A subreddit for discussions about Monero (XMR) mining.

Welcome to /r/MoneroMining!

Please read the following rules before posting.

Rules

  1. No "FOR SALE" posts. Feel free to hawk your wares in /r/MoneroMarket or on Openbazaar - this means no group buys either. As common as it is in Bitcoin Mining, it is far too risky to be carried out over reddit.
  2. No verbal abuse. Refrain from aggressive wording or looking down on others. Respect that others may have different opinions than you. You are welcome to address these comments in a civil way. Remember, we were all newbies once. Be excellent to each other! :)
  3. No Referral Links or Codes. No Amazon/eBay referral links. No mining pool referral links. No mining contract referral links. No referral links or codes, period.
  4. No Promoting New Altcoins. If there is a new alt coin out, this is not the place to discuss or promote it. If you have questions about mining that altcoin, feel free to ask as long as it is also somehow relevant to Monero.
  5. No short-URLs. URL-shortener services serve no use on Reddit as there is nothing restricting the size of your comment string. Please link directly to code releases and announcements. Do not post links to blogs, Twitter, and other intermediary sources if possible. We may ask you to repost.
  6. No begging. Do not ask for other people to mine for your address. Do not beg for donations simply for lending a helping hand.
  7. No shilling. 0-day/unverified accounts aren't allowed to promote anything.

Guidelines

  1. Anybody caught violating the rules will be banned. If you notice somebody abusing the subreddit rules, please report the comment/post and/or message the moderators.
  2. All members of the MoneroMining subreddit are expected to read and follow the Official Reddit Rules as well as the informal Reddiquette guidelines.
  3. Likewise, all moderators of this subreddit follow the Modiquette.
  4. Pool operators are allowed to announce their pool once, then only are allowed to post about significant updates. Significant updates should happen approximately once a month or less.
  5. Now that all that is out of the way, we work hard to make this a welcoming, collaborative atmosphere. Feel free to ask questions, even if you think they are stupid. We encourage you to check out the Wiki first.

Xmrig config how to set higher difficulty?

In https://p2pool.io/mini/#help the Miner software tab we read:

"To set custom fixed difficulty for your miner (for example, 10000), run ./xmrig -u x+10000 -o 127.0.0.1:3333"

Can this be set somehow in the config.json file?

Do I have to remember to enter the value 10000 every time at startup?

How can I mine during certain hours with XMRig?

Let's say I want to my computer to mine from 1 AM to 7 AM, how do I set up XMRig to mine during those hours and stop for the rest of the day? I just want to open XMRig and forget about it, not having to open and close it everytime. Thank you

P2pool I don't see share in P2Pool observer

I did according to https://p2pool.io/#help

I just don't know if there is any tag with the p2pool node, I don't know if it was synchronized.

Because when I turn on xmrig, it digs and shows some hashrate.

But in P2Pool observer I don't see anything after entering the address.

How difficulty works

Let's just pick a random block, for example, https://p2pool.io/explorer/block/3140855

Its PoW hash is 22ff8eae534e9b04c4d4bea6a9b35f6257242db8cf3927ed26c9960100000000 and difficulty is 247813602161.

How it's calculated that the PoW hash satisfies the difficulty? What's the math?

learning with others

went from 3000 H/S to 5000 H/S to 25 KH/S not bad for 4 1070s Nvidias. I still need to set up the third worker. Definitely a big difference after learning about benchmarking.

Thanks for the free server time DigitalOcean!

It's nice to have some free server (2 months or 100$) time that isn't generating heat or consuming electricity in my house!

4 vCPU's, 8GB, the virtualization hurts a bit since it throws the MSR error 😒

Had anyone ever managed to somehow find a block solo under 5kH?

I mine solo at night without the expectation of ever receiving anything, just to contribute to the network with what's available to me, but I'm curious as to if anyone has actually ever won this lottery? If so, how long did it take you?

Auto re establish mining protocol and connection

Is there a way to make my miner reconnect and start the miner back up without me having to tell it everytime? It stops mining after every 7 hours.

