-# إختيار حقل (تجمّع للتعدين)
+## Wallet
-هُناك العديد من الحقول يمكنك الإختيار منها , قائمه بالحقول المتاحه موجوده بـ [moneropools.com](https://moneropools.com).
-التعدين في حقل كبير قد يعني دفعات أكثر تواتراً. ولكن التعدين في حقل أصغر يساعد في الحفاظ علي لامركزيه الشبكه.
+Before starting, you already need to have a wallet configured and
+working. The pool needs to know your wallet address to be able to send
+payments there. See the [Accepting Monero guide]({{ site.baseurl
+}}/get-started/accepting) for more information.
-# إختيار برنامج تعدين لوحده المعالجه المركزيه (CPU)
+## Profitability
-تماماً كحقول التعدين هُناك العديد من برامج التعدين. يجب عليك إختيار المُناسب للجهاز الذي تريد التعدين عليه. هذا الدليل سيُغطي التعدين عن طريق وحده المعالجه المركزيه فقط, وسنقوم بإستخدام برنامج
-[xmr-stak-cpu](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu). من البدائل برنامج
-[wolf's CPUMiner](https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi) و برنامج
-[sgminer-gm](https://github.com/genesismining/sgminer-gm). إعدادات هذه البرامج تختلف قليلاً ولن يتم تغطيتها في هذا الدليل.
+Before mining, you should decide if it is worth it or not for you. You
+have to decide this for yourself, based on your power costs and the
+hardware that you have available. There are many sites, such as
+[CryptoCompare](https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/xmr)
+that allow you to enter your miner's speed and power draw, and it will
+show you the profit (or loss) per week/month.
-## لأنظمه ويندوز
+## Download Miner
-إذا كنت تستخدم نظام ويندوز يوفر مطور برنامج (xmr-stak-cpu) ملفات التنزيل علي
-[GitHub release page](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu/releases).
+The first step is to download mining software onto your computer.
-حمّل `xmr-stak-cpu-win64.zip` وفك ضغطه في مكان سهل الوصول إليه.
+### Windows
-## لأنظمه التشغيل الأخري
+The XMRig developer provides pre-built binaries for Windows
+users. They are available on the [GitHub release
+page](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest).
-إذا كنت لا تستخدم نظام ويندوز فسيتعين عليك تجميع xmr-stak-cpu بنفسك ولحسن الحظ لأمر ليس بهذه الصعوبه. قبل أن تتمكن من تجميع برنامج التعدين ستحتاج إلى تثبيت بعض المتطلبات الأساسية الخاصة به.
+Scroll down until you see `xmrig-VERSION-msvc-win64.zip`. Download
+this file and extract the archive somewhere memorable, like your desktop.
-توزيعات Debian:
+### Ubuntu Linux
- sudo apt-get install libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev cmake build-essential
+The XMRig developer provides pre-built binaries for Ubuntu Xenial
+Xerus (16.04). They may work on other Ubuntu versions, and on other
+distributions, but this is not guaranteed.
-توزيعات Red Hat:
+These binaries are available on the [GitHub release
+page](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest).
- sudo yum install openssl-devel cmake gcc-c++ libmicrohttpd-devel
+Scroll down until you see `xmrig-VERSION-xenial-x64.tar.gz`. Download
+this file, extract the archive somewhere memorable, like your desktop.
-
+### Other Linux
-بعد ذلك ستحتاج لإستخدام (cmake) لإنشاء ملفات الإنشاء شغل البرنامج وقم بنسخ ملف الإعدادات :
+Users of other Linux distributions can compile XMRig from
+source. Firstly, install the dependencies:
- mkdir build-$(gcc -dumpmachine)
- cd $_
- cmake ../
- make -j$(nproc)
- cp ../config.txt bin/
- cd bin
+```
+# For Debian-based distros
+sudo apt install \
+ build-essential \
+ cmake \
+ git \
+ libhwloc-dev \
+ libssl-dev \
+ libuv1-dev
+```
-لا تحتفل بعد حيث يحتاج برنامج التعدين إلى التهيئة. تشغيل البرنامج الآن يجب أن يعطيك كتلة من النص لنسخها ولصقها:
+Download the XMRig source code:
-
+```
+git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
+cd xmrig
+```
-إفتح `config.txt` وقم *بتبديل* سطرين `"cpu_threads_conf"`بالنص الذي قمت بنسخه, سيبدو كذلك بعدها :
+Configure and compile XMRig:
-
+```
+cmake -Bbuild
+make -Cbuild -j$(nproc)
+```
-إنزل للأسفل في الملف إلي أن تجد سطر يحتوي علي `"pool_address"`. *بدّل* المحتوي بين علامات الإقتباس لعنوان ومنفذ حقل التعدين الذي إخترته سابقاً , ستجد هذه البيانات في موقع حقل التعدين.
+Copy binary and example configuration to your home directory:
-ضع عنوان محفظتك بين علامات الاقتباس في عنوان المحفظة. يمكنك ترك كلمة المرور فارغة ما لم يحدد حقل التعدين خلاف ذلك.
+```
+cp build/xmrig ~/
+cp src/config.json ~/
+```
-بعد ذلك ، يجب أن يبدو ملف الإعدادات الخاص بك كما يلي:
+### macOS Build
-
+Firstly, install XCode and [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
-# تشغيل برنامج التعدين
+Use Homebrew to install dependencies:
-إحفظ ملف *الإعدادات* وشغل برنامج التعدين
+```
+brew install \
+ cmake \
+ hwloc \
+ libmicrohttpd \
+ libuv \
+ openssl
+```
-
+Download XMRig sources:
-بعض الحقول تسمح لك بمتابعه قوه التعدين الخاصه بعنوانك عن طريق لصق عنوانك في موقعهم. يمكنك أيضاً متابعه قوه التعدين الخاصه بك عن طريق ضغط مفتاح `h`
+```
+git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
+cd xmrig
+```
-# ضبط برنامج التعدين
+Configure and compile XMRig:
-ربما تري رسائل مثل :
+```
+cmake -Bbuild -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl
+make -Cbuild -j$(nproc)
+```
- [2017-07-09 12:04:02] : MEMORY ALLOC FAILED: mmap failed
+Copy binary and example configuration to your home directory:
-وهذا يعني أنه يمكنك الحصول على زيادة بنسبة 20٪ من قوه التعدين من خلال تمكين الصفحات الكبيرة.
+```
+cp build/xmrig ~/
+cp src/config.json ~/
+```
-## الصفحات الكبيره علي ليُنكس
+## Selecting a pool
-أولاً إغلق برنامج التعدين ( إذا كان مازال يعمل ), وقم بتشغيل الأمر التالي لتفعيل الصفحات الكبيره وإبدأ برنامج التعدين كـROOT:
+There are lots of pools to choose from. You can find a list at
+[miningpoolstats.stream/monero](https://miningpoolstats.stream/monero).
- sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=128
- sudo ./xmr-stak-cpu
+Choosing a larger pool means that you will see more frequent (but
+smaller) payouts, but choosing a smaller pools helps keep the network
+decentralised. [Miners will not lose any revenue by mining on a
+smaller pool](https://redd.it/g6uh2l).
-## الصفحات الكبيره علي ويندوز
+## Configuring the miner
-مأخوذ من `config.txt`:
+Navigate to your chosen pool's webpage and read their
+documentation. They should mention an address and port for you to
+enter into your miner. For example, `pool.xmr.pt:3333`.
->إفتراضياً سنحاول تخصيص الصفحات الكبيره ويعني ذلك أنك تحتاج الشتغيل بصلاحيات المدير علي ويندوز
-يجب أن تُعدل سياسات المجموعات علي نظامك لتمكين الصفحات الكبيره. وهذه هي الخطوات
-1. في القائمة "ابدأ" ، انقر فوق "تشغيل". في المربع فتح ، اكتب gpedit.msc.
