XMR-STAK-RX 1.0.5 - Free Monero RandomX Miner

This release adds mining support of 2 new currencies. Their aliases are keva and safex respectively. If you are planning to mine a coin that has same algo: use randomx_keva and randomx_safex in pools.txt or in "currency to mine" setup parameter. Xmr-Stak-RX 1.0.5 is also now up to date with newest xmrig.

Since GPUs have no sense in RandomX mining compared to CPUs - we disabled it in Xmr-Stak-RX build. If you wish to mine GPU coins (Like Ryo with Cryptonight-GPU): use Xmr-Stak build.

Quote from: ?? on ??

Do such miners really work? I don't have confidence in this kind of thing, because I've tried several of them and either it just didn't work, or it turned out to be a scam. I want to find a good bitcoin miner to make it work, but it's very difficult to trust the people who publish them. A lot of people want to make money by cheating. Six months ago, my friend managed to find a good and free bitcoin mining due to which he managed to earn a lot of bitcoins, but his hard drive broke and he lost data from that miner. But it's worth noting that if the miner is working, it really brings a lot of bitcoins

IDK whats up with that URL you inserted, but im not going to click it.

This miner app is clean and real.

The source is open and available to compile yourself if you do not trust it.

Your choice.

Hi guys, are there any updates from the dev team?
/r/XmrStak seems to have last release update pretty while ago?

Anyways now i am stuck with what you gave told me -: I have also done a file search for "config.json" but i do not see this file in relation to Monero or Bitmonero.

This is XMRig's config file, you can find it in XMRig folder or generate using xmrig.com/wizard

Thank you for your help , it was straight forward after your config generation explanation, so i managed to mine now using XMrig.
i have received some odd messages about firewall and not receiving data ....on the monerod window... but i guess its because of a flakey network.
I just restarted the daemon and the miner windows and they working fine

I will see if i can figure out how to show more verbose information maybe on the daemon side.

Is it 100% free, I mean there must be some hidden fees? XMrig has 1% but it is actually 2%. So wanna confirm if it is not the same as these fees.

there are no fees (besides pool that will take 1% or so - but it is not Xmr-Stak-RX jurisdiction). The code of the miner is open-sourced on github, and everyone is free to check it.

HI and thank you for your reply,
I have run my wallet and it is completely synched now, it only took 5 days to do, really crazy.
Anyways so i know for example, when I used to mine Bitsend or Chainlink you would run the wallet and synch the blockchain fully, and then you would find inside %appdata% normally the folder pertaning to the coin and then a chainlink.conf or bitsend.conf... u would have the general settings in there like:

rpcuser=chainuser
rpcpassword=chainpass
rpcallowip=192.168.1.2
bind=127.0.0.1
rpcport=19711
rpcconect=192.168.1.2

server=1
listen=1
daemon=1

Anyways now i am stuck with what you gave told me -: I have also done a file search for "config.json" but i do not see this file in relation to Monero or Bitmonero.

I can see:

Does anybody know how to mine solo against Monero wallet , on the command line using XMR-STAK-RX or XMRig please?
Monero.conf <- not sure what to put in this file.

I would like to mine outside of the wallet because the wallet is not as fast as XMRig or XMR-STAK-RX as im sure many know.

Only XMRig can do this. And you mine solo against Monero node, not wallet. You just need to set

Code:

"daemon":true,

and

Code:

"url":"your_node_ip:18081",

in config.json

Might be difficult to confirm as one could implement a dev fee using the same pool as yours and hide it.
Honestly, the best way is to compare two rigs revenue over a few days.

Is it possible to mine monero with GPUs by using this miner (xmr-stak-rx)?

technically yes - it supports gpu mining. But this (randomx) algo is worthless on GPUs. Check Cryptonight-GPU algo that was designed for it - it is better and more fair.

Are there any manual settings required for this miner?

not much, when you start the miner, it will ask few questions (pool, coin and wallet address) and generates all configs after the first start. If you wish - you can tweak some parameters in them, anyway

I'm still mining Monero on my computers, with xmr-stak-rx. It is free and doesn't have any dev fee as other miners. If miners doesn't want to mess with command lines then xmr-stak-rx is the best choice.

Good to see a free miner for RandomX coins, what about hashrate? Is it also help to improve hashrate?

Any compares, checks for that miner with others?

You can compare it with Xmrig which has 1% dev fee and when it comes to performance xmr-stak-rx is bit better than that in speed and efficiency and the best thing it is fully free there is no 1% dev fee and you don't have to mess with command lines if you mine with xmr-stak-rx.

0% dev fee is good, is it also better in performance as compared to Xmrig?
