XMR-STAK-RX – This release only supports RandomX variants. This is the first bug-fix release for xmr-stak-rx. There is no dev fee of any kind.
AMD GPUs under linux require the AMD driver, ROCm is not supported. NVIDIA GPUs require CUDA 9.0 or newer. The minimum required amount of main memory on a GPU and/or CPU is ~3GiB.
ChangeLog:
v1.0.4
CPU: numa support/better autoconfig
randomx linux booster script
add warning for MSR changes
Implement Ryzen speedups
Implement Windows WRMSR
v1.0.1
Correct authors of RandomX mining code
fix hwloc warning
fix ignored tls on first start
fix miner benchmark mode
NVIDIA: fix auto adjustment
XMR-STAK-RX Setup
Pre-fork instructions
… helps to switch from Monero cryptonight_r to randomX automatically during the fork. rx-switcher is killing all xmr-stak instances on your system and starts automatically xmr-stak-rx as soon as the Monero network is forking to the POW randomX. ATTENTION: If you are using xmr-stak instances to mine other coins those instances will be closed too.
This is what you must do:
unzip the pre-compiled binaries into a new folder (do not reuse your old xmr-stak folders)
keep your old version of xmr-stak running on Monero
copy the files config.txt and pools.txt from 2. to the folder from 1. where rx-switcher and xmr-stak-rx is located
change the currency in pools.txt to "currency" : "randomx",
do NOT copy cpu.txt, nvidia.tx or amd.txt, due to new memory requirements for randomX you must generate new config files to avoid that the miner crashes on the first start.
run rx-switcher
as soon as the Monero network is forking xmr-stak will be stopped and xmr-stak-rx will automatically start
after the network forked we suggest to start xmr-stak-rx directly and not use `rx-switcher anymore
If you do not like to mine Monero/RandomX after the fork with your GPU start xmr-stak-rx once before the fork and let the miner create the amd.txt and/or nvidia.txt configurations. Edit both files and set "gpu_threads_conf" : [ ], to disable the gpus.
XMR-Stak is a universal open source stratum pool miner. This miner supports x86-64 CPUs, AMD and NVIDIA GPUs and can be used various crypto currencies: Ryo, Monero, Turtlecoin, Graft, Bittube, Loki, Aeon and many more Cryptonight coins.