Getting about 1.5 kh/s on AMD Threadripper Pro 7995wx 96 cores

I'm going bananas here. I've got a Windows Dell tower 7875 with AMD Threadripper Pro 7995wx 96 cores but I'm only getting about 1.5 kh/s. I'm going bananas cause I can get almost 7 kh/s for a precision workstation.

Benchmark says I should be getting about 100k kh/s. I'm either missing something or my configs aren't right.

I've run GUI and command lines and still the same thing.

Any help much appreciated!

I've setup, my raspberry pi 4 miner, how do I make it autorun or run without a need of my laptop?

So I got it to work, not seeing any xrp yet, but since I run the terminal in my laptop, which I need for work in the office in a different location. How do I make it mine without the need of my laptop?

The start on startup seems nice but often when I get up I just go to sleep from the tiring day

Edit: forgot to mention I'm new with raspberry pi and this is my 1st project

Is HiveOS OK to use?

I have about 7 miners and they run a mix of Linux and windows and it's a pita to remote in and stop them, update etc. Is HiveOS gtg? I've read up on it some and some possible issues are hive runs behind on xmrig updates and takes the 1% donations. Is this true and can I update things on my own? I mine to p2pool and want to help the network but also make it as easy as possible.

My 7945hx laptop's power consumption didn't meet my expectation

My laptop's full mining rate is around 18kH/s. The laptop CPU power consumption is around 110-115W, but when I measure the real-time power consumption of the power adapter with a power meter, the whole machine consumes 175-190W. I'm running the Win11 operating system. I suspect that the GPU may be consuming around 40-50W during mining. Is my guess reasonable? Are there any ways to optimize power consumption while mining monero?

Auditing of Mining Pools - Correct Payouts

Has anyone audited the mining pools to ensure the payouts are correct?

E.G. the pool should pay out 95% of the value of the coins earned keeping 5% as a mining fee but in fact the pool only pays out 70% of the value of the coins earned.

Is there any way of checking the payouts are correct for a given hash rate contributed to a pool?

Increasing my hashrate using XMRig

I just installed at new processor and memory:
i9 14900k 36MB Cache WIN11, 64 GB DDR4 3600MHZ Memory

What do I change in my Json to take advantage of my full system. Already run as administrator. Nothing else is running on the PC. Task Manager shows using 62% of CPU and 15% of memory. Thanks in advance.

7950x constant max temps

Greetings, just wondering if anybody is running your cpu at a constant 82’C 24/7 which im currently at, I’m getting 23.8 - 24kh stable at the moment and I like to keep it this way. I do care about my hardware’s longevity but I also do believe with the proper care and cooling most cpu would last even when if it runs at 85’C 24/7. Appreciate your opinions on whether if it’s a good idea to run at 82’C and if so, guesstimate how long would the 7950x will last at this temp.

A lil info of my hardware specs:

  • 7950x
  • Corsair A115 tower cooler with thermal grizzly kryonaut extreme

Improving Hashrate (new miner)

Hey everyone, 
I finally set up my node and got into mining with the help of the community from my last post. 
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/176tbtt/will_my_pc_be_able_to_run_a_xmr_node_mining_noob/

I am currently mining on 6 cores with around 4000 H/s. 
I have a feeling that these are rocky numbers, so I wanted to ask what I can do to increase hashrate. 
When starting the log showed that I'm not mining in MSR MOD. What does this mean? 

On a side note, I'm mining with p2pool and left my PC running for 24 hours straight and have not received any reward. I don't know if my hashrate is too low or if I did something wrong, but I would have thought 24 hours of mining would have gotten me at least something in the last digits just to see if it's actually working. 

I'm happy about any form of input from you guys! Thanks in advance :)

Edit:
Just closed and restarted xmrig, i now see results on my pool when searching for my wallet.

Cake Wallet Swap, Question

Cake Wallet, as the current on-ramp mechanism is exceedingly suboptimal. I recently executed a conversion of $200 worth of Solana into $150 worth of Monero, incurring a fee of $50, which I find to be exorbitant. While this is marginally less egregious than the fees associated with Bitcoin—where a transfer of $200 worth of BTC to my Cake Wallet would have resulted in a $60 fee— YIKES! How do I add to the liquidity pool for SOL-XMR on Cake? Any pointers or advice is appreciated, I would like a cut of those fees.
