New to Riecoin? Welcome to this exciting project!

Firstly, you should read the [[FAQ]] to get answers to some questions you may have. The [[Home|Homepage]] also provides some useful links.

== Setting up a wallet ==

You can start receiving and sending Riecoin simply by downloading [[rieWallet]]. It is very easy to use and does not need any blockchain download nor configuration.

Advanced users can use [[Riecoin Core]], it is recommended to read the [[Riecoin Core/Basic Setup|setup guide]].

== Mining Riecoins ==

The reference miner is [[rieMiner]], and you can read the guides for [[rieMiner/Pooled Mining|pooled mining]] and [[rieMiner/Solo Mining|solo mining]] to start earning Riecoins by providing computing power and supporting the Riecoin network.

A [https://riecoin.dev/tools/Mining_Calculator mining calculator] is available to estimate earnings, though the best way is still to do some actual mining and use the values shown by rieMiner.
