A advanced guide on how to mine Tesoro with XMRig

If you want to mine with your CPU/GPU, either solo or in a pool, please refer to the step-by-step XMRig tutorial below.

NOTE: YOUR DAEMON MUST BE SYNCED BEFORE USING XMRIG

Make sure to read the XMRig Readme first.

  1. Go to the latest release from the XMRig GitHub.
  2. On the Assets section, choose the correct option based on CPU/GPU mining and OS.
  3. Your anti-virus may flag the miner as a virus, this is a false positive. Whitelist the miner through your anti-virus settings.
  4. Unzip the .zip file with programs such as WinZip or 7zip and open the folder.
  5. Use the Configuration Generator from XMRrig.
  6. Click on New configuration.
  7. Select Add pool (custom) for pool mining or Add daemon for solo mining.
  8. Fill in the required personal information such as wallet address, host etc.
  9. Select Other/Unspecified as the coin and rx/0 as the algorithm.
  10. Download the config.json file and replace it with the original one found in the unzipped folder.
  11. Run the miner. (Administrator privileges possibly needed)

Want to build the miner from source? Please refer to this documentation page.

CLI

If you are using the CLI wallet, you can use the start_mining <threads> command instead. The number defines the amount of threads used.
