SYNOPSIS

mines with a single thread, and only when your screen is locked. It can be configured to always

csminer utilizes the RandomX implementation from https://github.com/tevador/RandomX and will
perform similarly to other mining software based on this library such as xmrig. It will attempt to
use hugepages if available, so for optimal performance confirm hugepages is enabled on your
machine. If hugepages is enabled but the miner reports it's unable to allocate them, try restarting
your machine.
Windows version: csminer for Windows monitors session notifications for session lock messages and
should activate the miner whenever the screen is locked.
Mac/OSX version: csminer for OSX polls the lock screen state every 10 seconds and should activate
the miner shortly after the screen locks. Confirm you have selected "prevent the computer from
sleeping" in Energy Saver settings so the computer can mine while connected to power.
Linux/Gnome version: csminer for Linux monitors Gnome screensaver events, and should activate the miner
whenever the screen "dims".
use hugepages if available. If hugepages is enabled but the miner reports it's unable to allocate
them, try restarting your machine and starting csminer before running anything else.