-2. في وحده تحكم مُحرر سياسات المجموعات قم بتوسيع إعدادات الحاسوب وبعد ذلك توسيع إعدادات الويندوز
-3. وسّع إعدادات الحمايه وبعد ذلك وسّع إعدادات السياسات المحليه.
-4. حدد مجلد تعيين حقوق المستخدم
-5. سيتم عرض السياسات في نافذه التفاصيل.
-6. في النافذه انقر نقراً مزدوجاً فوق تأمين الصفحات في الذاكرة.
-7. في إعدادات الأمان المحلية - قفل الصفحات في الذاكره ، انقر فوق إضافة مستخدم أو مجموعة.
-8. في مربع حوار إختيار المُستخدمين أو حساب الخدمات أو الجماعات قم بإضافه حساب لتقوم بتشغيل برنامج التعدين عليه
-9. إعادة تشغيل لتثبيت التغييرات
+Next, open up the config.json you copied or extracted earlier in your
+favourite text editor. Scroll down to the line that says
+`donate.v2.xmrig.com:3333` and change the text inside the quotes to
+the address of your pool. The line below should contain
+`YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS`. Change that to your actual wallet address.
+
+After these modifications, your configuration should look something like this:
+
+```
+{
+ // [...]
+ "pools": [
+ {
+ "url": "pool.xmr.pt:3333",
+ "user": "43YjW8SZov..."
+ }
+ ],
+ // [...]
+}
+```
+
+## Starting the miner
+
+Windows users can double click on xmrig.exe. Users of other operating
+systems should `cd` into the directory that contains XMRig and then
+type `./xmrig` and press return.
+
+If you see green messages saying that shares have been accepted,
+congratulations, everything is working!
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Anti-virus keeps removing XMRig
+
+Some anti-viruses flag XMRig as malware because it is often deployed
+to infected computers to mine without the owner's consent. As it is
+your computer and you are configuring the miner to mine for you, it is
+safe to add XMRig to your anti-virus whitelist.
+
+### Cannot read/set MSR
+
+On some CPUs, XMRig tries to increase performance by disabling certain
+features like your CPU's instruction prefetcher. These operations
+require root/administrator, so try right clicking xmrig.exe and
+running it as administrator, or running `sudo ./xmrig` on other
+systems.
+
+### Algo not known
+
+Find the line in config.json that says `algo: null` and change it to
+`algo: "rx/0"`. By default, XMRig expects the pool to tell it which
+hashing algorithm to use.
+
+### Huge Pages 0%
+
+#### Allowing large pages on Windows
+
+Taken from [the MSDN](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/enable-the-lock-pages-in-memory-option-windows?view=sql-server-ver15):
+
+>1. On the Start menu, click Run. In the Open box, type gpedit.msc.
+2. On the Local Group Policy Editor console, expand Computer Configuration, and then expand Windows Settings.
+3. Expand Security Settings, and then expand Local Policies.
+4. Select the User Rights Assignment folder.
+5. The policies will be displayed in the details pane.
+6. In the pane, double-click Lock pages in memory.
+7. In the Local Security Setting – Lock pages in memory dialog box, click Add User or Group.
+8. In the Select Users, Service Accounts, or Groups dialog box, add an account that you will run the miner on
+9. Reboot for change to take effect.
+
+You may also need to launch the miner as administrator.
+
+#### Allowing large pages on Linux
+
+Firstly stop the miner (if it's running), run the following commands to enable
+large pages and then start the miner as root:
+
+ sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=1168
+ sudo ./xmrig
+
+You may have to increase 1168 depending on how many NUMA nodes your
+CPU(s) have.
+
+#### Allowing large pages on macOS
+
+Huge pages are not supported on macOS.
+
+### Balance Not Increasing
+
+Most pools are PPLNS pools,
+which means that you only get paid when a miner on the pool finds a
+block. If the pool you are mining on is small, this can take a few
+days to weeks.
+
+Additionally, any blocks found must mature before they can be paid
+out. This takes 60 blocks (approx. 2 hours).
+
+## Getting Help
+
+An active Monero mining community on Reddit is
+[/r/MoneroSupport](https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroSupport/). You can
+also join [#monero-pools on
+freenode](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channel=#monero-pools).
+
+## Going Futher
+
+* Consider using a subaddress just for mining, to prevent your address
+ being linked to different services.
+* [Consider using Tor to connect to the
+ pool](https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/tor) (or to a hidden service pool
+ like HashVault, RespectXMR and MoneroOcean). This hides mining
+ activity from your ISP, and prevents the pool from knowing who you
+ are.

-Just like pools, there are a lot of miners to choose from. The one that you
-should pick depends on the hardware you want to mine on. This guide will only
-use a CPU miner, and will be using
-[xmr-stak-cpu](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu). Alternatives include
-[wolf's CPUMiner](https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi) and
-[sgminer-gm](https://github.com/genesismining/sgminer-gm). However, their

+## Wallet
+
+Before starting, you already need to have a wallet configured and
+working. The pool needs to know your wallet address to be able to send
+payments there. See the [Accepting Monero guide]({{ site.baseurl
+}}/get-started/accepting) for more information.
+
+## Profitability
+
+Before mining, you should decide if it is worth it or not for you. You
+have to decide this for yourself, based on your power costs and the
+hardware that you have available. There are many sites, such as
+[CryptoCompare](https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/xmr)
+that allow you to enter your miner's speed and power draw, and it will
+show you the profit (or loss) per week/month.
+
+## Download Miner
+
+The first step is to download mining software onto your computer.
+
+### Windows
+
+The XMRig developer provides pre-built binaries for Windows
+users. They are available on the [GitHub release
+page](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest).
+
+Scroll down until you see `xmrig-VERSION-msvc-win64.zip`. Download
+this file and extract the archive somewhere memorable, like your desktop.
+
+### Ubuntu Linux
+
+The XMRig developer provides pre-built binaries for Ubuntu Xenial
+Xerus (16.04). They may work on other Ubuntu versions, and on other
+distributions, but this is not guaranteed.
+
+These binaries are available on the [GitHub release
+page](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest).
+
+Scroll down until you see `xmrig-VERSION-xenial-x64.tar.gz`. Download
+this file, extract the archive somewhere memorable, like your desktop.
+
+### Other Linux
+
+Users of other Linux distributions can compile XMRig from
+source. Firstly, install the dependencies:
+
+```
+# For Debian-based distros
+sudo apt install \
+ build-essential \
+ cmake \
+ git \
+ libhwloc-dev \
+ libssl-dev \
+ libuv1-dev
+```
+
+Download the XMRig source code:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
+cd xmrig
+```
+
+Configure and compile XMRig:
+
+```
+cmake -Bbuild
+make -Cbuild -j$(nproc)
+```
+
+Copy binary and example configuration to your home directory:
+
+```
+cp build/xmrig ~/
+cp src/config.json ~/
+```
+
+### macOS Build
+
+Firstly, install XCode and [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
+
+Use Homebrew to install dependencies:
+
+```
+brew install \
+ cmake \
+ hwloc \
+ libmicrohttpd \
+ libuv \
+ openssl
+```
+
+Download XMRig sources:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
+cd xmrig
+```
+
+Configure and compile XMRig:
+
+```
+cmake -Bbuild -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl
+make -Cbuild -j$(nproc)
+```
+
+Copy binary and example configuration to your home directory:
+
+```
+cp build/xmrig ~/
+cp src/config.json ~/
+```
+
## Selecting a pool
-There are many pools to choose from, a list is available at
-[moneropools.com](https://moneropools.com). Mining on a larger pool could mean
-more frequent payouts, but mining on a smaller pool helps to keep the network
-decentralized.
+There are lots of pools to choose from. You can find a list at
+[miningpoolstats.stream/monero](https://miningpoolstats.stream/monero).
-## Selecting a CPU miner
+Choosing a larger pool means that you will see more frequent (but
+smaller) payouts, but choosing a smaller pools helps keep the network
+decentralised. [Miners will not lose any revenue by mining on a
+smaller pool](https://redd.it/g6uh2l).
