Installation
Download The Miner here and extract the archive to any folder.
Configuration
At first launch Xmrig will configure itself, you will just need to enter your data like wallet address etc.
To change configuration, open config.json file and replace the values "YOUR_WALLET.YOUR_WORKER/YOUR_EMAIL":
- YOUR_WALLET - your valid Monero address.
- YOUR_WORKER_NAME - simple short worker name (like worker01). Optional.
- YOUR_EMAIL - your email address for notifications. Optional.
Since 11/30/2019 addresses with payment ID became invalid - you can't receive or send transaction with this address.
Important: XMRig automatic algorithm detection does not work with Nanopool. You need to install the algorithm manually.
You need to open config.json file and setup parameter "rx/0" in "algo" line like it shown on screenshot bellow:
