csminer v0.1.0 (Linux/Gnome 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 Gnome dims the screen. 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 dimmed (default true)
  -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")
  -tls <bool>
        whether to use TLS when connecting to the pool (default false)
  -start_diff <int>
        starting difficulty value for the pool

Monitor your miner progress at: https://cryptonote.social/xmr, or type <p> + <enter> to display
pool stats in the command shell.

Tips:

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:

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Usernames

If you don't already have a username established with the pool, you can create one by simply
specifying -user=your-wallet-id.your-chosen-username, e.g.:

./csminer -user=888tNkZrPN6JsEgekjMnABU4TBzc2Dt29EPAvkRxbANsAnjyPbb3iQ1YBRk1UXcdRsiKc9dhwMVgN5S9cQUiyoogDavup3H.donate-monero-org

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=get-monero-org

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.
