I'm new in bitcoin mining. I would wish to mining to make some profit. I have just talked to someone and he has told me I can partner with him to use his miner. I have some bitcoins ready with me and before I get started I want to know how I will configure wallet to his miner. What should I share with him and lastly how will I know that it is configured? I'm trying to avoid being conned

2What you have described is almost certainly a scam, the likes of which has been reported here many times before. Wallets DO NOT need to be 'configured for mining'; that is not how mining works at all. DO NOT share wallet id, login, private keys, mnemonic seed, etc with him. You will lose your bitcoins. – chytrik May 07 '18 at 19:40

A guy ... told me that I can mine for bitcoin ... Within half an hour my wallet was empty.
I've been asked to share wallet credentials to participate in mining. Is that a scam?
I've been approached ... claiming that they would be able to increase my bitcoin by linking my wallet to their miner.
