Xmr Linux Mining Tutorial

1. Acquire sub-account

In order to earn xmr, one must mine to a sub-account. Head over to https://www.apool.top to finish email registration.

Apool will allocate a sub-account automatically under your name. Check out your sub-account name in 'My miners' page.

2. Download the mining software

Download link：https://github.com/apool-io/xmrminer/releases

Extract the file with the comand：

tar zxf apoolminer_linux_xmr_v3.2.0.tar.gz

3. Modify the configuration file miner.conf and change the account to your own.

4.apoolminer miner.conf Parameter Description

Param

Description

algo=<qubic/aleo>

Specify algorithm, default configuration is qubic , Required

account=<string>

Specify your sub-account(CP_xxx) in pool mining or Specify your wallet address in solo mining, Required

pool=<url:port>

Specify the proxy address, Required in pool mining

solo=<url:port>

Specify the proxy address, Required in solo mining

worker=<name>

Specify the worker name. The name consists of numbers and letters and cannot exceed 15 characters in length

gpu=<indexes>

Specify the index of GPU. If you’re only running on specific GPUs, please spell out explicitly, example: gpu=0,1,2, If you run all GPUs, you don’t need to configure them.

thread=<num>

Specify the number of CPU thread [default: 0, use all threads]

cpu-off=<true/false>

If you don’t want to use CPU, please configure it to True.

gpu-off=<true/false>

If you don’t want to use GPU, please configure it to True.

xmr-gpu-off=<true/false>

If you don't want to use the GPU during XMR mining time, please set this option to True.

xmr-cpu-off=<true/false>

If you don't want to use the CPU during XMR mining time, please set this option to True.

xmr-thread=<num>

Number of CPU threads to use during XMR mining time

no-cpu-affinity = true

If the default configuration does not fully utilize the CPU for XMR mining, you can optimize performance by manually specifying the number of XMR threads.

Configuration file example

Configuration files for mining with CPU only

algo=xmr
account=CP_XXX
pool=xmr.asia.apool.io:4334

worker = my_worker
#cpu-off = true
#thread = 4
gpu-off = true
#gpu = 0,1,2

Connect using 1GB pages mode

algo=xmr

#worker = my_worker
#cpu-off = true
#thread = 1
#gpu-off = true
#gpu = 0,1,2
#xmr-gpu-off = true
#xmr-cpu-off = true
#xmr-thread = 1
