Cryptocurrency or Monero crypto currency with the XMR code is one of the cryptocurrencies that can be mined or mined by relying on the CPU. Monero can actually be mined with a GPU (relying on a graphics card/VGA), but experts suggest Monero with the RandomX algorithm will run effectively on CPUs that rely on processor work. As additional information, Monero is resistant to new mining tools, namely ASIC-based ones commonly used to mine Bitcoin.

By only relying on a home laptop with a good processor without a GPU, we can mine Monero. But this time the guide is not for home laptops but for VPS servers. There are several methods and some software for mining Monero. Below is a guide to install the XMR-Stak RX software on a VPS or virtual private server. The condition is, you have to buy a vps first. One of the advantages of vps is that we don't think about maintenance, don't think about internet connections, and don't think about electricity. Everything can run 24 hours a day without us being complicated. Before following this guide, you must first have a vps, have a monero wallet address, and have chosen a pool for mining. The pool is a collection of miners who together use the same mining server so that they have a strong hashrate to win the Monero mining. You can mine yourself or solo miners, but yes, we will lose with the high hashrate of this poo-pool. Oh yes, the advantage of this XMR Stak RX is that it is free or free of charge. In contrast to XMRIG, which cites a fee of 1 percent, and XMR Stak, which quotes 1 percent. XMR Stak RX is zero percent aka free. However, we will still be charged a 1 percent fee by the minexmr.com pool (each pool has a different fee) Below are some details regarding this guide: Mined coin is monero The mining software used is XMR Stak Rx https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/tree/xmr-stak-rx/doc The pool used is minexmr.com Pool configuration can be viewed using xmrig.com/wizard The VPS used in this guide is an AMD Ryzen-based vps with 4 vCPUs and 8 threads for around IDR 100,000 per month on the Ubuntu 18.04 platform. The wallet used is the official Monero wallet, get the wallet at https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/#gui Here's a guide to install Monero mining software XMR Stak RX on Linux, especially Ubuntu and Debian: Time needed: 5 hours. How to Install XMR Stak RX on an Ubuntu VPS: Make sure you have root access to the vps If you buy a vps, you will be given root access. Use putty software to connect to vps For those who don't have putty, first download https://www.putty.org/. After connecting to the vps and logging in with root, type the following: sudo apt install libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev cmake build-essential libhwloc-dev git clone https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak.git -b xmr-stak-rx mkdir xmr-stak/build cd xmr -stak/build cmake .. make install Tips: Copy the command above, then to paste it in PuTTY, just right click the mouse or mousepad. Now it's time to setup configuration The advantage of XMR-Stak RX is that it has a GUI or graphical user interface that asks what fields to enter in the configuration file. So we don't have to do it ourselves. Currently, you are in the xmr-stak-build directory. To run the configuration command, type in the putty terminal as follows: cd bin Then we are in the bin directory, and execute the program by typing: ./xmr-stak-rx So, there will be questions like this: Use simple setup methods? (Y/n) StackOfStake referral program just type : y Configuration stored in file 'config.txt' Please enter: Please enter the currency that you want to mine: – arqma – keva – loki – monero – safex – randomx – randomx_arqma – randomx_keva – randomx_loki – randomx_safex – randomx_wow – wownero just type: monero Pool address: eg pool.example.com:3333 You must have a pool address, for example in minexmr.com Mine I fill in: de.minexmr.com:443 Username (wallet address or pool login): Fill in the wallet address you Password (mostly empty or x): type: x Does this pool port support TLS/SSL? Use no if unknown. (y/N) type : y Pool configuration stored in file 'pools.txt' [2021-03-03 00:07:18] : start self test for 'randomx' (can be disabled with the command line option '–noTest ') xmr-stak-rx 1.0.5-rx a061535 Brought to you by fireice_uk and psychocrypt under GPLv3. Based on CPU mining code by tevador and SChernykh. You can use the following keys to display reports: 'h' – hashrate 'r' – results 'c' – connection The information above tells us that the settings we entered are stored in pools.txt. At any time we can edit the file by typing: nano pools.txt. Now, the system will automatically run the Monero mining program with XMR Stak RX. Like this picture: Mining Monero with XMR Stalk RX The configuration is complete, if successful the image will be like below Mining Monero with XMR Stalk RX To find out our server hashrate Type the letter h to know our hashrate https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.endonesia.com/f=auto%2Cq=40/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/capture-xmr-stak-rx2.jpg Monitor mining activity from our pool dashboard If we use the minexmr.com pool, then visit this url to access our monero mining dashboard https://minexmr.com/dashboard Then enter the wallet address in the address field. The result will be like this: minexmr Dash dashboard The image above shows: my vps hashrate is 1.468 kh/s or 1.468 h/s. The amount of monero I have managed to mine is 0.001715 XMR. Minexmr hashrate pool strength is 715 Mh/s. Good luck, if you have any questions, please leave a comment below (use facebook comment) or email us at apakabar@endonesia.com. We will answer the selected questions by means of our guide. Note: if there is a problem with memory allocation failure for hugepages like this: MEMORY ALLOC FAILED: mmap with HUGETLB failed, trying without it (you should fix your kernel) the solution type as follows: sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=128 Learn about this hugepages problem here https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/issues/878 and also here https://github.com/coincashew/coincashew/blob/master/coins/overview- xmr/guide-how-to-mine-xmr.md.
