# Start Configuring SOS Mining
Before initiating SOS token mining, please ensure you have completed the following prerequisites:
* Possess a valid **Solana (SOL) wallet address**
* Successfully **connected to Dxpool** and configured Aleo mining
* Have a registered **miner account name (Dxpool username)**
Only after fulfilling these requirements will you be eligible for SOS token mining.

Steps to Add a Mining Rig to SOS Pool
**1. Log in to SOS Pool**
* Visit the [**SOS Pool** ](https://miner.solanaswapminer.com/)**official website**
* Log in using your **SOL wallet address**.
**2. Add a New Mining Rig**
* In the dashboard, locate and click **"+ New Machine"**.
* Enter the **mining rig's serial number**.
* Associate it with your **DxPool username** (Note: The username will be locked to your first entry when adding additional rigs).
**3. Earnings Address Setup**
* For security reasons, earnings will be **automatically paid to the SOL wallet address used for login**.
* **Ensure this address is correct and that you control the private key.**
*Proceed only after verifying all details to avoid payout issues.*
***4.*****Exception**
If you still wish to send your earnings directly to an exchange, you may click the "Modify Receipt" button after completing the above steps and enter your exchange's SOL chain deposit address. Your earnings will then be sent directly to the exchange.
**Important Reminder:**
* Please ensure the exchange already supports SOS token deposits, otherwise your funds may be lost permanently.
* For better security, we still recommend using a self-custody wallet (e.g., Phantom, Tokenpocket) to receive your earnings.
#### Important Notes
**Security**
* **DxPool will never ask for your private key directly.** Any link requesting your private key is likely a phishing scam.
* **Always log in through the** [**SOS Pool**](https://miner.solanaswapminer.com/) **official website** —avoid clicking on third-party links.
**Earnings Tracking**
* Once successfully added, your earnings will be **automatically and periodically distributed to your SOL address**.
* You can check your payouts via:
* **SOS Pool Dashboard**
*

If you are using a mobile device, here are the steps to demonstrate the TokenPocket wallet operation (based on the latest version)
Open your TokenPocket, create your SOL wallet, then open the DApp browser and enter our mining pool address. After that, just follow the steps mentioned above.
*Stay vigilant against scams and verify all URLs before entering credentials.*
**Having issues?**
1. **Check the following:**
* Ensure your mining rig has proper network connection
* Verify your mining pool configuration is correct
2. **Need help?**
* Contact the manufacturer's official customer [support ](https://www.goldshell.com/)
* Provide your mining rig's serial number to facilitate troubleshooting
{% hint style="info" %}
If you have multiple mining rigs, you only need to add a new machine without registering a new pool account.
