First, you need a MONERO wallet to receive your coins at its address, you can choose from :
MyMonero: MyMonero is an online wallet
Monero GUI Wallet (beta2): and this one is my choice cause it is on the middle ground you can easily send and receive coins with it and safer than the online one.
Offline wallet generator: and from its name you can know it is an offline wallet for
long-term storing.
And this is a sample for the Monero GUI Wallet (beta2) and how its look like:-

![15.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNy7sNChxsWagHrK6uWsEyPhLo5bfNaH73hxqP3oUWH4F/15.png)
you can not start using this future until the wallet finish downloading the BLOCKCHAIN.

You will fined your address hear.

It is now the time to Pick a miner for CPU, and there are two miners and more but I will present the most used ones and the one I use and work very well.
xmr-stak-cpu: this is the one I choice cause it gives the highest hash rate for your CPU.
wolf-xmr-miner: will knowen CPU miner
-First of all when you download xmr-stak-cpu from the link provided above that you download this one:-
![18.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbmWtSkQEPswma8aVDneqkXiQbBPw95TkYs8iH9LXJuKF/18.png)
After unzipping the file you will be presented with a folder inclouds 4 files like this.>

Now we will configure our miner to point it to our pool and wallet,
you will go to the -- config.txt -- file and press the right click, then choosing edit like in the below pic.
![9.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeHSbJ582bEghgEm2X4qYaJtJnCMNDjrf5Uqr4ZKZeYmD/9.png)
And this is what will show in the -- config.txt -- file.

In these lines, we will configure the CPU threads we want to be utilized by the miner.

the code:-
*/
"cpu_threads_conf" :
[
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 2 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 4 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 6 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 8 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 10 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 1 },
],
/*
*/
"cpu_threads_conf" :
[
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 2 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 4 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 6 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 8 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 10 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 1 },
],
/*
And this code makes the miner use only 7 threads from my CPU.

And now let's start with the most important part, the data that will point the miner to the right direction, the pool you will mine in and the wallet you want to receive your coins in and the finally your password.

"pool_address" : "pool.supportxmr.com:5555",
"wallet_address" : "YOUR WALLET ADDRESS",
"pool_password" : "x",

-And to start your miner after configuration you will press double click on-- xmr-stak-cpu.exe -- file.

this window will appear and Wala it is running if you want to know your hash rate just press the letter -- h -- and it will show like in the pic below.

Thank you for the tutorial! I use minergate myself because it is easy to use and I don't have to do any debugging but this was informational!
thanks for the information it is kind of you :-)
Great tutorial 👍 Keep them coming. Followed & Upvoted
thanks my friend.
great and simple tutorial
thanks for taking time to make this
Release the Kraken! You got a 12.81% upvote from @seakraken courtesy of @omar-hesham!
Great tutorial! I’ve been looking for a solid coin to mine on my CPU.
Great tutorial, keep it up, mining Monero can be interesting indeed.
Thanks for posting such a useful article.
Nice tutorial! Easy to follow
I'm wondering how long you have to mine to get 0.01 monero. Did you successfully mine any?
and how long it takes to get to 0.01 monero is depended on your CPU.
take care my friend
