xmr-stak VS xmrig

On both, I used the mining program https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/ to try and mine Monero to my address, using various different mining pools and configurations, but that never did work either.

CPU-XMRSTAK: - https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases

Is XMR-STAK-RX by fireice-uk a good/legitimate mining software to use? I have attached the link, mods please let me know if this is not allowed. https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases

No probz brotha, here is the miner I use if you want to start https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases Scroll down to where it says Assets 5 and download the .zip one, and run the exe. The program should walk you through the steps pretty well

As for the link to xmr-stak-rx it's in the distro of HiveOS. Or https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases/tag/1.0.5-rx That will get you the plug and play win10 version if that's how you want to go, but you'll have to figure out how to disable Windows antivirus and deal with it complaining that you don't have antivirus enabled, yada yada hyou know the drill...

I use xmr-stak-rx. By default, the miner will use a cpu.txt file to specify CPU mining configuration. Example:

I am cpu mining on Moneroocean and I can see my rigs on the dashboard. I am playing with a gpu miner which is finally running but I do not see it on the dashboard. It is running for an hour now but it is not visible on https://moneroocean.stream/. Is this because the port is different? 10128 for gpu and 10343 for CPU. If so where can I see stats of my gpu rig.

So I've started monero mining on https://moneroocean.stream/ about like 3-4 hours agoMining on my RPi 4 with XMRig below is the pool details (got from ChuckNoris YT)

Over the last 12 hours or so 2 of my 3 CPU miners have stopped showing on the Monero Ocean interface at https://moneroocean.stream.

Check out the autoswitching version of xmrig (for CPUs) forked by monero ocean here: https://github.com/MoneroOcean/xmrig/releases/tag/v6.20.0-mo1

You can mine Ergo, ETC, or RVN on Monero Ocean and get paid in XMR. https://moneroocean.stream/

Don't forget to check out MoneroOcean, maybe it has already caught on to this wave. (Then it would all become easier for you.)

This is where moneroocean comes in. While it's not recommended to mine on a big pool (to avoid centralization of the Monero network), moneroocean lets you mine shitcoins and exchange them with Monero. They also provide a custom XMRig build for that purpose.

It is a bit confusing. When you're mining on a pool like Moneroocean then shares don't matter. They're just a way of proving to the pool that you've done a certain amount of work, and the pool will usually adjust things so you send shares often enough but not too often. Basically you don't have to worry about them. Check your balance on the pool's website, in this case https://moneroocean.stream/

Use your GPU to mine some other algo on MoneroOcean and receive the payment for mining in XMR… ,maximize the efficiencies of other Lagos that are designed for GPU mining and get more XMR
