XMRig

⚠️ Monero changed PoW algorithm on October 18, all miners and proxy should be updated to v2.8+ ⚠️

Github All Releases GitHub release GitHub Release Date GitHub license GitHub stars GitHub forks

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

Also you can use configuration via config file, default name config.json. Some options available only via config file: autosave, hw-aes. watch option currently not implemented in miners only in proxy.

Algorithm variations

  • av option used for automatic and simple threads mode (when you specify only threads count).
  • For advanced threads mode each thread configured individually and av option not used.
av Hashes per round Hardware AES
1 1 (Single) yes
2 2 (Double) yes
3 1 (Single) no
4 2 (Double) no
5 3 (Triple) yes
6 4 (Quard) yes
7 5 (Penta) yes
8 3 (Triple) no
9 4 (Quard) no
10 5 (Penta) no

Common Issues

HUGE PAGES unavailable

  • Run XMRig as Administrator.
  • Since version 0.8.0 XMRig automatically enables SeLockMemoryPrivilege for current user, but reboot or sign out still required. Manual instruction.

Other information

  • No HTTP support, only stratum protocol support.
  • Default donation 5% (5 minutes in 100 minutes) can be reduced to 1% via option donate-level.

CPU mining performance

  • Intel i7-7700 - 307 H/s (4 threads)
  • AMD Ryzen 7 1700X - 560 H/s (8 threads)

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 instruction set.
  • Try setup optimal cpu affinity.
  • Enable fast memory (Large/Huge pages).
