How to mine MONERO by your CPU easy way?!!

---

---

---

---

With the rise in the price of XMR, it looks more appeal to start using your CPU for mineing MONERO and of course, we choice XMR because it is the most profitable coin you can mine by your CPU nowadays.

---

First, you need a MONERO wallet to receive your coins at its address, you can choose from :

MyMonero: MyMonero is an online wallet

Monero GUI Wallet (beta2): and this one is my choice cause it is on the middle ground you can easily send and receive coins with it and safer than the online one.

Offline wallet generator: and from its name you can know it is an offline wallet for
long-term storing.

And this is a sample for the Monero GUI Wallet (beta2) and how its look like:-

---

---

---

---

---

---

And in this stage the wallet is downloading the BLOCKCHAIN of MONERO coin on your hard disk.

---

---

And for solo mining you can use this future in the MONERO wallet itself:

you can not start using this future until the wallet finish downloading the BLOCKCHAIN.

---

---

---

---

You will fined your address hear.

---

---

---

---

It is now the time to Pick a miner for CPU, and there are two miners and more but I will present the most used ones and the one I use and work very well.
xmr-stak-cpu: this is the one I choice cause it gives the highest hash rate for your CPU.
wolf-xmr-miner: will knowen CPU miner

And I will present the configuration method I used in the xmr-stak-cpu Miner.

-First of all when you download xmr-stak-cpu from the link provided above that you download this one:-

---

---

After unzipping the file you will be presented with a folder inclouds 4 files like this.>

---

---

---

Now we will configure our miner to point it to our pool and wallet,
you will go to the -- config.txt -- file and press the right click, then choosing edit like in the below pic.

---

---

---

And this is what will show in the -- config.txt -- file.

---

---

---

In these lines, we will configure the CPU threads we want to be utilized by the miner.

---

---

---

You can choose how many threads from your CPU can be used by the miner by writing this code in the config.txt file as shown in the pic, below :

the code:-

 */
"cpu_threads_conf" :
[
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 0 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 2 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 4 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 6 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 8 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 10 },
{ "low_power_mode" : false, "no_prefetch" : true, "affine_to_cpu" : 1 },
],
/*

And this code makes the miner use only 7 threads from my CPU.

---

---

---

---

---

And now let's start with the most important part, the data that will point the miner to the right direction, the pool you will mine in and the wallet you want to receive your coins in and the finally your password.

Please let the pics. guide you through where you will put your code and info.

---

---

This is an example of the code and it is accurate if you will use the pool I will recommend in the coming lines, and of course, you will put your wallet address instead of -- "YOUR WALLET ADDRESS" -- phrase in the code. just for reminding.

*/
"pool_address" : "pool.supportxmr.com:5555",
"wallet_address" : "YOUR WALLET ADDRESS",
"pool_password" : "x",

/*

---

---

My pool of choice and recommendation is -- supportxmr.com -- MONERO mining pool because it is one of the most profitable and stable MONERO mining pools now.in my opinion.

---

---

---

---

---

---

---

And this is the basic setup for mining MONERO by your CPU , if you want more spesific configeration for your needs you can find it at:( https://supportxmr.com/#/help/getting_started ).

-And to start your miner after configuration you will press double click on-- xmr-stak-cpu.exe -- file.

---

---

---

---

this window will appear and Wala it is running if you want to know your hash rate just press the letter -- h -- and it will show like in the pic below.

This is the End of this tutorial thank you for reading.

Thanks to you all.
And have a nice day.
