We have to take in consideration that it’s also possible to mine ‘test’ ether on your own private network to experiment with smart contracts or decentralized applications. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Mining on a test network doesn’t require any fancy hardware, just a home computer with geth or another client installed. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

But, minting fake ether obviously isn’t going to be very lucrative. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

If you’re interested in mining ‘real’ ether, you need to install mining software. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

That’s why miners ‘pool’ together their computational power into ‘mining pools’, to improve their chances of solving the cryptographic puzzles and earning ether.

Then, they split the profits proportional to how much power each miner contributed.

Each pool might not be around forever, and the computational power of each pool is constantly changing, so there are a number of factors that go into deciding which to join. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

So with this mining pool: One point to keep in mind is that mining pools have different payout structures.

Mining pools will have some sort of a signup process on the website so that miners can connect to the pool and begin mining.

The tools that you pick up today might be obsolete next year, and some mining pools might fall away while others emerge, so it’s worth keeping aware of industry shifts. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
