Basically to get started with any Cryptocurrency you’ll need three things. Hardware (CPU or GPU). Of the currency to send your mining income. A mining software that lets your hardware to connect to pool stratum and mine a specific algorithm or coin. There are variety of Cryptocurrency hashing algorithms and one among the most popular one is CryptoNight. CryptoNight is a Proof-of-Work mining algorithm that is designed to be mineable using consumer grade CPUs and GPUs. Bytecoin (BCN) and Monero (XMR) are the early currencies to use CryptoNight followed by Electroneum, Sumokoin and Aeon.

Currently there are many CryptoNote forked coins that are powered by this CryptoNight hashing algorithm. XMR-STAK – All-in-One Mining Software for CryptoNight Among those miners XMR-STAK is the only program that supports mining with CPU, NVIDIA GPUs and AMD GPUs. Also it is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS. XMR-Stak is a universal stratum pool miner to mine crypto currencies like Monero, SumoKoin, Electroneum and basically any coins that are powered by cryptonight and cryptonightlite algorithm.

Where to store AEON. You should store your AEON coin using the Sophia client that the development team provides. It’s available on Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. Community members have also created several wallets, but you should be cautious when using these as the official development team does not endorse them.

XMR Stak is well optimized and it is known to significantly generate more hashrates than any other miners. Here in this beginners guide we’ll be showing you how to use XMR-STAK miner.

We are not covering any coins specifically. We’ll just show you how to install xmr stak, configure and connect it to a pool. In addition to that we’ll add some tips, tricks and fixes.

CryptoNight algorithm was formerly. After the recent release of ASICs, coins like Monero and Electroneum has announced that they will hard fork to V7. They will be switching PoW to CryptoNight V7 to combat ASIC machines. While they are on their way; coins like Stellite, Aeon and few others have already forked to CryprtoNightV7.

For this particular V7 algorithm the only miner that is currently available is Stack-XMR. So in addition to configuring xmr stak this guide should also help you get started with mining cryptonight V7 algorithm.

Getting Started Step 1: Go to xmr stak and download the latest version. You’ll find releases from fireice-uk and psychocrypt. At the time of writing this article the latest released version is 2.4.2. Step 2: Download the zip file to your computer. Once done unzip the file into a directory as you wish. While doing this your. It’s nothing to worry about so just add exclusions to the miner.

Step 3: Once extracted; inside the folder you’ll find xmr-stak.exe along with 4 other files. Step 4: Now its time to configure the miner, connect it to a pool and get started with mining. The setup process is basically simple. All we have to do is run the configuration wizard (xmr-stak.exe) and enter the information one by one in the command window. Configuring XMR-STAK Step 5: Run xmr-stak.exe and this is the first thing you’ll notice. It will ask for “Do you want to use the HTTP interface?”. Just type 9999 or any number and hit enter which should create a config.txt. We’ll explain its use later in this article.

Step 6: Next it will ask you to choose the currency that you’d like to mine. Just enter the name of the currency and hit enter. If the currency is not listed then just type the algorithm it uses. In this example we’ll use Stellite as they have recently hard forked to Cryptonight v7. Step 7: Then it will ask pool address for the currency you chose. Choosing the reliable pool for your currency is the most important step.

We hope you found one and almost every crptonight based pool looks similar. If you navigate to get stated page you’ll find the connectivity information. Choose the right address depending on your location and the right port depending on your hardware. Enter the pool address in the command window and hit enter to proceed to the next step. Step 8: Next it will ask for your username which is basically your wallet address.

Enter your wallet address and hit enter. Then password which is mostly empty. Then Rig identifier for pool side statistics which is optional. Next pool port support option (TLS/SSL), just enter n. Nicehash; definitely No. Multiple pools; No. Once this list is complete your miner will connect to the pool and should start mining the coin which you chose. Also it will create 3 more additional files in the folder such as cpu.txt, nvidia.txt or amd.txt and pools.txt.

How to check hashrate and results in xmr-stak You can check your hashrate by entering your wallet address in the pool, but how do you check the results in miner. This command window by default won’t show your mining hashrate or results. To check the hashrate and results in xmr stak you have 2 options. Command line option and HTML reports. Command Line option: Just type h in the command window to display your hashrate and type r to display the share results. It’s plain and simple.

If you want clean looking reports to display your hashrate then you can use the HTML reports option. HTML reports: Remember step 5 where we told you to enter any number; this will come in handy now.

If you are not sure what you entered then go to config.txt file and find this line. 'httpdport': 9999, To check your hashrates, results and connection reports enter the following in your browser address bar. 127.0.0.1:9999/h Where 127.0.0.1 is your local IP and 9999 is the port which we configured initially. You’ll get a neat looking report page which displays your mining hashrates and results. Mining Settings, Intensity tuning and threads configuration: XMR-STAK gives too many options for tuning to get the best results out of your hardware.

By default the miner creates config file for CPU, NVIDIA and AMD GPU. You can edit the values within these text files and see which works best for your rigs. Change the value of intensity, work-size, threads and blocks. You can add more GPUs and also you can lower the power mode of your CPU. For more information on Tuning and configuring your hardware in xmr stak we suggest you to.

We hope this guide has enough basic information covering xmr-stak and mining cryptonight. If you think we missed any then please do mention.

DOWNLOADS. WHAT IS AEON? Aeon (AEON) is a private, secure, untraceable currency. You are your bank, you control your funds, and nobody can trace your transfers.

Privacy: By default, AEON utilizes a cryptographic system to transfer funds without the identifying information of each user becoming visible on the blockchain. Security: Each transaction is secured with robust cryptography and distributed through a global peer-to-peer consensus network. Untraceability: AEON uses ring signatures to make transactions untraceable, meaning it is very difficult for blockchain analysis to determine if funds have been spent. PROJECT. SPECIFICATIONS. PoW algorithm: CryptoNight-Lite.

Max supply: 18.4 million. Block reward: smoothly decreasing (M−A) / (2 18) / (10 12) A=current supply, M=total supply. Block time: 240 seconds. Difficulty: retargets at every block.
