#NerdMiner #HowTo
First you need of course the equipment
1.) The LILYGO T-Display-S3
Amazon, AliExpress, https://lilygo.cc/products/t-display-s3?variant=42585826590901 (There are so many People who wil do this and ship it to you, give them Value4Value)
2.) a standard USB-C charging cable
3.) a USB-5V power supply
4.) Desktop (in my case MWindows)
That's it!

Now we come to the setup which is just as simple.
In my case, I'll explain the setup on Windows, but I don't think it will be really different on IOS.
Go to the page
https://github.com/BitMaker-hub/NerdMiner_v2
You now download the ZIP file with the BIN folder and unzip it.
Click on the green Code button and on Download ZIP.

Next we unpack this ZIP with WinRAR (https://win-rar.com/postdownload.html?&L=1) or WinZIP (https://download.winzip.com/gl/nkln/winzip27-home.exe)

In the following step we go again to the Github website and scroll down until we see the section 'Flash Firmware' and click there on the deposited link in point 3. (or this one is the same : https://espressif.github.io/esptool-js/)

A new web page will open. Now you should connect your Nerdminer to the PC to establish a connection. If you run into problems at this point, there's definitely someone on #Nostr ready to help.
On the web page you will see a dropdown menu behind the word Baudrate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baud) and the button 'Connect'.
Set the baudrate to 115200 and click on Connect.
The connection should be established now, as you can see in the console.

Now it gets a bit tricky.
You add the four files one after the other, that means you go to select file and add the first one, then you press 'add file' and add the next one until all 4 are deposited.🛑STOP🛑
Do NOT press 'Program' yet!

Before you click on 'Program' you have to enter the flash addresses.
BitMaker & team were smart and named the beginning of the files after the flash addresses. So we adjust them and then click on 'Program'.
When the programming is finished you will see this picture. The Nerdminer is now ready for use.
Scroll to the top of the web page and press 'Disconnect'.

Your nerdy NerdMiner should now show this image after restarting.
Also here BitMaker has made it very easy for noobs. Either use the QR code to connect the #NerdMiner to your smartphone, or search for the Wi-Fi network 'NerdMinerAP'.

After logging in, you will see this window on your smartphone or other WLAN-enabled device with which you have connected. Select your Wi-Fi network and enter the key.
At the bottom, enter your desired wallet (NotYourKeysNotYourCoins) and press 'Save'.

The Solo Pool
http://solo.ckpool.org with the port 3333 is already preset. You can also use other Solo MiningPools, but make sure you use the correct port.
If you did everything correctly, this is the final result.
Congratulations, you are now contributing to more security on the network.
Be sure to thank