-Just like pools, there are a lot of miners to choose from. The one that you
-should pick depends on the hardware you want to mine on. This guide will only
-use a CPU miner, and will be using
-[xmr-stak-cpu](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu).
-Alternatives include
-[xmrig](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig) and
-[sgminer-gm](https://github.com/genesismining/sgminer-gm).
-However, their configuration is slightly different and will not be covered in this guide.
+## Configuring the miner
-### For Windows Systems
+Navigate to your chosen pool's webpage and read their
+documentation. They should mention an address and port for you to
+enter into your miner. For example, `pool.xmr.pt:3333`.
-If you are using a Windows system, the developer of xmr-stak-cpu provides
-binaries to download on the
-[GitHub release page](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu/releases).
+Next, open up the config.json you copied or extracted earlier in your
+favourite text editor. Scroll down to the line that says
+`donate.v2.xmrig.com:3333` and change the text inside the quotes to
+the address of your pool. The line below should contain
+`YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS`. Change that to your actual wallet address.
-Download `xmr-stak-cpu-win64.zip` and extract it somewhere you'll be able to
-find it again.
+After these modifications, your configuration should look something like this:
-### For Other Operating Systems
+```
+{
+ // [...]
+ "pools": [
+ {
+ "url": "pool.xmr.pt:3333",
+ "user": "43YjW8SZov..."
+ }
+ ],
+ // [...]
+}
+```
-If you're not using Windows, you will have to compile xmr-stak-cpu for yourself,
-luckily this isn't as hard as it sounds. Before you can compile the miner, you
-will need to install some of its prerequisites.
+## Starting the miner
-For Debian-based distros:
+Windows users can double click on xmrig.exe. Users of other operating
+systems should `cd` into the directory that contains XMRig and then
+type `./xmrig` and press return.
- sudo apt-get install libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev cmake build-essential
+If you see green messages saying that shares have been accepted,
+congratulations, everything is working!
-For Red Hat based distros:
+## Troubleshooting
- sudo yum install openssl-devel cmake gcc-c++ libmicrohttpd-devel
+### Anti-virus keeps removing XMRig
-
+Some anti-viruses flag XMRig as malware because it is often deployed
+to infected computers to mine without the owner's consent. As it is
+your computer and you are configuring the miner to mine for you, it is
+safe to add XMRig to your anti-virus whitelist.
-Following this, you just need to use cmake to generate the build files, run
-make and copy the config file:
+### Cannot read/set MSR
- mkdir build-$(gcc -dumpmachine)
- cd $_
- cmake ../
- make -j$(nproc)
- cp ../config.txt bin/
- cd bin
+On some CPUs, XMRig tries to increase performance by disabling certain
+features like your CPU's instruction prefetcher. These operations
+require root/administrator, so try right clicking xmrig.exe and
+running it as administrator, or running `sudo ./xmrig` on other
+systems.
-Don't celebrate just yet, as the miner needs to be configured. Running the miner
-now should give you a block of text to copy and paste:
+### Algo not known
-
+Find the line in config.json that says `algo: null` and change it to
+`algo: "rx/0"`. By default, XMRig expects the pool to tell it which
+hashing algorithm to use.
-Open `config.txt` and *replace* the two `"cpu_threads_conf"` lines with the text
-you just copied. It should look something like this afterwards:
+### Huge Pages 0%
-
+#### Allowing large pages on Windows
-Scroll down in the file until you see the lines containing `"pool_address"`.
-*Replace* the contents of the second set of quotes with the address and port of
-the pool you chose earlier. You can find this information on the pool's website.
+Taken from [the MSDN](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/enable-the-lock-pages-in-memory-option-windows?view=sql-server-ver15):
-Put your wallet address between the quotes on the wallet address. You may leave
-the password blank unless the pool specifies otherwise.
-
-After this, your config should look something like this:
-
-
-
-## Running the miner
-
-**Save the config** file and run the miner!
-
-
-
-Some pools allow you to monitor your hashrate by pasting your address into their
-website. You can also monitor your hashrate by pressing the `h` key.
-
-## Tuning the miner
-
-You might see nasty messages like this:
-
- [2017-07-09 12:04:02] : MEMORY ALLOC FAILED: mmap failed
-
-This means that you can get around a 20% hashrate boost by enabling large pages.
-
-### Large pages on Linux
-
-Firstly stop the miner (if it's running), run the following commands to enable
-large pages and then start the miner as root:

+
+#### Allowing large pages on macOS
+
+Huge pages are not supported on macOS.
+
+### Balance Not Increasing
+
+Most pools are PPLNS pools,
+which means that you only get paid when a miner on the pool finds a
+block. If the pool you are mining on is small, this can take a few
+days to weeks.
+
+Additionally, any blocks found must mature before they can be paid

+On some CPUs, XMRig tries to increase performance by disabling certain
+features like your CPU's instruction prefetcher. These operations
+require root/administrator, so try right clicking xmrig.exe and
+running it as administrator, or running `sudo ./xmrig` on other
+systems.
+
+### Algo not known
+
+Find the line in config.json that says `algo: null` and change it to
+`algo: "rx/0"`. By default, XMRig expects the pool to tell it which
+hashing algorithm to use.
+
+### Huge Pages 0%
+
+#### Allowing large pages on Windows
+
+Taken from [the MSDN](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/enable-the-lock-pages-in-memory-option-windows?view=sql-server-ver15):
+
+>1. On the Start menu, click Run. In the Open box, type gpedit.msc.
+2. On the Local Group Policy Editor console, expand Computer Configuration, and then expand Windows Settings.
+3. Expand Security Settings, and then expand Local Policies.
+4. Select the User Rights Assignment folder.
+5. The policies will be displayed in the details pane.
+6. In the pane, double-click Lock pages in memory.
+7. In the Local Security Setting – Lock pages in memory dialog box, click Add User or Group.
+8. In the Select Users, Service Accounts, or Groups dialog box, add an account that you will run the miner on
+9. Reboot for change to take effect.
+
+You may also need to launch the miner as administrator.
+
+#### Allowing large pages on Linux
+
+Firstly stop the miner (if it's running), run the following commands to enable
+large pages and then start the miner as root:
+
+ sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=1168
+ sudo ./xmrig
+
+You may have to increase 1168 depending on how many NUMA nodes your
+CPU(s) have.
+
+#### Allowing large pages on macOS
+
+Huge pages are not supported on macOS.
+
+### Balance Not Increasing
+
+Most pools are PPLNS pools,
+which means that you only get paid when a miner on the pool finds a
+block. If the pool you are mining on is small, this can take a few
+days to weeks.
+
+Additionally, any blocks found must mature before they can be paid
+out. This takes 60 blocks (approx. 2 hours).
+
+## Getting Help
+
+An active Monero mining community on Reddit is
+[/r/MoneroSupport](https://www.reddit.com/r/MoneroSupport/). You can
+also join [#monero-pools on
+freenode](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channel=#monero-pools).
+
+## Going Futher
+
+* Consider using a subaddress just for mining, to prevent your address
+ being linked to different services.
+* [Consider using Tor to connect to the
+ pool](https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/tor) (or to a hidden service pool
+ like HashVault, RespectXMR and MoneroOcean). This hides mining
+ activity from your ISP, and prevents the pool from knowing who you
+ are.

- sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=128
- sudo ./xmr-stak-cpu
+Choosing a larger pool means that you will see more frequent (but
+smaller) payouts, but choosing a smaller pools helps keep the network
+decentralised. [Miners will not lose any revenue by mining on a
+smaller pool](https://redd.it/g6uh2l).
-## Pages larges sur Windows
+## Configuring the miner
-Comme expliqué dans `config.txt`:
+Navigate to your chosen pool's webpage and read their
+documentation. They should mention an address and port for you to
+enter into your miner. For example, `pool.xmr.pt:3333`.
->By default we will try to allocate large pages. This means you need to "Run As Administrator" on Windows
-You need to edit your system's group policies to enable locking large pages. Here are the steps from MSDN
-1. On the Start menu, click Run. In the Open box, type gpedit.msc.
