CMake Options

Algorithms

• -DWITH_CN_LITE=OFF disable all CryptoNight-Lite algorithms ( cn-lite/*).
• -DWITH_CN_HEAVY=OFF disable all CryptoNight-Heavy algorithms ( cn-heavy/*).
• -DWITH_CN_PICO=OFF disable CryptoNight-Pico algorithms (cn-pico and cn-pico/tlo).

• -DWITH_ASTROBWT=OFF disable the AstroBWT algorithm ( astrobwt).
• -DWITH_KAWPOW=OFF disable the KawPow algorithm ( kawpow).

Functions

• -DWITH_HWLOC=OFF disable hwloc support. In most cases, it is not recommended to disable this feature. This feature adds an external dependency to libhwloc (1.10.0+), excluding MSVC assemblies.
• -DWITH_LIBCPUID=OFF disable native libcpuid support, this feature is always disabled if hwloc is enabled, if both hwloc and libcpuid are disabled autoconfiguration for the CPU will be very limited.
• -DWITH_HTTP=OFF disable native HTTP support, this function is used to support HTTP API and daemon (solo mining).
• -DWITH_TLS=OFF disable SSL/TLS support (secure pool connections). This feature adds an external dependency to OpenSSL.
• -DWITH_ASM=OFF disable build optimization for modern CryptoNight algorithms.
• -DWITH_EMBEDDED_CONFIG=ON enable embedded configuration support.
• -DWITH_OPENCL=OFF Disable the OpenCL backend.
• -DWITH_CUDA=OFF disable the NVIDIA CUDA backend.
• -DWITH_NVML=OFF disable NVML (NVIDIA Management Library) support (this feature is only available when CUDA is enabled).
• -DWITH_MSR=OFF Disable MSR mod and Ryzen 1st gen patch.
• -DWITH_ADL=OFF disable ADL (AMD Display Library) or sysfs support (this feature is only available when OpenCL is enabled).
• -DWITH_PROFILING=ON Enable profiling for developers.
• -DWITH_SSE4_1=OFF disable SSE 4.1 for Blake2.
• -DWITH_BENCHMARK=OFF disable the built-in RandomX benchmark and stress test.
• -DWITH_SECURE_JIT=ON enable secure JIT memory access. OFF is the default on all OSes except macOS with an ARM processor.
• -DWITH_DMI=OFF disable DMI/SMBIOS reader.

Debugging options

• -DWITH_DEBUG_LOG=ON enable debug log (mainly network requests).
• -DHWLOC_DEBUG=ON enable some debug logging for hwloc.
• -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug enable debug build, only useful for crash investigation, this option slows down the miner.

Special assembly options

• -DBUILD_STATIC=ON build a completely static executable, this option only works properly on Alpine Linux and FreeBSD.
• -DXMRIG_DEPS= path to precompiled dependencies.
• -DARM_TARGET= override the ARM target, possible values ​​are 7(ARMv7) and 8(ARMv8).
• -DUV_INCLUDE_DIR= custom path to libuv headers.
• -DUV_LIBRARY= custom path to the libuv library.
• -DHWLOC_INCLUDE_DIR= custom path to hwloc headers.
• -DHWLOC_LIBRARY= custom path to the hwloc library.
• -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR= custom path to OpenSSL.
• -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ custom C and C++ compiler.

Usage and Settings

The preferred way to configure the miner is with a JSON configuration file, as it is more flexible and user-friendly. The command line interface does not cover all features such as mining profiles for different algorithms. Important parameters can be changed at runtime without rebooting the miner by editing the configuration file or making API calls.

• – will help you create the initial configuration for the miner.
• – helps manage your miners via HTTP API.

Fast start

In order to mine coins you need:

1. Download program
2. unzip to any convenient location
3. edit the .bat file with the desired coin (change the wallet to yours)

Setting up xmrig for Monero mining

To mine coins using the randomx algorithm, we need to create or edit a ready-made batch file for the coin you need. These are the basic settings, which are enough for mining. We'll look at secondary settings later.

Decoding the contents of the batch file

1. xmrig this key will indicate which program will be launched. Let's leave it as is. For Nvidia we specify xmrig-nvidia
2. -a randomx specify the algorithm. For Monero we leave this one. For coins based on the cryptonight-lite algorithm, indicate it
3. -o pool.supportxmr.com indicate the address of your pool. In this example we have supportxmr, because at the time of writing, it received the largest number of positive reviews
4. 5555 after the pool address we indicate the pool port separated by a colon. dwarfpool has 8050
5. -u 4ALcw9nTAStZSshoWVUJakZ6tLwTDhixhQUQNJkCn4t3fG3MMK19WZM44HnQRvjqmz4LkkA8t565v7iBwQXx2r34HNroSAZ after the -u key we indicate the address of your digital wallet. Get it at , or install a cold wallet
6. —donate-level=1 configure the miner’s commission. By default it is 5%. level=1 means 1%

Example batch file for NiceHash:

xmrig -a randomx -o randomxmonero.eu.nicehash.com:3380 -u 1Pz3EcHsRuJkraNRACUrBrLaxiTPP1VHJZ.rig1 pause

Example batch file for AMD:

:start xmrig -a randomx -o xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14444 -u 44tLjmXrQNrWJ5NBsEj2R77ZBEgDa3fEe9GLpSf2FRmhexPvfYDUAB7EXX1Hdb3aMQ9FLqdJ56yaAhiXoRsceGJCRS3Jxkn.5d3c802ee 0f8e12e4eb9792722b7816a42178aa29ef7477c138ddb940c55648d.rig1 -px —donate-level=1 —opencl goto start

Example batch file for Nvidia:

:start xmrig -a randomx -o pool.supportxmr.com:5555 -u 44tLjmXrQNrWJ5NBsEj2R77ZBEgDa3fEe9GLpSf2FRmhexPvfYDUAB7EXX1Hdb3aMQ9FLqdJ56yaAhiXoRsceGJCRS3Jxkn.5d3c802ee0f8e1 2e4eb9792722b7816a42178aa29ef7477c138ddb940c55648d.rig1 -px —donate-level=1 —cuda goto start
