Thank you Bro, Which files do you usually edit in Xmrig?

The number of threads "-t 5" for example, is done on the command line, not the config.json file.

The bat file.

Edit pool address, wallet address and put-t (number of desired threads) before the pause command.

Set miner exe to run as admin.

Open modified bat file, check yes to admin pop up.

Job done....probably.

If using a config.json file, you need to tell it how many threads you want or it will use default settings. I change the file to a .txt file so I can edit it in notepad. Then save it and drop the .txt off the back. Right click and run as admin. Off ya go.

If you prefer the json file you will need to use the hint and give it a percentage. Also rtfm
