# xmr-stak doesn't currently support the algorithm that turtlecoin uses after the 350k fork, so we can use xmrig instead | |
# xmrig is similar to xmr-stak, and some prefer it's output and config files | |
# | |
# Unfortunately it doesn't support combined gpu and cpu mining, so you have to run one instance for your nvidia/amd | |
# and another for your cpu | |
# Download links: | |
# xmrig (cpu) - https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases (You probably want xmrig-2.6.0-beta1-gcc-win64.zip if you're on windows) | |
# xmrig-nvidia - https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-nvidia/releases (You probably want xmrig-nvidia-2.5.2-cuda9-win64.zip) | |
# xmrig-amd - https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-amd/releases (You probably want xmrig-amd-2.6.0-beta1-win64.zip) | |
# You can use this pool to test if your miner will work after the swap: https://trtltest.mine2gether.com/ | |
# If you need an address to test you can use this: TESTgq1wWNG5Neezh43jCCLyKqvQhxzdhcvKoJNiZGn5LU4y6bR3wHc8dtwyYv8RmMZdB2d7kzSTWhfwLJ1xudiQ5MA9ByUhx1 | |
# This pool is running a testnet which has already passed the 350k algo change | |
# When the fork happens for real, you will need to be using your standard TRTL address and whatever pool you like to use instead | |
# Using your standard TRTL address and pool won't work with the below methods until the 350k fork occurs | |
# When mining cryptonite-lite-variant-1 you will see hashrates of roughly double your normal hashrate. | |
# You can choose to use only the command line example, only the config example, or mix and match both | |
# If you want to know more options for xmrig, start the program with the argument --help, i.e. xmrig --help | |
# Command line example | |
# | |
# If you are using windows you can put this into a batch script | |
# (Open notepad, paste this in, change type to all files, and change name to something like mine.bat, then double click to run) | |
# Note that this should all be pasted on one line, i have split it up so you can read the arguments with more ease. | |
xmrig --algo=cryptonight-lite | |
--variant=1 | |
--user=TESTgq1wWNG5Neezh43jCCLyKqvQhxzdhcvKoJNiZGn5LU4y6bR3wHc8dtwyYv8RmMZdB2d7kzSTWhfwLJ1xudiQ5MA9ByUhx1 | |
--url=trtltest.mine2gether.com:9999 | |
# Config.json example | |
# | |
# Paste this into a file called config.json | |
# If xmrig doesn't automatically find it, you can specify the config file like so: | |
# xmrig --config config.json | |
# If you want an easy startup you can put this into a batch script - follow the instructions above | |
# You may potentially need to let xmrig auto generate the config and then you can edit it later | |
# The two things you want to be editing are "algo": "cryptonight-lite" and "variant": "1" | |
