## Usage
2021-02-20 07:28:20 +00:00
The preferred way to configure the miner is the [JSON config file ](https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/config ) as it is more flexible and human friendly. The [command line interface ](https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/command-line-options ) does not cover all features, such as mining profiles for different algorithms. Important options can be changed during runtime without miner restart by editing the config file or executing [API ](https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/api ) calls.

* **[Workers](http://workers.xmrig.info)** helps manage your miners via HTTP API.
