XMRig is a high performance Monero (XMR) CPU miner, with official support for Windows. Originally based on cpuminer-multi with heavy optimizations/rewrites and removing a lot of legacy code, since version 1.0.0 completely rewritten from scratch on C++.
- This is the CPU-mining version, there is also a NVIDIA GPU version and AMD GPU version.
- Roadmap for next releases.

Use config.xmrig.com to generate, edit or share configurations.
-a, --algo=ALGO specify the algorithm to use
cryptonight
cryptonight-lite
cryptonight-heavy
-o, --url=URL URL of mining server
-O, --userpass=U:P username:password pair for mining server
-u, --user=USERNAME username for mining server
-p, --pass=PASSWORD password for mining server

-v, --av=N algorithm variation, 0 auto select
-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

-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-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
Also you can use configuration via config file, default name config.json. Some options available only via config file: autosave, hw-aes. watch option currently not implemented in miners only in proxy.
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 |
- Run XMRig as Administrator.
- Since version 0.8.0 XMRig automatically enables SeLockMemoryPrivilege for current user, but reboot or sign out still required. Manual instruction.
- No HTTP support, only stratum protocol support.
- Default donation 5% (5 minutes in 100 minutes) can be reduced to 1% via option
donate-level.
- Intel i7-7700 - 307 H/s (4 threads)
- AMD Ryzen 7 1700X - 560 H/s (8 threads)
Please note performance is highly dependent on system load. The numbers above are obtained on an idle system. 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).
