 ## Configuring the miner
 
-Navigate to your chosen pool's webpage and read their
-documentation. They should mention an address and port for you to
-enter into your miner. For example, `pool.xmr.pt:3333`.
-
-Next, open up the config.json you copied or extracted earlier in your
-favourite text editor. Scroll down to the line that says
-`donate.v2.xmrig.com:3333` and change the text inside the quotes to
-the address of your pool. The line below should contain
-`YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS`. Change that to your actual wallet address.

-After these modifications, your configuration should look something like this:
