1 make miner forcibly use new v7 algorithm (Monero / AEON v7 / Stellite).ģ.

0 make miner forcibly use original / old CryptoNight algorithm.

-1 or missing field, the miner auto detects PoW from block version.

Algorithm PoW Variant: -variant -1 or 0 or 1 Algorithm: -a, -algo=ALGO cryptonight (default) or cryptonight-lite or cryptonight-heavyĢ. To illustrate we’ve chosen Monero as a currency and mine xmr as a pool. There are only 4 main settings which you need to edit to start mining. We hope you’ve chosen the wallet address and pool to mine.

In this guide we are not going to get into this since we already explained it here.Īlright! Let’s see how to configure and start mining with XMRig.

Next API which is not so important but still useful in checking mining hashrates, results and pool connection details.

It determines where you are mining and to which wallet address you should get paid. This is most important as this is where you’ll need to configure the pool and wallet address.

Next the blue highlight is pool section.

Additionally there are some other settings that can be configured to increase the mining efficiency. Also here you can edit donation level which by default xmrig donates 5% to the developers.

The first Red highlight is general settings where you need to choose the algorithm that you’d like to mine.

"worker-id": null // custom worker-id for API "access-token": null, // access token for API "nicehash": false, // enable nicehash/xmrig-proxy support "keepalive": true, // send keepalived for prevent timeout (need pool support)

"safe": false, // true to safe adjust threads and av settings for current CPU "retry-pause": 5, // time to pause between retries "retries": 5, // number of times to retry before switch to backup server "print-time": 60, // print hashrate report every N seconds "max-cpu-usage": 75, // maximum CPU usage for automatic mode, usually limiting factor is CPU cache not this option. "log-file": null, // log all output to a file, example: "c:/some/path/xmrig.log" "donate-level": 5, // donate level, minimum 1% "cpu-priority": null, // set process priority (0 idle, 2 normal to 5 highest) "cpu-affinity": null, // set process affinity to CPU core(s), mask "0x3" for cores 0 and 1 "colors": true, // false to disable colored output "background": false, // true to run the miner in the background "av": 0, // algorithm variation, 0 auto select "algo": "cryptonight", // cryptonight (default) or cryptonight-lite For Linux we’ll make a separate guide soon. Here in this post we’ll show you how to setup, configure and use XMRig CryptoNight miner for CPU, NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. So we decided to make a beginners guide on XMRig which is easy to setup and a much more flexible miner compared to other alternatives. Especially with all these algorithm changes which took place recently they can’t get right with the algorithm for any given coin. From that guide what we came to know is that most users finding difficulty in configuring the miner. In the past we’ve made a beginners guide on XMR STAK. Both supports mining using CPU, NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. Two of the most popular mining software’s available to mine CryptoNight algorithm are xmr stak and XMRig. Let’s hope it stays like this in the future so users of all kind can participate in Cryptocurrency mining. That is even users with old computer hardware can start mining (anyone with a desktop or laptop that has atleast 2GHz+ processor and 2GB of RAM) and earn a decent reward. This PoW algorithm that is used on Monero, Bytecoin, Electroneum, etc provides egalitarian terms for all miners. The only worthwhile algorithm that can be mined using CPU is CryptoNight and its variant. When GPU mining is about to become obsolete on algorithms like Equihash ( Equihash ASIC) CryptoNight is still being the savior of CPU mining.
