Monero is another one of those crypto currency that was really big news in 2017. Now the year ends and hoping for a fresh start in 2018. Just got my masternode up and so far so good. X11 is the algo chosen by Sucre so it's not really friendly to CPU. Now, back to Monero. Its algorithm is Cryptonite and it's friendly to miners that only has CPU.
First off, get your monero wallet here. As for me, I do use FreeWallet so I don't worry other app/web for every wallet that I have. Anyway, if you get your monero wallet address, that's OK. All we have to do is to find pool to mine.
I use MineXMR as it's simpler. You can choose whatever you like, just search for "monero mining pools" and you get bunch to choose from.
Get the miner here, extract it to your location of choice and edit the config.json file.

The one in red, you need to change. It's also OK if you don't change it -- meaning you are mining for me. :D Update it with your wallet address. With FreeWallet, it's something in here.
For monero wallet, it's in the Receiving Address, copy those and you're good to go.
Double click "start.cmd" file and you are now a "Pickleeeeeee Rick..........". No, you're not! You're a freaking miner now! Ho ho! Yeah!!!!
