Algorithms

XMRig uses a different way to specify algorithms, compared to other miners.

Algorithm selection splitted to 2 parts:

  • Global base algorithm per miner or proxy instance, algo option. Possible values: cryptonight, cryptonight-lite, cryptonight-heavy.
  • Algorithm variant specified separately for each pool, variant option.

Possible variants for cryptonight:

  • 0 Original cryptonight.
  • 1 cryptonight variant 1, also known as cryptonight v7 or monero7.
  • "xtl" Stellite coin variant.

Possible variants for cryptonight-lite:

  • 0 Original cryptonight-lite.
  • 1 cryptonight-lite variant 1, also known as cryptonight-lite v7 or aeon7.
  • "ipbc" IPBC coin variant.

For cryptonight-heavy currently no variants.

Cheatsheet

You mine Sumokoin or Haven Protocol? Your algorithm is cryptonight-heavy no variant option need.

You mine Aeon, TurtleCoin or IPBC? Your base algorithm is cryptonight-lite:

Variants:

  • Aeon: -1 autodetect. 0 right now, 1 after fork.
  • TurtleCoin: 1.
  • IPBC: "ipbc".

In all other cases base algorithm is cryptonight.

Mining algorithm negotiation

If your pool support mining algorithm negotiation miner will choice proper variant automaticaly and if you choice wrong base algorithm you will see error message.

Pools with mining algorithm negotiation support.
