You can choose your preferred miner, here are the options:
- Now we've pointed our miner towards 6block and using myawesomeminer12 as username. Please remember to only use your mining username on your miner's config, if you set it to something else, you may not mine at all or simply mine for someone else.
- We can now see our miner showing up in the dashboard and getting it's first HNS ! Please remember that only Available HNS can be withdrawn, those marked as Immature haven't been confirmed on the blockchain yet, once they are confirmed, they will become Available. All this happens automatically and you as a user don't need to do anything here.
- Please create a Namebase account to allow for HNS withdrawal from 6block.com. Withdrawals are automatic and will take place every minute (Namebase addresses only until block 2016 when transactions are enabled on the Handshake blockchain).
