description: Using Pantheon for PoW CPU mining
<!--- END of page meta data -->
# Mining
Start Pantheon with the following options to enable CPU mining:
```bash
pantheon --miner-enabled --miner-coinbase <account>
```
Where `<account>` is the account to which mining rewards are to be paid. For example, `fe3b557e8fb62b89f4916b721be55ceb828dbd73`.
JSON-RPC API methods for mining are:
* [`miner_start`](../Reference/Pantheon-API-Methods.md#miner_start) to start mining.
* [`miner_stop`](../Reference/Pantheon-API-Methods.md#miner_stop) to stop mining.
* [`eth_mining`](../Reference/Pantheon-API-Methods.md#eth_mining) to determine whether the client is actively mining new blocks.
* [`eth_hashrate`](../Reference/Pantheon-API-Methods.md#eth_hashrate) to get the number of hashes per second with which the node is mining.