+Next, open up the config.json you copied or extracted earlier in your
+favourite text editor. Scroll down to the line that says
+`donate.v2.xmrig.com:3333` and change the text inside the quotes to
+the address of your pool. The line below should contain
+`YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS`. Change that to your actual wallet address.
+
+After these modifications, your configuration should look something like this:
+
+```
+{
+ // [...]
+ "pools": [
+ {
+ "url": "pool.xmr.pt:3333",
+ "user": "43YjW8SZov..."
+ }
+ ],
+ // [...]
+}
+```
+
+## Starting the miner
+
+Windows users can double click on xmrig.exe. Users of other operating
+systems should `cd` into the directory that contains XMRig and then
+type `./xmrig` and press return.
+
+If you see green messages saying that shares have been accepted,
+congratulations, everything is working!
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Anti-virus keeps removing XMRig
+
+Some anti-viruses flag XMRig as malware because it is often deployed
+to infected computers to mine without the owner's consent. As it is
+your computer and you are configuring the miner to mine for you, it is
+safe to add XMRig to your anti-virus whitelist.
+
+### Cannot read/set MSR
+
+On some CPUs, XMRig tries to increase performance by disabling certain
+features like your CPU's instruction prefetcher. These operations
+require root/administrator, so try right clicking xmrig.exe and
+running it as administrator, or running `sudo ./xmrig` on other
+systems.
+
+### Algo not known
+
+Find the line in config.json that says `algo: null` and change it to
+`algo: "rx/0"`. By default, XMRig expects the pool to tell it which
+hashing algorithm to use.

+## Starting the miner
+
+Windows users can double click on xmrig.exe. Users of other operating
+systems should `cd` into the directory that contains XMRig and then
+type `./xmrig` and press return.
+
+If you see green messages saying that shares have been accepted,
+congratulations, everything is working!
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Anti-virus keeps removing XMRig
+
+Some anti-viruses flag XMRig as malware because it is often deployed
+to infected computers to mine without the owner's consent. As it is
+your computer and you are configuring the miner to mine for you, it is
+safe to add XMRig to your anti-virus whitelist.
+
+### Cannot read/set MSR
+
+On some CPUs, XMRig tries to increase performance by disabling certain
+features like your CPU's instruction prefetcher. These operations
+require root/administrator, so try right clicking xmrig.exe and
+running it as administrator, or running `sudo ./xmrig` on other
+systems.
+
+### Algo not known
+
+Find the line in config.json that says `algo: null` and change it to
+`algo: "rx/0"`. By default, XMRig expects the pool to tell it which
+hashing algorithm to use.

-# Een pool selecteren
+## Wallet
-Je kunt uit allerlei pools kiezen. Er staat een lijst op
-[moneropools.com](https://moneropools.com). Als je bij een grotere pool minet, kun je
-vaker betaald worden, maar als je bij een kleinere pool minet, help je het netwerk
-gedecentraliseerd te houden.
+Before starting, you already need to have a wallet configured and
+working. The pool needs to know your wallet address to be able to send
+payments there. See the [Accepting Monero guide]({{ site.baseurl
+}}/get-started/accepting) for more information.
-# Een CPU-miningprogramma selecteren
+## Profitability
-Net als pools zijn er veel miningprogramma's waaruit je kunt kiezen. Welke soort software
-je nodig hebt hangt af van de hardware waarop je wilt minen. Deze handleiding gaat over
-minen op een CPU, en daarvoor gebruiken we
-[xmr-stak-cpu](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu). Andere mogelijkheden zijn onder meer
-[wolf's CPUMiner](https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi) en
-[sgminer-gm](https://github.com/genesismining/sgminer-gm). Maar de
-configuratie daarvan is net iets anders en wordt hier niet behandeld.
+Before mining, you should decide if it is worth it or not for you. You
+have to decide this for yourself, based on your power costs and the
+hardware that you have available. There are many sites, such as
+[CryptoCompare](https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/xmr)
+that allow you to enter your miner's speed and power draw, and it will
+show you the profit (or loss) per week/month.
-## Voor Windows-systemen
+## Download Miner
-Als je een Windows-systeem gebruikt, kun je de binaries van xmr-stak-cpu
-downloaden op de
-[release-pagina op GitHub](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu/releases).
+The first step is to download mining software onto your computer.
-Download `xmr-stak-cpu-win64.zip` en pak het uit op een plek waar je
-het kunt terugvinden.
+### Windows
-## Voor andere besturingssystemen
+The XMRig developer provides pre-built binaries for Windows
+users. They are available on the [GitHub release
+page](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest).
-Als je niet Windows gebruikt, moet je zelf xmr-stak-cpu compileren.
-Gelukkig is dat niet zo moeilijk als het klinkt. Voordat je het miningprogramma kunt compileren,
-moet je een paar vereiste onderdelen installeren.
+Scroll down until you see `xmrig-VERSION-msvc-win64.zip`. Download
+this file and extract the archive somewhere memorable, like your desktop.
-Voor distributies op basis van Debian:
+### Ubuntu Linux
- sudo apt-get install libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev cmake build-essential
+The XMRig developer provides pre-built binaries for Ubuntu Xenial
+Xerus (16.04). They may work on other Ubuntu versions, and on other
+distributions, but this is not guaranteed.
-Voor distributies op basis van Red Hat:
+These binaries are available on the [GitHub release
+page](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest).
- sudo yum install openssl-devel cmake gcc-c++ libmicrohttpd-devel
+Scroll down until you see `xmrig-VERSION-xenial-x64.tar.gz`. Download
+this file, extract the archive somewhere memorable, like your desktop.
-
+### Other Linux
-Hierna hoef je alleen nog de build-bestanden te maken met cmake,
-make uit te voeren en het configuratiebestand te kopiëren:
+Users of other Linux distributions can compile XMRig from
+source. Firstly, install the dependencies:
- mkdir build-$(gcc -dumpmachine)
- cd $_
- cmake ../
- make -j$(nproc)
- cp ../config.txt bin/
- cd bin
+```
+# For Debian-based distros
+sudo apt install \
+ build-essential \
+ cmake \
+ git \
+ libhwloc-dev \
+ libssl-dev \
+ libuv1-dev
+```
-Juich niet te vroeg, want het miningprogramma moet nog worden geconfigureerd. Als je het miningprogramma nu uitvoert,
-wordt er een blok tekst weergegeven om te kopiëren en plakken:
+Download the XMRig source code:
-
+```
+git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
+cd xmrig
+```
-Open `config.txt` en *vervang* de twee regels `"cpu_threads_conf"` met de tekst
-die je net hebt gekopieerd. Daarna zou het er ongeveer zo uit moeten zien:
+Configure and compile XMRig:
-
+```
+cmake -Bbuild
+make -Cbuild -j$(nproc)
+```
-Schuif omlaag in het bestand tot je bij de regels met `"pool_address"` bent.
-*Vervang* de inhoud van het tweede stel aanhalingstekens met het adres en de poort van
-de pool die je eerder hebt gekozen. Je kunt deze informatie op de website van de pool vinden.
+Copy binary and example configuration to your home directory:
-Plak het adres van je portemonnee tussen de aanhalingstekens bij `wallet_address`. Je kunt het
-wachtwoord leeg laten, tenzij de pool een wachtwoord vereist.
+```
+cp build/xmrig ~/
+cp src/config.json ~/
+```
-Hierna zou je configuratie er ongeveer zo uit moeten zien:
+### macOS Build
-
+Firstly, install XCode and [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
-# Het miningprogramma uitvoeren
+Use Homebrew to install dependencies:
-**Sla het configuratiebestand op** en voer het miningprogramma uit.
+```
+brew install \
+ cmake \
+ hwloc \
+ libmicrohttpd \
+ libuv \
+ openssl
+```
-
+Download XMRig sources:
-Bij sommige pools kun je je hashrate volgen door je adres in te voeren op hun
-website. Je kunt de hashrate ook zien door op de toets `h` te drukken.
