PeerHash - Windows GUI for XMR (Monero Mining)What is PeerHash ?PeerHash is a GUI that simplifies the download and configuration of XMR mining
What Shouldn't I Mine By Myself ?Using PeerHash gives you the advantage of additional hashes by other PeerHash users. Approximately every 15 minutes an XMR address is randomly selected and all PeerHash GUIs will mine for that address for approximately 7 minutes.
What Miner does PeerHash use ?Current version (v0.015) uses XMRIG CPU miner. XMRIG is downloaded directly from the GitHub repository.
Is it Compatible with the April 6 Monero Fork ?Yes it is
Does it Use a Pool ?Currently using Dwarf XMR Pool
Can You Still Earn XMR Coin Using a CPU ?Yes you can and PeerHash accelerates that by leveraging other PeerHash user's mining power. Earnings have increased after fork.
Will My Virus Scanner Squeal When I Download PeerHash and the Miner ?Very likely. Don't run PeerHash on a machine containing important documents, images etc. Isolate your your mining from your essential computers whether they are personal or work computers. We run PeerHash on a gaming rig - easily rebuilt and no loss whether it's a software or hardware issue. You will likely need to run PeerHash with antivirus off.
Do You Have a Unix/Linux Version ?Sorry Windows app only
Can You Run PeerHash on a Virtual Machine ?Yes, instructions here:
