoin (BTC), and the Ethash for Ethereum (ETH).

It will also allow you to have useful statistics
