This method requires a reasonably powerful GPU (any dedicated graphics card made in the last few years) and the ability to use a command line. If you don't know what those are or do not have the hardware necessary, you can ask someone to do this for you at [Nintendo Homebrew on Discord](https://discord.gg/MWxPgEp). You will need to have the following information ready:
+ Your Mii QR code, uploaded directly to Discord (do not take a screenshot or a photo of the image, just send the HNI_XXXX.JPG image itself)
+ Your console's ID0 (the name of the 32-character folder directly inside of Nintendo 3DS - see [this troubleshooting section](https://3ds.hacks.guide/troubleshooting#seedminer) if you have multiple)
+ Your console model (e.g. 3DS, 3DS XL, 2DS, New3DS, New3DS XL, New2DS XL)
+ Your console's approximate year of manufacturing (it may be present behind the frontplate or backplate; if you don't know, just guess - it's not super important)
To install boot9strap on your console, we derive your console's unique encryption key. To accomplish this, we use a tool called Seedminer to calculate the data encryption key (movable.sed) for your console.
Because we do not have access to the Friends List, we are deriving the first part of `movable.sed` using a Mii QR code instead of by performing a two-way friend exchange.

If you are on Linux or macOS, replace `py -3` with `python3` in all commands.

### Ce dont vous avez besoin
+ The latest release of [Seedminer](https://github.com/zoogie/seedminer/releases/latest) (the Seedminer .zip)
+ Any 3.x version of [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) installed
+ If you are on Linux, you likely already have Python 3. Check by opening a terminal and entering `python3 -V`. If this returns a version number, it will work for this guide.
In this section, you will set up Seedminer and obtain your console's files that are needed for mining.
1. Extract the contents of the Seedminer `.zip` and move the folder with your operating systeem's name to anywhere on your PC
+ Keep this location handy, as this Seedminer folder will be where multiple other files are placed
1. In the Seedminer folder, hold SHIFT and right-click anywhere in the folder's empty space, then click the option that opens Terminal, PowerShell, or Command Prompt
+ If this command fails with the error `No module named pip`, you must manually install pip. The methods to do this can be found on [this page](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/).
1. Collez votre nom de dossier de 32 lettres dans [un document](/images/screenshots/seedminer/text-document.png) auquel vous pourrez vous référer ultérieurement
+ Ce dossier représente votre "ID0". Prenez note de cela car ce guide y fera référence plus tard
+ N'essayez pas d'entrer manuellement l'ID0, car il est facile de faire une erreur. Assurez-vous que l'ID0 est correctement entré en le copiant et en le collant depuis l'endroit où vous l'avez enregistré dans la section précédente
+ Replace `<model>` with the model of your console (`new` or `old`) - if you aren't sure, only models with the ZL/ZR buttons and C-Stick are "new"
+ Replace `<year>` with the year the 3DS was made (you often find this behind the backplate) - leave this empty if you aren't sure, in which case it will start from the middle
+ The first stage will likely max out at roughly offset 1500, depending on console model
+ If the second stage (after seeing `movable_part2.sed generation success`) gets past offset 100, verify that you input the correct ID0. If your ID0 is correct, you cannot use this method and will have to update to the latest version and see if a non-Seedminer method is available for you [here](alternate-exploits)
+ If you see the message `input.bin is invalid size`, remake the `input.bin` using your QR Code. If it *still* fails, open a different browser and remake the `input.bin` there
+ If you see the message `LFCS has been left blank`, use the opposite console model (e.g. `mii old` instead of `mii new`)
