Downloading and Building on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04)
For CPU
sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake libuv1-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev
git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
cd xmrig
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
Optional You can use gcc 7 for a small performance increase.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/gcc-7.1
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-7 g++-7
If the command add-apt-repository
is not found, install software-properties-common
first.
When running the cmake manually, specify C and C++ compiler:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc-7 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-7

git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-nvidia.git
cd xmrig-nvidia
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCUDA_ARCH="20;30;50"
make
For AMD GPU
sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake libuv1-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev
git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-amd.git
mkdir xmrig-amd/build
cd xmrig-amd/build

git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
cd xmrig
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl
make
Setup and Configuration
For CPU and GPU
Unzip and extract the files into a new folder
Open the
config.json
file with your favorite text editorFind and change the following lines:
"algo: "cryptonight"
"url: "[pool address]"
"user: "[wallet address]"
"variant": 0
You can generate a paper wallet here if you don't already have a Qwertycoin wallet yet.
You can find a list of Qwertycoin pools here.
Save the file and start
xmrig.exe
.
Remember: if you want to mine with both your CPU and your GPU you must have both programs open at the same time!
You can also use this website to generate your conf.json file.
