Cpu Mining With SRBMiner for Arrr on Windows

This guide is based off of the CPU Mining Guide on pirate.black and is intended for Windows.

If you are on linux please use this guide

This guide will use the powershell commandline but if you use another or want to use the GUI you should still be able to follow along

Getting started

The first thing we need is a location to download the miner to so I am going to use c:\mining\srb so lets create that now

First we need to start an Admin Powershell window and then run the following commands to create our folders

New-Item -Path c:\mining\srb -ItemType Directory
cd c:\mining\srb

Then we will need to download of the latest version of SRB Miner which you can find here on their github

so lets download this and unzip it to a safe location you can recall in the future. Replace the download url with whatever is the latest version.

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://github.com/doktor83/SRBMiner-Multi/releases/download/0.7.6/SRBMiner-Multi-0-7-6-win64.zip -OutFile srb.zip

Now lets unzip our download

Expand-Archive -Path srb.zip -DestinationPath .
Move-Item -Path ./SRBMiner-Multi-0-7-6/* -Destination .
Remove-Item -Path ./SRBMiner-Multi-0-7-6/

Alright we now should have our mining files.

This next step is optional however you may wish to cleanup the example scripts so they don’t clutter the folder

Remove-Item -Path start-mining*

Lets also cleanup the downloaded archive

Remove-Item -Path srb.zip

Alright our last step is to generate the script we will use to run our miner. Enter the following commands in order replacing the text after WALLET= with your arrr wallet address (A valid address is shown. Don’t worry the only thing anyone can do with this address is send arrr so don’t worry about sharing it) Also replace the text after ID= to any name you wish to give your miner

$WALLET = "zs1tyvxamrlc7727vgz66e2s78z5vr9q4juqs80cfmdhncdyqryzsqtan4frmatstel8lvry3wkzun"
$ID = "Worker1"

"SRBMiner-MULTI.exe --disable-gpu --algorithm rx2 --pool stratum+tcp://rx2.na.mine.zergpool.com:8335 --wallet $WALLET --password c=ARRR,mc=LUX,id=$ID --cpu-threads 0 --log-file ./log.txt --cpu-threads-priority 1" | Out-File -FilePath start.bat

Congrats you should now be setup and able to mine some LUX using rx2 on SRBMiner and getting paid out in ARRR.

To run the miner just use the following command.

Make sure to use an admin command window to start so it can enable huge pages for a slightly better hashing rate

./mining/srb/start.bat

to quit just hit ctrl + c and the miner will begin to stop its threads

To view your stats on the pool visit the following url and add your address to the end of it https://zergpool.com/?address=replacemewithyoureaddress

Notes

This config is setup to run the miner in low priority mode so that you can still use your computer for other tasks while mining
