XMRig v5.1.0 — High-performance cross-platform miner RandomX, CryptoNight and Argon2 CPU / GPU open source, with official support for Windows.
November 30, Monero (XMR) will be working hard on block 1978433 for transition to a new algorithm. Upcoming fork will change the current algorithm CryptoNight R for mining on the new Random X PoW algorithm, in fact, transferring mining coins to the CPU.
There are already several miners mining coins using the RandomX algorithm, one of which is XMRig v5.1.0, which you can download from the links below: https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases
Changelog:
Changes v5.1.0
Fixed mining resume after donation round for pools with self-select feature.

Changes v5.0.0
This version is first stable unified 3 in 1 GPU+CPU release, OpenCL support built in in miner and not require additional external dependencies on compile time, NVIDIA CUDA available as external CUDA plugin, for convenient, 3 in 1 downloads with recent CUDA version also provided.
This release based on 4.x.x series and include all features from v4.6.2-beta, changelog below include only the most important changes, full changelog available separately.
Optimized hashrate calculation.

Added CUDA specific command line options: --cuda, --cuda-loader and --no-nvml.
Removed command line option --http-enabled, HTTP API enabled automatically if any other --http-* option provided.
Added OpenCL mining backend.
Added RandomX support for OpenCL, thanks @SChernykh.
Algorithm cn/wow removed, as no longer alive.
Config XMRig
The preferred way to configure the miner is to file JSON configuration, as it is more flexible and user friendly. The command line interface does not cover all functions, such as profiles mining for various algorithms. Important parameters are subject to change. at runtime without rebooting the miner by editing configuration file or making API calls.
An example of a batch file for processors:
:start
xmrig -a randomx -o pool.supportxmr.com:5555 -u 44tLjmXrQNrWJ5NBsEj2R77ZBEgDa3fEe9GLpSf2FRmhexPvfYDUAB7EXX1Hdb3aMQ9FLqdJ56yaAhiXoRsceGJCRS3Jxkn.5d3c802ee0f8e12e4eb9792722b7816a42178aa29ef7477c138ddb940c55648d.rig1 -p x --donate-level=1
