Getting started / a little fuzzy on connecting units to Mining Pool

I’m about to dive in all at once here but don’t have a good handle on everything yet.

I understand you need good hardware. But now I’m trying to understand how you actually make the machines mine… so you connect your hardware to a mining pool via IP?

How do you know the IP address of your equipment?
Is there software that runs on the machines or does the mining pool service tell them what to do?

What do y’all recommend for mining pool service?

You find the IP of the machine on your network.
setup an account on a mining pool.
login to your machine using the IP addy using your web browser.
enter the pool info.
Boom you are mining.
You will need a wallet to send the Booty too.

It’s all about what you want to mine. That very key. After than then you can consider the hardware.

Connecting hardware is not as bad. Lots of step by step you tube video on setting up hardware and mining pools.

For the pools, try them all out. The one that has the lowest rejections and best payout is the one to go with.

*short version, the miners get fed electricity, them they use their digital magic and make money out of thin air. Real story.

*long version, see link below, TLDR.
