As reported from its official website, it is no longer profitable to mine Dash from conventional hardware: mining from your own computer or CPU implies an expense greater than the possible benefit.
Therefore, this guide invites you to set up at once a plan to mine Dash like a pro:
Before mining DASH, download the wallet.
Before starting any Dash mining claim, you will need a wallet to store this cryptocurrency. The best thing is that Dash has his own wallet on the official page, in the "Get Dash" section.

Once you find one that suits your needs, you must download the Dash mining software that this community provides, and configure your computer according to the characteristics of each software.

The most profitable option in the short and medium term to mine Dash is through cloud mining. That is, contracting mining power (hash / second) to companies that keep ASICS cards on 24 hours a day and every day of the year.
Currently, cloud Dash mining is the easiest way to start mining Dash, and you only have to pay an annual fee.
Two of the most important companies in cloud mining are:
Genesis Mining (headquartered in Iceland).
HashFlare.io
Both have different plans in which you pay depending on the encoding and hash speed.
It works in 3 essential steps:
-You must hire hash / second power.
-The company registers you as a contractor, and you are part of its mining community.
-You will receive daily payments depending on the general power. Each Dash unit is divided into the number of miners.
