XMRig
XMRig is high performance Monero (XMR) CPU miner, with the official full Windows support. Originally based on cpuminer-multi with heavy optimizations/rewrites and removing a lot of legacy code, since version 1.0.0 complete rewritten from scratch on C++.

Usage
Basic example
xmrig.exe -o pool.minemonero.pro:5555 -u YOUR_WALLET -p x -k
Failover
xmrig.exe -o pool.minemonero.pro:5555 -u YOUR_WALLET1 -p x -k -o pool.supportxmr.com:5555 -u YOUR_WALLET2 -p x -k
For failover you can add multiple pools, maximum count not limited.
Options
-a, --algo=ALGO cryptonight (default) or cryptonight-lite
-o, --url=URL URL of mining server
-O, --userpass=U:P username:password pair for mining server
-u, --user=USERNAME username for mining server
-p, --pass=PASSWORD password for mining server
-t, --threads=N number of miner threads
-v, --av=N algorithm variation, 0 auto select
-k, --keepalive send keepalived for prevent timeout (need pool support)
-r, --retries=N number of times to retry before switch to backup server (default: 5)
-R, --retry-pause=N time to pause between retries (default: 5)
--cpu-affinity set process affinity to CPU core(s), mask 0x3 for cores 0 and 1
--cpu-priority set process priority (0 idle, 2 normal to 5 highest)
--no-huge-pages disable huge pages support
--no-color disable colored output
--donate-level=N donate level, default 5% (5 minutes in 100 minutes)
--user-agent set custom user-agent string for pool
-B, --background run the miner in the background
-c, --config=FILE load a JSON-format configuration file
-l, --log-file=FILE log all output to a file
--max-cpu-usage=N maximum CPU usage for automatic threads mode (default 75)
--safe safe adjust threads and av settings for current CPU
--nicehash enable nicehash support
--print-time=N print hashrate report every N seconds
-h, --help display this help and exit
-V, --version output version information and exit
Also you can use configuration via config file, default config.json. You can load multiple config files and combine it with command line options.
Algorithm variations
Since version 0.8.0.
--av=1
For CPUs with hardware AES.--av=2
Lower power mode (double hash) of1
.--av=3
Software AES implementation.--av=4
Lower power mode (double hash) of3
.
Common Issues
HUGE PAGES unavailable
- Run XMRig as Administrator.
- Since version 0.8.0 XMRig automatically enable SeLockMemoryPrivilege for current user, but reboot or sign out still required. Manual instruction.
Other information
- No HTTP support, only stratum protocol support.
- No TLS support.
- Default donation 5% (5 minutes in 100 minutes) can be reduced to 1% via command line option
--donate-level

CPU mining performance
- i7-6700 - 290+ H/s (4 threads, cpu affinity 0xAA)
- Dual E5620 - 377 H/s (12 threads, cpu affinity 0xEEEE)
Please note performance is highly dependent on system load. The numbers above are obtained on an idle system. Tasks heavily using a processor cache, such as video playback, can greatly degrade hashrate. Optimal number of threads depends on the size of the L3 cache of a processor, 1 thread requires 2 MB of cache.
Maximum performance checklist
- Idle operating system.
- Do not exceed optimal thread count.
- Use modern CPUs with AES-NI instructuon set.
- Try setup optimal cpu affinity.
- Enable fast memory (Large/Huge pages).
