About:
XMRig is a high-performance, open-source CPU miner for the Monero (XMR) cryptocurrency. It is optimized for maximum hash rate and efficiency, supporting a wide range of hardware and operating systems. Its primary value is providing a reliable and configurable mining solution for individuals and pools.
Key Features:
  • High-performance CPU mining
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD)
  • Extensive configuration and tuning options
  • Support for multiple mining algorithms (RandomX, KawPow, GhostRider)
  • Integrated benchmarks and health monitoring
Use Cases:
  • Mining Monero (XMR) cryptocurrency on personal computers
  • Participating in Monero mining pools for collective reward distribution
  • Benchmarking CPU performance for cryptographic algorithms
Alternatives:
  • xmr-stak – Older, unified CPU/GPU miner, now largely deprecated in favor of XMRig.
  • cpuminer-multi – General-purpose CPU miner supporting multiple coins, but less optimized for Monero's RandomX algorithm.
