How to mine Monero (XMR) on any pool

cryptomkd (57)in #mining • 8 years ago

Hello.

In this video I will show you how to mine Monero or any CryptoNight based coin on pool.

First you need to find pool where to mine

In description of the video I will point some pools.
Some are good, some are not too good
but you will need to test them and choose what pool is best for you.

I will show where I am mining. (Not 100% best pool, just my personal choice)

Lets start!!!

If you want to mine Monero (XMR) one of the largest pools is

http://dwarfpool.com/xmr

This is some of the futures of the pool:

The most profitable and fair RBPPS. No PPLNS!
True round based payment system, proportional your shares, 1.5% fee
Greatly optimized stratum pool engine and cryptonight module,
the small reject ratio and the best vardiff possible
Maxmimum transparent and detailed stats
Monitoring of every rig via email
Mining directly to an exchange without any local wallet,
just put the exchange wallet together with your personal payment_id getting from exchange
Powerful dedicated servers worldwide.
Choose the closest one as a main server, the others as backup or use them at once.
All your shares will be calculated from all servers!
100% failover-infrastructure uptime
DDoS protection by different providers
No registration required
Autopayouts from by user defined threshold once an hour or once every day
Transaction cost -0.024 XMR for exchange-wallets and -0.012 XMR for normal wallet.
More information in FAQ
Sofort payments possible
Separate workers for detailed per rig statistics
Not P2Pool! Less orphaned blocks
"Fake shares" attack resistant
Excellent Support 24/7 in english, русский, deutsch

Mining software for your rigs

In the moment we have a couple of miners out there
you can always search what miner is best for your rigs and your hardware.
Here is some places you can find useful stuff:

In this video i will use mining rig with 4xASUS RX 480 4GB and

Claymore's CryptoNote GPU Miner v9.7
Claymore miner takes 2% fee (2.5% for non-SSL connection).

and

Wolf's XMR GPU Miner v0.4
This miner has a little bit slower speed
But it has no fee!!!

and

MSI Afterburner to setup my GPU’s

Settings for my card’s are:

GPU Clock (MHz) 1075

Memory Clock (MHz) 1950

Power Limit (%) +25

Core Voltage (mV) -84

(OVERCLOCKING YOUR CARD TO THE MAXXXXX will not get you best results,
and beter hashrate)

For your hardware you will need to find witch setup is best for you

Before start mining if you want to mine directly on exchange address,
you will need to proper setup your batch file.
Monero XMR has 2 different addresses.
One is your Monero address and the other is your personal id address.
If you mine directly o exchange, you need to add both of them in your batch
file or you will never receive your mined coins.

For Claymore's CryptoNote GPU Miner v9.7
it should look something like this:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
NsGpuCNMiner.exe -o stratum+tcp://xmr-eu.dwarfpool.com:8100 -u 47sghzufGhJJDQEbScMCwVBimTuq6L5JiRixD8VeGbpjCTA12noXmi4ZyBZLc99e66NtnKff34fHsGRoyZk3ES1s1V4QVcB.aa350949e109d0e5630009ad802a83597cdd2b70a96c6f144a11535ad00daeba.001 -p x

For Wolf's XMR GPU Miner v0.4
it is a little bit different.
You need to setup a .conf (config) file with this parameters:

{
"Algorithms":
[
{
"name": "CryptoNight",
"devices":
[
{
"index": 0,
"threads": 1,
"rawintensity": 1008,
"worksize": 8
},
{
"index": 1,
"threads": 1,
"rawintensity": 1008,
"worksize": 8
},
{
"index": 2,
"threads": 1,
"rawintensity": 1008,
"worksize": 8
},
{
"index": 3,
"threads": 1,
"rawintensity": 1008,
"worksize": 8
}
],
"pools":
[
{
"url": "stratum+tcp://xmr-eu.dwarfpool.com:8100",
"user": "47sghzufGhJJDQEbScMCwVBimTuq6L5JiRixD8VeGbpjCTA12noXmi4ZyBZLc99e66NtnKff34fHsGRoyZk3ES1s1V4QVcB.aa350949e109d0e5630009ad802a83597cdd2b70a96c6f144a11535ad00daeba",
"pass": "x"
}
]
}
]
}

And you need to setup another Batch file to start the miner and this
config file.
Just make another start.bat file
and enter there this:
miner.exe yourfile.conf

Wait couple of minutes to see your results on pool!!!

And here it is

we are mining Monero!!!!

Wait couple of minutes to see your speed and progress on the pool!!!

Beside this you can try dual mining for CryptoNight based coins on Minergate pool.
Go to minergate.com and register an acoount.

After this go here to see all the mining addresses for this pool:

https://minergate.com/faq/what-pool-address

At the end you can see

Merged mining with FCN.

This means that beside Monero XMR you can mine and Fantom Coin FCN at once.
For now this is possible only on minergate.com

Batch file for
Claymore's CryptoNote GPU Miner v9.7
it should look something like this:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
NsGpuCNMiner.exe -o stratum+tcp://fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com:45590 -u [email protected] -p yourpasswordforloginonminergate

For Wolf's XMR GPU Miner v0.4
it should look like this:
