Mining Waltonchain Mainnet with GPU via GUI
Finally, the Waltonchain Mainnet has been released and its time to get a piece of the action. Unfortunately, the documentation around this release has been scarce, to say the least, so I have created this guide to assist.

<b>As of the 3rd of April:</b> <i>CPU mining is available, GPU mining is limited to Nvidia, only allows 1 GPU and does not report hashrate although some have said mining with CPU is actually vastly more efficient than even a 1080 Ti.</i>

This guide is one of multiple:

Installing Walton Wallet and Generating your Wallet Address (Required for all other articles)
Mining with CPU via GUI
Mining with GPU via GPU
Mining with CPU via CLI using Powershell
Mining with GPU via CLI using Powershell

<h2>Mining with CPU via GUI</h2>

Open up the Walton Wallet. There should be a shortcut on your desktop. If there isn't navigate to "C:\Program Files\WTC\WTC.exe"

Once open navigate to Mining on the left-hand side.

From here you will need to enter your wallet address which you would have generated in the guide: Installing Walton Wallet and Generating your Wallet Address.

Then simply click the intensity you would like and start click on start mining.

<b>(Please keep an eye on your GPU thermal output. If it is above 90C for a prolonged amount of time it may damage the GPU. I take no responsibility for damaged GPUs from simply mining. You mine on your OWN hardware at your OWN risk)</b>

<b>Observations:</b> It has been noted that the GUI will not show your hashrate when you are mining. There are reports that AMD Ryzen CPUs and top end Intel CPUs are outperforming GPUs this may be intended.
