XmrigOnAndroid

You have 2 options to compile xmrig on android, one is to compile directly in termux with clang without hwloc since the library is missing in termux.

The second is to install a linux distribution running on andoid and compile with GCC and hwloc. Termux by default uses Clang to compile.

In my testing, both work well on all algorithms except ghostrider. Building in termux without hwloc results in a large number of rejected shares. (Approximately 66% rejects on ghostrider in my tests)

Unless you want to mine with ghostrider algorithm, termux works fine.

You can also compile moneroocean's fork of xmrig. See Mo-xmrig

Compiling xmrig with Clang in termux:

1. Install termux on your device:

Link to termux repository: https://github.com/termux/termux-app/ You can get the apk from releases and install it.

2. Download the script to compile xmrig and run it:

apt install curl -y && curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HighVoltage557/XmrigOnAndroid/main/compileintermux.sh | bash

This script will compile xmrig and will place the built xmrig executable in the directory xmrig/build

3. To run xmrig:

cd && cd xmrig/build && ./xmrig -a Algorithm_Name -o pool:port -u Wallet_Address -p Password

3.1) If you want to use the config, which has many additional features, Go to https://xmrig.com/wizard generate the config and paste the config in a file named config.json in xmrig/build

3.1.2) Then to run xmrig if you're using the config:

cd && cd xmrig/build && ./xmrig

Setup script and instructions for building xmrig on Ubuntu on android with GCC. Setup instructions as follows:

1. Install Ubuntu on your android device using an app UserLAnd:

Link to UserLand repository: https://github.com/CypherpunkArmory/UserLAnd

1.1) Open the app, agree/disagree with data collection, give permisson to write data

1.2) Click on Ubuntu, follow on screen instructions and enter username and password

1.3) It will install Ubuntu and start a terminal session. Enter password to login

2. Download the script to compile xmrig and run it:

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt install curl -y && curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HighVoltage557/XmrigOnAndroid/main/compile.sh | bash

This script will compile xmrig and will place the built xmrig executable in the directory xmrig/build

3. To run xmrig:

cd && cd xmrig/build && sudo ./xmrig -a Algorithm_Name -o pool:port -u Wallet_Address -p Password

3.1) If you want to use the config (reccomended), which has many additional features, Go to https://xmrig.com/wizard generate the config and paste the config in a file named config.json in xmrig/build

3.1.2) Then to run xmrig if you're using the config:

cd && cd xmrig/build && sudo ./xmrig

Compiling Moneroocean's fork xmrig

A brief description of moneroocean:

Moneroocean is a monero mining pool where you can mine altcoins and get paid in XMR. Their fork of xmrig runs a benchmark, stores the hashrate of several algorithms which are in xmrig and mines whichever is the most profitable.

When the pool finds a block, it is exchanged to XMR and you get paid for your raw hashrate converted to equivalent XMR hashrate.

Github Repository: https://github.com/moneroocean/xmrig

Since xmrig version 6.16.x, the pool supports ghostrider and ghostrider fails during the benchmark with termux due to missing libraries, so, you need to install Ubuntu on top of android.

1. Install Ubuntu on your android device using an app UserLAnd:

Link to UserLand repository: https://github.com/CypherpunkArmory/UserLAnd

1.1) Open the app, agree/disagree with data collection, give permisson to write data

1.2) Click on Ubuntu, follow on screen instructions and enter username and password

1.3) It will install Ubuntu and start a terminal session. Enter password to login

2. Download the script to compile xmrig and run it:

sudo apt install curl -y && curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HighVoltage557/XmrigOnAndroid/main/compilemoxmrig.sh | bash

This script will compile xmrig and will place the built xmrig executable in the directory xmrig/build

3. To run MO xmrig:

3.1) Go to https://xmrig.com/wizard generate the config and paste the config in a file named config.json in xmrig/build

(You need to do this only once after compiling, preferably use TLS)

The config is needed for storing the algorithm's hashrate after the benchmark. If you don't use the config, it will benchmark each time it runs which can take a couple of minutes to finish and the config has more features than using CLI arguments directly.

3.2) Then to run xmrig:

cd && cd xmrig/build && sudo ./xmrig
