How to “Mine” XEM

Do you want to mine XEM? Fortunately NEM uses a new and improved consensus method called POI that is ultra-light and energy efficient. For more about havesting on NEM (NEM's version of mining) please visit the following blogs

But some people like the original POW style of mining. As mentioned above, NEM uses harvesting which works from an accounts importance, but if you are still interested in POW style mining with video cards or ASICs what you can do, however, is mine other altcoins and move them to XEM at their exchange rates automatically.
This has two main advantages for both you and the NEM ecosystem.
You take advantage of NEM’s relatively stable/rising price for your asset holding.
You slowly but surely increase the NEM market cap from the exchange rate of whatever coin to XEM.
So, without further ado, let’s get started switching your mining rigs to XEM.
