# Mining

Contrary to a lot of cryptos you don't need GPUs or ASICs to mine LTO. Similar to many PoS tokens the most important prerequisite is a computer with a good bandwidth connection, e.g., a VPS, your home server, or even your PC. You will find lots of tutorials on setting up a node in our public node section:

[Public node](/node/public-node.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Since setting up a node and running it for mining LTO can open up its own set of questions we further summed up best practices for you to explore on the following pages:

{% content-ref url="/pages/-LqZXVWK2CzGnHRrpLZ-" %}
[Setup your node wallets](/tutorials/mining/prepare-setup-your-wallet.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="/pages/-Mb5Y-sq3UXv1ig8\_7Dp" %}
[Node management](/tutorials/mining/node-management.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Lastly, should you at some point decide you want to become an official community node and offer your node up for staking to everybody in the community here is a roadmap for you to follow:

[Public community nodes](/tutorials/mining/public-community-nodes.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Should you need more advice on topics not covered in our tutorial feel free to ask in the [LTO tech chat](https://t.me/LTOtech)!
