Steem is a place for everyone to be rewarded for their contributions to the network and we all have our part to play in pushing the project forward. Some of are the content creators posting fun content for the rest to enjoy, others are content curators upvoting content and supporting their favourite authors and others are opinionated and comment all over articles they enjoy.
This is an active way of earning steem and of course the various scot tokens we now have available but that's not the only way. You can also earn tokens passively simply by mining them and it's not as technical or crazy as you may think.
No, you don't need to buy a bunch of graphics cards or set up a node, with SCOT tokens you can actually buy mining tokens that when staked will earn you tokens over time. It's probably the simplest way to mine cryptocurrency on the internet right now.
All you need to do is head over to Steem Engine and click on the market. Mining tokens will either be marked with M or MM. An easier way would be to search for the word "Miner" and it should show you all the tokens available.
Now all you need to do is pick the miner you want to earn tokens for, for Example PAL miner for PAL tokens and stake your coins. Each week your miner coin will bring you a little return for holding the miner coin. You return will vary depending on the number of miner coins staked by others and how many you currently have staked as well as the Miner allocation pool for that specific token
