Hello. I am a newbie.  
I am running windows 10, 4 rx580 gpus all running good with 1.75-1.80 gps each.  
I just wanna ask few questions:

1. My miner is Grin Gold Miner 2.9 downloaded from [grinmint.com](http://grinmint.com). How would I know that I am mining cuckaroo29 and cukatoo31?
2. Where do I get the wallet?
3. I don’t know what to upgrade to be not affected by a hard fork. I tried to download one in the bulletin in this site, and I am using windows - I don’t see any apps to run (heheh). Will somebody send me link on “how-to”.

Hope somebody here will help me before the hard fork. Thanks!

1. use bminer [https://www.bminer.me/releases/](https://www.bminer.me/releases/)  
You are mining c29 or c31 by choosing the right file (mine\_grin29.bat or mine\_grin31.bat)  
For the pool I use [https://mwgrinpool.com/](https://mwgrinpool.com/)  
Read FAQ to properly set your miner.

2. use Niffler [https://github.com/grinfans/niffler/releases/tag/v0.4.0](https://github.com/grinfans/niffler/releases/tag/v0.4.0)  
For the transactions use Hedwig

3. you don´t have to upgrade anything. All the Grin you are mining is 2.0 and if you are going to use latest Niffler wallet it would be sinced.
