-k, --keepalive send keepalived packet for prevent timeout (needs pool support)
--nicehash enable nicehash.com support
--tls enable SSL/TLS support (needs pool support)
--tls-fingerprint=F pool TLS certificate fingerprint, if set enable strict certificate pinning
-r, --retries=N number of times to retry before switch to backup server (default: 5)
-R, --retry-pause=N time to pause between retries (default: 5)
--cpu-affinity set process affinity to CPU core(s), mask 0x3 for cores 0 and 1
--cpu-priority set process priority (0 idle, 2 normal to 5 highest)
--no-huge-pages disable huge pages support
--no-color disable colored output
--variant algorithm PoW variant
--user-agent set custom user-agent string for pool
-B, --background run the miner in the background
-c, --config=FILE load a JSON-format configuration file
-l, --log-file=FILE log all output to a file
-S, --syslog use system log for output messages
--max-cpu-usage=N maximum CPU usage for automatic threads mode (default 75)
--safe safe adjust threads and av settings for current CPU
--asm=ASM ASM code for cn/2, possible values: auto, none, intel, ryzen.
--print-time=N print hashrate report every N seconds
--api-port=N port for the miner API
--api-access-token=T access token for API
--api-worker-id=ID custom worker-id for API
--api-id=ID custom instance ID for API
--api-ipv6 enable IPv6 support for API
--api-no-restricted enable full remote access (only if API token set)
--dry-run test configuration and exit
-h, --help display this help and exit
-V, --version output version information and exit
In this example, we are:
- Using the highest CPU priority
--cpu-priority 5 - Using 4 CPU threads
--threads 4 - Using keepalive for TCP packets to prevent a timeout
--keepalive - Connecting to the official X-CASH mining pool
--url minexcash.com:3333 - Mining using "YOUR_XCASH_XCA_OR_XCB_ADDRESS" (replace YOUR_XCASH_XCA_OR_XCB_ADDRESS with your address)
--user YOUR_XCASH_XCA_OR_XCB_ADDRESS - Using a password of YOUR_MINING_COMPUTER_NAME (replace YOUR_MINING_COMPUTER_NAME with any name for your mining computer)
--pass YOUR_MINING_COMPUTER_NAME
./XCASH_CPU_Miner --cpu-priority 5 --threads 4 --keepalive --url minexcash.com:3333 --user YOUR_XCASH_XCA_OR_XCB_ADDRESS --pass YOUR_MINING_COMPUTER_NAME
avoption used for automatic and simple threads mode (when you specify only threads count).- For advanced threads mode each thread configured individually and
avoption not used.
| av | Hashes per round | Hardware AES |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 (Single) | yes |
| 2 | 2 (Double) | yes |
| 3 | 1 (Single) | no |
| 4 | 2 (Double) | no |
| 5 | 3 (Triple) | yes |
| 6 | 4 (Quard) | yes |
| 7 | 5 (Penta) | yes |
| 8 | 3 (Triple) | no |
| 9 | 4 (Quard) | no |
| 10 | 5 (Penta) | no |

Create a build folder and build the program
Replace PREBUILT_DEPENDENCIES_DIRECTORY with the directory location of the prebuilt dependencies
cd XCASH_CPU_Miner && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DXMRIG_DEPS=PREBUILT_DEPENDENCIES_DIRECTORY && cmake --build . --config Release
If you get errors about redefintion of structs you might need to build without HTTPD and TLS (meaning the API and TSL will not work)
cd XCASH_CPU_Miner && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DXMRIG_DEPS=PREBUILT_DEPENDENCIES_DIRECTORY -DWITH_HTTPD=OFF -DWITH_TLS=OFF && cmake --build . --config Release
- Run as Administrator.
- No HTTP support, only stratum protocol support.
- Default donation is 0%
It will be roughly around half of what you were mining at with Cryptonight V8 X-CASH
Please note performance is highly dependent on system load. Tasks heavily using a processor cache, such as video playback, can greatly degrade hashrate. Optimal number of threads depends on the size of the L3 cache of a processor, 1 thread requires 2 MB of cache.
- Idle operating system.
- Do not exceed optimal thread count.
- Use modern CPUs with AES-NI instruction set.
- Try setup optimal cpu affinity.
- Enable fast memory (Large/Huge pages).
