Greetings gentlemen,
This is the thread about
monero.crypto-pool.fr, a large Monero mining pool that aim to the most effective pool for mining Monero.
It is based on the open source node-cryptonote-pool by zone117x and LucasJones and improved by the pool admin.
I am in charge of the support and communication.
The features are the same than most Monero mining pool except :
High EfficiencyBeing more optimized than standard pools allow us to find more blocks than average and give better payout to miners. The Pool Efficiency is displayed on the main page.
Ultra StabilityConnection is stabilized through multiple instances of bitmonerod process that can auto-restart without interrupting mining.
Advanced Payment SystemYou know exactly what's going on, how much is left to pay and what has been paid. We also keep track of all payments to ensure we paid everyone.
Core Devs Donationmonero.crypto-pool.fr donnate 10% of our earnings for core devs. Fees will be taken from the 2% pool fees and not from miners.

https://mymonero.com/#/Check the
Monero thread for the latest updates and ask specific questions about the wallet.
Check the Monero GUI thread for the latest updates and ask specific questions about the GUI wallet. The latest GUI wallet I know can be found here.Always backup
MINE WITH CPUCheck the
Wolf's CPUMiner thread for the latest updates and ask specific questions about the CPU miner.
Download and extract the miner files somewhere. I recommend having all the monero files in the same folder.
Create a
batch file or a command line to use in
command prompt.
The command is :
C:\path_to_minerd\minerd.exe -a cryptonight -o
stratum+tcp://xmr.crypto-pool.fr:6666 -u
your_monero_addressMost of the time you need "C:\
path_to_minerd\minerd.exe" but sometimes just putting "minerd" is enough.
You can chose different port to mine at :
3333 for low end hardware
6666 for normal hardware
7777 for killer machine (be careful, if the pool get over 45% of the network, miners from this port may be redirected to smaller pool for network safety)
If you need a HTTP connection, please PM me.
your_monero_address need to be generated from your own wallet and not from an exchange
options :
-t 2 : mine with 2 threads
-R 1 : retry every second if connexion failed
-D : debug mode that display more informations
-h : display minerd help
MINE WITH GPUCheck the
Claymore GPU Miner thread for the latest updates and ask specific questions about the ATI GPU miner.
Check the tsiv ccminer-cryptonight GIT for the latest release of the NVIDIA miner. The general ccMiner thread for questions is here.Check this tutorial for updated links about NVIDIA GPU mining :
[XMR] Tutorial: How to compile your mining software on Linux ?Download and extract the miner files somewhere. I recommend having all the monero files in the same folder.
Create a
batch file or a command line to use in
command prompt.
The command for Claymore is :
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
C:\path_to_miner\NsGpuCNMiner.exe -o
stratum+tcp://xmr.crypto-pool.fr:6666 -u
your_monero_address -p x
The command for ccMiner is :
C:\path_to_miner\ccminer.exe -l 8x64 -o
stratum+tcp://xmr.crypto-pool.fr:6666 -u
your_monero_address -p x
Most of the time you need "C:\
path_to_miner\NsGpuCNMiner.exe" but sometimes just putting "NsGpuCNMiner" is enough.

Upcoming plansRelaunch the pool and become number one.
