In this guide, you will learn how to set up and use Wildrig 0.35.1 and higher for KawPow mining. Wildrig is a cryptocurrency mining software that supports a large number of algorithms, including less popular mining algorithms. Works with AMD since R200 series and Nvidia. The miner’s commission is 1%.

How to set up Wildrig
Step 1 – Download the miner
The mining software is run via the command line on Linux and via a .bat file on Windows. Below are sample bat files for each cryptocurrency you can mine with Wildrig-Multi.The mining software is run via the command line on Linux and via a .bat file on Windows. Below are sample bat files for each cryptocurrency you can mine with Wildrig-Multi.
Step 2 – Set up a batch file for KawPow
Be sure to replace YOUR_ADDRESS with your wallet address. Replace RIG_ID with your own farm name. You can name the farm whatever you like, but the name must contain only Latin letters and the characters “-” and “_”. The wallet must match the cryptocurrency you are mining.
An example of a Wildrig .bat file for a Beepool (Ravencoin) pool:
wildrig.exe --print-full --algo kawpow --url stratum+tcp://rvn-pool.beepool.org:9531 --worker RIG_ID --user R1EeArXkWLNERjWo5YF3R1xFnYCwKf11sL --pass x
pause
Step 3 – Launch Wildrig
Save this batch file and then click start.bat to start mining.
Configuration example for Firo (Zcoin)
STRATUM: | stratum+tcp://xzc.2miners.com |
PORT: | 8080 |
Username (wallet): | aМLjCeLBmBGEJP6dYtWEMdZZuPH4w6uFsK |
Password: | x |
This is how the finished Wildrig batch file for Firo (Zcoin) will look like:
wildrig.exe --print-full --algo mtp --url stratum+tcp://xzc.2miners.com:8080 --worker RIG_ID --user aМLjCeLBmBGEJP6dYtWEMdZZuPH4w6uFsK --pass x
pause
This is how the WildRig batch file for Ravencoin on the Beepool pool will look like:
To set up a batch file for KAWPOW, we need to enter 5 commands in turn:
- wildrig.exe – name of the worldgram file to be launched
- kawpow – mining algorithm
- rvn-pool.beepool.org:9531 – pool address and port
- RKAeArXkWLNERjWo5YF3R1xFnYCwKf11sX – wallet for mining.
Setup for NiceHash
Here is the batch file for NiceHash:
wildrig.exe --print-full --algo kawpow --url stratum+tcp://kawpow.eu-west.nicehash.com:3385 --worker RIG_ID --user 3LZhp4g3m7YWqR4hAPrZsKWbyo7hRBmqvy --pass x
pause
Teams
–algo or a short synonym for this command -a – specifies the algorithm for mining (for example: ‘mtp’, ‘lyra2Z’, ‘scrypt’, ‘myr-gr’)
Important! Use either the long synonym –algo or the short one -a. You don’t need to use both together.
Further commands will be specified separated by commas. First a short synonym, and then a long one. Remember that you only need to use one option.
-v, –version Display version and exit.
-c, –config \<config file path> – Use config in JSON format instead of batch file (CMD file).
Versions
0.35.1
0.32.1
- firopow implemented
- mike implemented
- implemented support for future DAG reduction for progpow-veil
- implemented background compilation of progpow kernels
- fixed gfx1034(Radeon 6500XT) support
- up to 10% faster than curvehash
0.31.5
- curhash support on nvidia GPUs.
- slight curvehash acceleration for Polaris/Vega GPUs.
0.31.3
0.31.2
- improved heavyhash for AMD Polaris (~1.5%), Vega (~10%), RDNA/RDNA2 (~3-4%);
- implemented correct message about unsupported iGPUs in new AMD drivers (21.5.2+);
- implemented parameter –watchdog-script;
- fixed AMD GPU temperature/power/fan monitoring under Linux and RDNA/RDNA2 under Windows.
0.31.1
- improved heavyhash to 10% on lower power RDNA/RDNA2 GPUs;
- Fixed power spikes on NVIDIA GPUs.
0.31.0
- added default options for CMP 40/50/70/90/170 HX and RTX 4500/5000/6000.
- improved heavyhash performance by ~80% (NVIDIA Pascal/Turing/Ampere) and 20% (AMD RDNA 2).
- heavyhash fee set at 2% for nvidia rigs.
0.30.6 beta
- another round of Heavyhash optimization (up to 10% on some maps).
- another round of Heavyhash optimization (up to 10% on some maps).
0.30.3 beta
- fixed broken 5500/5600/5700 support (introduced in 0.30.2)
- implemented heavyhash algorithm (nvidia gpu needs more optimization)
0.30.2 beta
- ssl support
- slightly faster ghostrider algorithm (1-2%)
0.30.1 beta
- fixed crashes on Ghostrider;
- reduced developer commission to 1% on Ghostrider;
- gfx803 should now be supported (RX550 cards with latest drivers).
0.30.0 beta
- fixed support for various drivers for RDNA/RDNA 2 GPUs;
- added ghostrider algorithm;
Polaris and Vega GPUs can be accelerated with the –opencl-threads 2 and higher intensity option (e.g. –opencl-launch 2048).
Focus on the amount of available memory on your GPU. 2048 will use 4GB + a bit more, so 4GB won’t work. Try lower values like 1792 or 1920.
0.29.0 beta
- implemented support for AMD RDNA 2 GPUs (6×00 series)
- fixed support for new AMD drivers
