XMRig Setup and Configuration​

CPU XMRig Configuration​

  1. Unzip the file and extract the files into a new folder (Make sure your anti-virus doesn't delete the files)
  2. Open the config.json file with Notepad.
  3. Find and change the following lines:
   algo: "[algorithm]"
   url: "[pool address]"
   user: "[wallet address]"
  • Instead of [algorithm], simply type argon2/chukwa.
  • In place of [pool address], you'll need to choose a pool to mine towards. You can learn more about them here.
  • Instead of [wallet address], simply paste your Zent Cash wallet's address.
    • If you don't have one yet, you can find out how to create a wallet here
