Before starting
Confirm that the receiving address and network have not changed, cooling is unobstructed, and no unexpected software update is pending.
Practical note: Close sensitive sessions and unnecessary GPU- or CPU-intensive applications.
During operation
Observe actual accepted work, not just the local speed display. Watch for reconnect loops, rising rejection rates, throttling, or driver resets.
Practical note: Check that the worker name shown in the service matches the intended computer.
When stopping
Exit the miner normally, confirm its processes close, and allow fans to return to idle. Review logs before deleting them after an error.
Practical note: Recheck any security exception after uninstalling or moving the application.