+```
+git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
+cd xmrig
+```
-# Het miningprogramma afstellen
+Configure and compile XMRig:
-Mogelijk krijg je vervelende meldingen als deze te zien:
+```
+cmake -Bbuild -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl
+make -Cbuild -j$(nproc)
+```
- [2017-07-09 12:04:02] : MEMORY ALLOC FAILED: mmap failed
+Copy binary and example configuration to your home directory:
-Dit betekent dat je je hashrate met ongeveer 20% kunt verhogen door grote pagina's in te schakelen.
+```
+cp build/xmrig ~/
+cp src/config.json ~/
+```
-## Grote pagina's in Linux
+## Selecting a pool
-Stop eerst het miningprogramma (als het aan staat), voer de volgende opdrachten uit om
-grote pagina's in te schakelen en start vervolgens het miningprogramma als root:
+There are lots of pools to choose from. You can find a list at
+[miningpoolstats.stream/monero](https://miningpoolstats.stream/monero).
- sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=128
- sudo ./xmr-stak-cpu
+Choosing a larger pool means that you will see more frequent (but
+smaller) payouts, but choosing a smaller pools helps keep the network
+decentralised. [Miners will not lose any revenue by mining on a
+smaller pool](https://redd.it/g6uh2l).
-## Grote pagina's in Windows
+## Configuring the miner
-Geciteerd uit `config.txt`:
+Navigate to your chosen pool's webpage and read their
+documentation. They should mention an address and port for you to
+enter into your miner. For example, `pool.xmr.pt:3333`.
-Standaard proberen we grote pagina's toe te wijzen. Hiervoor moet je het programma als Administrator uitvoeren in Windows.
-Je moet het vergrendelen van grote pagina's inschakelen in het groepsbeleid van je systeem. Dit zijn de stappen volgens MSDN:
-1. Klik in het Startmenu op `Uitvoeren`. Typ gpedit.msc in het vak `Openen`.
-2. In de console van de `Editor voor lokaal groepsbeleid` vouw je `Computerconfiguratie` uit, en vervolgens `Windows-instellingen`.
-3. Vouw `Beveiligingsinstellingen` uit, en vervolgens `Lokaal beleid`.
-4. Selecteer de map `Toewijzing van gebruikersrechten`.
-5. De beleidsregels worden weergegeven in het detailvenster.
-6. Dubbelklik in het deelvenster op `Pagina's in het geheugen vergrendelen`.
-7. Klik in het dialoogvenster `Lokale beveiligingsinstelling` â `Pagina's in het geheugen vergrendelen` op `Gebruiker of groep toevoegen`.
-8. Voeg in het dialoogvenster `Gebruikers of groepen selecteren` een account toe waarop u het miningprogramma wilt uitvoeren.
-9. Start de computer opnieuw op om de wijziging door te voeren.
+Next, open up the config.json you copied or extracted earlier in your
+favourite text editor. Scroll down to the line that says
+`donate.v2.xmrig.com:3333` and change the text inside the quotes to
+the address of your pool. The line below should contain
+`YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS`. Change that to your actual wallet address.
+
+After these modifications, your configuration should look something like this:
+
+```

-
+Firstly, install XCode and [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
-# Uruchomienie koparki
+Use Homebrew to install dependencies:
-**Zapisz plik konfiguracyjny** i uruchom koparkę!
+```
+brew install \

-Niektóre zrzeszenia pozwalają na monitorowanie twojej prędkości haszowania poprzez wklejenie twojego adresu na ich stronę. Możesz także śledzić ją, klikając klawisz `h`.
+```
+git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
+cd xmrig
+```
-# Ustawienia koparki
+Configure and compile XMRig:
-Możesz zobaczyć takie niemiłe wiadomości:
+```
+cmake -Bbuild -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl
+make -Cbuild -j$(nproc)
+```
- [2017-07-09 12:04:02] : MEMORY ALLOC FAILED: mmap failed
+Copy binary and example configuration to your home directory:
-Oznacza to, że możesz zwiększyć swoją prędkość haszowania o około 20% poprzez włączenie dużych stron.
+```
+cp build/xmrig ~/
+cp src/config.json ~/
+```
-## Duże strony w Linuxie
+## Selecting a pool
-Najpierw zatrzymaj koparkę, jeśli jest włączona. Uruchom poniższą funkcję, aby włączyć duże strony, a następnie uruchom koparkę jako root:
+There are lots of pools to choose from. You can find a list at
+[miningpoolstats.stream/monero](https://miningpoolstats.stream/monero).
- sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=128
- sudo ./xmr-stak-cpu
+Choosing a larger pool means that you will see more frequent (but
+smaller) payouts, but choosing a smaller pools helps keep the network
+decentralised. [Miners will not lose any revenue by mining on a
+smaller pool](https://redd.it/g6uh2l).
-## Duże strony w Windowsie
+## Configuring the miner
-Wzięte z `config.txt`:
+Navigate to your chosen pool's webpage and read their
+documentation. They should mention an address and port for you to
+enter into your miner. For example, `pool.xmr.pt:3333`.
->Opcja użycia dużych stron jest domyślnie wyłączona. Oznacza to, że musisz uruchomić Windowsa jako administrator i zmienić zasady grupy systemowej na pozwolenie użycia dużych stron. Poniżej znajdują się kroki według MSDN:
-1. W menu Start, kliknij "Uruchom". W otwartym okienku wpisz gpedit.msc.
-2. W edytorze zasad grupy systemowej rowziń Konfiguracje Komputera, a następnie rozwiń Ustawienia Windowsa.
-3. Rowziń Ustawienia Bezpieczeństwa, a następnie rowziń Lokalne Zasady.
-4. Wybierz folder Przypisanie Praw Użytkownika.
-5. Zasady zostaną wyświetlone w okienku ze szczegółami.
-6. W tym okienku kliknij dwukrotnie na Blokadę stron w pamięci.
-7. W Ustawieniach Lokalnego Bezpieczeństwa - okno dialogowe Blokada stron w pamięci kliknij Dodaj Użytkownika lub Grupę.
-8. W oknie dialogowym Wybierz Użytkownika, Konto Usługi lub Grupę dodaj konto, na którym uruchomisz koparkę.
-9. Zreinicjuj komputer, aby zmiany zostały zapisane.
+Next, open up the config.json you copied or extracted earlier in your
+favourite text editor. Scroll down to the line that says
+`donate.v2.xmrig.com:3333` and change the text inside the quotes to
+the address of your pool. The line below should contain
+`YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS`. Change that to your actual wallet address.
+
+After these modifications, your configuration should look something like this:
+
+```
+{
+ // [...]
+ "pools": [
+ {
+ "url": "pool.xmr.pt:3333",
+ "user": "43YjW8SZov..."
+ }
+ ],
+ // [...]
+}
+```
+
+## Starting the miner
+
+Windows users can double click on xmrig.exe. Users of other operating
+systems should `cd` into the directory that contains XMRig and then
+type `./xmrig` and press return.
+
+If you see green messages saying that shares have been accepted,
+congratulations, everything is working!
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Anti-virus keeps removing XMRig
+
+Some anti-viruses flag XMRig as malware because it is often deployed
+to infected computers to mine without the owner's consent. As it is
+your computer and you are configuring the miner to mine for you, it is
+safe to add XMRig to your anti-virus whitelist.
+
+### Cannot read/set MSR
+
+On some CPUs, XMRig tries to increase performance by disabling certain
+features like your CPU's instruction prefetcher. These operations
+require root/administrator, so try right clicking xmrig.exe and
+running it as administrator, or running `sudo ./xmrig` on other
+systems.
+
+### Algo not known
+
+Find the line in config.json that says `algo: null` and change it to
+`algo: "rx/0"`. By default, XMRig expects the pool to tell it which
+hashing algorithm to use.
+
+### Huge Pages 0%
+
+#### Allowing large pages on Windows
+
+Taken from [the MSDN](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/enable-the-lock-pages-in-memory-option-windows?view=sql-server-ver15):
+
+>1. On the Start menu, click Run. In the Open box, type gpedit.msc.
