Official binaries are available for Windows, +Linux, macOS and FreeBSD. + +Mining Backends: +* CPU (x64/ARMv7/ARMv8) +* OpenCL for AMD GPUs +(CUDA for NVIDIA GPUs requires an external CUDA plugin "xmrig-cuda" +as a dependency; for the time being, you will have to compile this +yourself) + +Usage: +The preferred way to configure the miner is the JSON config file, +as it is more flexible and human friendly. The command line interface +does not cover all features, such as mining profiles for different +algorithms. Important options can be changed during runtime without +miner restart by editing the config file or executing API calls. + +Config File: +An online wizard (located at https://xmrig.com/wizard) can be used +to help create an initial configuration for the miner. The resulting +config file must be placed as either .xmrig.json or .config/xmrig.json +in your user home directory. + +Donations: +Donations are the percentage of your hashing power that you want to +donate to the developer, and are used to support XMRig Development. +Default donation 1% (1 minute in 100 minutes) can be increased via +command line option --donate-level or disabled in the source code. +Alternatively, pass the option "DONATE=no" to the script to disable +donations altogether (although a one-time donation to the developers +is recommended if you choose to do this). + +Algorithms: +Various algorithms can be enabled/disabled by passing variables to the +script (VAR=yes/no ./feather.SlackBuild) These algorithms include: +WITH_CN_LITE=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable all CryptoNight-Lite algorithms (cn-lite/*)) +WITH_CN_HEAVY=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable all CryptoNight-Heavy algorithms (cn-heavy/*)) +WITH_CN_PICO=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable CryptoNight-Pico algorithms (cn-pico and cn-pico/tlo)) +WITH_CN_FEMTO=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable CryptoNight-UPX2 algorithm) +WITH_RANDOMX=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable RandomX algorithms (rx/*)) +WITH_ARGON2=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable Argon2 algorithms (argon2/*) +WITH_KAWPOW=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable KawPow algorithm (kawpow) +WITH_GHOSTRIDER=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable GhostRider algorithm (gr) + +Features: +Various features can be enabled/disabled by passing variables to the +script (VAR=yes/no ./feather.SlackBuild) These features include: +WITH_HWLOC=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable hwloc support. Disabling this feature is not recommended + in most cases. This feature adds an external dependency to + libhwloc (1.10.0+)) +WITH_LIBCPUID=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable built-in libcpuid support. This feature is always disabled + if hwloc is enabled. If both hwloc and libcpuid are disabled, auto + configuration for CPU will be very limited.) +WITH_HTTP=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable built-in HTTP support. This feature is used for HTTP API + and daemon (solo mining) support) +WITH_TLS=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable SSL/TLS support (secure connections to pool). This feature + adds an external dependency to OpenSSL (included in Slackware by + default)) +WITH_ASM=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable assembly optimisations for modern CryptoNight algorithms) +WITH_EMBEDDED_CONFIG=yes|no (default: no) + (enable embedded config support) +WITH_OPENCL=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable OpenCL backend) +WITH_CUDA=yes|no (default: no) + (enable NVIDIA CUDA backend; requires xmrig-cuda dependency) +WITH_NVML=yes|no (default: no) + (disable NVML (NVIDIA Management Library) support. This feature is + only available if CUDA is enabled) +WITH_MSR=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable MSR mod & 1st-gen Ryzen fix) +WITH_ADL=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable ADL (AMD Display Library) or sysfs support. Tihs feature + is only available if OpenCL is enabled) +WITH_PROFILING=yes|no (default: no) + (enable profiling for developers) +WITH_SSE4_1=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable SSE 4.1 for Blake2) +WITH_BENCHMARK=yes|no (default: yes) + (disable builtin RandomX benchmark and stress test) +WITH_SECURE_JIT=yes|no (default: no) + (enable secure access to JIT memory.
