Hi Kevin, thanks for your note, I think we were just thrown off by the word "mining" and wondered if you were in the wrong place :) Do you want to go next? If so Sean will designate you a spot in the queue...
To contribute, I'd suggest reading a sample of a few reports from people who have gone earlier, for where to find the software and possible steps you can take to contribute with good opsec. https://github.com/ZcashFoundation/powersoftau-attestations You can get the software to run from this github repository: https://github.com/ebfull/powersoftau/ though others have made mirrors and dockerfiles etc you could use too.
