xmrig – High performance RandomX, KawPow, CryptoNight, AstroBWT and Argon2 unified CPU/GPU miner.
XMRIG – A program for mining coins on the RandomX and CryptoNight algorithms. Suitable for both AMD and Nvidia video cards and processors. The program has a commission to the developer in the form of 1-5%. In this step-by-step instruction, we will tell you how to set up the commission and body shirts for different coins.
Added pause on battery option supported in Windows and Linux.
Added command line options –randomx-cache-qos and –argon2-impl.

We edit the .bat file with the desired coin (change the wallet to your own)
Customizing a batch file
xmrig – this key will indicate which program will be launched. We leave it as it is. For Nvidia, specify xmrig-nvidia
-a randomx – specify the algorithm. For Monero, leave this one. For coins on the cryptonight-lite algorithm, we indicate it
-o pool.supportxmr.com – specify the address of your pool. In this example, we have supportxmr, because at the time of writing, it has received the most positive reviews
5555 – after the pool address, we indicate the pool port, separated by a colon. dwarfpool has 8050
-u 4ALcw9nTA … r34HNroSAZ – after the -u key, indicate the address of your digital wallet. Get it on the cryptocurrency exchange, or install a cold wallet
—donate-level = 1 – set up the miner’s commission. By default, it is 5%. level = 1 means 1%
You can add the “pause” key at the very bottom of the batch file, so that in the event of a program error or incorrect syntax of the .bat file, the program does not close immediately, but displays the error code and description on the screen
Examples of .bat file:
Example batch file for AMD:
:start
xmrig -a randomx -o xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14444 -u 44tLjmXrQNrWJ5NBsEj2R77ZBEgDa3fEe9GLpSf2FRmhexPvfYDUAB7EXX1Hdb3aMQ9FLqdJ56yaAhiXoRsceGJCRS3Jxkn.5d3c802ee0f8e12e4eb9792722b7816a42178aa29ef7477c138ddb940c55648d.rig1 -p x --donate-level=1 --opencl
goto start
An example of a batch file for Nvidia:
:start
