csminer v0.2.0 (Windows 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 the screen is locked or the screensaver is running. On a
|
|
laptop, csminer will mine only when on AC power to avoid draining the battery. It can be
|
|
configured to always mine or mine with more threads using the options described below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
USAGE
|
|
|
|
./csminer [OPTION]...
|
|
|
|
All arguments are optional:

|
|
-saver=<bool>
|
|
mine only when screen is locked or the screensaver is running (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)
|
|
-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:
|
|
|
|
Under Windows Power & Sleep settings, set "When plugged in, PC goes to
|
|
sleep after" to Never.
|
|
|
|
For best performance, if csminer reports it's unable to allocate hugepages, try restarting your
|
|
machine and starting csminer before running anything else.
|
|
|
|
Consider putting a shortcut to csminer in your Windows Startup folder (see:
|
|
https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-10/how-to-access-the-windows-10-startup-folder/) so that it starts
|
|
automatically.
|
|
|
|
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 your wallet id with the -wallet option along with your selected username, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
csminer.exe -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.exe -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.
