  • Gupax - Enabling 1GB Pages ain't working
    1 project | /r/MoneroMining | 24 Jul 2023
    I'm not so new to XMRig, but I am new to Gupax.io and I'm lost on how I can get 1GB Pages from Disabled to Enabled in the XMRig portion of Gupax. Yes, my CPU supports it. Yes, I made sure my Linux OS uses HugePages. Yes, my RAM and OS CLI checks reflect their usage. Yes, I've also used this script . It all works, except in Gupax.

    I would recommend running XMRig directly so as to weed out any problems related to AwesomeMiner.
  • Question about withdrawing from nicehash
    1 project | /r/gpumining | 3 Jun 2023
    I’m guessing you are also CPU mining? That is likely an issue with XMRig, correct? If so, first be sure you launch NiceHash as Admin. Right-click the shortcut -> Properties -> Shortcut tab -> Advanced -> Run as administrator. Relaunch NiceHash from the update shortcut, and approve the User Account Control prompt. If that doesn’t solve it, leave the setting intact, but try a couple of other options: 1. toggle “Disable Device Status Monitoring” from NiceHash settings cog icon -> Advanced tab, which is an easy fix that prevents temperature monitoring. 2. the better solution, is to overwrite your XMRig.exe in the XMRig plug-in internals directory [NiceHash Plugins tab -> XMRig -> three dots -> Show Internals -> bins directory -> latest (i.e., 19.1) -> XMRig directory (i.e., xmrig-6.8.1) -> XMRig.exe] with the latest version (v6.19.3) of XMRig.exe available from https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/releases . For me, swapping the .exe file and running as Admin resolves the issue.

    Monero is mined with CPU, and the best software for this is XMRig. You will need to join a mining pool to mine Monero.

  • Running Turtlecoind on Raspberry Pi?
    2 projects | /r/TRTL | 7 Jun 2021
    After about an hour of compiling, it finally finished. It seems like adding -DDISABLE_ASM=ON to the cmake command allowed the compiling to go through. Maybe if the devs see this, they can weigh in. Maybe there is an option to select the Raspberry Pi corext A-53 (or whatever) as a flag to the compiler to have a more optimized version. And otherwise adding Raspberry Pi specific instructions to the build page might be a good idea.

  • How to withdraw or transfer from Turtlewallet?
    1 project | /r/TRTL | 21 Apr 2021
    Hey guys, I'm a newbie, I started mining about 15 days ago, I created my wallet in the turtlewallet itself ( https://turtlecoin.lol/ ). I did several searches to find out how I transfer or withdraw from the "Turtlewallet" and find nothing about it. I waited awhile before making this post here asking such a question that I think is a ridiculous question for many here. Please, could someone help me? =/