+2. On the Local Group Policy Editor console, expand Computer Configuration, and then expand Windows Settings.
+3. Expand Security Settings, and then expand Local Policies.
+4. Select the User Rights Assignment folder.
+5. The policies will be displayed in the details pane.
+6. In the pane, double-click Lock pages in memory.
+7. In the Local Security Setting – Lock pages in memory dialog box, click Add User or Group.
+8. In the Select Users, Service Accounts, or Groups dialog box, add an account that you will run the miner on
+9. Reboot for change to take effect.
+
+You may also need to launch the miner as administrator.
+
+#### Allowing large pages on Linux
+
+Firstly stop the miner (if it's running), run the following commands to enable
+large pages and then start the miner as root:
+
+ sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=1168
+ sudo ./xmrig
+
+You may have to increase 1168 depending on how many NUMA nodes your
+CPU(s) have.
+
+#### Allowing large pages on macOS
+
+Huge pages are not supported on macOS.
+
+### Balance Not Increasing
+
+Most pools are PPLNS pools,
+which means that you only get paid when a miner on the pool finds a
+block. If the pool you are mining on is small, this can take a few
+days to weeks.
+
+Additionally, any blocks found must mature before they can be paid
+out. This takes 60 blocks (approx. 2 hours).

-# Selecting a pool
+## Wallet
-There are many pools to choose from, a list is available at
-[moneropools.com](https://moneropools.com). Mining on a larger pool could mean
-more frequent payouts, but mining on a smaller pool helps to keep the network
-decentralized.
+Before starting, you already need to have a wallet configured and
+working. The pool needs to know your wallet address to be able to send
+payments there. See the [Accepting Monero guide]({{ site.baseurl
+}}/get-started/accepting) for more information.
-# Selecting a CPU miner
+## Profitability
-Just like pools, there are a lot of miners to choose from. The one that you
-should pick depends on the hardware you want to mine on. This guide will only
-use a CPU miner, and will be using
-[xmr-stak-cpu](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu). Alternatives include
-[wolf's CPUMiner](https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi) and
-[sgminer-gm](https://github.com/genesismining/sgminer-gm). However, their
-configuration is slightly different and will not be covered in this guide.
+Before mining, you should decide if it is worth it or not for you. You
+have to decide this for yourself, based on your power costs and the
+hardware that you have available. There are many sites, such as
+[CryptoCompare](https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/xmr)
+that allow you to enter your miner's speed and power draw, and it will
+show you the profit (or loss) per week/month.
-## For Windows Systems
+## Download Miner
-If you are using a Windows system, the developer of xmr-stak-cpu provides
-binaries to download on the
-[GitHub release page](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu/releases).
+The first step is to download mining software onto your computer.
-Download `xmr-stak-cpu-win64.zip` and extract it somewhere you'll be able to
-find it again.
+### Windows
-## For Other Operating Systems
+The XMRig developer provides pre-built binaries for Windows
+users. They are available on the [GitHub release
+page](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest).
-If you're not using Windows, you will have to compile xmr-stak-cpu for yourself,
-luckily this isn't as hard as it sounds. Before you can compile the miner, you
-will need to install some of its prerequisites.
+Scroll down until you see `xmrig-VERSION-msvc-win64.zip`. Download
+this file and extract the archive somewhere memorable, like your desktop.
-For Debian-based distros:
+### Ubuntu Linux
- sudo apt-get install libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev cmake build-essential
+The XMRig developer provides pre-built binaries for Ubuntu Xenial
+Xerus (16.04). They may work on other Ubuntu versions, and on other
+distributions, but this is not guaranteed.
-For Red Hat based distros:
+These binaries are available on the [GitHub release
+page](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest).
- sudo yum install openssl-devel cmake gcc-c++ libmicrohttpd-devel
+Scroll down until you see `xmrig-VERSION-xenial-x64.tar.gz`. Download
+this file, extract the archive somewhere memorable, like your desktop.
-
+### Other Linux
-Following this, you just need to use cmake to generate the build files, run
-make and copy the config file:
+Users of other Linux distributions can compile XMRig from
+source. Firstly, install the dependencies:
- mkdir build-$(gcc -dumpmachine)
- cd $_
- cmake ../
- make -j$(nproc)
- cp ../config.txt bin/
- cd bin
+```
+# For Debian-based distros
+sudo apt install \
+ build-essential \
+ cmake \
+ git \
+ libhwloc-dev \
+ libssl-dev \
+ libuv1-dev
+```
-Don't celebrate just yet, as the miner needs to be configured. Running the miner
-now should give you a block of text to copy and paste:
+Download the XMRig source code:
-
+```
+git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
+cd xmrig
+```
-Open `config.txt` and *replace* the two `"cpu_threads_conf"` lines with the text
-you just copied. It should look something like this afterwards:
+Configure and compile XMRig:
-
+```
+cmake -Bbuild
+make -Cbuild -j$(nproc)
+```
-Scroll down in the file until you see the lines containing `"pool_address"`.
-*Replace* the contents of the second set of quotes with the address and port of
-the pool you chose earlier. You can find this information on the pool's website.
+Copy binary and example configuration to your home directory:
-Put your wallet address between the quotes on the wallet address. You may leave
-the password blank unless the pool specifies otherwise.
+```
+cp build/xmrig ~/
+cp src/config.json ~/
+```
-After this, your config should look something like this:

- sudo apt-get install libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev cmake build-essential
+The XMRig developer provides pre-built binaries for Ubuntu Xenial
+Xerus (16.04). They may work on other Ubuntu versions, and on other
+distributions, but this is not guaranteed.
-Для дистрибутивов на основе Red Hat:
+These binaries are available on the [GitHub release
+page](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest).
- sudo yum install openssl-devel cmake gcc-c++ libmicrohttpd-devel
+Scroll down until you see `xmrig-VERSION-xenial-x64.tar.gz`. Download
+this file, extract the archive somewhere memorable, like your desktop.
-
+### Other Linux
-После этого cmake используется исключительно для генерирования файлов сборки, проверки и копирования файла конфигурации:
+Users of other Linux distributions can compile XMRig from
+source. Firstly, install the dependencies:
- mkdir build-$(gcc -dumpmachine)
- cd $_
- cmake ../
- make -j$(nproc)
- cp ../config.txt bin/
- cd bin
+```
+# For Debian-based distros
+sudo apt install \
+ build-essential \
+ cmake \
+ git \
+ libhwloc-dev \
+ libssl-dev \
+ libuv1-dev
+```
-Но пока рано радоваться, ведь майнер ещё нужно конфигурировать. Сейчас при запуске майнера должен появиться текстовый блок, который необходимо скопировать и вставить:
+Download the XMRig source code:
-
+```
+git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
+cd xmrig
+```
-Теперь следует открыть файл `config.txt` и *заменить* две строки `"cpu_threads_conf"` только что скопированным текстом. После этого всё должно выглядеть примерно так:
+Configure and compile XMRig:
-
+```
+cmake -Bbuild
+make -Cbuild -j$(nproc)
+```
-После этого необходимо прокрутить содержимое файла до строк, содержащих `"pool_address"`.
-*Заменить* содержание вторых кавычек на адрес и порт пула, выбранного ранее. Эта информация обычно размещается на веб-сайте пула.
+Copy binary and example configuration to your home directory:
-В кавычках для указания адреса кошелька следует указать адрес вашего кошелька. Пароль можно не вводить, если пул не потребует сделать иначе.
+```
+cp build/xmrig ~/
+cp src/config.json ~/
+```
-После этого конфигурация должна выглядеть примерно так:
+### macOS Build
-
+Firstly, install XCode and [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
-## Запуск майнера
+Use Homebrew to install dependencies:
-**Сохранить файл конфигурации** и запустить майнер!
+```
+brew install \
+ cmake \
+ hwloc \
+ libmicrohttpd \
+ libuv \
+ openssl
+```
-
+Download XMRig sources:
-Некоторые пулы позволяют отслеживать ваш хешрейт, для этого ваш адрес копируется на их веб-сайт. Также хешрейт можно просмотреть, нажав клавишу `h`.
