xmrig

xmrig is an open-source Linux application for cryptocurrency mining and RandomX benchmarking. It provides a unified miner that can use CPU or GPU resources with the RandomX, KawPow, CryptoNight, and AstroBWT algorithms. In MirrorNest, it is listed in the business category for users who need a command-line mining and benchmarking tool.

The program is operated from a terminal, where users select the options they need, specify a mining pool and port, and provide a wallet address. A basic command can define the pool endpoint and wallet with the format xmrig -o example.pool.com:4444 -u [wallet address]. This makes the main operating details explicit in the command used to start the application. The available command-line options are documented at https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/command-line-options.

Users who prefer a configuration file can place config.json in /home/$USER/snap/xmrig/common/. Alternatively, xmrig can be given a configuration file location directly with an option such as --config=FILE. The Configuration Wizard at https://xmrig.com/wizard provides another resource for preparing configuration settings.

MirrorNest mirrors the official xmrig build directly on its own storage. Each mirrored file is scanned for malware before publishing. This distribution approach gives Linux users access to the open-source application through MirrorNest while keeping the listed platform and license information clear.
