csminer v0.2.0 (OSX version) SYNOPSIS csminer from https://cryptonote.social is an easy-to-use CPU miner for Monero intended to provide "set it and forget it" mining for your existing laptop and desktop machines. By default, csminer mines with a single thread, and only when your screen is locked and on AC power. It can be configured to always mine or mine with more threads using the options described below. USAGE ./csminer [OPTION]... All arguments are optional: -user <string> your pool username from https://cryptonote.social/xmr (default "donate-getmonero-org") -saver=<bool> mine only when screen is locked (default true). csminer polls the OSX lock screen state every 10 seconds and should activate the miner shortly after the screen locks. -exclude <string> pause mining during the specified hours. Format is XX-YY where XX and YY are hours of the day designated in 24 hour time. For example, -exclude=11-16 will pause mining betwen 11:00am and 4:00pm. This can be used, for example, to pause mining during times of high machine usage or high electricity rates. -threads <int> number of threads (default 1) -rigid <string> your rig id (default "csminer") -config <string> advanced pool config option string, for specifying starting diff, donation percentage, email address for notifications, and more. See "advanced configuration options" under Get Started on the pool site for details. Some options will require you to also specify your wallet id (see below) in order to be changed. -wallet <string> your wallet id. You only need to specify this when establishing a new username, or if specifying a 'secure' config parameter change such as a new pool donation amount or email address. New usernames will be established upon submitting at least one valid share. Monitor your miner progress at: https://cryptonote.social/xmr, or type <p> + <enter> to display pool stats in the command shell. Tips: In Mac Energy Settings, make sure your computer is configured to stay awake while in power adapter mode. Select the Power Adapter tab, and set any "Computer sleep" slider to "Never". If present, enable the option "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off". For best performance, if csminer reports it's unable to allocate hugepages, try restarting your machine and starting csminer before running anything else. If you don't specify a username, csminer will mine on behalf of the Monero project (https://donate.getmonero.org) with earnings going directly to its wallet: 888tNkZrPN6JsEgekjMnABU4TBzc2Dt29EPAvkRxbANsAnjyPbb3iQ1YBRk1UXcdRsiKc9dhwMVgN5S9cQUiyoogDavup3H ADDITIONAL DETAILS Usernames If you don't already have a username established with the pool, you can create one by simply specifying your wallet id with the -wallet option along with your selected username, e.g.: ./csminer -user=your-chosen-username -wallet=your-wallet-id Once you've submitted at least one share, the wallet address is permanently associated with the username and you can login with the username alone, e.g.: ./csminer -user=your-chosen-username Implementation 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.
