I just earned 17.88 Steem Power thanks to @cryptos easy to follow guide - Let's Build an Army!
Ok, sorry for starting with a mysterious "click-bait" title. If I led with what this guide was actually about, I think I would have scared my intended audience away. This is a post about mining. If that sounds scary, please don't leave yet. Hear me out.

A few days ago I came across this guide from @cryptos. It was titled <a href="https://steemit.com/mining/@cryptos/how-to-easily-mine-with-your-computer-and-get-more-steem-a-guide-for-people-not-into-crypto-currencies">_How to Easily Mine With Your Computer and Get More Steem, A Guide for People Not Into Crypto Currencies_</a>. I decided to try it out. It was **very** easy to setup! (Windows PCs only though.)

A few days ago, I setup the miner on my basement computer, and left it to run. I pretty much forgot about it. Then, a few hours ago, I saw a notification in my Steemit wallet. What could that possibly be, I thought. Why would I be receiving a notification about something in my wallet?

"_Receive 17.880 STEEM POWER from blocktrades_" it says. 

At first I was trying to figure out why in the world @blocktrades would have randomly sent me 17.88 SP, but then I remembered - I had my miner running! It was configured to send the BTC it earned to my Steem Power wallet, which is run through BlockTrades. After just a couple days of letting the little guy run, I have already earned 17.88 SP!

**I have to tell more people about this!** - I thought. **This could be really big!**

Why is this such a big deal? Other than essentially earning free SP (which is nice), this is putting **buy pressure** on STEEM. The miner collects other coins (like Zcash), trades them in for BTC, then uses the BTC to buy Steem Power!

With the computer in my basement, I am currently earning about $3-4 worth of Steem Power per day. If 100 more people did this, it would be an additional $300-$400 worth of STEEM being purchased by the community **each day**! The more people in the community that are doing this, the more buy pressure we will put on STEEM!

Even if you have never tried mining before, it is **very easy** to setup. Also, if you find @cryptos guide helpful, please remember to upvote his post as well!
