Title: Monero Mining : Getting Read for Fork Question
Post by: sundownz06 on November 05, 2019, 11:50:15 AM
Hey guys,

Does anyone know off hand... if I can set up all my CPUs to mine Monero NOW and if XMRIG / the pool will automatically detect the switch to RandomX ?

Or... do I need to sit beside my computers waiting on the switch to flip, haha!

I have 100+ smaller CPUs and 30+ quad CPU servers that I would need to flip over... so I am hoping for the easy solution.

Xmrig will change it automatically , just set it to coin: monero

Also because you have so many small cpus you should use xmrig proxy.

a quad cpu barely gets over 1500 khs , honestly i think you will be just wasting power

Awesome, thanks!

I haven't really messed with the proxy in the past... maybe it will be a good time to do so.

Yes right now it doesn't really pay well -- I am thinking if I can be right there when the algo flips to RandomX and overall network capacity dips it may be profitable once more. I have a TON of CPUs and they do better on RandomX than GPUs.
