-## Mining
+# Mining
 An unoptimized mining CPU backend is available through the compile-time flag ``-d:ethash_mining``.
 It requires compilation through the C++ backend.
 
-## Optimizations
+# Optimizations
 For maximum speed, compile Ethash with `-d:release -d:march_native -d:openmp`.
-This will compile Ethash in Nim release mode, with all supported CPU extensions (AVX2 especially) and with OpenMP multiprocessing
-On MacOS, OpenMP requires installing GCC-7. It can be done through homebrew.
