# Xmr Windows 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.&#x20;

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

&#x20;**2. Download the mining software**

* download link：<https://github.com/apool-io/xmrminer/releases>

3. **Open the file folder and get the following files**
4. **Right click on the "start" and edit the startup script.**

there are three mining mode to choose from: cpu, gpu, all（cpu+gpu）![](/files/rPVxk4vRx5aPq1TlrmEa)

**Configuration file example**

* Configuration files for mining with CPU only

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

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

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://apool.gitbook.io/help/xmr-pool-tutorial/xmr-windows-mining-tutorial.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
