'''Mii Mining''' is the name for one of two processes that allows you to find a console's <code>movable.sed</code> without the help of an outside resource. This method should only be used if both BFM and Manual Mining are confirmed unable to work, as it is significantly more time-consuming.

===Section I - Prep Work===

In this section, you will obtain ~~the~~ console files needed ~~to mine and set up Seedminer~~.

In this section, you will set up Seedminer and obtain your console's files that are needed for mining.

#Extract the contents of the Seedminer <code>.zip</code> and move the folder inside it that matches your OS anywhere on your PC - this Seedminer folder will be where multiple other files are placed

#~~While holding~~ SHIFT, right-click anywhere in the empty space ~~of the Seedminer folder~~, then click the option that opens a terminal, PowerShell, or Command Prompt

#In the Seedminer folder, hold SHIFT and right-click anywhere in the folder's empty space, then click the option that opens a terminal, PowerShell, or Command Prompt

#In the opened window, type <code>py -3 -mpip install pycryptodomex</code> - once it's done installing, keep the window open as you will need it later

#Turn your ~~device~~ on while the SD card is inside it

#Turn your console on while the SD card is inside it

#Open the Mii Maker app

#Tap the '''QR Code/Image Options''' button.

#Tap '''Save Mii as QR Code'''.

#Select any Mii Character (make a new one first if you have ~~none~~), and press '''OK'''.

#Select any Mii Character (make a new one first if you don't have any), and press '''OK'''.

#Turn the ~~device~~ off

#Turn the console off

#Put the ~~target~~ console's SD card into your computer, navigate to the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder on the SD, and copy the name of the 32-character-long folder directly inside

#Put the console's SD card into your computer, navigate to the <code>Nintendo 3DS</code> folder on the SD, and copy the name of the 32-character-long folder directly inside

#*This folder, known as the ID0, is system-specific. Only one should be present - if you see multiple, follow [[3dsguide:troubleshooting#multiple-long-names-in-nintendo-3ds-folder|these instructions.]]

#*Once you have the ID0, paste it into a document to reference later

Line 42:

#*Replace <code><id0></code> with the ID0 you copied into a document

#Once it completes, enter the command <code>py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py mii <model> <year></code>

#*Replace <code><model></code> with the model of your ~~device~~ (<code>new</code> or <code>old</code>)

#*Replace <code><model></code> with the model of your console (<code>new</code> or <code>old</code>)

#*Replace <code><year></code> with the year the 3DS was made (you often find this on the backplate) - leave this empty ~~when~~ you ~~don~~'t ~~know exactly~~, and it will start from the middle

#*Replace <code><year></code> with the year the 3DS was made (you often find this on the backplate) - leave this empty if you aren't sure, and it will start from the middle

#*If this fails with an error of <code>input.bin is invalid size</code>, remake the <code>input.bin</code> using your QR Code

#*If this fails with an error of <code>input.bin is invalid size</code>, remake the <code>input.bin</code> using your QR Code. If it ''still'' fails, open a different browser and remake the <code>input.bin</code> there.

#*The mining process will usually take up to 90 minutes, depending on luck and your GPU's strength

#When it finishes, a file called <code>movable.sed</code> will appear in the Seedminer folder - use this in place of one obtained from BruteforceMovable
