ETC Mining Programs, Gminer, T-Rex Miner

It sounds like you have never mined a coin before * 1st find a coin to mine * 2nd find a pool to mine too * 3rd there are typically basic instructions on how to start mining on what ever pool you pick * lets pretend you picked raven coin and you wanted to mine to the flypool.com pool. * now if you look on their website you can find https://ravencoin.flypool.org/start * in here you can see they listed common miner programs people use when mining to their pool * Kawpowminer , T-Rex Miner , GMiner , TT-Miner , NBMiner * lets pretend you picked GMiner you can see they send you a link to the official Gminer page that will help you figure out how to get it going * Download & Configuration Guide

download gminer (it's the miner I use), the windows64.zip file

cd /tmp && mkdir gminer && cd gminer && wget https://github.com/develsoftware/GMinerRelease/releases/download/2.92/gminer_2_92_linux64.tar.xz && tar -xvf gminer_2_92_linux64.tar.xz && /hive/bin/miner stop && mv miner /hive/miners/gminer/2.91/gminer && /hive/bin/miner start

I don't think xmrig is made for GPU mining outside of randomx which is not efficient. At least I haven't had success with it. Check out metaminer, it runs as a layer on top of a GPU miner. Use any combination of GPU miners you like to get the algos you want, i.e. gminer for ethash and kawpow, trex for autolykos. Run metaminer pointing to these programs for xmr centric algo switching and payouts.

MoneroOcean. Two copies of MO-xmrig fork in separate folders. Set one for CPU only. Set other for CUDA which also needs (MO-xmrig-cuda plugin fork)[https://github.com/MoneroOcean/xmrig-cuda/]) added to that folder. Then once all that works add (meta-miner)[https://github.com/MoneroOcean/meta-miner/] to the GPU folder and configure T-Rex for the algos xmrig doesn't do (autolykos2, kawpow, ethash).

This meta-miner? https://github.com/MoneroOcean/meta-miner

Or, wrap your alt miners (for whatever xmrig doesn't support) with meta-miner and it will follow profit at all times.

You should probably configure with meta-miner so that it can change algos to not only the most profitable, but also the most profitable that actually is working. Then your junk will run autolykos2 or kawpow or something whenever ethash sucks.

I just use meta-miner

For all-algos support on GPU you must use meta-miner and configure a couple more miner apps other than xmrig (for the algos it doesn't have). I have better results with T-Rex or lolMiner for kawpow rather than xmrig's support.

The third method is to use MO's meta-miner wrapper which does the algo-perf outside of xmrig and enables launching other miners besides just xmrig (this is how you get the c29 family or ethash). But you can use it instead of the mo-xmrig, and when there is no launch-definition in its mm.json config file for kawpow it won't try it (can't launch anything that doesn't have a launch command). This is clunkier than the built-in autoswitching (meta-miner existed first) since it kills xmrig and relaunches xmrig rather than leaving it all initialized and simply switching algo inside itself. So the switch takes longer which technically is lost work (for whatever time it takes to stop and start an entire xmrig process).

For the GPU side you would use meta-miner and set up for all the algorithms xmrig supports, plus the ones it doesn't via T-Rex (nvidia-only) or lolMiner (AMD or nvidia) for ethash/kawpow/autolykos2, or MoneroVMiner for c29v.

You simply use meta-miner which adds hopping to whatever miner(s) you want. c29b/s/v, autolykos2, kawpow (that isn't the xmrig implementation), ethash.
