Mining Setup

To mine xRhodium you need to set up an XRC wallet and configure your miner of choice. You can choose between Web wallet and Electrum-XRC wallet. To set up a web wallet please visit wallet.xrhodium.org. Or download and install Electrum-XRC wallet (recommended) for Windows, Linux and MacOS.

Web wallet: wallet.xrhodium.org

Electrum-XRC wallet (recommended): electrum.xrhodium.org

Sign up for XRC web wallet if not yet done so

  1. Create an account, with your username, password and secure question.

2. Sign in and click “Create Wallet”.

3. Set up a strong transaction password. Make sure you store it securely in a secure password manager of choice.

4. Copy the seed somewhere safe. It’d be a good idea to write seed on a hardcopy and keep it safe.

5. Paste it to confirm you got it right.

6. Grab an address for the mining step. Your wallet is now ready to mine XRC.

Instructions for mining XRC on the official pool

Pool link: poolcore.xrhodium.org

1. Any miner that supports X13 will be able to mine XRC. We have a few examples below of miners that are well tested with xRhodium network.

2. For any miner, configure the miner to point to:

(0–0.8 GH/s) stratum+tcp://poolcore.xrhodium.org:3061

(0.8–2 GH/s) stratum+tcp://poolcore.xrhodium.org:3062

(3–4 GH/s) stratum+tcp://poolcore.xrhodium.org:3063

(5+ GH/s) stratum+tcp://poolcore.xrhodium.org:3064

with your XRC address as username and x as password. You don’t need to open an account on pool. You will be mining to XRC address and mined coins will be transferred to your wallet

after blocks reach 10 block maturity

after you mined up minimal amount of coins (currently 0.1 XRC)

sometimes mined blocks could get rejected by network (orphaned) after they were counted as valid blocks. This is normal network behavior to follow longest chain

3. http://poolcore.xrhodium.org is used to follow your miner and network statistics.

CPU Miner-Multi

Source: https://github.com/tpruvot/cpuminer-multi

Sample configuration with CPU Miner tested on UBUNTU.

{

“url” : “stratum+tcp://poolcore.xrhodium.org:3061”, “user” : “YOUR XRC ADDRESS”,

“pass” : “x”,

“algo” : “x13”, “threads” : 1,

“cpu-priority” : 5,

“cpu-affinity” : 1, “benchmark” : false, “debug” : true, “protocol”: true, “show-diff”: true, “quiet” : false

}

Command to run your CPUMiner: cpuminer -c cpuminer.json

SGMiner (ATI GPU)

SGMiner is a GPU-based mine: https://github.com/nicehash/sgminer/releases

The configuration below was tested on Windows:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0

setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100

setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

cd C:\Software\sgminer-5.6.1-nicehash-51-windowsamd64 sgminer.exe

— gpu-platform 1 — algorithm x13mod -url stratum+tcp://poolcore.xrhodium.org:3062 — pool-user — userpass :x — auto-fan — temp-target 70 — temp-over- heat 82 — temp-cutoff 85 — gpu-fan 65–85 — log-file log.txt — no-adl — no-extra- nonce -P –T

CCMiner (NVIDIA GPU)

CCMiner is a GPU-based miner (NVIDIA)

Command to run your CCMINER:

ccminer-x64.exe -a x13 -o stratum+tcp://poolcore.xrhodium.org:3062 -O :without -D — show-diff

Baikal miner

Settings: Url:

(0–2 GH/s) stratum+tcp://poolcore.xrhodium.org:3062

(3–4 GH/s) stratum+tcp://poolcore.xrhodium.org:3063

(5+ GH/s) stratum+tcp://poolcore.xrhodium.org:3064

Algo: x13User: your XRC receiving address (make sure you set 2 distinct addresses for each hashing board)

Pass: x

Extranonce: leave off Priority set to 0 and 1

Once pool stratum address and your wallet as user are set up you should see your miner mining against XRC pool. When miner is working the status column is green. The pool and miner are incorrectly configured now as status says “Dead” highlighted in red.

Instructions for mining XRC on BSOD pool

Pool link: bsod.pw/en/pool/dashboard/XRC/

Use this code for your miner: -a x13 -o stratum+tcp://pool.bsod.pw:2582 -u WALLET.rig

BSOD pool allows both solo and party mining.

For solo mining use code: -a x13 -o stratum+tcp://pool.bsod.pw:2582 -u WALLET.rig -p m=solo

And for party mining use: -a x13 -o stratum+tcp://pool.bsod.pw:2582 -u WALLET.rig -p m=party.yourpassword

NOTICE: You can use us for North America and asia for Asia instead of euin your .bat file or config.

You can also use BSOD pool’s monitor app for Android and iOS.

Instructions for mining XRC on ZERGPOOL

Zergpool offers low fees (just 0.5%) and also SOLO and PARTY mining with no extra fees.

To mine XRC on Zergpool use this command lines for your miner:

Regular: -a x13 -o stratum+tcp://x13.mine.zergpool.com:3633 -u <WALLET_ADDRESS> -p c=XRC,mc=XRC

Solo: -a x13 -o stratum+tcp://x13.mine.zergpool.com:3633 -u <WALLET_ADDRESS> -p c=XRC,mc=XRC,m=solo

Party: -a x13 -o stratum+tcp://x13.mine.zergpool.com:3633 -u <WALLET_ADDRESS> -p c=XRC,mc=XRC,m=party.

Use your coin wallet address as username in mining software. Specify c=SYMBOL as password to identify payout wallet coin, and the same coin in mc=SYMBOL to specify mining coin.

For more information and support please visit http://zergpool.com

Notice that when there are more pools mining XRC in different geographic/availability locations choose the nearest to you as lowest priority and then add desirable fall back pool options in different geographic locations or pools. This is useful when one pool experiences issues, to fall back to different pool in xRhodium network.
