# How To

#### 1. 🚀 Getting Started

* [**Download the app** and sign in](https://t.me/SatoshiMiner_Hq_Bot).
* Make sure your wallet has:
  * **$satBTC** to cover **mining fees**
  * **TON** to cover **gas fees** for on-chain transactions.
* You’ll start in **Valley 1** with 3-hour mining sessions.

***

#### 2. ⛏ How to Start Mining

1. Tap the **“Mine”** button.
2. Mining **time is auto-assigned** based on your current **valley**.
3. You’ll pay a **small mining fee** in $satBTC.
4. You’re now placed into an active **21-minute mining block**.
5. After 21 minutes, rewards are calculated and distributed based on your contribution (hash rate).

⏱️ **You have 5 minutes** to join a new block after it starts — or you’ll be added to the next one.

***

#### 3. 💰 How Rewards Work

* Each block has a reward pool (e.g., 1,000 satBTC).
* Your **share** of that reward depends on your **hash rate** compared to the total hash rate in that block.
* More powerful setups = higher earnings.

***

#### 4. 🏞 Understanding Valleys

Valleys determine:

* **How long** your mining sessions last
* The **minimum $satBTC** you must hold
* The **mining fee** required

| Valley | Mining Time | Required $satBTC | Fee   |
| ------ | ----------- | ---------------- | ----- |
| 1      | 3 hrs       | 0                | 10    |
| 5      | 6 hrs       | 300,000          | 150   |
| 10     | 12 hrs      | 1,500,000        | 800   |
| 15     | 24 hrs      | 5,000,000        | 2,500 |

🔻 If your wallet balance drops below your valley’s requirement, you’ll automatically drop to a lower valley.

#### 5. ⚙️ Upgrading Your Mining Power

Upgrade your:

* **CPU**
* **GPU**
* **RAM**
* **Energy**

Each upgrade increases your **hash rate**, helping you earn more in every block. Upgrades get more expensive as you level up, and the costs vary by component.

***

#### 6. 🔄 What is a Mining Block?

Each **21-minute cycle** is called a **block**:

* Users join and contribute hash rate.
* When the block ends, the app distributes rewards based on each user’s contribution.
* A new block starts automatically.

***

####  7. 💰 Claiming Rewards

* Once a block ends, your rewards are calculated and added to your **wallet section**.
* Visit the **wallet** tab to **claim your rewards**.

***

#### 8. 🔗 On-Chain Transparency

All mining activity and rewards are stored **on-chain** — fully transparent, secure, and immutable.

***

#### 9. 📈 Staking in Satoshi Network

* **Stake your $satBTC** to earn passive rewards.
* Staking is **locked** for a fixed period (e.g., 30 days, 90 days).
* The longer you stake, the higher your **APY (Annual Percentage Yield)**.
* Staked tokens are used to **secure the network** and support long-term value growth.

📌 Rewards are distributed monthly and are separate from mining rewards.

***

#### 10. 📊 Signals (Trading Tools)

Satoshi Network offers **free trading signals** powered by AI:

* Get real-time alerts on top crypto tokens.
* Use signals to make informed trading decisions within the app.
* Signals are designed for both **beginners** and **experienced users** looking to optimize gains.
