How to setup XMRIG for CPU mining on MacOS

Compatible algorithms: RandomX, GhostRider

Download the mining files

In order to mine with your CPU you can use XMRIG, simply download it from here:

https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases

Go to Assets and download the latest version available.

Setup with config.json file

In order to start mining simply open the .json file included within the same folder as Xmrig.exe with any text editor and edit the "pool" attribute like the following:

"algo": "rx/0",

"coin": "monero",

"url": "rx.unmineable.com:3333",

"user": "YOUR_ALIAS",

"pass": "x",

Or if you prefer start mining using the GhostRider algorithm:

"algo": "ghostrider",

"coin": null,

"url": "ghostrider.unmineable.com:3333",

"user": "YOUR_ALIAS",

"pass": "x",

Accounts are now available and make mining significantly more flexible!

As part of this update, using an Alias is now the preferable way to start mining. This allows you to better manage your activity and distribute your hashrate across our supported coins with greater control.

If you haven’t created an Account yet, you can easily do so through our website.

Once you have the start.bat file, simply double click it, a terminal window will show up and you will be now mining! 😀

Setup with a Legacy Address

Despite the addition of the Accounts section to our website and mining pool, it is still possible to mine using legacy addresses for those who prefer the classic setup or need a quick start:

"algo": "rx/0",

"coin": "monero",

"url": "rx.unmineable.com:3333",

"user": "COIN:YOUR_ADDRESS.WORKER_NAME",

"pass": "x",

Or if you prefer start mining using the GhostRider algorithm:

"algo": "ghostrider",

"coin": null,

"url": "ghostrider.unmineable.com:3333",

"user": "COIN:YOUR_ADDRESS.WORKER_NAME",

"pass": "x",

You must change COIN, YOUR_ADDRESS and WORKER_NAME.

COIN is the coin you are mining, for example: ADA, TRX, WIN, or more. Also keep the ":" symbol between the coin and your address. YOUR_ADDRESS must be a valid address for the coin you choose, otherwise the pool will return an error, also be sure to check the supported network for some coins, like TRC20 for USDT mining (TRON address). Your WORKER_NAME is simply any name that you would like to set for your worker, to identify it on the website.

If you are mining XRP to an exchange or other coin that require payment tags or a memo to work, don't forget to add your memo or payment tag after your address:

XRP:YourAddress:YOUR_MEMO_OR_TAG.YourWorkerName

Important:

In some cases, the app could be blocked inmediately after execute the app, be sure to set an exception on the Security & Privacy settings, for this, you must go to System Preferences, click in "Security & Privacy" and finally press the “Allow” button:

Otherwise, if the following alert is showed, simply click "Open":

Once you have the Config.json file completed with your information, simply double click it, a terminal window will show up and you will be now mining! 😀
