'''Seedminer''' is a process used to find a 3DS family system's <code>movable.sed</code> (the system-unique encryption key) and is used in the majority of CFW installation methods on the latest firmware. At present, there are three main ways to derive <code>movable.sed</code>: the automated '''BFM (Bruteforce Movable)''' service, '''manual mining''', and '''Mii mining'''.

If you're interested, a presentation on Seedminer's technical aspects can be found [https://zoogie.github.io/web/34%E2%85%95c3 here].

All systems that can access the HOME Menu and either add a friend or create Miis can use Seedminer, but which methods are available will depend on your system's ability to add friends and whether you can access BFM.<br>

|-|Can add friends=

If you can add friends, you should ~~follow~~ [[~~3dsguide~~:~~seedminer~~|~~the Seedminer page~~]] ~~to use Bruteforce Movable~~ to automatically mine your movable.sed.

If you can add friends, you should use [[3DS:Seedminer/BFM|Bruteforce Movable]] to automatically mine your movable.sed.

* If BFM is '''inaccessible''' (the website is down), check [[#Bruteforce_movable_connectivity_and_uptime|this section.]] for more information.

===Automation and optimization===

<code>movable.sed</code> is within bruteforcing territory with modern dedicated graphics cards; with optimizations and volunteers, the process can be entirely automated with mining times of 5 minutes or less. [[https://seedminer.hacks.guide Bruteforce Movable]] is a working implementation of this, and is the ~~method~~ used ~~for Seedminer in our guide~~.

[https://seedminer.hacks.guide Bruteforce Movable] is a working implementation of this, and is one of the current methods used above.

==How to mine for others on BFM==

If you want to volunteer some of your GPU power for mining others' movables, go to the Seedminer website and read the "Mine for BruteforceMovable" header for ~~isntructions.~~

If you want to volunteer some of your GPU power for mining others' movables, go to the [https://seedminer.hacks.guide/ Seedminer website] and read the "Mine for BruteforceMovable" header for instructions.

~~==Limitations==~~

~~===System issues===~~

~~If your system is altered in certain ways, you will be unable to follow one or more of the Seedminer methods. Some examples:~~

*If your console has no Friend Code or is banned, you will need to do Mii Mining.

*If your system is unable to use Wi-Fi, you will need a second, already-hacked 3DS to follow Manual Mining. If you do not have this, you will need to do Mii Mining.

== Limitations ==

==Consoles made in 2011==

=== Consoles made in 2011 ===

If your console is a launch model Old 3DS (made in 2011), its <code>movable.sed</code> cannot be derived through Seedminer. Therefore, these consoles '''cannot use any Seedminer method'''.

Any system that has received a system transfer from a launch model will also be unminable, but will become minable again after a system format. If your console appears to be impossible to mine, either do a system format first or look into an alternate exploit path.

For alternate paths, [[~~3dsguide~~:~~installing-boot9strap-~~(kartdlphax)|kartdlphax]] and [[3dsguide:ntrboot|ntrboot]] are both viable options, but if you cannot do either of these without significant extra effort, you should see if you have the resources needed for [[3DS:Alternate_Exploits|one of these paths.]]

For alternate paths, [[3DS:Alternate Exploits/Preparing menuhax67 (kartdlphax)|kartdlphax]] and [[3dsguide:ntrboot|ntrboot]] are both viable options, but if you cannot do either of these without significant extra effort, you should see if you have the resources needed for [[3DS:Alternate_Exploits|one of these paths.]]

===BFM connectivity and uptime===

Although BFM is generally very stable, it requires your computer to be able to connect to either https://seedminer.hacks.guide or https://bfm.nintendohomebrew.com. If BFM is down, your connection is too unstable/slow, or an internet block is disabling access to both of these websites, then [[Get_support|join our Discord server]] for help.
