The original XMRig repository now supports the UPX2 algorithm, and thus this repository will no longer be maintained. Please see:
!Added support for Uplexa (cn/upx2 algorithm)
XMRig-UPX is a high performance uPlexa (UPX) CPU miner, with official support for Windows and Linux. 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++.
- use cryptonight-upx/1 for UPX variant 1
- use cryptonight-upx/2 for UPX variant 2 (or use cryptonight-upxtwo)
- use cryptonight-upx will revert to variant 1, post hardfork upx v1 will be deprecated
- Autoswitching from v1 to v2 will not work due to memory changes

Also you can use configuration via config file, default name config.json.
avoption used for automatic and simple threads mode (when you specify only threads count).

- Run XMRig as Administrator.
- No HTTP support, only stratum protocol support.
- 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).
