-Then you should only follow Sections I and IV (or else you're going to be wasting a lot of time, since any of these files should already have your encryption key embedded). Otherwise, follow the whole guide.
+Then do not follow Section II, as those files should already have your encryption key embedded and you don't need to mine it again.

 === Section I: Installing Pokémon Picross ===
-If you can't install Pokémon Picross, there's no point following the rest of this guide. If Internet access isn't currently set up, you can set up an Internet connection from Safe Mode as the keyboard will still work there (hold Left Shoulder + Right Shoulder + D-Pad Up + A on boot, then follow the prompts).

 If at any point you're prompted to open the keyboard in the eShop, sorry -- there's nothing we can do.
-=== Section II: Mii QR Code ===
+=== Section II: Mii mining ===
+Because you can't enter a friend code due to the broken keyboard, you'll need to get your console's encryption key a different way. We can accomplish this by Mii mining.
-Because you can't enter a friend code due to the broken keyboard, you'll need to get your console's encryption key a different way. We can accomplish this by exporting a Mii QR code.
-# Open the Mii Maker application
-# Tap the "QR Code/Image Options" button
-# Tap "Save Mii as QR Code"
-#* Make sure to select a Mii that was created on this 3DS
-# Tap whatever button it is that lets you save the Mii QR code image to the SD card
-=== Section III: Bruteforcing ===
-Now that you have a Mii QR code, you'll have to force your computer to do a bunch of math to derive the same data that is normally transmitted in a friend exchange.
-{{warning|text=You'll need a reasonably powerful graphics card to do this, or else this may take literal years. If you don't have one, skip this section and ask someone at {{get support}} for assistance. Make sure to provide:
-* Your Mii QR code (from the previous step)
-* Your console model (3DS, 3DSXL, 2DS, New3DS, New3DSXL, or New2DSXL)
-* Your [[3dsguide:seedminer#section-i---prep-work|console's ID0]]}}
-Still here? Great! Get ready for a long ride.
-# If you haven't already, install the [https://www.python.org/downloads/ latest version of Python].
-#* When given the option, you should add Python to PATH. You may need to restart your computer.
-# Download and extract the [http://github.com/zoogie/seedminer/releases/latest latest release of Seedminer].
-# Open a Command Prompt / Terminal window and <code>cd</code> to where you extracted Seedminer.
-#* For example, if everything is in a <code>seedminer</code> folder on your desktop and you're currently at <code>C:\Users\OPERATIONiDROID</code>, you'll want to run <code>cd Desktop/seedminer</code>.
-# Run the command <code>py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py mii <device model> <year of manufacturing></code>.
-#* If you don't know the year of manufacturing, just guess. It just might go faster if you guess correctly.
-# Sit back and relax. This could take several hours, depending on the power of your graphics card.
-#* If you get to offset 2500-ish, you may have entered the wrong device model (or you system transferred at some point, which messes this up). Try again with the other device model.
-# Once the program is done, run <code>py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py id0 <your id0></code>.
-# Run the command <code>py -3 seedminer_launcher3.py gpu</code>.
-# Wait a bit. This shouldn't take any longer than 10 minutes on a decent GPU.
-#* If you get to offset 100, you might have an unminable seed or you may have provided the wrong ID0. It would suck if you had an unminable seed so let's just hope it's not that.
-# If the stars aligned, you should get a <code>movable.sed</code>!
-=== Section IV: PicHaxx ===
+Follow [[3DS:Seedminer/Mii mining|Mii mining]] to extract the <code>movable.sed</code> from your console, but do not continue onto the main guide as it suggests. Come back to this page once you have the movable.
+=== Section III: PicHaxx ===
 Now that you have your <code>movable.sed</code>, continue to [[3DS:Alternate Exploits/Homebrew Launcher (PicHaxx)|Homebrew Launcher (PicHaxx)]].
 If everything went well, you should end up with boot9strap installed and the keyboard / System Settings should work again.
