#### Running a private miner #### Running a private miner
Mining on the public Ethereum network is a complex task as it's only feasible using GPUs,
requiring an OpenCL or CUDA enabled `ethminer` instance. For information on such a
setup, please consult the [EtherMining subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/)
and the [ethminer](https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer) repository.
In a private network setting, however, a single CPU miner instance is more than enough for In a private network setting a single CPU miner instance is more than enough for