+```
+git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
+cd xmrig
+```
-## Настройка майнера
+Configure and compile XMRig:
-Возможно, вы увидите неприятное сообщение, подобное этому:
+```
+cmake -Bbuild -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl
+make -Cbuild -j$(nproc)
+```
- [2017-07-09 12:04:02] : MEMORY ALLOC FAILED: mmap failed
+Copy binary and example configuration to your home directory:
-Это означает, что вы можете повысить хешрейт примерно на 20%, если станете использовать большие страницы памяти (Large Pages).
+```
+cp build/xmrig ~/
+cp src/config.json ~/
+```
-### Настройка больших страниц в Linux
+## Selecting a pool
-Сначала необходимо остановить работу майнера (если он запущен), а затем ввести следующие команды, которые включат большие страницы, а затем следует запустить майнер в качестве корневой программы:
+There are lots of pools to choose from. You can find a list at
+[miningpoolstats.stream/monero](https://miningpoolstats.stream/monero).
- sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=128
- sudo ./xmr-stak-cpu
+Choosing a larger pool means that you will see more frequent (but
+smaller) payouts, but choosing a smaller pools helps keep the network
+decentralised. [Miners will not lose any revenue by mining on a
+smaller pool](https://redd.it/g6uh2l).
-### Настройка больших страниц в Windows
+## Configuring the miner
-Взято из файла `config.txt`:
+Navigate to your chosen pool's webpage and read their
+documentation. They should mention an address and port for you to
+enter into your miner. For example, `pool.xmr.pt:3333`.
->Мы попытаемся по умолчанию включить большие страницы. Это означает, что вам понадобится запустить Windows с правами администратора (Run As Administrator). Для того чтобы включить блокировку больших страниц в памяти, понадобится отредактировать групповую политику в системе. MSDN предлагает сделать следующее:
-1. В меню Start (Пуск) выбрать команду Run (Выполнить). В окне Open (Открыть) ввести gpedit.msc.
-2. В консоли Local Group Policy Editor (Редактор локальных групповых политик) развернуть узел Computer Configuration (Конфигурация компьютера), а затем узел Windows Settings (Настройки Windows).
-3. Развернуть узлы Security Settings (Настройки безопасности) и Local Policies (Локальные политики).
-4. Выбрать папку User Rights Assignment (Назначение прав пользователя).
-5. Политики будут показаны на панели подробностей.
-6. На этой панели дважды щелкнуть параметр Lock pages in memory (Блокировка страниц в памяти).
-7. В диалоговом окне Local Security Setting — Lock pages in memory (Параметры локальной безопасности — блокировка страниц в памяти) щелкнуть Add User or Group (Добавить пользователя или группу).
-8. В диалоговом окне Select Users, Service Accounts, or Groups (Выбор пользователей, учетных записей служб или групп) выбрать учетную запись, которая будет использоваться с майнером.
-9. Чтобы этот параметр вступил в силу, необходимо перезагрузить компьютер.
+Next, open up the config.json you copied or extracted earlier in your
+favourite text editor. Scroll down to the line that says
+`donate.v2.xmrig.com:3333` and change the text inside the quotes to
+the address of your pool. The line below should contain
+`YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS`. Change that to your actual wallet address.
+
+After these modifications, your configuration should look something like this:
+
+```
+{
+ // [...]
+ "pools": [
+ {
+ "url": "pool.xmr.pt:3333",
+ "user": "43YjW8SZov..."
+ }
+ ],
+ // [...]
+}
+```
+
+## Starting the miner
+
+Windows users can double click on xmrig.exe. Users of other operating
+systems should `cd` into the directory that contains XMRig and then
+type `./xmrig` and press return.
+
+If you see green messages saying that shares have been accepted,
+congratulations, everything is working!
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Anti-virus keeps removing XMRig
+
+Some anti-viruses flag XMRig as malware because it is often deployed
+to infected computers to mine without the owner's consent. As it is
+your computer and you are configuring the miner to mine for you, it is
+safe to add XMRig to your anti-virus whitelist.
+
+### Cannot read/set MSR
+
+On some CPUs, XMRig tries to increase performance by disabling certain
+features like your CPU's instruction prefetcher. These operations
+require root/administrator, so try right clicking xmrig.exe and
+running it as administrator, or running `sudo ./xmrig` on other
+systems.
+
+### Algo not known
+
+Find the line in config.json that says `algo: null` and change it to
+`algo: "rx/0"`. By default, XMRig expects the pool to tell it which
+hashing algorithm to use.
+
+### Huge Pages 0%
+
+#### Allowing large pages on Windows
+
+Taken from [the MSDN](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/database-engine/configure-windows/enable-the-lock-pages-in-memory-option-windows?view=sql-server-ver15):
+
+>1. On the Start menu, click Run. In the Open box, type gpedit.msc.
+2. On the Local Group Policy Editor console, expand Computer Configuration, and then expand Windows Settings.
+3. Expand Security Settings, and then expand Local Policies.
+4. Select the User Rights Assignment folder.
+5. The policies will be displayed in the details pane.
+6. In the pane, double-click Lock pages in memory.
+7. In the Local Security Setting – Lock pages in memory dialog box, click Add User or Group.
+8. In the Select Users, Service Accounts, or Groups dialog box, add an account that you will run the miner on
+9. Reboot for change to take effect.
+
+You may also need to launch the miner as administrator.
+
+#### Allowing large pages on Linux
+
+Firstly stop the miner (if it's running), run the following commands to enable
+large pages and then start the miner as root:
+
+ sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=1168
+ sudo ./xmrig
+
+You may have to increase 1168 depending on how many NUMA nodes your
+CPU(s) have.
+
+#### Allowing large pages on macOS
+
+Huge pages are not supported on macOS.
+
+### Balance Not Increasing
+
+Most pools are PPLNS pools,
+which means that you only get paid when a miner on the pool finds a
+block. If the pool you are mining on is small, this can take a few
+days to weeks.
+
+Additionally, any blocks found must mature before they can be paid
+out. This takes 60 blocks (approx. 2 hours).

-# Selecting a pool
+## Wallet
-There are many pools to choose from, a list is available at
-[moneropools.com](https://moneropools.com). Mining on a larger pool could mean
-more frequent payouts, but mining on a smaller pool helps to keep the network
-decentralized.
+Before starting, you already need to have a wallet configured and
+working. The pool needs to know your wallet address to be able to send
+payments there. See the [Accepting Monero guide]({{ site.baseurl
+}}/get-started/accepting) for more information.
-# Selecting a CPU miner
+## Profitability
-Just like pools, there are a lot of miners to choose from. The one that you
-should pick depends on the hardware you want to mine on. This guide will only
-use a CPU miner, and will be using
-[xmr-stak-cpu](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu). Alternatives include
-[wolf's CPUMiner](https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi) and
-[sgminer-gm](https://github.com/genesismining/sgminer-gm). However, their
-configuration is slightly different and will not be covered in this guide.
+Before mining, you should decide if it is worth it or not for you. You
+have to decide this for yourself, based on your power costs and the
+hardware that you have available. There are many sites, such as
+[CryptoCompare](https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/xmr)
+that allow you to enter your miner's speed and power draw, and it will
+show you the profit (or loss) per week/month.
-## For Windows Systems
+## Download Miner
-If you are using a Windows system, the developer of xmr-stak-cpu provides
-binaries to download on the
-[GitHub release page](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu/releases).
+The first step is to download mining software onto your computer.
-Download `xmr-stak-cpu-win64.zip` and extract it somewhere you'll be able to
-find it again.
+### Windows
-## For Other Operating Systems
+The XMRig developer provides pre-built binaries for Windows
+users. They are available on the [GitHub release
+page](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest).
-If you're not using Windows, you will have to compile xmr-stak-cpu for yourself,
-luckily this isn't as hard as it sounds. Before you can compile the miner, you
-will need to install some of its prerequisites.
