Download NEX Miner
One small download. The first start fetches the NEX node and lolMiner (GPU) for you.
Start in 3 steps
Unzip the download
Put the NEX-Miner-Windows folder anywhere, for example on your Desktop.Write your wallet address in .env
Open .env with Notepad and replace the zeros with your NEX Chain address (MetaMask or Nex Wallet). Choose gpu or cpu.MINER_ADDRESS=0xYourWalletAddress MODE=gpu CPU_THREADS=2
Start mining
Windows: double-click START-NEX-MINER.bat. Linux:./nex-miner.sh
NEX Miner starts your own NEX node, downloads the chain (a few minutes), then mines. Press Ctrl+C to stop.
Only your address goes in .env. Never write a private key or your 12/24 secret words anywhere.
What can I earn?
Enter your hashrate. Example: RTX 3060 ≈ 45 MH/s, RX 580 ≈ 30 MH/s, GTX 1660 Super ≈ 30 MH/s.
Estimate only. Rewards depend on luck and on how many others mine. More miners → higher difficulty.

Questions
Where does my reward go?
Straight to the address in your .env file. Each block you find pays 5 NEXC. You see it in MetaMask on NEX Chain and on NEX Explorer.
Windows Defender blocks lolMiner
Antivirus programs often flag every crypto miner. lolMiner is downloaded from its official release. Allow the NEX-Miner folder in Windows Security → Virus & threat protection → Exclusions, then start again.
Why does it say "Downloading NEX Chain blocks"?
NEX Miner runs your own NEX node, so it first copies the chain. This takes a few minutes the first time, later starts are fast.
How long until I find a block?
It depends on your share of the network hashrate. The calculator above gives an estimate. With solo mining you get full blocks, not small payments.
The hashrate shows 0 at the start
The graphics card first prepares the DAG (mining data). This takes a minute, then the hashrate appears.
Can I mine with more PCs?
Yes. Copy the folder to each PC and use the same or different addresses.
