- In short
- To start mining NKN you need a low tech device such as low-end VPS, Raspberry Pi or an old Windows laptop and a good internet connection (without quota). - You need at least 10.1 NKN mainnet before starting a node (See [our guide about the mainnet tokens](https://www.notion.so/Mainnet-NKN-VS-ERC20-NKN-40430ea1f8004469b53cd9b19959b3e7)). - You're not going to buy your Lambo tomorrow from your mining activities but you can generate small additional revenues from your unused ressources.
