How do I get some monero? I've only ever bought crypto with the consumer-level apps and know nothing about mining. (Original article isn't loading, in case it has any info in there)
They pay the Monero to your Monero wallet, and then it's up to you to decide how to use it. Whether or not mining is financially viable (e.g., electricity cost) depends on a few things. You can use a calculator/website like whattomine.com, cryptocompare.com, coinwarz.com, minerstat.com, etc. to get a rough idea of your potential mining profitability.