+Scroll down until you see `xmrig-VERSION-msvc-win64.zip`. Download
+this file and extract the archive somewhere memorable, like your desktop.

-Don't celebrate just yet, as the miner needs to be configured. Running the miner
-now should give you a block of text to copy and paste:
+Download the XMRig source code:
-
+```
+git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
+cd xmrig
+```
-Open `config.txt` and *replace* the two `"cpu_threads_conf"` lines with the text
-you just copied. It should look something like this afterwards:
+Configure and compile XMRig:
-
+```
+cmake -Bbuild
+make -Cbuild -j$(nproc)
+```
-Scroll down in the file until you see the lines containing `"pool_address"`.
-*Replace* the contents of the second set of quotes with the address and port of
-the pool you chose earlier. You can find this information on the pool's website.
+Copy binary and example configuration to your home directory:
-Put your wallet address between the quotes on the wallet address. You may leave

-# Selecting a CPU miner
+## Profitability
-Just like pools, there are a lot of miners to choose from. The one that you
-should pick depends on the hardware you want to mine on. This guide will only
-use a CPU miner, and will be using
-[xmr-stak-cpu](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu). Alternatives include
-[wolf's CPUMiner](https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi) and
-[sgminer-gm](https://github.com/genesismining/sgminer-gm). However, their
-configuration is slightly different and will not be covered in this guide.
+Before mining, you should decide if it is worth it or not for you. You
+have to decide this for yourself, based on your power costs and the
+hardware that you have available. There are many sites, such as
+[CryptoCompare](https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/xmr)
+that allow you to enter your miner's speed and power draw, and it will
+show you the profit (or loss) per week/month.
-## For Windows Systems
+## Download Miner
-If you are using a Windows system, the developer of xmr-stak-cpu provides
-binaries to download on the
-[GitHub release page](https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-cpu/releases).
+The first step is to download mining software onto your computer.
-Download `xmr-stak-cpu-win64.zip` and extract it somewhere you'll be able to
-find it again.
+### Windows
-## For Other Operating Systems
+The XMRig developer provides pre-built binaries for Windows
+users. They are available on the [GitHub release
+page](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest).
-If you're not using Windows, you will have to compile xmr-stak-cpu for yourself,
-luckily this isn't as hard as it sounds. Before you can compile the miner, you
-will need to install some of its prerequisites.
+Scroll down until you see `xmrig-VERSION-msvc-win64.zip`. Download
+this file and extract the archive somewhere memorable, like your desktop.
-For Debian-based distros:
+### Ubuntu Linux
- sudo apt-get install libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev cmake build-essential
+The XMRig developer provides pre-built binaries for Ubuntu Xenial
+Xerus (16.04). They may work on other Ubuntu versions, and on other
+distributions, but this is not guaranteed.
-For Red Hat based distros:
+These binaries are available on the [GitHub release
+page](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases/latest).
- sudo yum install openssl-devel cmake gcc-c++ libmicrohttpd-devel
+Scroll down until you see `xmrig-VERSION-xenial-x64.tar.gz`. Download
+this file, extract the archive somewhere memorable, like your desktop.
-
+### Other Linux
-Following this, you just need to use cmake to generate the build files, run
-make and copy the config file:
+Users of other Linux distributions can compile XMRig from
+source. Firstly, install the dependencies:
- mkdir build-$(gcc -dumpmachine)
- cd $_
- cmake ../
- make -j$(nproc)
- cp ../config.txt bin/
- cd bin
+```
+# For Debian-based distros
+sudo apt install \
+ build-essential \
+ cmake \
+ git \
+ libhwloc-dev \
+ libssl-dev \
+ libuv1-dev
+```
-Don't celebrate just yet, as the miner needs to be configured. Running the miner
-now should give you a block of text to copy and paste:
+Download the XMRig source code:
-
+```
+git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
+cd xmrig
+```
-Open `config.txt` and *replace* the two `"cpu_threads_conf"` lines with the text
-you just copied. It should look something like this afterwards:
+Configure and compile XMRig:
-
+```
+cmake -Bbuild
+make -Cbuild -j$(nproc)
+```
-Scroll down in the file until you see the lines containing `"pool_address"`.
-*Replace* the contents of the second set of quotes with the address and port of
-the pool you chose earlier. You can find this information on the pool's website.
+Copy binary and example configuration to your home directory:
-Put your wallet address between the quotes on the wallet address. You may leave
-the password blank unless the pool specifies otherwise.
+```
+cp build/xmrig ~/
+cp src/config.json ~/
+```
-After this, your config should look something like this:
+### macOS Build
-
+Firstly, install XCode and [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
-# Running the miner
+Use Homebrew to install dependencies:
-**Save the config** file and run the miner!
+```
+brew install \
+ cmake \
+ hwloc \
+ libmicrohttpd \
+ libuv \
+ openssl
+```
-
+Download XMRig sources:
-Some pools allow you to monitor your hashrate by pasting your address into their
-website. You can also monitor your hashrate by pressing the `h` key.
+```
+git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
+cd xmrig
+```
-# Tuning the miner
+Configure and compile XMRig:
-You might see nasty messages like this:
+```
+cmake -Bbuild -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl
+make -Cbuild -j$(nproc)
+```
- [2017-07-09 12:04:02] : MEMORY ALLOC FAILED: mmap failed
+Copy binary and example configuration to your home directory:
-This means that you can get around a 20% hashrate boost by enabling large pages.
+```
+cp build/xmrig ~/
+cp src/config.json ~/
+```
-## Large pages on Linux
+## Selecting a pool
-Firstly stop the miner (if it's running), run the following commands to enable
-large pages and then start the miner as root:
+There are lots of pools to choose from. You can find a list at
+[miningpoolstats.stream/monero](https://miningpoolstats.stream/monero).
- sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=128
- sudo ./xmr-stak-cpu
+Choosing a larger pool means that you will see more frequent (but
+smaller) payouts, but choosing a smaller pools helps keep the network
+decentralised. [Miners will not lose any revenue by mining on a
+smaller pool](https://redd.it/g6uh2l).
-## Large pages on Windows
+## Configuring the miner
-Taken from `config.txt`:
+Navigate to your chosen pool's webpage and read their
+documentation. They should mention an address and port for you to
+enter into your miner. For example, `pool.xmr.pt:3333`.
->By default we will try to allocate large pages. This means you need to "Run As Administrator" on Windows
-You need to edit your system's group policies to enable locking large pages. Here are the steps from MSDN
-1. On the Start menu, click Run. In the Open box, type gpedit.msc.
+Next, open up the config.json you copied or extracted earlier in your
+favourite text editor. Scroll down to the line that says
+`donate.v2.xmrig.com:3333` and change the text inside the quotes to
+the address of your pool. The line below should contain
+`YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS`. Change that to your actual wallet address.
+
+After these modifications, your configuration should look something like this:
+
+```
+{
+ // [...]
+ "pools": [
+ {
+ "url": "pool.xmr.pt:3333",
+ "user": "43YjW8SZov..."
+ }
+ ],
+ // [...]
+}
+```
+
+## Starting the miner
+
+Windows users can double click on xmrig.exe. Users of other operating
+systems should `cd` into the directory that contains XMRig and then
+type `./xmrig` and press return.
+
+If you see green messages saying that shares have been accepted,
+congratulations, everything is working!
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Anti-virus keeps removing XMRig
+
+Some anti-viruses flag XMRig as malware because it is often deployed
+to infected computers to mine without the owner's consent. As it is
+your computer and you are configuring the miner to mine for you, it is
+safe to add XMRig to your anti-virus whitelist.
+
+### Cannot read/set MSR
+
+On some CPUs, XMRig tries to increase performance by disabling certain
+features like your CPU's instruction prefetcher. These operations
+require root/administrator, so try right clicking xmrig.exe and
+running it as administrator, or running `sudo ./xmrig` on other
+systems.
+
+### Algo not known
+
+Find the line in config.json that says `algo: null` and change it to
