Already have your 0x02 address? Replace the placeholder and run (Windows: PowerShell in the xmrig folder; give each machine a different name, e.g. .rig1 / .rig2).
The address only — never a seed phrase or private key. This pool holds no custody. Easiest: grab the Zycord Wallet desktop app (zycord.com → Downloads — Windows/macOS/Linux) and create a wallet to get your 0x02 address. Terminal equivalent:
./zycordd wallet new # creates a seed phrase — WRITE IT DOWN, store offline # follow the prompts → you get a 0x02 persistent address # that address = miner identity + payout address, goes into XMRig's -u
Download XMRig 6.26.0 (official release, verify SHA256SUMS). Do NOT use --randomx-mode light — rx/2 light-mode hashes disagree with verification and shares will be rejected. On cloud hosts / containers (Clore, LXC, some KVM) add --randomx-no-numa, or the dataset binding fails and every share is rejected (symptom: log full of skipped (can't bind memory) with accepted stuck at 0).
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| CPU | x86-64 · AES-NI |
| Memory | ≥ 3 GB free (2.1 GB dataset + cache) |
| OS | Windows 10+ / Linux |
| Huge pages | Recommended: on Windows, running XMRig as administrator auto-requests the privilege; effective after reboot (+1-3%) |
Full commands in the "Full Startup Command" section above (ports follow the network switch); set login to your 0x02 address, optionally suffixed .rig1 to label devices — one unique name per machine (rig1, rig2, or the hostname); two machines sharing a name merge into one row. Your workers appear on the leaderboard instantly.
Bare metal / dedicated (default is optimal — omit --threads and XMRig uses every logical core):
Cloud host / container (NUMA workaround added):
Order of magnitude: at 1% of network hashrate, expect the first payout within several hours (maturity + batching threshold); a growing "pending" figure before that is normal.
| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| no template available · endless retry | Genesis not reached yet (before mainnet Oct 07): idling is normal, mining starts automatically on time |
| skipped (can't bind memory) · accepted 0% | Container forbids NUMA: add --randomx-no-numa and restart |
| share below job target loop | Light mode by mistake: remove --randomx-mode light |
| occasional Block expired (<5%) | Normal block-race discard, no action needed |
| donate.v2.xmrig.com in log | XMRig's default developer donation (adjustable via --donate-level); unrelated to this pool |
