How to mine SHIB and MATIC (Polygon) on Unmineable

Unmineable is a mining platform that allows people to get into crypto mining in the simplest way possible. You don’t necessarily need an ASIC or GPU hardware but with the help of Unmineable mining software, you can run mining on your Windows or Mac PC.

It is called Unmineable because it lets you mine cryptocurrencies that otherwise are not mineable. For example, MATIC is not a PoW (Proof-of-work) based token, so technically, you can’t mine it, but rather you have to set up a validator node that connects to the Matic network to earn rewards for validating transactions.

How does Unmineable allow non-mineable coins to be mineable?

Unmineable has built an easy abstraction for miners as well as for regular users to start earning their favorite cryptocurrency. The underlying mining process is based on actual mineable coins that use PoW. On top of that, there is an exchanging process that runs in the background and converts the actual mineable coin rewards to the coin user chooses. 

The conversion is processed in real-time on each reward. It feels like if the user is actually mining the non-mineable coin. And there are no additional exchange fees that users need to pay. Any possible external fees are already covered inside their 1% platform fee. Also, there are no payout or withdrawal fees. Additionally, if a user opts for a referral code, the platform fees come down to only 0.75%.
